Best rhythm app I have come across. Excellent app with many levels and settings so that it’s a great tool for beginners as well as advanced musicians. Very customizable, every imaginable meter is in there, you can also customize whether to include slurs, rests, etc. Can’t recommend it enough!! The developer shows a real dedication to designing the most comprehensive tool.

Best rhythm sight reading app.. Just take my word for it and purchase the app. I'm constantly finding new features that I didn't even know I wanted.

Excellent app for figuring out rhythms!. I was skeptical at first if this is will serve my needs. Anyway, I took the plunge and found out it doesn’t have 12/8 time. I emailed the developer and he was really quick to respond to my questions and provided me a 12/8 template. Now I’m happy. My favorite part of this app is being able to modify the builtin rhythm exercises to match the music piece I am currently working on. This app really helps a lot. Now on to practice ;-)

strict!. Improves your accuracy Its not easy and you don't want that anyway . You can make adjustments to see and hear downbeat, accented beat, all beats, metronome only in other words about everything Additionally :superlative service. I got lost in the weeds and Rolf stayed with it until I was sure I got it. No developer, in my experience, is this responsive and patient with a old guy. Go get it if you want to know if your skills aren't quite what you thought, or just drill 'till you drop. Thanks Rolf

Underpriced! Get it.. For the amount of exercises, you CANNOT beat $3. I saw another similar app that wanted $10 after the free trial. As a somewhat beginner drummer, this is VERY USEFUL. I can practice timing when I’m on the toilet :) 👍🏻 or wherever else I guess..

Everything you could want in a rhythm app. Wow I’m so grateful for this app. I have struggled with rhythm a lot in my musical journey — mostly when sight reading sheet music and trying to play with other musicians. I just never took the time to clap/count while playing and always learned rhythm by listening to recordings. This app helps you practice with various pre-made exercises and you can even create your own custom exercises. I used it to practice the rhythm of a Bossa Nova song I was working on. There are so many customizations that you can really practice in any way you want and get instant feedback on your accuracy. I haven’t explored all the settings yet. Best of all is there is no reoccurring subscription fee like most apps like this nowadays. Now is the user interface super slick and clean? No, but it’s intuitive enough that you find what you’re looking for pretty easily. A huge thank you to the developer! I’m finally learning how to count properly.

Fantastic Rhythm Tool. This app is everything I dreamed it could be. It provides instant feedback as to how accurate your rhythms are and the exercises are fantastic. I especially love the two finger tapping option for faster rhythms!

Lame. Almost uselesss for real sight reading practice only allows short sequences and can only select preset rhythms,

Game changing educational app. This is a learning tool, not a game or music making app, but if you are a musical person this will be an app you love using. The idea is to tap the rhythms displayed. The levels go from suitable to beginners all the way up to advanced. You can work on rests syncopation, triplets etc. The app is intuitive and easy to use, but it's worth learning about the settings. I found it useful to turn off some of the LEDs and such to make things more realistic. I would like it if they could turn off the tap LEDs to make things even more difficult. I also like the ear training mode. Finally, this can be used by teachers to track their students' progress.

Excellent service. Thank you for adding 5/8 time, and for being so responsive to feedback.

Amazing. I love this app. I play it everyday

I love this app. This is a very useful and fun app for learning to read rhythm notation in music. I also find it very challenging. There are all kinds of options for making it work for you like being able to create your own patterns or selecting individual bars to repeat and practice. They will also have two measures in sequence that sound the same but are noted differently, with one representing all beats (the way it should be) and the next not representing all beats (the way it often is noted in sheet music). I almost gave it four stars because I think some of the setup screens are a little confusing. But overall, this is worth much more than it actually costs when you factor in how rapidly your skill level can improve. So I think it deserves five.

BUY THIS!. I am a piano teacher and just found this app. All my students are loving it so far and enjoying going through the levels. Which is great because suddenly what used to be homework is now fun! Did you hear that? Fun! Would recommend this for anyone. The only thing I would suggest is the menu system maybe having a revamp as the first opening to to select “fixed levels” or “random levels”. I’d love to start at level 0 for some of my kids and I feel like sometimes it would be hard to explain to them how to get to the ‘random levels’ and would be easier. Overall 5/5 app for how amazing everything runs and even though I teach piano, this is a hard app at some of the higher levels! A must have app.

The Best Rhythm Trainer. I’m a professional musician and teacher and this is the best app I’ve seen for rhythm reading. It would honestly still be worth buying at 5 times the cost but it is a no brainer at the current price.

Fantastic Sight Reading App!!!. This app is amazing for working on sight reading! I use it to practice and to teach private lessons. It has a very intuitive user interface and is an extremely effective tool for improving your sight reading chops. I highly recommend it for all music teachers and music students.

Highly Customizable & Useful. This app is great for improving your rhythmic accuracy. The settings allow you to tweak basically every aspect of the app so you can use it however you want. Also, the random exercises are extensive and great for practicing sight-reading. Plus, I emailed the dev with a request for the app and they responded the same day and rolled out an update 3 days later. Incredible!

