    Are you still supporting this app? The app page says you haven't updated the app in 8 years. Would be great if it was freshened up.
  • Works for me!

    i'm an older player, music school graduate, and continual learner. I've preferred this over other drumbeat apps since I first got it. The basis of every good guitar player is strong rhythm. Use this, and i can guarantee that your time will be excellent. I use it Every Single Practice session. Drummers like to work with me, knowing that my time and fell will be on the money.
  • Perfect practice app

    Have it on my Mac and phone. Works great.
  • Nice - but needs to have slower practice tempos

    Nice! Much more fun to play with drum loops for groove. However, limited bpm range reduces the app's utility. Need slower than 60 bpm for practicing tricky passages and locking in the basics. Also, some of the jazz rhythms (for example Swing Brushes) are in double time. It would add utility to keep bpms on quarter notes rather than switching to half notes for some rhythms -- that would mean also expanding upper range of bmp. That said, it is understandable that finding a 'valid' tempo range for all styles is challenging.
  • works ok

  • Tempo issue

    I first purchased this app on my phone, but could not get the volume loud enough. I decided to purchase same app for my mac and found that the tempo can only be set in increments of 5BPM. Ponm the iphone I was adble to set to 1BPM increments. Totally unhelpful and a waste of money to have a computer app that differs from the iphone on a primay and critical feature such as the tempo!
  • Luv this app

    been using this app for a number of years…. just great…. I wish developers would modify app to enable it to get up to 240-250 BPM..
  • Starts when I open the mac.

    the tempo at 60 bpm is way too fast for beginning sight readers and beginning music students. can you please adjust this in the next upgrade?
  • I like it but would like to be able to get more beats for it?

    I do like it as it is easy to use for playing to. But I would like to be able to update it with more beats and i see no way to add more in buying more to add to it. Would like more rock beats. But over all it is very usefull. I am using it on my Mac Mini M1 with no problem.
