Congas Bongos Reviews

I thought this was a nicely designed app for teaching congas and bongos. The weakness is that the lessons are very limited. Then comes the really big negative. You have to pay a monthly subscription fee to use CongasBongos . In my opinion I just don’t think CongasBongos is worth the price for what you get.

Unfortunately Apple and some of its app developers are getting just to greedy. This is one of those cases. The moment I found that this is a subscription product I canceled the subscription. Now I have the Apple Team sending me emails to pay the subscription fee.

If you give more time in between lessons for commercials, people may get more positive feedback sooner.

Get CongasBongos if you want to be driven crazy.

Looks cool - tries to simulate real drum heads when you tap them, even varying in sound from the edge to center, and some cymbals and other sound effects on the side. But it only lets you access one lesson. Afterwards, every lesson you try doesn’t work and instead plays an ad. And not just a short ad, but a 30 second ad that you cannot exit from. And not just any ad, but ads with middle or high school kids and loud, bouncy music. The interface is awful - I could not navigate and there was no explanation on how to. There also would be a “Watch on YouTube” banner that would float up and cover up buttons and keep popping you over to YouTube if you tried to work around it.

So maybe, just maybe you already play the bongos, don’t need lessons, and just want an app where you can practice on some electronic drumheads this might work. But it would probably drive you nuts that the creators maybe have not seen real bongos and made them the same size on the screen.
