Pros and cons of Ratatap Drums app for iPhone and iPad

Ratatap Drums app good for

One of the best drum app. You can even create your own which at your parents garage! Need chineese cymbal however!

An extraordinary app made for all kinds of drummers. Its funny if you want just play for fun and complete if youre a really pro drummer. A must have app.

The best drum app ever! Responds to sensitivity, realístic sounds. Even makes great drum loops for recording.

Great variety of sounds and equips very realistic. I truly enjoy

I write and record music. I make beats for performance and Ive found this to be a very fun and useful tool for beat making. Fantastic!

So far so good! Fun to mess around and record, try different drum and symbol layouts

Some bad moments

no support for audiobus no midi input drum sound crashed when jam playback

My issues are starting to pop up with this app, just so happens it starts after I buy the full version of it. First off where is the option to save the music made so that it can be used elsewhere? Many other music apps allow this, why can I not do it with this app? Using real player to download the clip when you email it does not work either, you are sent a link to their website and you end up with a locked 2 second clip. And sharing to Facebook doesnt work either, it keeps saying there is an error. Fix the save ability to use the music made using the app and my review will go back to its once glorious state!

I love it.. But i have some audio glitches and sound distorted problems when i play drums and contemporary the ratatap song player is playing any of the mp3 drumless songs. This didnt happens with Ipad 1, Ipad 2 and Ipad Retina. if you play only the drumset without any background songs it is fine and ok. But the enjoyment its when you feel like a real drummer. Can you please solve this annoying problem with an upgrade dedicated to the ipad mini users ??

Im only giving the app a 2 star rating because it hasnt been updated in a long time. Now with an iPhone 7 plus there is a noticeable lag when playing. And sound through the speakers is distorted its only playable with headphones.

Its really nice I mean I play the drums and I dont really like having to pay 400-800 for a good set so yea

Lots of fun to play with your favorite tunes. There is an issue when playing with iTunes. Static sound makes the drums sound crappy. Fix this please!
