Incredible app
09/08/2025
A challenged dancer
The app works best with Buena Vista Social Club songs, songs of Adalberto Alvarez, Jose Alberto “El Canario” - almost 100% detection. Not so well with others: for example Los Van Van’s songs - only 15% detection. Hopefully next version will be even better. All in all, the app allows me to go to salsa parties and finally dance with confidence !!!

Developer Response
Thank you for the feedback! We’re constantly expanding our song catalog and refining our algorithm to improve beat detection for tricky tracks. Sometimes, we struggle to find timing with certain songs, but with that information, we improve our algorithm and overall song catalog. Our accuracy is getting better every day thanks to input like yours! Please feel free to retry the songs after a while.

This is exactly what I was looking for, I know a lot of moves but I was always told I was fast to the point some people thought I was dancing on 2, even at clasess the joke is I’m on speed! Hahah this REALLY help me to get used to the correct beats! I love it can find the beats on the songs I’m listening to, though it doesn’t work in all the songs this is definitely a great idea to keep developing!! GODD JOB GUYS!!

I was struggling to find the count outside of the classroom setting and this has helped so much. Totally would recommend to anyone in the learning process.