Read the instructions !. This is a great app for learning IF you read the instructions. If you don’t, you will hate it. The developers would benefit from one of those quick 5-screen intros when you open the app. Otherwise I love this tool for teaching me to count music and KNOW if I’m right or not. So hard to do while playing my violin on my own.

Nice intro to the world of rhythm. Having played guitar for myself for several decades, I found my sense of timing to be too loose to record songs that require rhythmic structure. I found this app to be very helpful in learning some fundamental aspects of rhythm that I have been able to carry over into my recording adventures. Advance exercise modes provide serious multi-tasking challenges far beyond basic "when do I play the note" timing. You can change hands for tapping (you might be surprised at the accuracy differences!), play note duration, and tap beats with one pad while tapping the notes on the other, just to name the ones I use, there are others... good stuff! 5 stars, not because the app is perfect (no way to 100% please everyone), but because it is clear that the developer really cares about trying to make it as useful as possible to a wide range of users -- based on a large majority of the reviews, mission accomplished. Good job, Rolf! Now about a customizable practice/exercise options list... :)

Love this!. Long time drummer working on my time. I have my iPad connected to a Yamaha DTX multi 12 with camera connection kit and it works great. I didn’t even have to dig into any settings, it just worked. This is an undiscovered gem. Thanks!

Very helpful. I played snare drum all through middle and high school. And that was *cough* years ago and I was good at reading music again but this app has helped me learn a lot of it all over again especially the notes that were always tricky. I like how there are multiple levels and modifications.

Very useful and easy to use. This app is great for learning rhythm and very well-thought-out. It's super simple to jump into an exercise; just open the app and you're ready to go. The exercises are highly varied but the description already tells you that. Another thing you can tell from the description is that it's packed with features and options. I found them all very useful. However, the app works fine without needing to fiddle with the options. Discover them at your own pace (that is, whenever you decide to peruse the menu). The best part of the app is that it's free and ad-free and still getting updates! Definitely try it out!

Pretty decent. Good app for rhythm practice....just be sure to read the instructions

Incredible Developer with an Incredible Product. Really an incredible app I have all of our new percussionist install the app for learning how to play in time. And when I find the app lacking certain obscure rhythms, I email the developer and he quickly responds with a screenshot of a prototype. It’s incredible and a must have app for any musician regardless of if they are a percussionist or not.

Fantastic. I've finally found a replacement for the old Tap Master Rhythm System by David L. Shrader. This is it!

this is an amazing app 😀. This is a really good app, it helps u with rhythm and beat and it’s great practice for when u are away from the piano

Old And New. It’s now 2022 and much has changed. I now have a new device and I have not been using this app. In fact, I had forgotten all about it. That is, until I happened to come across it while I was looking at my Rhyme-zone app. I might just try it out again, since I have just learned that it has been updated all along. I’m actually very surprised about that, but happy to see it. Previous Review (a long time ago): Helpful and fun to use. The little, round, white circle at the bottom is where to go to find out how it works - look under Support for details. I was confused about note values and how to play them on the piano keyboard. This app helps a lot and is user friendly. There are lots of settings, exercises and progress reports. I am enjoying it and I'm glad I purchased it. I am using this app with the iPad 2. Thanks so much for the app!

Kudos to the developer!. This is a wonderful and well thought-out app. I love the options provided for customization, and it has really helped me up my sight reading ability. A joy to work with!

Great Little App. Experienced musicians can see a rhythmically complex piece of music and just tap it out without much trouble before playing it. Me? I’m not in that group. I need to go over a piece many times before I can play it. I reduce the time I need between first seeing the music and finally playing the notes by practicing with Read Rhythm. I enter the notes into the editor and practice until the rhythm is familiar to me. I have a habit of being a little ahead of the beat in my playing, and can work on that in the app, since it tells you if you are ahead, on, or behind the beat. When I’m done working on a section, I email the results to my music teacher, so we can go over it in lesson. In all, this is a great app for perfecting your rhythm, either through random exercises or by creating your own. I should also add that I had a question at one point about the editor, and the developer answered me very promptly to tell me what I was doing wrong. Not many apps have that kind of service, and I was very glad for the help.

Perfect for me. I am 49 years old and went to music school. Decided to study jazz piano more seriously in my ‘old age’. I had never been great at reading so I am using computers to gain experience quickly. This app is perfect. I stuck it on random exercises and have not looked back. I am on level 6 of 4/4and feel so much better and confident about rhythms. It just keeps throwing new exercises at me and the beauty is I have it set so I have to sight read it 3 times correctly before it says I got it. This is exactly what I was looking for. You can start from the very basics like I did. I can’t think of a better or faster way to learn to read rhythms.

Good. I'm very satisfied with this app but it needs one desperate change. But first, this app is exactly how I would approach the subject matter, good job! 5 star quality. Sweet execution of tap button and nice feedback both aural and visual with red and green small dots. Tons of built in exercises and it gets hard with syncopation, and you can hold notes too. But one glaring problem is the visual metronome beeps when the arm swings at the outside peak. This is opposite from all analog mets that beep at center as well as digital mets with slider LED lights and beep at center. Not only am I programed to respond to the center style, I couldn't adjust to this as the "peak" is in two different spots and too much visual movement required and my judgement wasn't as sharp. This is especially important for this app because such precision is required for perfect scores (that's good). This app needs a stable center beep met. For now I turned off the swing motion in the settings and that's bad.

