Beat Blocks is an interactive rhythm practice app built for players at every level. See the beat, build your own patterns, play along, and strengthen your timing with multiple ways to visualize rhythm.
4 Unique Visualization Modes:
- Beat Blocks Mode: The signature dot-grid view. Notes and rests become clear geometric blocks, making rhythm structure easy to see and feel.
- Circles Mode: Each beat becomes a colorful circle divided into slices for its subdivisions, then lights up in time as the rhythm plays.
- Staff Mode: Practice with standard musical notation and connect your rhythm training to real-world sight-reading.
- Jianpu (Numbered) Mode: A clean numbered-notation view for players who prefer Jianpu.
Key Features:
- Custom Rhythm Editor: Build and save your own rhythms in 4/4, 3/4, and 6/8. Create eighth-note patterns, triplets, dotted rhythms, syncopations, rests, and multi-measure exercises.
- Expanded 6/8 Practice: Explore a dedicated set of 6/8 rhythm patterns designed for compound-meter training.
- Course & Starter Library: Practice with ready-made rhythm groups, from basic pulse control to more advanced subdivision and syncopation.
- Loop & Tap-Along: Loop any rhythm to internalize it, or test your timing with tap-along scoring and per-beat feedback.
- Professional Metronome: Use high-quality sounds, count-in, tempo control, visual pulse, and flexible loop playback to keep practice precise.
- Share & Import: Export custom rhythms as text and import rhythms created in Beat Blocks, including existing 4/4 exercises from earlier versions.
- One-Time Unlock: Start with free practice content, then unlock full course and custom-rhythm playback with a one-time purchase. No subscription. No ads.
Whether you are building a steady foundation or practicing complex meters, Beat Blocks turns rhythm training into a visual, creative, hands-on experience.
See it. Build it. Feel it. Master the beat.
It doesn’t register as something playing, so when I have low power mode on my phone (constant lol) then I have to stop mid way and tap the screen to keep it on. Yeah u can turn off low power mode, but it’d be cool if this was fixed so I could keep low power mode turned on and play longer
Developer Response
Thank you for the detailed feedback! That’s a very useful point. We understand that during rhythm playback or practice, the screen turning off can interrupt the experience, especially when Low Power Mode is on. We’ll look into improving this so the app can better keep the screen active during playback and practice. Thanks for helping us improve Beat Blocks!
Bad update

Why’d you have to make the triplets and 16nth notes cost money?! I wanted to practice those notes and now I can’t
Developer Response
Previously, the app only included a few free examples, but in the latest version we added a complete, systematic rhythm training course with more free built-in exercises, so users can practice rhythm more effectively.
Pay to play
The worst game ever123*=//
To do like any other things except the two levels are like the two things you have to pay like $10. This would be a good game if it might cost no money at all or like you had to do an assessment to unlock like levels.
Basically useless

Practice & “edit your rythms” is in the name yet you can only do that if you pay just seems like false advertising ngl. Not to mention theres so little you can actually do on the app without paying
Developer Response
Sorry for the confusion. You can create and edit your rhythms for free, but playing and evaluating custom rhythms are Premium features. The app also includes free built-in rhythm lessons and exercises, and we’re continuing to add more free content. We’ll make the feature descriptions clearer to avoid misunderstanding. Thank you for your feedback.
this version introduces Dark Mode, with options to follow your system settings or choose an appearance manually.
