### 5/5 — Great

*2025-05-27*

I love this app, every musician should keep note of their progress and Tambu makes it incredibly easy. I play the drums and its so easy to log bpms, practice sessions, how I’m feeling about said skill, and so on. I can only speak on drums but there are several different instrument options and considering how easy and useful it is to log drums on here I can only imagine the same for the rest if it. On top of that its very easy to reach the developer who is very open to feedback which I think more developers should do. I’m so happy I found this app

### 5/5 — Strava for Musicians!

*2024-12-18, version 1.0.10*

Tambu has completely transformed the way I approach practice sessions. It’s like having a personal digital assistant for music practice! I love being able to organize all my exercises and pieces in one place, and the ability to log and track my sessions makes staying consistent so much easier.

### 5/5 — Nice app

*2024-10-30*

This app is very easy to use, and it makes for a good practice journal. I will be sharing it with my musical friends.

### 5/5 — Very cool App!

*2024-10-21, version 1.0*

Very cool app! Simple to navigate and does exactly what I need. I play the piano and I can record what I practice there and look back at my previous notes