Well thought out and very helpful .... I've been working with this app for several weeks now and I find it very helpful. I knew my timing was poor. Now I know exactly how poor (quantitatively) and by practicing with this app I am improving my timing and ability to sight-read rhythm. Just about everything you would want to tweak is included. One thing I would like to see added is the ability to keep track of several players. A little competition can help with the motivation to keep practicing. Thanks for a beautiful and useful app!

Love this app!. I love this app. I suggest it for all my piano students. I use it to practice rhythms for myself too. I love that you can use challenge mode to increase tempos. Just one suggestion. Make the tapping pad a little bigger. Sometimes I’d like to use two fingers, and it’s almost impossible because of the size if the pad.

And Free. This thing is the latest miracle in my life. Never progressed far enough in my formal training to get good at reading, always felt like math class. Suddenly I’m in a JC concert band and in deep trouble. This is going to save me. The ability to edit your own rhythms allows to create those 2 measures that eluding you and repeat them until you hear them in your dreams. Thanks so much to developers of this amazing tool!

Must-buy for sight singers. First off, I would just like to thank the developer for putting so much time and care into this app. It is truly refreshing to see an app of this high quality specifically tailored to my needs. That being said, there are a couple of updates that would truly make this perfect. The most important thing, in my opinion, would be to have a side-scrolling feature that would imitate real-life sight-reading, implementing the use of the 'random' mode generator. Perhaps with the ability to choose from preset difficulties and/or combining modes (eighth notes, sixteenth note triplets, etc) Secondly would be the ability to randomly generate levels with odd-time signatures (5/4, 7/4, etc.)! Surely it would require minimal time for a huge improvement. I'll leave a five-star rating in spite of these minor shortcomings (although I hope the developer will still take my suggestions into consideration), because the app is truly worth it as is. Including these updates, however would be the icing on the cake for this fantastic app. Thanks again for your effort in making this!

Great potential but…. The MIDI support is unreliable and the user interface borders on unusable.

Amazing app. Very important teaching tool. Also I had an issue and the developer was very prompt with helping me out. Great app!

Fast fix! 32 bit compatibility restored!!. Great app! Builds skills quickly. Logical GUI. Easy to configure custom exercises.

The best!. This is seriously the BEST rhythm app out there. Can't wait to see what new exercises/rhythms come in the future

I LOVE this app/ make examples longer. I absolutely LOVE this app and I use it every single day. I love that I can do everything in swing, and that it helps me with 5/4 and 7/4 and that it gives me precise feedback. One thing I would really appreciate is longer examples. I use it in random mode, and on my iPhone 6 I feel that you could definitely include another line of rhythm, doubling the example. But I wouldn't want a continuous example that went in forever, because I like reading different time signatures. But longer examples would be nice. Ideally, I would like 16 bar examples, but I don't know if that is really possible. Anyway, this app is seriously incredible and I would encourage anyone who values the skill of rhythm to download it. Thank you so much for this great app. :)

Great app!. I've practiced a lot with this app increased my sight reading ability noticably. I love it. i ask my students to buy it. Two suggestions: i bet the iphone version could fit two measures on screen in landscape format. I feel the ipad version works significantly better because it shows two measures. And more importantly, i've spent years training myself to not sweat it when i make a mistake. In the new version there is now a little exclamtion point that pops up at the tiniest mistake. I not only find this very annoying, but i feel it's condusive to a bad musical habit, which is to flip out and want to start over when making a mistake. I very much would like to not see these alerts. And I really dont want my students thinking that they should start over every time they mess up. Please give us the option to turn it off.

Fantastic well thought out app. I am actually learning how to stay on beat (not ahead or behind!) and read rhythm thanks to this app. These were both major goals for me as a relatively new bass player. Thank you to the developer for all the time you’ve clearly put into this app. There are incredibly extensive exercises in every time signature imaginable. I love being able to quickly adjust metronome setting and choose between being tested or just practicing, both of which offer different supporting sounds. Visual feedback is superb. I like that I can stay at any level of challenge for as long as I want. I highly recommend this app!

Great App. This reminds me of Tap Master in college. Really challenges you to be accurate.

I’m a beginner and.... I’m just a beginner and this app has already helped me with sight reading rhythm. It’s pretty much exactly what I wanted for this kind of app. Besides that, the developer updated the app to fix an issue I was having, so I’d say it has great tech support!

I use this app often!. I’ve been using this app to practice different saved rhythms for more than a year now. I’ll use it before a gig to tighten up my feel, and it really does make a difference to use this app as a warm up. Often, I’ll go through different rhythms and continue to test until I perfect it. This has made a dramatic improvement on my sense of timing and rhythm while playing!

Best app for learning rhythm. This is the best app for learning to read rhythm. Learning to read rhythm will help all musicians in their site reading skills.

Just What I Need. I’ve had this less than 5 minutes. It’s perfect. I haven’t read music in a very long time. I want to practice. Now I can. I want to compose in complex time signatures. I can feel what I want to write but have trouble finding the right time signature. I’ve had to use noteflight by trial and error. Did I mention this is just what I wanted?

