User Reviews

Drum Notes is praised for its quick rhythm-writing, educational value, and portability, with strong potential for teachers and students. However, users consistently report stability problems (crashes and data loss), playback/sound glitches (latency, accents), and feature restrictions (limited basic notation, free tier limits, paywalls). Improvements in robustness, easing notation, and more flexible pricing could unlock its full potential.

Pros

Easy to quickly compose and iterate drum rhythms on the go
Valuable for teaching and learning; useful for teachers and students
Portable and great for sharing and discovering rhythms or practicing with grooves
Free version provides baseline capability for quick ideas

Cons

Frequent crashes and stability issues
Limited/locked features in the free tier and expensive unlocks or account requirements
Playback/sound issues including latency, lag between notes, and inaccurate accents
Missing or restrictive notation options (e.g., no 8th-note option, basic notes only)
Data loss or project loss after crashes and some UI-related issues (e.g., playlists not appearing)

Recent reviews

It did have nice song and it was free but did not have the song like big easy eye of the tiger and 7 naitlo army

How do I write a whole note bass drum roll? Only see your basic notes???

Always needed something like this. An app that I can actually write out ideas in. Garage band would be fine except that you can’t do triplets and 16ths without making a new song essentially and it’s just overall not very user friendly. Great app for finding new stuff and writing out exercises you come up with yourself.
