Awesome Pan App!
Glad they made it free so that I could try it out. Everything seems to be functioning ok and I have not gotten any of the problems others have been experiencing - guess they fixed them. The notes sound very authentic and I even played a tune for my friends and they could not believe that it was an app and not a real steelpan!

Has promise
Some of the note samples are a bit dodgy (especially in the basses, which sound very inconsistent between consecutive tones). The app is fussy about where you tap - you get no sound at all if you aren't in the centre of the note. And it seems to have problems playing chords using multitouch.
That said, most of the samples have a nice ring, and it's great to have a range of pan types to play. What I'd *really* love would be an option to just show an individual drum, so that you could split a double tenor across two iPads, for example (or split the basses across 6, if you can lay your hands on enough iPads...)

No different to any other steel pan app
Saw this posted by a friend on Facebook. Figured I'd try it as it was new. The choice of pans is nice but the four-pan layout is wrong and I can't find the 'Access' feature the app claims which was my main reason for downloading. There are so many tunes that I hear on pan in my head but if this feature had worked, would have allowed me to hear them for real. It needs tweaks. I'm not going to run it down, I'd like to see if the app's creators can sort the blips and review it again in a couple of months. :-)
