## Description

Create your own minimalist melodies with this exciting new app. 
Based on Lullatone's album "Little Songs About Raindrops," this app allows you to make songs that sound like drips and drops falling on a tiny orchestra of instruments.
Pressing the multi-colored raindrops triggers notes that loop every six seconds. 
Combine different colored drops and notes to compose your own rainy-day melodic backdrops. A metronome is also included to help you keep time. 
This app is super simple on purpose. Simple is magic!

## Review summary

Dropophone is praised for its simple, calming, and kid-friendly interface that lets users create looping melodies with minimal effort. The main drawbacks mentioned by multiple users are the lack of save/record functionality, the tendency to stop when the screen sleeps, and the desire for more sounds and rhythmic variety.

### Pros

- Simple, minimalist, and intuitive design that’s easy for all ages to use.
- Calming, relaxing, and meditative listening experience.
- Great for kids and family; broad age appeal.
- Allows building looping melodies sound-by-sound, which is creative and engaging.
- Pleasant, cute, soothing sound palette within a small app footprint.

### Cons

- No save/record feature; users want to save their melodies or recordings.
- App shuts off when the screen is inactive; users want background playback or sleep-mode support.
- Limited sound variety and rhythmic options; users want more samples, voices/scales, and the ability to reuse sounds more than once in a cycle.
