Ratings and reviews

Absolutely phenomenal West African Percussion app! I will hold fredback for now. I have spent a couple of hours in the app and so far the prevailing feeling is simply that I am blown away by what this offers, particularly over alternatives. I can see this useful for a practicing drummer, a dance instructor who does not have access to a live band, or just someone who wants to have fun making music on an app! Merci merci

Downloaded an hour ago... I literally feel like it's my birthday! First time ever leaving a rating and review for an app! Yes! It is this good... This app is gold for any djembefola. Those practice exercises are outstanding and that swing adjustments makes it a one of kind app! THANK YOU for making it free. From an ex graphic designer point of view, my only constructive advice would be to try an easier to read san serif font for the app. But it's not a big deal really. Keep up the good work!

I like it very much. But I can't seem to find the saved audio. I wish there were a few more intuitive features: record button, save button, undo button (last addition), and a reset button.
