Any chance you all could add a reggae groove or two! Thank you! ### 5/5 — I love this app *2024-04-19, version 1.0.8* One thing id enjoy to see added. Would be 16th note break down in between each metronome click. Like 1 e & a lights up in during the clicks somewhere on the screen during. Would help beginners get in tune with the rhythm ### 5/5 — Very usefull *2023-11-14, version 1.0.7* Handy dandy having it all together in a handy app, a free one withouth in app purchases… Thanks! ### 5/5 — Я считаю, это лучшее приложения нуля музыкантов! *2023-08-02, version 1.0.7* Оно подходит не только для басистов, но и для всех музыкантов. Огромный функционал для работы со временем и грувом! Тем более со свободным доступом! Настоятельно рекомендую каждому! ### 5/5 — Drone is not working *2023-05-11, version 1.0.7* Thanks for the app, I think the “Drone” is not working or I don’t know how to use it, Can you guys help me with that? Thanks ### 4/5 — No third party hardware support *2023-03-26, version 1.0.7* I would love to see this app support devices like the iRig so I can practice through headphones. ### 5/5 — So close to perfect! *2022-04-08, version 1.0.7* This app is awesome for bass players as well as other instruments! For so long I’d wanted a chord drone with metronome. So handy! If the app only had a timer function aswell this would be the absolute perfect practice tool!! ### 5/5 — Really great app *2022-03-21, version 1.0.7* This is an incredible app for every musician. As an upright bassist I really like the possibility to practice with metronome and drone at the same time for intonation purposes. Many thanks SBL! ### 5/5 — Very good app. *2022-03-13, version 1.0.7* I love the jazz beats ### 5/5 — Better and better *2022-02-23, version 1.0.7* Great app at the first launch, now with the “drone” mode over drum or star loops is a must for every musician during training sessions. Well done SBL crew! See you in the shed! :-) ### 5/5 — Free and no adverts *2022-02-23, version 1.0.7* What is there not to like? A fantastic practice partner (drum machine, metronome, tuner) and also some recorded drum tracks from well-known drummers. ### 5/5 — Please ensure Scott Devine reads this *2022-01-09, version 1.0.6* Incredible. Love u Scott u bald bass wizard u taught me everything I know I will forever be your loyal bass servant. ### 5/5 — Extraordinary *2021-12-31* Amazing App!! A lot of great features, very useful. Playbacks could have the possibility to change tempo marks...but it's already very good. Fantastic design. I give it 5 stars! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 2/5 — Pitches are not correct *2025-08-22, version 1.0.9* The pitches for the drones are not in the correct key. When I play an A# on my piano it’s picked a whole step higher than the A# in the App. Please correct this ### 2/5 — Stopped Working *2025-04-19, version 1.0.9* Worked great for a few weeks, then the drum beats stopped loading. I’ve tried restarting my phone and uninstalling/reinstalling but it still doesn’t work. ### 3/5 — Love it *2025-06-20, version 1.0.9* Scott fan here ### 3/5 — Great, but no Bluetooth support *2021-12-06, version 1.0.5* Would be nice to run this through your amp via Bluetooth. ### 3/5 — Doesn’t seem to play over Bluetooth to headphones - only out of ipad speaker *2021-11-13, version 1.0.5* Can this be fixed? ### 3/5 — Keeps crashing *2021-11-11* Good rhythm tracks but keeps crashing on iPhone when loading the real drummer tracks. ### 4/5 — Great *2025-03-30, version 1.0.9* Great app could be better with Dynamic Island use for when screen turns off ### 4/5 — Give me a hi-hat sound and it’ll be perfect *2024-05-15, version 1.0.8* I love this, except it’d be great if I could use a hi-hat sound instead of a wood block or cowbell etc. ### 4/5 — Идея прекрасная, нужна доработка *2024-01-10, version 1.0.7* Не работает вкладка со стилями. Жанры не загружаются на iPhone 11 pro , iOS 17.2.1 ### 4/5 — Play / pause *2023-07-15, version 1.0.7* I’m on an iPad with a magic keyboard attached. Wish you could play / pause using the space key. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing practice app *2026-05-15, version 1.0.10* I love this practice app! The only thing that I think would really take it to the next level would be if you could make small loops with the chords from the drone section so that you could practice along with changes, rather than just staying in a single chord. ### 5/5 — Grooves gone? *2025-12-30, version 1.0.10* Love this app so much. I use it every day. After iOS 26.1 update the grooves no longer load. Help me Scott Devine. You’re my only hope! ### 5/5 — Вылетает *2025-12-12, version 1.0.10* Вылетает на iPad Pro 2021, пожалуйста исправьте, невозможно упражняться. ### 5/5 — Nice app! *2025-10-13, version 1.0.10* I love this app. It would be cool if the iOS version had access to the loop playback controls from the lock screen. But that’s just a small detail. Thanks! ### 5/5 — 茶老师推荐的，不错用 *2025-09-17, version 1.0.10* 既有节拍器也有鼓机，甚至还有调音表，很方便 ### 5/5 — Great stuff *2025-08-03, version 1.0.9* Sick app! Has it all and can be used by any musician to practice. ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2025-04-16, version 1.0.9* It also features a ‘drone’ mode where you can modify the sound and also the key. Amazing practice app 👍🏻 ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2025-02-11, version 1.0.9* I’ve had a great time with it as I learned guitar! ### 5/5 — Feature request: count-in *2024-12-27, version 1.0.9* I’ve tried the « training » feature on the metronome today and I could use an option to give me a count-in, if only so I have time to move my strumming hand from the start button to my guitar. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2024-12-23, version 1.0.9* It would be great if you could add lights to each beat.
