Useful but…

Great app and a greater teaching tool. However, I am having issues trying to get it to sync with my iPhone and my other iPad. Isn’t this a cloud based app? Hence, I should be able to sync all my data across all my Apple devices right?

Developer Response ,

Thank you for supporting Beat Note and for taking the time to share your feedback! As you mentioned, Beat Note is a cloud-based app. However, this functionality is currently limited to saving the data for a single device if you upgrade or change your device so you can restore your data. I'm sorry that the app does not state this clearly, and I will look into how I can improve this user experience. I have included the ability to sync data across multiple devices in the Beat Note Road Map of future features, as this is quite complex and will take some time to complete. You can find the road map from the Settings screen right from within the app to see what enhancements I have planned for the future based on user input. Beat Note has only been out for a couple of months, and this is just the beginning of the journey. I aim to make Beat Note the BEST app for drum transcription and practice, full stop. If you have questions about the app or feedback regarding enhancements or functionality you would like to see, rather than leaving feedback in a review where we cannot communicate, please send me a message or schedule a time to chat with me right from within the app under the Settings screen. I respond personally to all inquiries and make it super simple to contact me, which enables us to have a more detailed conversation about your needs. All the best for your drumming journey, Derek

Extremely useful rhythm app

I have been using this app as a teaching and transcribing tool for my lessons. I found it so much easier to teach my drum students using this app. The grids help my students, especially the younger ones, the concept of time and meter.

The recent update of indicators to the notations as it plays make it so much more engaging for my students.

As it is, I think it is a fantastic drumming notation app that will help you become a better reader and teacher. It is not easy to create an app at such a level of high detail for drummers and I do appreciate how the developer is constantly updating and creating more features as time goes by based on the demand of the users.

I highly encourage any drummer to have this app or even other instrumentalist to under how drumming notation works.

Developer Response ,

Thank you so much for your glowing review and for awarding Beat Note 5 stars! It's incredibly rewarding to hear that the app has become such an integral part of your teaching toolkit.

I'm thrilled to hear that Beat Note has made teaching drumming easier and more engaging for your students. The fact that it's helping younger students grasp the concept of time and meter is especially gratifying. I'm glad you're finding the recent update with indicators to the notations as it plays to be beneficial as well.

Your words of praise and encouragement mean a lot. Knowing that Beat Note is helping drummers become better readers and teachers is exactly why I created the app, and I'm grateful for your support.

Your feedback is invaluable as I continue to evolve Beat Note to meet the needs of drummers and educators like yourself. If you ever have any ideas, suggestions, or requests for features that would further enhance the app's usefulness in teaching, please don't hesitate to share them with me.

Thank you once again for your support and for recommending Beat Note to others. Your endorsement means a great deal, and I'm honored to have your trust.

Warm regards,
Derek
