Bongos Free

Bongos Free allows users to play the bongo drums directly on their iPad. To play the bongos, users must launch the app and then tap the drum. They will then hear bongo sounds. If users tap the bongos on different places, they will hear different sounds, which reflect the position where they tapped the drum. Also, users can tap the “R” button on the bottom of the screen. Doing so will allow the users to select from four different bongo drum set arrangements.
