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 call

The clearest difference is rating: Musyc at 4.5 against Dropophone's 3.8. Musyc also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 67 months) and ratings volume (83 vs 13). Dropophone's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and review sentiment (88% vs 78%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Musyc holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Musyc has 83 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Dropophone's written reviews are positive against 78% of Musyc's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Dropophone ships an update every 67 months, Musyc every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
