Great app but still room for improvement

I absolutely love this app and so do my piano students. It’s fun and very educational.

The only improvement I would ask for would be the ability to add bars rather than just taking them away.

If I have a student who is struggling with the rhythms in a four bar phrase of 4/4, I’d like to be able to input the rhythm into the app. As of yet, I haven’t managed to find a single exercise on the app that has four bars of 4/4.

Developer Response ,

UPDATE 21feb19: version 9.81 now has an Add bar button in the editor.

Very useful. Could be given a modern makeover.

This is a useful app with very useful features for practising rhythm. For musicians of any instrument. It'd be great if it was slicker to use. The developer was on hand to answer a query v promptly.

Spot On - Great App

I was slowing my piano playing progress by having poor rhythm skills, or less than fluid recognition. Love this app worth every penny of the low price. A lot of features. Even if you think you are good with rhythm this App will help spot areas for refinement.