Exceptional. You can benefit from this trainer in a day, but you can work on it for years and still get dividends. Thoughtfully assembled. Endlessly varied. There are so many options for unique challenges, you can start the massive book a second or third time with a different focus, and benefit all over again. Frequently updated and improved. Once I had a glitch with a new phone, the developer found a way to fix my problem in a day. Love this app!

Fun and useful app. I had an earlier 2012 version of this app for iPod touch. I'm using the 2016 version on the iPhone 6s now....although the touch latency is improved on the iphone6s compared to the 2012 iPod touch, there is still a noticeable amount of delay. You have to adjust accordingly. Maybe as technology continues to improve future versions will not be affected as much. Another major issue I have with this app is the durational aspect of rhythm is completely ignored in this app. For example: a quarter note and an eighth note followed by an eighth rest would have the exact same user input according to this app but if played by an instrument like a guitar or a horn, they would be treated entirely differently. The quarter note will sound twice as long.

Wow. I have tried many music apps in all forms. I began teaching myself piano almost a year ago, though I learned the staff pretty quickly and the common knowledge of the keys, I have struggled with the rhythm and beat. This app is INCREDIBLE, after I post this, I am going to look for a donation spot. It will be the first time I have ever given money to developers, and my reviews on google have thousands, tens of thousands of reviews. This app has SO MANY features. It took me two days to realize there was such a large menu if you click the tiny i in the bottom left corner (iPad pro) and even without me knowing of all the other options it still held my attention and even became a personal mission to pass the rhythms. Its super hard, for me. Practice. Practice. Practice. The TAPPING option is insanely hard for me. Thats exciting though. Some thing I 100 percent can not do, yet.. so it gives me something to work on! Thanks y'all. You did a fantastic job on this app! Please update whenever you add something new! TYA Tara D. Super Fan!

Adult learner, Love it. I started reading music in my 50s, and rhythm was my biggest struggle. Here are some reasons for my 5-star review: 1. Intuitive interface: Easy to figure out, even if you’re a techno-dumdum. 2. Customizable: You can practice what you want and hear sounds you find pleasant. 3. Reinforcing: Easily understood color feedback and small (not irritatingly long) celebration for accuracy. 4. One-time purchase! (Not a bleed you to death subscription.) Thanks for making this great app!

Could do with a few new features.... Like the ability to tap 2 different rhythms at once... help co-ordinate polyrhythms A nicer layout for creating custom rhythms. Having a Sibelius type layout of choosing note lengths would be easier than the current system. Being able to fully create a custom rhythm with out having to modify the previous one. Would give teachers a lot of flexibility. This means giving you a blank Stave, choosing the time signature and then creating a custom rhythm.

Rhythm Trainer. I would happily use this app with my music students, however not all the rhythms are written correctly. Some groupings of quavers and note stems are incorrect. If you fix these things, I will use it in my classes and increase my rating to 5/5.

Great. Overall, a great app that works well. One minor issue is that the note duration sound setting doesn't change, it always stays stuck on the bass sound even if another is chosen.

Great app!. Really enjoyable, has improved my sight reading a lot.

Splendid design. Works perfectly. Highly recommended for all musicians.

Excellent rhythm trainer. This is a very good app for music students. I would like to see an update that included 2 bar rhythms in landscape mode. 5 stars anyway!

Great app. Amazing app that actually helps you improve your sight reading. Highly recommend! One feature request: ability to create rhythm exercises with notes distinguished as up strums or down strums for muted guitar practice. Huge potential!

Sew. Just does practice and does not stop

Fantastic app. This is a great app to help improve music skills and I have had it for a long time. I would recommend this to anyone looking to improve their sight reading of rhythms.

Just no. No

Superb. If I spent as much time using this app as the developer spends improving and refining it I would be a world class drummer by now. As it is my sight reading has improved enormously. This app is just superb. Very low latency (imperceptible to me), very flexible, comprehensive and easy to use. Out of the hundreds of apps I have It is the most regularly updated, improved and expanded app. Great for beginner to advanced. I wish I'd had a tool like this when I was learning music as a kid.

Ansis. The people that made this app has done a most excellent and thorough job.... A must have app for any muso of any level... Would love to see a flamenco rhythm update....

Nixar review. Hey this app is very good I play drums and my drum teacher showed me it and he said I should get it I got it and it has helped me a lot in my drumming I would recommend it to people who like music and are learning an instrument.

Very nice app. I like this application, it makes r.s. fun and intuitive. however there are few mistakes every now and then! please fix those mistakes as they spoil a very good app for music student. thanks

Ok. Works well except when i push the "i" button for info(crashes the app).. No idea how to set random mode

Fantastic. Amazing for any musician

Best way to practice rhythm. This app has so many features that make it an incredibly valuable practice/learning tool for musicians at all levels. I've had this app for a long time and I'm so impressed with the updates that keep coming. I use it nearly every day for teaching and practicing

Excellent. Brilliant concept. Exactly what I had been looking for. This version now with mic sensitivity allows use of iRig guitar interface as well.

