NoteGrid (formerly Wimbo) is a music matching game for anyone interested in making music. Earn coins when you recreate songs and beats using our super simple sequencer for beginners. Solve the daily musical puzzles by making songs or modifying beats and melodies. Develop your musical ear by deciphering melodies in our 100 levels. WHAT THE H*CK IS NOTEGRID? • A music game. You listen to melodies and beats and recreate them on the grid. • Free, with ads. Yep, ads suck, but it keeps the game free for everyone. • An easy music grid sequencer to make your own music even if you don't play an instrument, don't know how to compose music or know any music theory. • The daily challenges are tiny fragments of beats and/or melodies and your goal is to complete the melody or beat by adding to it. Kinda like musical ad libs. • The easiest (and most fun) way to train your ear and music skills by playing our 99+ levels. • Are you seriously still reading? Stop it. Just download it. It's free. WHAT NOTEGRID IS NOT: • NoteGrid is NOT a fancy DAW (music production app) like Ableton Live, Logic Pro X, FL Studio, Pro Tools. • NoteGrid is NOT for recording audio, mixing music or learning an instrument. • NoteGrid is NOT an app for finding recipes. It just isn't. Don't ask. WHY NOTEGRID Team NoteGrid consists of just 2 peeps: Luis and Andrés. We're on a mission to make music-making so easy, any idiot could do it. We also want to make it so fun, that you'd be an idiot not to use it. Apparently, we have a thing for idiots. This app is far from perfect, but we listen to 100% of the feedback we receive and we're adding cool stuff and fixing un-cool stuff every day to reach our goals. We launch updates at least once a week. So, always let us know what you like, what you'd like and what you dislike. Maybe at some point you can tell us "Why NoteGrid". Make your first beats and melodies FOR FREE. SOME ADS. EASY MUSIC MAKER • We made the simplest little grid sequencer so that any idiot could make cool-sounding music. Imagine what you could do. • Unlock more instruments as you progress DEVELOP YOUR MUSICAL EAR • Ear training made fun. • Listen to a melody and re-create it on the grid. It's harder than it sounds. DAILY CHALLENGES The Daily Challenges are basically like Musical Ad Libs. You'll start off with a simple melody or beat on the grid. Build on the existing melody and create something unique of your own. It's so easy, you'll be able to make music that sounds awesome before even knowing what a chord, scale or interval is. You don't need to know how to play any instruments either. You'll also get points for completing these challenges and listening to what others did. CREATE HEAD-BOBBING BEATS • Experiment and let your creativity flow as you produce everything from scratch. • It's so easy, your grandma could do it. (no offense, grandma) • Try different percussion sounds and unlock more instruments as you advance. COMMUNITY • Connect with music makers like you and share your creations in the Jukebox. • Get feedback on your tracks • Show off your musical creativity You may purchase an auto-renewing subscription through an In-App Purchase. • Wimbo Pro Auto-renewable subscription • 1 month ($4.99) durations • Your subscription will be charged to your Apple account at confirmation of purchase and will automatically renew (at the duration selected) unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. • Current subscription may not be cancelled during the active subscription period; however, you can manage your subscription and/or turn off auto-renewal by visiting your Apple Account Settings after purchase • Privacy policy and terms of use:  https://www.iubenda.com/privacy-policy/62771850 https://www.iubenda.com/terms-and-conditions/62771850
