### 2/5 — I mean

*2024-03-09*

Eh

### 1/5 — Do not download

*2024-02-08*

This is garbage. A previous reviewer said the rings connect via Bluetooth when plugged in but disconnect when not plugged into outlet. That makes the rings useless. And makes the app useless too. Boo!

### 2/5 — I mean

*2024-01-17*

It’s kinda not worth it ADD MORE OPTIONS

### 3/5 — Broken

*2023-12-26*

When I loaded the app I was connecting the rings and when I took the charger out of them when I finished, the rings turned off and wouldent connect. The rings were full of charge. And when I unplugged the rings, they went from green to red.

### 1/5 — Drops connection

*2023-12-25*

The app and or the specdrums drop the Bluetooth connection as soon as the rings are unplugged, the specdrums also are only discoverable on one iPad when they are all updated to the same iOS.

### 1/5 — Fun for a 1 time thing but gets boring

*2022-11-28, version 1.1.3*

Specdrums is fun at first but just doing it over and over again just makes it more boring and the battery never charges

### 5/5 — Really good just one thing

*2022-08-02, version 1.1.3*

So I love this game and I just have one note it’s That when I’m listening to my songs there is no pause button so… well I would love if you would install one🥺🥺🥺Overall it’s a fun game,if I were you I would get it also if your thinking about buying this wait I forgot what I was going to say so byeeeeeeeee

### 4/5 — Eh 0-0

*2022-07-15, version 1.1.3*

It’s good enough for me I use it for my band lol

### 5/5 — It’s a great app but…

*2022-04-05, version 1.1.3*

… I wish there were how-to’s to play some songs like lessons but with popular music if you can do that that would be great.

### 5/5 — Great app…

*2022-01-23, version 1.1.3*

But I wish that you could edit sounds and put recordings in the colors
