### 3/5 — iPhoneを機種変更したら

*2013-03-27, version 2.3.2*

iPhone4から5に機種変更したところアプリの画面のハンドルが半透明になって、動かなくなりました。ダウンロードし直しても治りません。傾きよりハンドルの方が演奏し易いので修復お願いします。

### 1/5 — The physics make it very difficult

*2012-06-24*

I consider this purchase to have been a waste. The physics make it very difficult. Wish I could get my money back.

### 4/5 — 傾きがよくも悪くも。

*2011-08-21, version 2.3.1*

なかなか面白い音を奏でられるアプリなのですが、指位置がしっかりできても、左右の傾きの微妙な差が音程に影響してしまうため、よくも悪くも演奏何度が上がります。ビブラートは簡単にかかるのでイイですが、セッションなどでは苦戦します。傾き音程ロック機能があったらなあと思いました。

### 5/5 — Great Program

*2011-01-27*

A fun and enjoyable thermin simulator. Great use of  the accerometer.

### 5/5 — Excellent, and worth the upgrade!  :)

*2010-10-13*

One of the most expressive and useful of the instrument apps for live performance.  :)
