### 2/5 — This could’ve been one of the first eight bit apps on apple

*2021-08-29*

This could of had a lot of potential but like one of the reviews it could’ve been a lot better you could’ve had more notes and options that’s all I have to say it’s a good app overall but another thing is that when you put on the notes it was a little too quickly that’s all

### 3/5 — Pretty crappy

*2021-08-18*

Wanted to try playing some undertale music but this only has one scale. I can’t find any other apps similar that are free and I’m kinda disappointed now :(

### 3/5 — Great but need some additions

*2021-05-19*

This app is great for listening to a but sounds from music but it could use some additions for example some 8-bit forgotten drums I mean put percussion drums I’m sorry if I keep getting that wrong I am and also some other eight bit instruments that would be a great addition to this app all and I do have to agree with all the other agrees all the other reviews about the keys please add more keys thank you for this app

### 4/5 — One octave?

*2021-05-19*

My name is Kate and I play piano. I wanted to play a video game song on an 8-bit piano, so I downloaded this! It’s pretty great other than just having one octave. In the future I hope for another octave update! Thanks!

### 2/5 — Hopefully more to come...

*2020-07-31*

I downloaded this. Happy with the sound but that all there is. One sound. One octave. C to C.  I really would like a choice between square and plus. Also if it could be used in GarageBand that would be a game changer. Hoping for more to come so I can improve my rating and review.

### 4/5 — Love the game but

*2020-07-17*

Love the game don't get me wrong but it doesn't  have enough notes so i can only play small songs if you can change that I'd gladly appreciate it

### 2/5 — A bit small

*2020-07-14, version 1.2*

Not many keys, also it doesn’t fit on my screen

### 2/5 — Okay but could be much better

*2018-10-21*

I saw this app whilst browsing the App Store, my 8 bit music curiosity got the best of me and I got that. When I opened the app it crashed. After a few tries it worked and I was in. The piano did have the bit music like promised, but it had such a low variety of notes. The piano only let me use one low note scale.

### 4/5 — Not Too Shabby

*2018-09-22*

Works pretty well and like it’s supposed to. Only few issues with response and consistency but brings back nostalgic vibes.

### 4/5 — Great Idea!

*2018-07-06*

I’ve been looking for something like this for a while and it works really good. Some suggestions are that you definitely need more keys or a scroll option. And another idea is that you could have more sound effects from different video game eras. But all in all a very nice free app, just needs more to it. 👍

### 4/5 — Simple enough

*2018-06-03, version 1.2*

Too bad the black keys are hard to hit without also hitting the keys next to it.

### 3/5 — The keys

*2018-05-13*

Look I get that we’re using mobile to use this but you seriously need to add more keys or just add a scroll option so you can get more keys cause it’s really bugging me that I can’t play my favorite songs with only a few keys. Thank you.

### 4/5 — Pretty good!

*2017-08-20, version 1.2*

It works great, But could use some more keys

### 1/5 — this has bothered me since q1 2018

*2023-06-06, version 1.3*

only one octave??? why???

### 1/5 — Ridiculous

*2022-01-18, version 1.2*

One word: rubbish. Within minutes you will delete it

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2020-05-12*

It’s terrible. The only reason I got this app was to play cool 8-Bit songs but you can’t move the screen up the piano or down I don’t care if no-one agrees with me it’s just a opinion

### 1/5 — Not good for music making

*2018-10-29*

It is very bad for actual music making. It has no percussion(8-bit drums) and only has one octave of notes. For those who don’t know music, that means only form C to C. It doesn’t allow for recording of your songs either. It is just way too basic for it to be useful

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2018-10-20, version 1.2*

Doesn’t even work. I open the app. Crashes.

### 1/5 — So what am I supposed to do?

*2018-09-23*

If only the app wouldn’t crash... I’ve even turned off my phone and used the app suggestion in the home menu to open this app and it still crashes! I would really like to see how this app really runs.

### 1/5 — There is no sound

*2018-09-18, version 1.2*

Why is there no sound

### 1/5 — Gay

*2018-08-03, version 1.2*

It won’t even let me start the game I press it and it crashes

### 1/5 — Can’t hear anything

*2018-06-29, version 1.2*

I am sorry but when I used this app I heard nothing I was just pressing keys and nothing happened sorry

### 1/5 — CRASHES

*2017-01-01, version 1.2*

Crashes on launch. Don't waste your time and/or storage on this

### 5/5 — 8bit piano

*2021-07-19*

I can’t delete this

### 5/5 — 2 STARS WHAT THE?!?

*2021-05-27*

This game is great for making music and I don’t really see anything worth hating on

### 5/5 — Very Good App

*2020-07-06, version 1.2*

It’s great for making Music! Just made my first piece. It’s an 8 Bit Remix of The Piggy Theme! I’m just about to upload it on my YouTube Channel. (Channel is called “Memorie__”)

### 5/5 — Good

*2020-05-18*

It’s a decent simple app I can’t believe how many people are saying it’s bad

### 5/5 — Pretty cool!

*2018-07-14*

I’m not sure why everyone is saying it crashes because it doesn’t for me. Is it because I have a iPhone 8?

### 5/5 — Don’t listen to the haters

*2018-01-31*

Don’t listen to the haters they just don’t know how to get around there problems like me for instance every time I go to open the app it crashes but then I close my phone go to Siris suggestions open the app in there and it works. What I am saying is there is a lot of people out there who this app so keep it going. I’d like to see this make it.   👍

### 5/5 — Fun to play with!

*2015-09-10, version 1.2*

Simple and fun!

### 5/5 — Get it!!

*2015-09-01, version 1.2*

This is an awesome piano an I will definitely use it a lot!