!. Just wanted to thank the developers for the incredible detail they have put in to this app (and seemingly continue to do so with the recent update). I think this app shines in the way you are able to customise nearly every variable to increase or decrease difficulty. I also enjoy the 'random exercise', with a perpetual stream of original rhythms. As a student studying music at a tertiary level this app has really aided me in my development of reading complex rhythms and as a teacher to young musicians I have seen improvements after recommending this app. Thanks guys!

Phenomenal, fanastic!. Very well thought out app! Awesome improver of my reading and timing.

Very good app. A cheap price for something so diverse. It includes a whole array of functions and is updated regularly. I recommend it greatly.

Get it. It's great.. If you want to learn to read rhythm, this is the best I have found. Training mode plays along with you, test mode just gives you a metronome. Get it.

Very helpful!. This app is one that I have found very helpful!!! - do you struggle with timing? Or just want to improve your skills? This has helped me a lot In my own timing problems...well worth the $3! Hope it helps you as I has me. Enjoy!

Great app. After playing for 5 minutes, I know it contains lots of features and it is a great app for rhythm improvement

Great!. An invaluable practice utility for both myself and my students. A word of advice for guitarists: use a finger with fewer callouses or you’ll get very frustrated when hits aren’t detected 😅

"Must Buy App!". Wow! What a difference this app has meant to my piano playing! Congratulations on an outstanding app!

Best rhythm app ever. This is the best rhythm app I have ever seen so far. Doing this for 15 min a day will help anybody with their rhythm and time keeping.

A must get app .... Amazing!!. This is one of the most useful and professional music app in the app store , if u wanna learn all sorts of rythims and practice it easily throught the whole day , this is ur app :D

Excellent. Does what it says nicely.

Great for practising sight reading. Have been using this app for 1+ year and it is still regularely updated. Worth every penny to my opinion !

Least lag or no lag. You won't find a better rhythm accuracy trainer than this (probably). Plus the red/green circles at the end of each exercise are an amazing indicator of where you tend to play the beat. Totally worth $3. Don't be ridiculous about the price. The only thing I'd like more of is easy/basic rhythm (quarter/half/dotted half/whole notes). I have a lot of beginner piano students who should use this but there's not much for beginners. (That said, it had a lot of great intermediate and advanced rhythms!)

Excellent !. Very nicely designed app to work on rhythm reading. Simple to get started with, and widely customizable in arranging your own challenge levels. The big plus is that it's simply great fun to use. Highly recommended for anyone looking to increase their rhythm reading skills.

Tapping Away. This app is actually quite helpful and I'm relearning my reading skills in a fun fast way. Finally a game that's not just a waste of time ... Pardon the pun. Actually gets quite hard but I like the challenges. Wish they'd upgrade with more notes next

Awesome.. Very great way to practice rhythm counting anywhere. All the features are fantastic love this app. With the next update could you add a way to input your own rhythm and it would show you how to play it.

This is a must have App. This is a must have App if you want to get your Rhythm and Sight Reading Chops together.

Nice. This has helped me develop my Slap-Guitar technique :)

Incredible. If you want to learn or practice reading rhythm notation, then buy this. Good interface, lots of options ,

Please let us make our own rhythm. There is an option to modify a rhythm, but is hard to create your own by modifying a rhythm, please make an option that we can create our own rhythm Thanks

Would give 5 stars but. There seems to be no way to disable the little light that follows the beat under the notes. It would make for more realistic and better training. Please add this feature.

Awesome. Love this app! I'm a music student and I find it very helpful.

Good for self training.. I like your App, but please make bigger tapping spot. Too often miss tapping with two fingers alternately. Please add an option to change the size of tapping spot.

Lags like crazy...wait, my fault. No it doesn’t. I just now updated the app and it’s been rendered completely useless. Oops, blue tooth head phones. Never mind , great app

Must have app. practice any place any time. Great music app!

Awesome 10 stars!. You guys ROCK! Thanks for the app.

Useful. Good app. If the latency issues were fixed I would definitely recommend it to my students. It's frustrating to hear your taps even a split second late. This could be an incredible tool with a few tweaks. I hope you continue to improve it. Although it's not perfect yet, I find it a very entertaining and useful.

A must for every musician. If you want to improve your rythm skills Get this app. $3 well invested.

Very impressed. This is a great rhythmic sight-reading trainer. It does everything you want it to do but is simple enough to use immediately. It is possible to progress slowly or quickly in difficulty depending on one's needs. Customization is possible but defaults are well thought out. An excellent tool for the student or amateur musician.

Great app in active development. This app has all the features I thought I wanted and more. It's been rock stable so far and the stats really drive the gamer in me to turn in tighter and tighter timings. This makes rhythm practice an addiction, rather than a chore. Continuously updated and more than worth the money.

This is no toy!. Many a pro musician who thinks he/she already has good time will have his/her eyes opened by this app. An unbelievably versatile, flexible and thorough tool. Rolf has thought of everything and then some. Hundreds of serious exercises with degree of difficulty selectable down to 1/100th of a second. An amazing value.

Best there is!. This app is just great. Perfect from anybody from beginner to advanced levels. My rhythm reading has improved so much without me even noticing it and it's all because of this app. The icing on the cake are the updates. With every update there's always a very useful feature. I'm looking forward to download more apps from this company.

