### 5/5 — Wowsers

*2022-12-17, version 1.10.1*

That made such a difference,  I was starting to bend but it was uncontrolled and sketchy, within a few minutes of using the app my 4 draw bend started to level out, rather than it wondering around…it’s very useful to have a visual feedback…now I just to practice for a couple of hundred hours lol

Buy it!

### 5/5 — Super App

*2022-03-03*

Die App ist spitze. Damit kann man wirklich sein Bending verbessern und gut trainieren. Man sieht sofort , wo der Ton hinläuft. Einziger Nachteil: die Werbung ist absolut nervtötend. Bitte lieber ein paar Euro als Bezahlung nehmen und dann das ganze ohne Werbung!

### 5/5 — Terrific app

*2022-02-14, version 1.10.0*

Works great! I would a fee pay to remove the ads.

### 5/5 — Very pleased

*2022-01-16, version 1.10.0*

Excellent free version. I would pay for a version with tabs

### 5/5 — Great app

*2021-10-23, version 1.8.3*

This app is great for people trying to understand and learn the diatonic harmonica. 

I would definitely pay if there was an option to remove the adds.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2021-09-03, version 1.8.2*

I’d pay to remove the advertising.  Other than that it’s great.

### 5/5 — How did people learn harmonica before this?

*2021-02-09, version 1.8.0*

Incredibly useful.  Very well designed.

I want to pay you money for this.  Happy to pay 5$ not to see ads and support maintenance of the app.

### 1/5 — Does not work at all !!!

*2020-08-12, version 1.6.3*

Save yourself the trouble complete waste of time...

### 2/5 — MAJ

*2021-05-09*

Depuis la nouvelle mise à jour, des bugs: ne détecte pas le son de l’harmonica. Fonctionnait très bien jusqu’à présent...

**Developer response:** Thank you for the bug report, and I'm sorry to give you trouble.
Could you please try deleting and reinstalling this app, if you haven't tried that?
Thank you.

### 2/5 — Not for practicing scales

*2020-10-04, version 1.7.3*

I was looking for something to practice my blues and wanted to have feedback on how accurate the notes were as I practice the whole scale. On this App I could only find how to do one or two notes at a time. I used to use Bendometer but it seems to have gone.

### 2/5 — Ok no way to remove ads

*2020-06-16, version 1.6.1*

Works just so-so contains ads with no way to remove them. Apple needs to start requiring apps that have ads to state it in the description

### 2/5 — pas d’overnotes... dommage

*2019-11-17*

Application simple a utiliser. mais ne prends pas en charge les orvernotes.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review.
I release a new version 1.6.0. It has an over-bending trainer.
Please try it. Thank you.

### 4/5 — Good

*2024-10-08, version 2.0.3*

Very helpful, cheers 😁

### 4/5 — It’s great.

*2023-01-24, version 1.10.1*

I’d like to pay to remove ads, hence four stars.

### 4/5 — Amazing, just offer paid version with no ads

*2021-04-28, version 1.8.0*

Absolutely amazing app. The only knock I have on it is that I would like to pay money to remove the ads

### 4/5 — Note bending

*2021-01-21, version 1.7.3*

This App has helped me greatly as I was trying to bend my notes by ear and within a day I improved my bending.

### 4/5 — Remove ads?

*2020-06-16, version 1.6.1*

I wish I could purchase an ad-free version. The ads alone keep me from giving this 5 stars. Other than that, it’s a great app.

### 5/5 — Fantastic! At last!!!

*2025-12-08, version 2.3.3*

If you’re working on bending notes for blues harp, you NEED this app. It is perfect. You can work on any bendable hole on any diatonic harmonica, and it will show whether you’re hitting the bend or missing. I strongly encourage you to pay the $4.99 for the plus upgrade. It’s well worth it! But if you can’t afford it or are just cheap, this free app works fine.

### 5/5 — Very Helpful. Great App

*2025-07-01, version 2.3.2*

I had watched so many videos of people explaining how to bend notes. I tried for weeks with no consistent results. I downloaded this app expecting the same result. Within 5 minutes of using this app I was seeing results, and within an hour I had it figured out. Very helpful, easy to use  and having immediate visual feedback was awesome.

### 5/5 — Great tool

*2025-02-23, version 2.2.0*

Great tool for practice. Now I’m not practicing in the dark.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2025-02-20, version 2.2.0*

Nice app to have

### 5/5 — Think different. Not only for bending

*2025-02-08*

This App bends your mind away. Most useful tool in my pocket.
Not only for banding practice but also for viewing all single notes in different keys on different harmonicas.
This makes playing with band easy.

### 5/5 — I love this app

*2025-02-05, version 2.1.0*

It makes it easy to see and hear how bends work. And it’s great for finding what notes are where on a harmonica in the tablature charts. This is a work of love. Thank you to the author. Domo arigato!

### 5/5 — THE BEST

*2024-08-14*

The best app to try Harp bendings and other resources for music and musicians. Thank you

### 5/5 — For learning bending real good

*2024-08-09*

A real good app if you want to learn tune bending on the harmonica. Thanks a lot!

### 5/5 — Simple and Straightforward

*2024-06-08, version 2.0.1*

It’s June 2024 and I just recently discovered this app. I was able to start applying it immediately, because of the common sense, simple and straightforward setup. 

I consider myself a newby, but have already come to the conclusion that one needs to learn and understand the basics of harmonica tuning prior to diving into the frustrating abyss of practicing overdraw technique - not an easy task on often out-of-tune out-of-the-box harps. 

I recommend this app to anyone, interested in mastering the basics of melody playing and blues practice, requiring overdrawing and, later on, overblowing. 

Happy to have discovered you!!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2024-01-30, version 1.11.3*

Great and simple app. Really helpful for learning harmonica techniques.
