I’m don’t want to rate this too low, because it’s just been updated. But it’s not showing up in Cubasis or AUM, and the sound level is barely audible. So I’ll give it a 3 and hope it gets fixed.
I have an iPhone and was using this app in the past. With recent updates there’s no volume. No matter how much I turn up the volume you can’t hear it through the speaker. The sound is really low. Not sure what happened but the app is useless if I can’t hear the sound.
The app forces rotation that is "upside down" on my iPad Air -- makes it effectively left-handed if I want to use breath-control. Need option to select rotation.
The sound is very appealing, except there is no perceivable volume control. I see where a review that was posted a year ago reported the same issue. If it’s a user issue, then some sort of in-app FAQ or other instructional help would suffice. Otherwise, please pump up the volume!
I don't want to sound criticizing when I say I expected a little more. The app itself is perfectly fine and functions very well, but I don't think I'd buy it again if I could.
Short keyboard, but sounds just like a melodica. Can adjust reverb, touch sensitivity and a couple of other things that I haven't tried yet. It is fun to fool around with, but could actually be used to accompany other music. Sounds very Parisienne. ... And ...you don't have to turn blue breathing into the little tube like you do on a real melodica. Love it.
Keys stick. Need quicker ability to swap between octaves and stay there. Was craving the Hohner sound - closer but still no cigar. Breath control is novelty and nice touch. Buy if you're bored.
