Nope
Not good at all.
Hilarious!
Gets the iPhone dirty though.
Great app!
I was debating whether to give this 4 stars or 5.
This is a great application. Very simple interface - not really any explanation needed. If you like harmonicas but don't have one, I say buy this - it's 1 dollar.
It would be nice if you could keep the iPod music playing while the harmonica app is running, so you could mess around. And maybe a page that gives options, and info.
But for a dollar, this is 100% worth it. And who knows? Maybe an update will come out with some or all of these requests.

Interesting idea, bizarre use of iPhone, not for musicians
I got this app because I thought it might be a cool way to learn harmonica. It is a cool concept I must admit, but there isn't any instruction on how a harmonica is played. I guess I could just look this up on the internets (that's right all of 'em) but I would like to see
some sort of description in the app (like maybe an info page).
Another issue I have with this app is the lack of ability to change the key. The description does say 10 hole diatonic sampled harmonica (which the sound is very real), but it never says anywhere what key it is in, nor can you change it (i guess this makes sense considering it is sampled and it keeps the file size down but still). Once again the key is easy to figure out on my own (it is D Major) or on the app website FAQ, but there isn't a link to the FAQ from the harmonica app. Being a musician, it is an important thing for me to know the key and it would be nice to be able to change it.
I have to say that the creators of Harmonica did do a great job of not trying to market the Harmonica as a way to learn the Harmonica.
Finally the way a person "plays" the harmonica is cool use of the technology, and to be honest I was really curious how this worked, but after trying it I got a little grossed out.
Summary: Don't get this if you want to learn Harmonica or are grossed out by puting your iPhone in your mouth.

Way cool
Sometimes less is more, great app!
I really enjoy it
It is fun but what are the buttons for?? Please explain and look forward to an update
Awesomeness!!!!
My friends and family are amazed when I turn my iPhone on its side and start blowing out a tune. One of the best aps to date (and I have a lot). Great price- would have paid more!
Lots of fun!
Even if you've never played one before, you'll end up have plenty of fun wasting your time with this app
Excellent
At 59p this app is fantastic. I'm probably the least musically talented person you'll ever come across so to say I actually play a tune would be streatching the truth somewhat. However I'm told it's easier on the ears than the guitar app!
Many laughs and even some looks of amazement. Like I said fantastic at 59p

Good but needs a tune up
This has gotten better the more I play with it. Lots of fun and really amazes other people!
Would be really great if you could do vibrato on this. Also, a function for changing the key would be most useful.
Sound is a bit scratchy, especially when "blowing".
