Create your own minimalist melodies with this exciting new app. Based on Lullatone's album "Little Songs About Raindrops," this app allows you to make songs that sound like drips and drops falling on a tiny orchestra of instruments. Pressing the multi-colored raindrops triggers notes that loop every six seconds. Combine different colored drops and notes to compose your own rainy-day melodic backdrops. A metronome is also included to help you keep time. This app is super simple on purpose. Simple is magic! Tell us what you think: hello@lullatone.com

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Mynth at 4.8 against Dropophone's 3.8. Mynth also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 67 months) and device support (4 vs 2). Dropophone's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (8.3 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
