Really fun, and such a pretty sound!

Nice job on the latest version! I like the way the autoharp is now positioned against a background because when it previously filled the screen I ran into frequent trouble with accidentally swiping the app away when strumming. 😂 Now I have a little room to overshoot. Also the gear icon no longer gets in the way. Well done! I have a lot of fun with this app. It makes a lovely sound, natural enough to record with, even, and it’s addictive to fidget with. I’ve also learned a lot from it in terms of chord transitions and tritone substitutions. I also LOVE that this FREE app is NOT collecting any of my personal data! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🤗💕

Absturzgefahr…aber sonst toll.

Ich habe sie geliebt und oft benutzt, mit eigenen Tunings versehen etc. Aber jetzt kam der Absturz. Die App ließ sich nicht mehr öffnen.🤔Neustart nix genutzt. Also dout, der Vogel…🫣.
Bei der Neuinstallation gehen alle Custombemühungen perdue.
Schade. Für den professionellen Einsatz mir jetzt zu heikel.
Bitte mehr Stabilität! Dann 5 Sterne.

chord buttons way too hard to control

not sure if the chord buttons are not well supported on size of iphone 12 pro max but impossible to play this with any accuracy☹️

Too limited

The least I would have expected would be for major and minor chords to be available in all 12 keys, this is pretty useless musically

Amazingly expressive and richer sounds but no integration

I’ll give this five stars if it had any way of being able record the audio in GarageBand as an audio unit or in Audiobus.

Really rich and full sounds and fully customisable. So for example I created a customer set of chords for the circle of fifths.
