Steve Reich’s Clapping Music App Reviews

Hello, Ive got a problem with the app, every time I launch it, when I quit, the app crash... The only solution is to uninstall it and install it back... Please fix it!! Without this problem the rate would be 5 stars... Its highly addictive and really cool! Keep going!

Very good! I am rhythmist and I strongly recommend this game.

Cant wait to share this with my students!

I really like the idea of an app that lets you play along to this piece, but I have a few issues: (1) as a method of showing the pattern changes, the dots are more confusing than helpful; (2) on my iPhone 5s the lag is enough to register as me not keeping proper time and getting a lower score than I should. I can actually play this piece quite expertly the way it was intended. The fact that I don’t do well with this app is more a problem with its execution than what I do with it.

Loved this... until it started systematically crashing on startup.

Performance on my iPad Air 2 is worse after update. I was able to complete the entire hard level before, but now I cant even get through the first pattern before it stops registering taps. Lots of fun when its working though.

Its a great introductory app to the concept of syncopation in music, but it feels too much like a game. The end goal of the game shouldnt be about beating ones best scores, but to perform clapping music with the other people. In that regard, the tapping on screen mechanism in practice mode would work much better if it is replaced by a video of someone doing the baseline beat. So when the user is wearing a headphone, it feels like he is performing the piece with a real person.

Love the ability to get into this piece of music. Give it a shot--its challenging for sure! I encountered one bug. Once I went into practice mode, tried it briefly, then attempted to go back to medium mode, but it was stuck in practice mode. A restart seemed to fix the problem. I would love it if this app presented the part in standard notation (as an option). Would be way easier (as a practicing musician). Lastly, I shared my results a couple times on Facebook, and challenged my friends to beat my score. They had no clue what game it was. Are you kidding me? I share my result on fb and the post gives NO indication what app it is? Devs--that is crazy. Crazy. CRAZY.

Since Ive updated, every time I try to play my phone starts buzzing and the app just doesnt work in general

This is an app I really enjoyed up until I updated to iOS 9! Now it starts to buzz whenever I try to play/practice... Another thing I would enjoy is an ability to play the game with actual clapping, or some way to simply see the patterns without actually playing the game... Clapping music was one of the first pieces I heard of reich, seeing it along Anne Teresas choreography to it, and it remains one of my favourite early reach piece!

Doesnt work anymore, just a loud buzz.

What a great realization of what an app can do.

The game is great, so addictive. But the app itself crashes and I have to reinstall it again every time, losing record of my scores.

I installed and started the training exercises; this is the good part. Im a bit sad that it doesnt use the iPad microphone to hear real hands clapping: you have to tap with one finger on the iPad. Then things went horribly wrong: the app crashes and wont re-open unless I re-install it completely. Waiting for a serious bug fix before I re-install this app again.

After updating,this app does not work. I touch the apps icon and view credit of touchpress.com but app suddenly quit. My iPhone 6 plus is work on iOS8.4. I hope solve this problem because I love Reich and Clapping Music.

Non stop beeping on iOS9. Plz update ASAP. Great app, though....

Truly fun!!

Hello Guys! App is absolutely awesome! But something went wrong when I opened it with new iOS :(

The app didnt ask for the permission to use the microphone, and hence no wonder it cant hear me clap. Hmm

Dont be turned off by the music needs reviewing this app. Its fun for everyone. Essentially guitar hero for this one piece of music. My only complaint is sometimes theres a hiccup or some lag so my tap registers a bit late. Im on an iPhone 6 so it could be better on a 6s. Dunno. Fun app for free tho. Cant complain too much!