Great App!. The amount of features in this app are what makes it so great. Everything works the way it should with perfected accuracy. The only two requests I have are the same as previous reviewer. Please add a scrolling mode for the random exercises so as to practice sight reading more continuously and more exotic timings. Thanks!

Great alternative to Candy Crush. I recommend this trainer to all my musician friends and students. It is good to have a couple of the basics under your belt before you start, but even if you are a near beginner--the adjustable settings are great. The visual feedback after a quiz isn't too picky in my opinion. Are you always a little too late on an anticipation in the app? Could be on the bandstand too... This is a top-ten music app on my devices.

ReadRhythm. Good app! I like the accuracy it demands. One complaint I have is the notation. Rhythms are written with ties when there should be dots. Ties are for connecting notes on different beats. Beams group notes together that are on the same beat. This means there is never a time that you should tie under a beam. While there may be some value in learning to read music that isn't written properly, it should be the exception and not the rule.

AWESOME. This is INCREDIBLE. Best app for practicing rhythm and improving inner pulse. It needs to be more difficult to get 100%. While you can tell how close you are, you should really be at like .25 deviation at least to qualify for 100%. I don't want my students to think they are correct when they are really rushing or dragging quite a bit.

Great for advanced students, too. I wish i had this when i was studying music in college. We had only books then. The exercises make practicing fun. My only critique is that you have to dig around in the settings to find all the great features.

Great App!. I use this app with my band and orchestra students on a regular basis. It has greatly improved their sight-reading skills. However, I would love to see a level that adds sixteenth notes without adding the triplets. Adding both at once is a big jump for the students. Again, this is a great app and well worth the money for anyone who wants to improve their music reading!

Perfect for me. I was looking for an app to help me improve my musical rhythm on the bass guitar. Since I finger and slap my bass guitar, I can use my finger tips and the side of my thumb to tap the screen and track with the rhythm shown on the screen. The colored dots indicate my accuracy. Exactly what I wanted to know. The practice and test modes are an extra bonus. Plus there are way more patterns and variations than I need right now. Clearly I have a lot to learn and this little app can help me learn it. I'm very excited. :)

Absolutely INCREDIBLE!. I can't say enough good things about this app! It's perfect for anyone who wants to learn to read (rhythm) music. You can play along by tapping on the screen, or you can use the microphone setting and drum along on a practice pad if you have one. The timing is very accurate, and you can email your results to yourself or a teacher. It would be worth it at 10 times the price. Seriously.

Great for teaching. I downloaded this app to teach rhythm to my younger students and have had good results. I love the random rhythm generator and the simplicity of the design. The harder levels even trip up advanced musicians. I have also been impressed with the level of support. They have been fixing bugs I didn't even know annoyed me until after the update.

Great!. I like this app a lot. I think the placement of the test/practice buttons is odd and confusing but the app functions very accurately. I'd love to see some other options such as two line rhythms and the ability to hide the old school metronome. Other than those things I really like this app.

Excellent!. This is such a great learning / training tool. And. . . It's BIG FUN! (addictive) I have three suggestions: I'll use 3/4 time in my examples. 1.) the start of each exercise should go: 1,2,3; and NOT 3,2,1!! Musicians always count-off a 3/4 time song by saying: 1,2,3. 2.) A two bar count-off would be a great option. The student could select to have the exercise begin after 1,2,3,1,2,3. Two bar count-offs are often used to better establish tempo, especially in a recording studio. I'm going way out on my last request! 3.) Regarding the TWO TAP BUTTONS OPTION: I'm an String Bassist. Could you put the two tap buttons next to each other so I could tap along with the first two fingers of my plucking hand? Let me say once again, EXCELLENT!

Useful and used in my teaching. A quick and to the point rhythm drilling app. The options panel could use more graphics to make a quick scan for the type of rhythm you are looking for easier. I am not sure, but perhaps I would prefer an option to build my own class of rhythm exercises rather than choose from the predefined and lengthy set of options. Nevertheless, I haven't found anything else as complete as this, and I have taken to using it in my teaching.

Well worth the $3.. It takes just a few minutes to figure out, but it is fun to try and master easy and difficult notated rhythms. Both my Suzuki strings daughters are using this app and think it is challenging and fun. I will recommend it to other students as well. A rare educational app that doesn't get too easy too fast.

One of the best music ed apps, if not the best. I've been using this app since it was fairly new. It was always great but it keeps getting better. I use it with all of my students, and I recommend purchasing it to each of them with access to an ipad/ipod touch/iphone. It's fun, challenging, and addictive. I love level 0 which is perfect for the beginners. Based on the frequent updates and improvements, it is clear the developer truly cares about the app. If you are looking to improve your sight reading skills regardless of where you are at now, this app is for you. Beginner to Advanced.

Fantastic. Exactly what I wanted for my elementary music students. The ability to limit the types of notes used for the tests is essential for beginning students, and the ear training (hiding the notes so the students must figure out the rhythm for themselves) is a great extension. I use it to improve my accuracy as well! The extensive menus let you tinker and adjust to exactly what you want (to an almost unnecessary degree). At the very least, it is very handy as a random rhythm-generator when I need one for a demonstration! Every music teacher should have this app.

