### 3/5 — Want more instruments

*2017-02-26, version 1.1*

Instrument

### 2/5 — Meh

*2012-06-05*

The title says it all, Meh!

### 3/5 — Confuzzling Update

*2012-01-14, version 1.1*

I had the other Thumbstruments app with the djembe and when I updated it it gave me this one. I can't say how good this one is cuz it won't even open. So, uh, what happened?

### 2/5 — Getting better

*2012-01-12, version 1.1*

It's getting better but there's still plenty of room for improvement. I can't say how accurate the sound is for the thumb piano cuz I've never heard one before. The djembe is pretty good but I've found that I will tap & the next time I tap the same place it sounds different. I'm interested to see the finger bells you mentioned for the next update. I naturally want to see them soon but take your time and perfect them. Keep it up! ;)

### 3/5 — Is that it?

*2011-11-03, version 1.0*

I like the app, but is the drum the only instrument?

### 3/5 — More instruments

*2011-10-16, version 1.0*

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2012-08-24, version 1.1*

First of all it took 2 minutes to download, and upon opening it, the app crashed. When i finally use it, i see that it has two instruments. A 'piano' with five keys, and a drum that made two sounds.
Do not download it.
And they think they're doing US a favour, by making it free!
HA! No thanks, thumb wizards!

### 5/5 — Virtual drum

*2011-12-28, version 1.0*

There's only one Thumbstrument so far, but it's a really good one. I love this drum! It's responsive and it changes tone realistically as you strike it in different places. Tappity-tap, nice little app!

### 5/5 — Best Drum App on iTunes Store!

*2011-10-10, version 1.0*

Thumbstruments is so much fun! Whether you're killing time on your commute, or jamming with your fellow musician friends, you'll never miss a beat.  The sounds are amazing and there is a large range of awesome sounds depending on where you hit the drum.  An absolute must for drum enthusiasts!!

### 4/5 — Very cool.

*2013-06-24, version 1.1*

Nice app. I like the drum!

### 4/5 — Great app

*2011-09-12, version 1.0*

This is the best djembe app I've come across yet. The tone of each sound is adjustable, as well as the gain of each. The instrument is responsive to each tap of my fingers/ thumbs, produces great flams and can be played fast.
