Ratings and reviews

Team, thanks for the nice and useful app! I need your help with rhythm training: my clapping (tapping) is always recored as delayed by approximately half a beat, maybe less. I'm sure I'm clapping correctly. Initially the app mistakenly detected that I was clapping prematurely. Then I tried adjusting the "Input delay" setting from 30 ms to 20ms. After that this delay appeared and it doesn't change regardless of "Input delay" adjustments. I've reset the app, but the delay is still there.

Don't say your app is free when it's not. The downloaded app lets us look at a course outline, a list of material you have to pay for. Your deception right off the top crashes consumer trust in buying your product. Give us at least some free material or put in ads, but don't start with a lie.

For whatever reason, it keeps exiting to the homescreen; even when I am not touching my phone. This happens at least once per minute. I can reopen the app and resume but this is very annoying. Newest Android update didn't fix this either. There are no apps running in the background, my device has over 2GB of storage space left. This doesn't happen to any other application on my phone. Update: Upon reinstall, now login screen doesn't work either: keyboard doesn't appear. App rendered useless.
