User reviews

Won't Play on IPhone 5

This use to be my go to IPhone music app. Now I use pianist and harmonica.

The developer is too dumb for words They have not done an update since 2009.

If they Simply did an update and charged a dollar they would be millionaires overnight because it's a good app.

If u a dev and looking for a simple money maker. These guys just gave you a clear shot.

See my old 5 star review below:

Best thing since sliced bread

Works like it says. Sounds great! I played taps like when I was in the Army. My son thinks it is amazing. I told him to tell his girl friend to try that on a Blackberry. LoL

I will buy your trumpet next, so I can play when the saint go marching in. ;-)

I'm in music heaven now
