It’s TRULY baby grand in your pocket☆

I’m FLOORED that you updated this today☆ Thank you for caring enough to do so. I know you did an update in the past year, or two, but today’s update shows you really do care about this app. I’ve had this app since my iPhone3G back in 2009, and I’ve also put it on my iPhone4 (Twenty-10), iPhone5 (Twenty-12), and my iPhone6S+ (Twenty-15). I’ve been a student of David L Burge’s Perfect Pitch course since 1998, and I like to use your piano app to test my ear when tones and notes jump out at me in real life☆ I like the accuracy of the touch, even when using 15-key mode. The tone is so realistic for it to be coming from a phone. It really makes me wish I had a stereo iPhone7, but i’m still gonna wait a while since I still have the last of the headphone-jack iPhones.
Thank you so much.

Flawed...

Lotta fun...when it actually works, that is. When I go to it on my homescreen, it jumps me BACK to my homescreen after a few seconds. It was working fine the first day I downloaded it, but it's been acting up ever since. And please forgive my ignorance, but I've only had my iPhone a couple of months. What exactly is a "jailbroken" iPhone?

Bluetooth speaker issue

Cool app. Has an issue with bluetooth speakers (I’m using UE MINI BOOM): if you delay more than 12 seconds between notes, the sound stops working. You can restart it by going to settings, changing the speaker to iPhone and then changing it back to the bluetooth speaker (or by restarting the app). It’s as if the app isn’t keeping the connection alive or is being moved to the background and shutting the connection down.

iOS6 or iPhone 5

Kindly update for iPhone 5.. Waiting for very long time now..

Confusing record mode!

This app is great for quickly recording song riff ideas. However, the record mode is confusing and not intuitive at all. When I press record, for example, I expect to be creating a new song and not hear another one playing back! The help menu is not helpful in this regard, either. Also, I'm not sure when I save something exactly what I'm saving and if I'll be overwriting an existing file. So not worth the price if I'm deleting or not saving what I intended.

Needs iPhone5 update!!!

I love it in HD but I actually think the free one-octave MiniPiano looks and sounds better. I think this one should get more sounds; like an old Moog synth and an organ or bells etc, and it needs is better scrolling; several other synths and pianos scroll nice and smooth so you can follow the keys with your eyes but scrolling in Pianist is so jerky it's an exercise in disorientation. For this price I'd like another big update or two pretty soon.

iOS 6 update needed

Needs 4 inch display update!!!!

Great app, needs little improvement

I love this piano application. The user interface is wonderful and works great, there are just a few things that need to be improved.

I would like to see a setting that allows you to play the piano while the music application is still running.
I would also like the startup time to be improved. Whenever I use this application, it is because I need to check the pitch of something quickly, and it usually takes a couple seconds to start up.

HORRIBLE

This app stinks. DO NOT BUY THIS. it is a major waste of money. I thought it would be a high quality app being $4 and all. Well all I can say is I'm really disappointed. You can't even record more than one song! I bought this so I could compose pieces that I would be able to play back for my friends. Apparently this app is for people who plan on writing one song. Very disappointing like I mentioned before. I give this 0 stars but i guess thats not possible on the app store. Listen to me people, DO NOT BUY THIS. >:P

Pretty Awesome!

I thought this was free and I guess I accidentally bought it charging my parents some money and I was pretty angry at my self and upset because I thought this was a really stupid app and I made a huge mistake. At first I thought it was garbage and useless, but it's actually pretty fun!! Once u get used to using it it can become a really useful and fun app. $4 doesn't really seem worth it, but it's the best piano app around for apple! I actually wouldn't buy this, but since I did accidentally... I got to see that's it's really not bad! Although i think it should be worth $2 at highest. But I love how u can change the size of ur piano and record songs on the go! It's fun to create tunes! :).
