Buyer beware ### 4/5 — Good app *2023-07-23, version 3.0* Worth a try ### 4/5 — I *2023-06-21, version 3.0* CI don’t ### 4/5 — good options, too fast *2020-10-31* There is a nice selection of music, and the visualization is terrific. It would be nice if the user could control the tempo a little. Slowing down the songs at first would help. ### 4/5 — Following songs works great! *2020-10-27, version 3.0* Bought this to learn some new songs on my real harmonicas, and it works really well for that. My only suggestion would be an option to change the speed of song playback when you’re first learning a new one, but other than that, I’m really liking this app so far! ### 5/5 — Harp !!! *2020-01-05, version 3.0* Hab diese App schon seit meinem 4s, alt aber total gut. Klang 1a und Optik extra super. ### 5/5 — harmonica *2019-07-05, version 3.0* great ### 5/5 — Copywriter *2019-06-25, version 3.0* Fabulous lovely intuitive ! Pleased to see Away In A Manger , simple songs hymns but they stay with you . A great app with super features . Do you want my songs ? Are there any more apps from yourselves? Andrew , UK ### 5/5 — Pure fun *2018-12-24* I had the original, this is even better....being able to enter your own songs either manually or scanning would be perfect! ### 3/5 — Good *2018-06-13, version 3.0* Manjunathan ### 5/5 — Nice harmonica app *2018-05-25, version 3.0* I’m sure I will learn how to play now. ### 5/5 — Low tech, high impact! *2018-02-06* There are a million apps more technically savvy than this one, but nothing wows a crowd like pulling out your phone and busting into a harmonica solo! Thanks a ton for revising the app. It’s still the Number One audience favorite! ### 5/5 — Falta atualizar o app *2018-01-07, version 2.4.1* Falta atualizar o app ### 2/5 — Meh! *2013-12-26, version 2.4.1* I've been playing harmonica for about 25 years, off and on. This app is kind of a good idea but doesn't model any of the playing features of a real harmonica, it is vastly less intuitive than the real instrument and has the thin tinny tone that is the hallmark of the toy instruments that cost the same as the app. Do yourself a favour, if you want to play harmonica, buy a harmonica. ### 5/5 — Thé best *2013-06-20, version 2.4.1* Acheter des chansons et enregistrer serait un plus excellent mais devrait avoir un choix par niveau de débutant à difficile ### 5/5 — It is a good game *2013-06-18, version 2.4.1* This is the best harmonica game. ### 5/5 — Love love love *2012-12-23* I love this app it is just like a real harmonica! My bro and sis both have harmonicas and now I can join them in playing!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Horrible *2022-10-26, version 3.0* This game is super hard and it keeps going so I’m never going to learn how to play the harmonica (p.s I have to pay ### 1/5 — Can’t slow the songs down *2022-01-24* Everything plays at top speed and my little boy can’t keep up. He was so excited to learn to play his harmonica and this would be great if you could choose the speed. As it is, it’s just frustrating. ### 1/5 — Meh *2019-03-17, version 3.0* Not worth it ### 1/5 — Pas bon *2012-12-09, version 2.4.1* Vraiment inutile ### 1/5 — Poor *2012-02-21, version 2.4.1* I play harp and got this hoping to use it electronically. It sounds rubbish. Ok you can learn how to play. BUT you are better off buying a real harp. The Marine Band is the worlds greatest cheapest musical instrument, bend them notes. X ### 1/5 — Zero pointe *2011-03-19, version 2.4* Totalement nul et en plus payant. Cette appli n'est pas du tout fait pour quelqu'un qui aime ou pratique l'harmonica. Javais espere trouver quelque chose de sympa mais rien ne vaut un vrai harmonica. Lappli est nul ### 1/5 — Not great *2011-01-30, version 2.4* For 59p you can't expect a lot but this is dull and not great ### 1/5 — Pocas canciones conocidas. *2010-08-31, version 0* Pocas canciones conocidas y reproducidas a una única velocidad. Ojalá permitan agregar midis y aprender cualquier canción. De momento le doy solo un punto por la escasez de canciones que me gusten. ### 1/5 — My money! *2010-08-18, version 0* This is not harmonica sound. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2010-08-02, version 0* Unresponsive and completely unlike a real harmonica ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Clear interface and plenty of beginner tunes *2024-10-17, version 3.0* A nicely designed app with everything you need to get started with harmonica. Worth the price. ### 5/5 — The best haronica app 🌟 *2023-06-12* 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 😆 ### 5/5 — Das ist genau das Spiel das ich für Mundharmonika Gesucht habe *2023-04-17, version 3.0* Unglaubliches spiel sage ich mal… am Anfang hab ich gedacht es wäre nur so Billigkram ich hab wirklich nichts besseres erwartet es ist unglaublich ich hatte nichts anderes sagen können. ### 5/5 — Great app *2022-11-09* Please allow Auto Replay - easy for beginners to repeat the practice. ### 5/5 — Excellent Learning App *2021-07-10* I’ve used this app on/off for several years, am really glad they’ve updated it to keep up with tech trends. It’s a wonderful app! Maybe someday you’ll add to your library of songs :) ### 5/5 — Harmonica *2021-03-02, version 3.0* One of the most original apps out there, discovered it 10 years too late...highly recommended even just for entertainment value alone it’s worth the price!!! ### 5/5 — 🔥🔥🔥 *2020-09-03, version 3.0* I’m enjoying it. I plugged it up to my 18 inch sub woofer and wow speaker 🔊 Booooms It sounds So Good. Plenty Of Reggae Bass Rhythms ### 5/5 — Heavydjb *2020-06-29, version 3.0* Great tool ### 5/5 — Fun, ingenious, musical. *2020-06-24, version 3.0* Clever developer. Well done! I shall never be a Sonny Terry or even Bob D, but I got music immediately from my iPhone with this app. And being able to pick any key is an amazing improvement on carrying a jangling heap of blues harps for every eventuality. I guess, also, that players with respiratory issues could find this a help. ### 5/5 — Good app *2020-01-07* Nice and helpful for beginners! You can play in all keys and it has draw and bend notes too --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
