### 3/5 — Not bad

*2022-10-19*

I use the free version with some of the other instrument apps from this company.  It's pretty good.  The notes are an octave higher. Not sure why.

### 1/5 — Glitchy horibble app

*2020-03-30*

Major bugs

### 4/5 — Great app

*2019-08-26, version 4.3.0*

I just started using the app. I found it pretty user friendly for just starting to use it. Everything seems to work. No issues so far.

### 5/5 — Cool!! 👍😎😎😎

*2017-07-27, version 3.2.0*

This app is simple, but effective. I can have hours of fun with this violin app. However maybe make the other skins free. But other than that the app is great.

### 1/5 — Rip Off

*2015-10-13, version 3.2.0*

Bought it out right and now it's trying to extort money from me to remove adverts. The adverts railroad you to in app purchases in ITunes when you try to press the cross to close them. Garbage like this is the reason why iTunes have got it so wrong after the demise of Steve Jobs. I would give this app a negative 5 rating if we're actually possible.

### 1/5 — Bought In-App add-ons, but never delivered

*2015-10-10, version 3.2.0*

I bought the "No ads" and "All tunings" add-ons to Fiddle Companion Sept. 2015, got my Apple receipt, but they weren't installed. 3 emails to the developer Infinaut support group went completely unanswered. I had to get a refund from Apple after 3 weeks.

### 1/5 — Not much here

*2015-08-05*

There are better tuners out there, and that’s about all the free app is. I don’t get enough of a feel to want any in-app purchases. It’s already off my iPad.

### 5/5 — Great design and functionality

*2015-07-30*

Does everything I want it to

### 2/5 — Trash

*2014-07-21, version 3.2.0*

This is an cool app in all but all you do is just listen last time used I fell a sleep for a long distance.Zzzzzz..

### 5/5 — Al

*2014-02-27*

Real cool, very easy to use.  I like the scales.
