Steve Reich’s Clapping Music App Reviews

Can you add an option for musical notation view? Would be more fun for those who can read rhythmic notation. Thanks!

Each time I play this game I feel I'm dump 🙃 But I guess that makes it such a great thing. It's not easy, it'll make you work and improve.

I love Clapping Music 🤠

But it’s just unpleasant to play. Missing one beat will send you back so fast and it’s just not fun when you miss one beat and have to start over because of how fast the game will kill your run.

This is such an fun app!!! I’m a dance teacher and this is a great thing to play for rhythm training. When I play it, I feel so happy!

best way to practice!!!! Designed wonderfully for percussionists and musicians in general who wish to work on this skill.

The visual cues on screen don’t match what I hear, which makes it pretty difficult to play. It would be awesome if there was an option to view the patterns written out in notation while playing the game. It would also make the rhythm practice done in the game more practically applicable for musicians (seeing rhythms you play in the game written in notation will make it easy to recognize them immediately in a piece you’re sight reading or whatever). Just my two cents I hope a dev sees this. :)

Super fun if you’re practicing your rhythm and tempo.

My late, brilliant music theory teacher Seán Diebler introduced us to Clapping Music in 1995. He would be delighted with this app, and probably have a few suggestions.

I love it. It’s so hard but so fun. My band director suggested it and I’m having a blast. 10/10 would recommend.

There is a heavy sound and tapping delay when using AirPods that make this basically unusable. Please fix

This app is so frustrating. The authors developed a made-up form of music notation instead of just using standard music notation. I assume it’s to get around copyright law, which is also lame—just pay the publisher. Also, I’m pretty sure it’s incorrect in places—it’s hard to tell, for sure.
