Great idea but....

There is a bit of a lag from the time that you play a note and the time you hear the sound. It's still pretty cool for a phone. My only complaint is that you can't hardly hear it! With the volume all the way up its just a whisper. This means if you want to play a little sound for someone and show of the phone they can't even hear it. I think the other instruments MooCowMusic has are the same. Maybe there will be an update for that.

For piano lovers

This app is great if you love the piano. The sound quality is great and I love the sustain. You can only play one octave at a time, BUT you can record with or without a metronome. After recording one sound clip, you can record again over the previous clip you recorded. Great feature. Only problem us that it only works half of the time on my iPhone. Great app though :)

Everything you would want... almost...

This is by far the best piano app in the AppStore. The ONLY reason this is not a 5 star app is becuase I would love to export what I have done and use it in an app like GarageBand. This is every bit worth the price, and would be even a greater value if they would give us export capabilities.

Awesome

The only improvement that could be made is the ability to play more complex chords. Also, extra keyboard instruments could be added e.g. Organ, synthesiser and electric piano.

Holy poop, I will be playing this until someone or something takes my Iphone!!!!

Awesome program, I'm sorry but totally worth the money... Heck I'm a student on a tight buget, but this is worth the cash! Only thing I could ask for is a function to help you learn piano. But wicked anyways!

Baaaaad.

This is the worst music app I've downloaded. For $7.99 it doesn't offer much at all. It crashes the iPhone constantly on opening. Poor effort. I feel ripped off

Must have, please read!

This is a really great app, 88 keys sounds like a real piano. Now of course due to screen size, you are a little limited to what you can reach. I have seen a few reviews saying, it dosent work, won't work after a update etc. YOU HAVE TO RESTART YOUR IPOD!!!! When you install the App, or an update you have to restart for it to work!!! It's just like you home or laptop computer, you put a good sized program or update, you have to restart. Come on guys durr LOL!

Good, but boring & expensive

Program is well written, no complaints there. It is a little expensive for what it does, and after playing around with it a few times, it gets a little boring.

If you are a musician that needs to record a melody that's in your head get it otherwise pass

Excellent!!

This program exceeded my expectations by a lot. I am a musician and a music theory student so this program really comes in handy when studying intervals and chords. The UI is simple and easy, the keyboard is extremely accurate when you're touching they keys, and it even has a simple metronome (I previously spent $5.99 for another metronome app that didn't work - now I just use Pianist!). Definitely worth the list price.