Great in Music Classroom. I teach middle school band and general music - I bought this app specifically for a group of percussionists who had trouble with rhythms. It quickly caught on and I use it in every single one of my groups. The app has literally every skill level you will ever need through college level. I make it a “competition” in my classes to see who gets to the highest level (have to get 100% to move on). Great for random articulation warmups in band when using Smartboard projector. Fantastically engaging for all ages. Best music app I’ve bought so far - honestly.

Must Have. I started off late in life picking up the guitar. So with the approach of needing to make up for lost time, I've gotten some quality education and instruction, even a Master Certificate to hang on my wall!!! I've amassed quite the library of books and tools. If it's no good, in the closet and then off to Craigslist it goes. This app is just simply essential. Great interface. Well done!

Wonderful for rhythm training. This is a well-designed app for practicing rhythm by tapping and getting immediate feedback. There is a large variety of practice rhythms. I personally struggle with not holding longer notes long enough and with not staying perfectly with the metronome. I'm working with the app 5 minutes/day, and it is improving my rhythm skills. Thank you.

What it does it does well. Doesn't do a ton... Just gives you exercises and provides immediate feedback as to how you did. However, if you're dedicated, and you work with this, it can really improve your reading ability. It would be nice If the exercises were broken up in to categories, or there were some way to choose how you were approaching various trouble areas... Maybe in an update? For $2.99 this is a very good app.

Great app - must have for beginning musicians. This is an excellent tool for learning to keep time with the beat. As a beginner, this is an area I have struggled with. After a few days I can see an improvement in my time keeping ability. It is very nice to be able to practice just a few minutes during those downtime moments. The mic option is nice to let you get more physically into the beat (clapping etc). Only thing I would add would be a way to enter a couple of measures manually so that you could practice a difficult passage.

Great for a beginner. I want to be better at playing my guitar and this app is amazing for building rhythm. I downloaded it less than 24 hours and gone from having no experience or understanding of rhythm to feeling I already have a built a foundation that I can continue to progress forward on.

Wonderful app for the music classroom!. I use this app on an iPad for my middle school band students. I like how the app gives you the ability to email a result after you earn a 100% score. When my students complete a level, they email their result to me an their online portfolio website. My students enjoy it, and I like how it gives my students immediate feedback on their progress. This app is now part of my regular curriculum.

Excellent Practice Tool!. I've been working with this app now for over a year and my time, rhythm, and reading has greatly improved. I've recommended this to several other musicians of all skill levels who need to improve in these areas. I usually set it to endurance and expert modes with two-handed tapping to work on specific levels of difficulty. My only request is to have more control over tempos for endurance and expert modes so I can gradually move to much higher tempos and difficulty within the same level of exercises.

IF you want to improve your rhythm, just GET this app!. This is fun little game, that can be addicting at times, while improving your timing against the metronome. This app is definitely helping me with my reading and timing of rests and held notes. This really beats paying for expensive software that costs way more than this surprisingly inexpensive app. Instead of paying someone to train you or buying a book to learn, how about having fun playing the game while achieving the former. So what are you waiting for? get it!!!

Very well designed app. This app fills a huge void in the iTunes store when it comes to music notation reading and writing apps. I am a band director who will stop at nothing to get my students to sight read better. I will be encouraging all of my students to purchase this app as soon as possible.

very good i just have one thing. this is a very useful app for me. the only thing i suggest for an update would be a display option to take away the counts at the bottom of the music score. I feel like I sometimes rely on it too much. it could provide as an extra challenge as well

Helpful app. Great app, very helpful and precise and makes learning fun even for an adult. I just wish it has the option to tap a treble and a bass clef at the same time, since that what my piano teacher makes me do and what many of my piano teaching books have me do (and it's a much closer approximation of what you actually have to do at the piano!) Other than that, great work.

Terrific. You'll need a basic knowledge of musical notation to use It, but this app is great. The interface and structure are clear and pleasant, and the lessons build upon each other very well. I've really improved after a couple of months use - and have a long (long) way to go with it.

Instant learning in two days!. This fixed in two days what I failed to do in 30 years of playing by ear. Granted, I used ALL my spare time for two days, but by the third day I WAS READING MUSIC!!! This should be a mandatory app for every beginning musician. Now if we can get this to work on left and right hand for piano, I will be reading with the BIG BOYS. Thanks!

Excellent for rhythm reading practice!. The interface isn't pretty and the menus are a little difficult to wade through, but in the end this app is FANTASTIC for reading rhythms. I've only tried it with the on screen tapping. I can't wait to start using this with my students!!

