### 5/5 — This is a real Xylophone.

*2026-06-17*

Can you please add D7-F7 and A1-B1 for more music

### 3/5 — Recordings

*2021-10-07*

Would be nice if you could record and keep a file copy..

### 5/5 — Works so good

*2021-02-07*

Thank you very much for the update last year. It wasn’t work for my phone properly, so I had deleted it a couple of years ago.
But now, I again tried it and because of your last update, it works perfectly fine now :)
Cheers ;)

### 1/5 — Total Rubbish

*2020-05-07*

Every time I try to play a note the app minimises and I'm back to the home screen, pretty useless if it won't stay open. Try to get support and it's a Twitter page, well I'm not on Twitter. Complete waste of money !

### 3/5 — More guidance and info needed

*2020-03-24*

Names of specific instrument timbres should show when they are selected
Bell icon?? Can figure out what it is there for. Maybe hover over info?
Good sound, little delay with aural feedback.
👍🏻

### 2/5 — Update crash

*2019-07-15*

### 4/5 — Back from the Dead!

*2019-07-13*

First update in over 6 years. It hasn't even been compatible with the last couple of versions of iOS. Looking forward to giving this another bash.

### 1/5 — Just crashes
