1. 3/5Not the best

   I love the idea of this app and how innovative it is. It would get 2 stars if cymbals didn’t work or if it wasn’t innovative. This game tends to have many bugs and is overall unfinished. For the tenor drums, they work decently fine, just a little slow. I’d also advise you turn off rims for the tenors. Snare is kind of all over the place. Sometimes it doesn’t respond to hits and when you do tap it in a certain place it usually picks it up as a different hit. The chops mode does work though, just a bit slow. The basses probably work best apart from cymbals. They again don’t really cooperate and the tuning is kind of out of wack. There is an option to play just one individual bass which works quite well. I again, advise you to turn off rims for basses. Cymbals respond perfectly and are pretty fun if you ask me. Memory game is the worst one though. It’s stupidly funny how any time you tap the drum it either is super delayed or it doesn’t pick it up that you played that spot and plays a different one. It just needs a lot of fixing and needs to be finished. As cheap as I sound, it’s definitely not worth the $2 it costs. It it stays like this it needs to be free. I hope someone reads this and fixes this game cause I’d love it if it wasn’t so bugged out.

2. 5/5Great App, But Some Improvements Needed for Phones

   I love the Drumline app on my iPad—it’s a solid tool for drumming practice. However, using it on a phone is a different story. I often face issues with note registration on the tenors, snare, and bass drums. It’s frustrating when notes don’t register consistently. Additionally, the bass drums are puzzling; having two with the same pitch is confusing. I’d suggest arranging them in a clearer line instead of the current setup. These tweaks would make the app much more user-friendly on phones. Would I recommend you get this app? absolutely if you have an iPad but definitely not if you have a phone. Since the app works fine on iPad 5 stars but please fix the issues that I’m having.

3. 4/5Update: much improved

   With the new update the tenors most notably are very responsive. I really like the drum line inspired color tones and more modern design of the app. It’s much more usable now. Plus all the new features are really cool, and the tuner is awesome. The reason I’m giving 4 stars is because I wish that you could play the Tenors in landscape mode as opposed to just portrait mode, so that I can be more specific in my placement and sound better. But other than that an amazing improvement

4. 4/5Improving playability and customizability

   This app is very good and useful, but one downside of using it on a smaller phone is not having enough room to play especially on tenors. A potential fix would be to allow the app to rotate into landscape mode, giving more space to work with. I also think it would be helpful to have more customization, like the ability to toggle rims on and off or create custom playing zones. These feature would make it a more flexible, enjoyable and user friendly app.

5. 3/52 Main Problems

   It’s a useful app for when i need to check what other’s play or check it to see how it lines up with my music. The problems are that where i touch on the drum does not correspond to where it’s being played (for instance i hot the center of the drum but registers as a rim click). The other problem is that it is a bit slow, but that isn’t as much of a big deal as the other one. I also don't exactly know how to do buzzes on the snare or tenors and there seems to be no control of dynamics. Suggestions: The UI also seems out of date and should maybe get a more modern and solid colored background instead of a gradient shadowy background. The app icon I do quite like actually and that should never change.
