What's New in Harmonica

3.0

February 11, 2019

This update from Apple will improve the functionality of this app. No new features are included. Thank you to everyone who emailed asking about the future of Harmonica. I likely wouldn’t have updated the app without your messages of encouragement. I hope you love this new update. So, What’s New? — Everything! • Striking new interface design. • Higher-quality audio. New harmonica samples were recorded for this version. • Bend control. On a real harmonica you can “bend” notes by drawing harder than normal. On the app, you can now achieve this by using the bend control to lower the pitch of the current note. • Start and stop songs from the harmonica screen, without having to return to the menu. • Support for all the latest iOS devices and technologies, including iPad multitasking. On iPad you can view harmonica tabs in Safari while using the Harmonica app on the other side of the screen. ---------- Thank you again for your kind support. If you love this update, please leave a short review. If there’s something you would like to see in Harmonica, please get in touch! Just tap the “Email Us” button in the app to reach me.

A warning of sorts

Warning: This app only has public domain songs, that DON’T sound good on harmonica. Buyer beware

Clear interface and plenty of beginner tunes

A nicely designed app with everything you need to get started with harmonica. Worth the price.

Good app

Worth a try

CI don’t

The best haronica app 🌟

This app is one of the original harmonica apps. It has always worked beautifully. They regularly update and improve it. I have had great fun and learn so much with it.

Not to mention, it freaks people I meet out, when I give them my IPhone music demo, when they think I’m blowing into my iPhone and playing harmonica lol 😆
