Very cool, well done! I just showed it to my wife and 3 year old and both spent 45 minutes playing with it.

Some suggestions:

- the ads on iPad are really obtrusive. Please remove them. I'd gladly pay for the app or the individual packages. ( I deleted the app within 5 minutes)

- a "buy everything" option would be nice

- I think a two handed mode would be really great: perhaps you could consider generating two timelines with separate even handlers so that you can play multiple rhythms at the same time. Would be a nice "advanced mode".

- eventually , an option to include scoring would be nice. You could compare the actual rhythm offset with the"ideal" rhythm to train user rhythm. The current "sandbox" mode really should stay, though, since I really enjoyed watching my kid playing with it :-)

Other than that, great work!

Yes, a two handed mode + scoring would be great. That would make it a fun program to practice rhythm. There are similar music training software such as Earmaster but they're not really engaging.
