Music Rhythm Trainer 4+

I’ve had this app for a couple of years and there is never a moment it doesn’t get updated even for small things like bugs. The Devs work hard to make learning fun and enjoyable. I really appreciate that. Learning rhythm is hard and I struggled with it for years. This game takes away all the overthinking I do and teaches me starting from square one. The Devs are constantly adding fun little things that are game changers in my book, like the two hands game they just added. Very humbling. The only thing that I can possibly add to more is if they added a program where the metronome counted the rhythm that we press, exclusively and not just on the quarter notes. I think hearing someone count it out for them will definitely help. They had it in the beginning but took it out. I guess people were complaining. Also another good function would be some kind like reward system, where if we get enough points for perfect games, we could customize the app colors or something. Just throwing that out there. Other than that I love this app. I honestly play this whenever I get bored anywhere or anything. Keep up the good work Devs.

As a music student who struggles with reading was looking for an app to practice every day. Of course there are websites like Teoria and Tonedear that is free, but wanted an application. I really like this application and use it for 10 minutes a day. The sight reading is great. Things that I wish this application had. 1. Concept of key signatures (e.g. Tapping rhythms in X/8 timing), the ability to clap in rhythms, one time purchase. I would love to support the application but $5/month is on the pricey side. Would rather do a one time purchase. The developer of this application is very active and seems to respond to inquiries. Great individual! All in all I gave it 5 stars because it does what it says it will do and the sight reading part of the application is unique compared to the other applications that I experimented with. Alas I am stuck with 10 minutes a day until a perpetual license becomes a reality.

I am studying to be a music teacher right now and play a wind instrument. Downloaded it to see how useful it could be for teaching. For beginners it starts having you read rhythms with no verbal explanation of what to do and very quickly you must automatically know to repeat it back without being told to. An annoying voice is counting the rhythms and you must repeat rhythms you get wrong over and over.
Then I tried the placement test which assessed my rhythmic skills well and gave me some challenging ones I wasn’t used to. I then realized that the only way to use this app is tapping your finger and I was thinking, “How well can this really apply to instrument playing or singing? Maybe it could be good for percussion players but no one plays with just one finger.” People play music in different ways, so they should practice rhythms in different ways to get better.
TL;DR
This app is not a good tool for learning music, there’s no variety to it, but may be a way to pass the time if you don’t mind the monotony or the robot voice.
