Damn

Another time I was fooled by the reviews, I think these are from the developers. It doesn't have pitch bend or ADSR or velocity control. It's more like a toy.

Perfect

What's not to love about this. My kids and friends all love it! Its hours of fun and actually helps you to learn the real thing.

Worth the $ for this instrument

Works great on iPhone with mouth. But better to use touch on iPad. Worth the money for sure but I would still love an update that includes different harmonicas and ability to hold the virtual blow holes in the back and also ability to lock/anchor the scale/pitch with a smaller transparent menu button somewhere that will not easily be touched. Plz contact me if u need app tester for instruments

I really like this app!

I'm just now getting to know what this app can do. As an avid amateur harmonica player I can now have a virtual choice of harmonicas. I can play without bothering anyone.

Sppiddeyy rockk if onlyy youu couldd playy itt!

Good but you should be able to record stuff and play it back and save it. Also gets kinda boring and my friends didn't fool for it......u dnt blow you just touch it and this makes them bored and it doesn't seem as cool.

This is an awesome app!

Well done! It has good sound and I like the tuning option! U need to put a teaching aid on! And some blues! Blues are the quinticential function of the harmonica!

Great Fun!

this is alot of fun to do especially when i cant play it in real life!

Took a chance and it was worth it!

I love playing music of all kinds and on anything that can make a sound. But I was skeptical that this app would actually work. I figured I lose $.99 at worst.

But this harmonica app was totally worth it. Nicely executed, Benjamin! I love it. As one of the first people to try the original Ocarina app and a few other musical instrument apps I've seen both good and bad (Ocarina is great by the way). This is one of the best.

It plays so realistically and once you get the hang of the "chords" button and "draw" button it's a snap to play.

I don't understand the reviews that say you can't change key or that you can't play chords. Do these people bother reading the very simple instructions, or take two minutes to play around with the buttons? Honestly, people, if you dont have the patience to test the app properly then don't bother writing an idiotic review.

This is excellent and worth more than the measly buck being charged.

Missing a few important things

This is a great app, but, please add thesing Shanandoah! This is one of the most important songs for harp players when first starting out. Also, please change out the Amazing Grace notes for one that us more clear. It is the worst set of notes to Amazing Grace ive ever heard.

Thank you. Despite those two changes, I'm very pleased with the app.

Excellent use of iPhone tech... great app!

Overall a great app and, since the update, a very useful app... It's much more like a harmonica than other harp apps out thereโ€ฆ though it desperately needs some blues harp add ons in the next update (hopefully)... Being able to bend notes and get a rawer sound would add to this app's usefulness (maybe add the amplified sound of a cupped blues harp mic, too). People crack up when I put the iPhone to my lips and "blow" notes & tunes out of itโ€ฆ Overall (with a few other .99 harmonica apps and more expensive blues harp app out there to consider) this is an iPhone app well worth the price (cheap) for a versatile and fun musical instrumentโ€ฆ that can actually be played as you would a real harp (hold it to dry lips, move iPhone back and forth against lips for note position)โ€ฆ or just use your fingers to trace notes along the playable edge of the app. It's a great idea, well executed and much better designed than the other harp apps out there. Well done. I give it a four star rating in the hopes that additional features may be added. Seeing as how the app is stictly diatonic scale and not chromatic, my hopes are for features geared toward the blues harp player for a future five star rating.
