## Review summary

Users praise Salsa Rhythm as a helpful teaching and practice tool for salsa timing, with strong instrument isolation, authentic clave timing, and flexible customization. It’s appreciated in classes and by dancers for hearing individual parts and tailoring practice. However, several repeated complaints note that the app is too basic for advanced players, with limited sound variety and a robotic feel. Upgrades reportedly reduced audio clarity and removed convenient features. Additional requests include more rhythms (Cha-Cha, Rumba, Montuno, Bachata) and improvements in settings, quick mute, and persistence of preferences.

### Pros

- Instrument isolation lets you hear individual sounds clearly, aiding ear training and musical analysis.
- Accurate timing and authentic clave representation (2-bar clave) that helps dancers keep tempo and listen for clave.
- Flexible, customizable practice: change keys, switch clave, and turn instrument parts on/off or add instruments.
- Strong teaching tool used in classes and recommended to others; helpful for understanding salsa rhythm and musicality.
- Easy to use with engaging features and helpful visuals/animations that support learning.

### Cons

- Too basic for advanced percussionists; lacks the true variety of sounds and feels somewhat robotic.
- Upgrade changes degrade audio balance (difficulty hearing bass and other instruments) and removed features like YouTube song suggestions from the old version.
- Missing settings persistence (no option to store/reset preferences) and a lack of quick front-screen mute control.
- Requests for more rhythm options and genres (Cha-Cha, Rumba, Montuno, Bachata) and expansion beyond the current salsa focus.
