5/5Can the count be muted from the front screen?
Question: what’s the toggle button at the very bottom left of the screen, under the microphone? It looks as though it should mute the count, but seems to have no effect. Can I mute the count from the front screen? (I can do it by tapping the mic, going to the next screen, hitting mute and back, but the toggle would be much quicker.) Update: Got your answer, thanks so much. I’m just using percussion for now, so I hadn’t picked up on the chord changing.

5/5Excellent
I’m a dance teacher with a music degree. This is the best and most adaptable tool I’ve found for helping my students hear salsa music. Being able to continually adjust the tempo and fade parts in and out helps people find things. Because hearing something is an active process- if you don’t know where to listen or what to look for, you won’t hear it, even if it’s clear for everyone else.

4/5A great app for learning or teaching musicality!
I have been dancing for about 15 years, and definitely wish I had this when I was starting off! Salsa music can be very intimidating and confusing for beginners, and this app is a nice, graphical way for both beginners and more advanced dancers to learn about the instruments of salsa and the different beats involved in the music. My one gripe is that the interface could be a little more intuitive - case in point I turned off the visual counting for the beat and cannot figure out how to turn it back on!

5/5Rights to Use in Online Classes
The app is very good. We’ve used it in classes and with students multiple times! And I have also hear some of our peers love to use it as well! Question: We are wondering if it is allowable to use on online dance lessons we will be selling soon. Please let us know or how we can discuss an agreement to use the app for our online classes.

5/5Impressive
I have been using this app since it first appeared in the app store. Thank you for including a minor tone, let's have some more. The update is great and I love the changes you made to the user interface. This app has tremendous potential for even greater features. Keep up the hard work. I would love to be able to record what the app is playing along with my guitar riffs.