Be surprised!. This app delivers. Do these exercises and yourrhythmic vocabulary will improve. It lets you visually see if you are coming in late or early on beats. It is like bio feedback which you can adjust too. Zone in and see what your ingrained habits are! I'm a music teacher (25 years) this app was a surpisingly useful and effective tool. I'd be comfortable suggesting it to my students who know how to read basic notes but need to sharpen and spice up their timing. Go ahead. Be surprised

Excellent - just needs more intermediate levels. I've tried several apps for this purpose and this is by far the best: Unlike others, it allows user setting of just about EVERYTHING: metronome sound metronome speed user drum sound, whether or not to hear or see correct rhythm demonstrated required accuracy to be scored as "correct"). Also unlike many other apps it allows user to access exercises at ALL levels at any time (no need to do them in order). My only complaint is that a single level introduces several new elements at once. For instance, you apparently can't get an exercise using eighth rests without ALSO using ties. The developers should address this by adding exercises so that only one new element appears at a time. (Even better, they could provide a method for users to enter their own exercises.) BOTTOM LINE: Very stable, flexible app with good sound quality; only problem is that elements are not introduced gradually enough.

Pretty, easy, helpful- from the get go. I love how it looks. I figured it out right away how to get started practicing my rhythm for piano playing. There are advanced settings if you want them but I liked that I could jump right in and start practicing. And can't emphasize how much I like the clean and beautiful interface.

Excellent!. I have needed something like this for years! An invaluable tool for a musician who struggles with reading music. After all, reading the notes is only HALF the battle. So nice to have something that can give me feedback on my rhythm/timing. Very well thought out!

I needed this. I have played guitar by ear for years. In just a few minutes I was able to start to understand the basics of tapping out simple notation. I never have been able to read a lead sheet because I couldn't count out the measures. This is well done for us that have found music notation a foreign language. Well done!!

Exactly what I was looking for. I am an intermediate level drummer and I had not yet focused attention on reading charts. I was wanting to find an app that I could use to tap out beats so I could learn to read while off the kit, and later take that coordination back to the kit. It's been working quite well. It's fun and very simple to learn and use. I've already seen progress within just a few days. Thanks for creating just the tool I needed

Absolutely amazing!!!!. Not sure where to begin. This app is so simple yet so difficult. If you have an issue with your timing this app will correct it. If you need to learn new rhythms this app will guide you. This app will point out your problem areas and give you the tools to make them right. Must have for any drummer and bass player.

good for beginning singers. I love this app. I find I can navigate intuitively. The exercises are thoughtfully created in terms of their increasing difficulty. I think that it has nicely gamified learning to sight read rhythm. I use this app because I am trying to learn to sing in a choir. Without a good sense of timing you don't know when to breath, so reading rhythm is even more fundamental than pitch. Finally, the designer was responsive when I pointed out a possible glitch to the design. Worth your time.

My favorite app! What about 3/8 measure?. I would like to see 3/8 measure exercises also. This measure is often found in barocco music. And for the future it would be nice to be able manually put your own rhythmical passage in the application, note by note, and than listen, how it sounds and than practice it to death!

So good. Ok, I've never wrote a review of my own initiative. If an app is good, MAYBE I'll write a review if the reminder prompt comes up. With this app, though, I actually wanted to go out of my way to write a positive review. Very well thought through content from simple to challenging. Easy to practice rhythm and sight reading anywhere. Just a very smart little app.

Old trumpet player. I have always struggled with sight reading. I think this program will be a tremendous help. I have already told a number of my musician friends about the program. It would be really cool if one could photograph a difficult rhythm with the phone, designate a time signature and the app then sound out the rhythm! This app is going to be well worth the cost to me!

Needs more gradual exercises. Running through the basic lesson sequence it seems to ramp things up very quickly. Needs a gentler, more gradual lesson curve. It's basically like, "Ok, you got this *one* concept, let's move on to the next new figure." I'd like more practice than one or two lessons per reading figure so I can feel comfortable before moving on.

Definitely Satisfied with this App!!. I'm almost proud, so to speak, of this app and of myself having found it; it has been a wonderfully fun and effective program . Versatile and thorough! This app is a great fun little workout for musicians learning to sightread more accurately, polish your sense of pulse in a particular meter, or just challenge yourself and your friends to greater precision and shrink that deviation factor in your playing! As a pianist, my flexibility with sightreading rhythms is a key factor in my success. While not a one-stop toolbox for great musicianship in regards to rhythm, it has made itself indispensable on my iPad.

Perfect practical practice. I'm a choir teacher and use this myself to keep my skills sharp! This is one of the best apps I have ever used thus far! The rhythm practice has many options to customize, looks nice and does exactly what is promised on the description. It works very well. $2.99 isn't bad for what you get here. I see other guitar apps by this company, not really my thing, but I'd buy other "sight-singing" apps (hint, hint) if you made them. Bravo for an A+, five star product!

Good app, good support. The app is super configurable and has a lot of practice options. I accidentally had a setting wrong and the endurance exercises kept resetting to 80 bpm. I emailed support and the told me, nicely, to check the metronome setting to make sure it was manual. That fixed it! Great app for anyone interested in improving in rhythm.

Great Job!. The app is consistently updated and offers a versatile user-friendly GUI that allows you to fully utilize it's awesome capabilities. This is one of those applications that I will never delete. It has helped my rhythm for guitar and drums immensely. I would recommend this to any beginner or advanced professional looking to sharpening their skills.

Wonderful opportunity to improve sight reading skills. I love this app, and try to use it just a few minutes every day. I'm thrilled with the huge number of time signatures, rhythms and love getting feedback on timing accuracy. It's a great buy for any musician: student, hobbyist or professional.
