ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Drone Piano & Drum Loops holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Drone Piano & Drum Loops has 250 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Dronometer's written reviews are positive against 46% of Drone Piano & Drum Loops's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Dronometer ships an update every 5 months, Drone Piano & Drum Loops every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
