Needs recording capability (and metronome)
It sounds good but I bought this app hoping I could paste files from it to GarageBand. Waste of money for me without that capability. Please add that on next update if there is one.
Not violín
I purchased this for violín but it is for chemo only. Yo need to purchase each instrument. You should be able to choose at beginning
For Violin Majors
Well I think this is the best app for Violin majorsss
MIDI IN PLEASE?
If this app could allow you to bow a sequence of notes coming in via MIDI it would be incredible. Imagine being able to articulate a MIDI recording with the bow while not having to try to play the notes at the same time which is extremely difficult. At least for me anyway. As it is at the moment, I can only really use the app to add some details to recordings using other apps to make their sampled or synthesised strings sound more realistic.

Gorgeous Tone and Bow Expression
The violin tone is UNREAL and bow expression is excellent. I’m impressed you can do detailed expressions like marcato, spicatto, and a crisp staccato. After several hours of practice, it genuinely sounds GOOD. Which is more than I can say for any other virtual strings library, which always leaves me cringing a little bit at the fake sound. Hard to put down, just want to keep playing!

Not what I expected :-/
This is not an app for musicians or educators… the layout of the violin fingerboard isn’t realistic. I expected that when pressing the fingerboard you would be able to hear sounds, but this doesn’t have that function. Also the fingerboard should have a custom setting option for the pitches that can be selected/played, but in this app, the pitches on the fingerboard are locked into fixed keys so notes are limited to one key. Very annoying. Please don’t waste your money on this. After purchasing it you will be prompted to spend additional $ on sounds which should have been included in the first purchase.

Not so great
Used it but the 3d bow and vibrato not working. Purchased now but no option to cancel the subscription. Waste of the purchase.
Good start, could be better
In terms of raw expressive power, FingerFiddle is quite powerful, certainly on par with SWAM instruments. For the price, it can’t be beaten. So it is a shame that, for all its good qualities, FingerFiddle is not on par with baseline standards for instrument apps. One thing that would drastically improve the quality of FingerFiddle is oversampling. Performing slow glissandi or sul ponticello on the high strings reveals the telltale “AM radio tuning” of aliasing distortion. This alone makes the app unsuitable for solo performances or any situation (effects, reverb) where the aliasing would increase. There is also the matter of control. Ideally, there would be some support for MIDI and MPE input AND output, possibly with each string allocated to its own channel. I also noticed that, though five-string basses are common for cinematic music and pops repertoire, no such option is available for the bass models. This is disappointing, though not as mission-critical as MIDI or sound engine improvements. Until these changes are implemented, this is a novelty, not a performance tool.

Awesome!
Amazing instruments and sounds with so much expressiveness and great value for money. Thankyou.
Any chance of midi in/out as an In App Purchase?

Realistic!!
I have iSymphonic and Garageband, but they don’t exactly give me much control, this app gave me so much more than any app could possibly give me! i wish the lower strings had a slightly higher quality though.
What a great app!
Is almost like playing a real violin.
I'm having so much fun messing with this ingenious app.

Muy mejorable
El sonido es interesante. Es muy complicada, poco intuitiva, no es nada fácil conseguir resultados razonables. Hay compras dentro de la app imprescindibles (sin las cuales no tiene utilidad) no estaban claras antes
Simply Smashing!!!
If the virtual stringed instrument industry is a competitive market, then developers beware! ‘Finger Fiddle’ has cornered the market FOR SURE! With a dynamic range of harmonic overtones FF is the closest thing to that beautiful cello or mournful viola solo this side of hiring YoYo Ma that you could ever hope to get. I’ve attempted to recreate these sounds in my studio via soundfonts, samples, and various VSTs for years. None of them comes even close to FF. Not in tonal quality. Not in depth of realism, and especially, and most refreshingly, not in price. If you’re a serious producer, musician, or even just someone curious to learn or play. I can’t thank the developers enough for this. And, my only feedback for the future would be to diversify into more instruments. Guitars, lap steels, mandolin, resonators, ukulele... even woodwinds, brass and percussion. I’d buy every app on its public release date! Thank you again for the remarkablly realistic and sonically stunning sound. I love it!!! And I love you!!! Cheers mates!

Pleasantly Suprised
I love this app. I’ve been on a quest for the perfect cello app. I bought iSymphonic which sounds phenomenal but doesn’t give you much control. Garageband has great string sounds and lots of options but again, you’re not actually playing cello. I almost bought one to learn on!
I gotta say tho, this cheap little app has some promise. Once you get the hang of it, it starts feeling like a real cello.
If anyone has any other cool cello/orchestral apps, let me know.

Super, mais...
Son assez réaliste avec un bon contrôle de l’archet, et la possibilité de tempérer les notes ou de jouer les micro-intervalles (et les fausses notes donc, comme sur un vrai violon).
Quelques points faibles :
- la fonction de vibrato, qui existe, mais pas accessible dans ma version (je ne sais pas pourquoi)
- les pizzicatos un peu décevants (manque de nuances)
- pas d’AUv3, donc impossible de créer un quatuor à cordes dans un séquenceur
- dommage qu’on ne puisse choisir l’orientation de l’archet (je préfèrerais des mouvements verticaux pour ma part)
***
Sounds realistic with a good bow control, and possibility to temperate the keys or to play micro-tuning (like on a real violin).
Some minor flaws :
- the vibrato is here but not activable (and i don’t know why)
- pizzicatos sound quite flat
- no AUv3 implementation, so we can’t emulate any string quartet in our DAW
- too bad we can’t set vertical moves for the bow (seem more natural than horizontal moves to me)

Sound of Music
This is brilliant app. Realistic sounds and get you started even if you know little and build your skills over a period of time and there are no limits.
Wish they could add fretless option and a few instruments like Indian Sarangi.

Eccellente App!
"I also think this app has great potential. I am excited by the physical modeling aspect of the sound and realistic bowing behavior".
Queste sono le parole espresse da Jesse Chappel (Sonosaurus), sviluppatore di ThumbJam e DrumJam sul forum di Audiobus.
Se lo dice un esperto come lui è sicuramente vero! Ed è un grande tributo da parte di uno che fa lo stesso mestiere e, fra l'altro, fra gli strumenti di ThumbJam, ha anche violoncelli e violini, ma sicuramente non all' altezza della bontà sonora e realistica di questa applicazione assolutamente magnifica.
Abbiamo tra le mani un vero strumento con una curva di apprendimento non facile. Ma ne vale assolutamente la pena metterci le mani sopra per imparare a fare qualcosa. La versione free ha il violoncello, ma anche tutti gli altri strumenti da poter provare prima dell'acquisto.
Questo il sorprendente risultato della modellazione fisica in poco più di 20MB!
Oltre che grande programmatore e ricercatore, Matthias è molto gentile e disponibile.
Grazie per questa Perla!
I Hey Matthias, many thanks for the update!
THE BEST APP EVER! ❤️🙏👋
I'm sure many are waiting for MIDI IN
Would be great! 👍

Awesumm app. Sounds so realistic.!!
Hey developer, this is an awesumm innovation. Please work on another instruments using the concept. The same technique can be used in Indian flute(Bansuri) & Harmonium. 😊🙂 Eagerly waiting for the release.
Genius
Amazingly thought out extremely expressive and innovative!! A rare thing to find in a myriad of imitators. Bravo !!!!
