Cowbell Plus

I bought this app thinking it would be better than the FREE cowbell app Boy was I wrong more sounds yes but not any better controls Application should have a loop option that keeps the sound coming at regular stroke intervals Save your money till this app is upgraded     Does not loop the sounds no better than the FREE apps

Very well designed and easy to use If your children are musical like mine they will get a kick out of it Since I cant sing a lick I can pick an instrument and shake my iPhone to the beat 2 well spent even for a party gag                 Fun little music app Not just cowbell

it was fun for the first 5 minutesneeds something else to make it more fun        boring

Great app sounds real and works great                 GREAT App

I originally wasnt going to buy this thinking I could be satisfied by the More Cowbell app alone Boy was I wrong I love this app Ill play along with my music and it relaxes me like nothing else can it also annoys everyone around me like nothing else can Ive read a lot of reviews that say it lags which it does but only when you shake itif you tap instead the lag isnt noticeable Definitely worth the money                 So simple So fun

Great app I will use it on stage just to irk my percussionist                 Tons of fun

Give this to your five year old ADD or ADHD kids and heshe willl have a blast              GReatway to loose time

First of all the latency problems some people talk about are not that big a deal When tapping its almost unnoticeable and for shaking I think its more an issue with the accelerometer accuracy than with the app You can still shake a pretty accurate beat Ive been playing the drum kit and djembe for several years and I can tell you this app is capable of making real percussive music There are several excellent features I was surprised to find that no one else talked about One is the bar on the left side of the screen with different volume dots on it This allows you to play with precise volume dynamics as it plays incrementally louder depending on which dot you tap on Another way to incorporate dynamics is just how hard you tap the screen anywhere you tap the screen the harder the tap the louder it plays It also plays louder if you shake it harder Dynamic volume is a key part of a beat and this app gets it right Another great feature is the arrow at the top of the screen you see in those screen shots This shows which direction the app is using as your downstroke when shaking the ipod For a real percussionist this is very important This means it will play the note or sound when your hand hits the bottom of the shake not the top of the shake You want this when playing the ride cymbal for example For shaker instruments like the maracas there is a double arrow correctly indicating that it will play on both the upstroke and the downstroke These features make this a great app just for fun but also a valuable tool for practicing real percussion Its a steal for 2                 Dynamics Response Ideal Features for playing real music

This si a fun app that I could see myself using every so often when Im bored I like the different volumes depending on the speed of your hand or if you dont wanna go crazy shaking your hand and looking like a moron on the subway there is a tapping feature I was impressed at how many different instruments there were I wish there were more drums and a Cymbal would have been nice but just about everything that you could bang together are included here              This is a fun little app

please add Audiobus support as soon as possible              AUDIOBUS SUPPORT PLZ

Bought this application because I was curious Works ok sound is excellent But its hard to play on beat with a song I think because there is a slight iPhone processing millisecond delay Other than that it is a really kool idea Im not complainen about the price I think its a good price for the features           Excellent idea

Its nice but needs a little work           A little work

Significant delay rendering it useless     A total ripoff

Many reviews of other percussion apps note that there is significant latency from when you want the sound and when it happens I just downloaded this app and was very pleased that this app seems to have solved that issue Shake the rattle or hot the rimshot and the sound is immediate                 Latency not an issue

Updated delay fixed Works great for what it is would use it weekly if there wasnt delays such that you cant keep a beat Is it impossible technically No because the triangle works Sound quality is acceptable coming out the little speaker                 New version works better

I like it And it works on iPod though very well                 Great program

One thing the developers should add is a shake counter D                 Awesome

ON THE IPOD TOUCH it dosent work the instrument lights up but dosent make any sound bad     DONT DOWNLOAD THIS

The latency kills this app I can not consistantly play any pattern        From a drummer

I use this little puppy for my karaoke show for incidental sounds and it is hilarious Yes there are some latency issues especially after launch or pluggingunplugging line cord that I hope the devs can resolve but it is still more than 2 dollars worth of fun and the qualityvolumelatency blows away Sound Machine More Cowbell Sorry Glenda and DrumKit Hopefully those and more will come around and provide us with plenty more DJ tools              Great Gene Frenkles Ghost

Very well done and works great even if pluged into speakers I have one complaint though I would love a to record a beat using the cowbell and then add the maracas Then it would be like both instraments playing at once Overal great app              Exellent job

You should add a comedy rimshotthat badum ching drumcymbal combination that could be used after every bad joke I tell That could come in very handy                 Love it but heres an idea for next update

Audiobus Audiobus Audiobus Audiobus                 The voice of many chanting

There are soo many different instruments                 OffTheChain

Now here is a developer that used their brains Would love to see chimes Please add this                 GENIUS

How could I not buy an app that has shaky eggs Awesome does exactly what it is intended to do                 Shaky eggs

Not only are the sounds for all of the instruments great but you can actually jam by playing different instruments on the screen where you get to choose which one you want to play I know I didnt explain that very well This simply is the most fun drummingpercussion app there is with the added bonus of being able to mix several instruments at once and also a great integration in terms of being able to play with your own iTunes songs I love this app and its a steal BUY IT Trust me                 Fabulous App in all respects

I had high hopes for this to be a cool app considering all the rave reviews it had gotten But alas it is mediocre at best           Not Worth The 199

Only app I have purchased and I love it It works better than I expected The instruments have sensitivity and respond with a hard or soft shake Two bucks well spent                 Great app

Seeing as this is the plus version and it has lots of different samples I though it might actually be useful to a musician in a geeky sort of way However the latency delay of the app is such that its really hard to play a groove The latency when you tap the screen is about 100 milliseconds or a tenth of a second So unless you just want to impress your friends for two seconds I would not bother paying for this        its a toy

After you get past your initial curiosity with this app you will know why there isnt one That comment was supposed to be a joke and so is this app     What is the refund policy

Who wouldnt want a little more cowbell in their life Also has a great selection of alternate instruments including triangle and sleigh bells etc However it is a wee bit slow to respond For instance if you were trying to keep time to Dont Fear the Reaper for instance youd find the cowbell sounding a bit later than it should Dont know if anything can be done about that It might just be the iPhone So theres that Its infectious though Everybody I show wants to play with it Five stars and more if they could fix that small problem              Coolest But slight latency problem

Playing this is like playing an actual instrument its sooooo cool You shake it side to side to make egg shaker sounds and its so convincing that it surprise me sometimes Plus you can play music from the iPod part of the iPhone and openuse this app at the same time so I can add my own cowbell to any song I want GOTTA HAVE MORE COWBELL                 Like a real cowbell and real egg shakers

The latency makes this useless even when tapping not just shaking Dont know if it is the app or iPhone 20 problems in general Semipro musician     Latency brutal
