Rhythm Cat - Read Music App Reviews

My students have LOVED this game over the past couple years, but now they complain about the sluggishness between screens and we do not like the new scrolling feature where the student must move their eyes quickly back up a line, whereas before the entire rhythm could fit on one page. Colors are duller and not as many fun cats on the screens! :(

What a great idea! For the really rhythmically challenged, can there be a “helper” option? Maybe a “clap” sound to note the beat, that the learner could tap along with. I think this will help some children (and adults) understand the concepts of rhythm better, instead of just using colored notes to indicate success.

This app does a wonderful job with song selection and varied rhythms. I appreciate the use of well-known tunes. I also like that the rhythms appear visually in meter, with measures. The only reason I am not giving it 5 stars is that I discovered an issue with my colorblind students, who cannot distinguish which notes go with which button. I wonder if there is an equally distinct choice of colors that would be accessible to most forms of colorblindness. I also would suggest, if possible, the opti

Songs from level 1-3 onward are still misreading beats, even after update.

best game ever i love this game so much pls make more rhythm cat levels

This app is wonderful! It has helped me understand rhythm much more than anything else I’ve tried. This is definitely an app that deserves five stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

James was very helpful in troubleshooting the sound issues we were having with this game. We got a prompt response and several different things to try. Both of my daughters take piano love this game!

I absolutely love this app. It is a fun and efficient way to get kids to practice reading rhythm.

I am a percussionist and this game helped me out with complexed beats. This game is awesome now I jam out on my drums this year!

Great game, but glitchy at times. Would give more stars, but I thought it was expensive for the little amount you get to play.

As addictive as Angry Birds, but you're learning as you play! Eagerly waiting for more levels/songs!

I am in currently in college and tutor percussion. This is a fantastic app for rhythms. I think a practice mode for the faster rhythms would be nice but over all a fantastic app for learning and teaching rhythms!

Beautifully designed, well written musical numbers, challenging rhythms in a logical succession. Great game.

I struggle with rhythms, and this app is perfect for practicing! Really hope there will be new levels soon

This really has helped my reading. I'm a drummer and never had much use for reading until I started trying to learn out of books.

This is excellent motivation to practice rhythms. It doesn't catch all of my mistakes but it catches most of them; it needs to be used with a desire to improve, not cheat.

Love this app! Good for practicing rhythm but not always accurate enough!

this is a cool app, but: 1)the accuracy is a little off - some mistakes can get by and Still earn 3 stars 2) can the name & composer of the background music be listed at each level? (I like the songs, and I am curious.)

Anything that can get a bunch of eighth-graders trying over and over to get the rhythm perfect is all right in my book

It is possible to hit unnecessary notes/beats as long as the main beats are still played in time for each notated rhythm.

We love this series of apps. My kids and I just finished this app. It’s fun to try to count it out loud while playing. An update could have a recording of someone counting off each level maybe. Then again, maybe that would make it too easy.

My kids love it but not the new background. They think it looks dull. Great content though.

Really great learning tool and fun to boot. I really wish there was more content though: like full songs and more complex songs too.

I teach private piano and this app is great for enforcing rhythms. My students love this app!

1-3, tempo of count off and tempo of song do not match

the notes are not sensitive enough and most of the time when I tap them nothing happens.

Problems! Help!

Can’t get past level 4 because it counts down in double time yet song is half time. IOW, it’s buggy.

I’ve played piano for years and thought this might help others struggling with rhythm. But it doesn’t record all the keys I hit and keeps making me try again when I absolutely know I did it right the first time! Not helpful.

Everything past level 4 is simply a mess. The screen will not accept beats played correctly and will also not show mistakes like the first three levels. I downloaded this to help my beginning kids with their sheet music and it was a sad disappointment. I gave one star for the concept and one star for the cats.
