Je connais pas bien les harmonium mais certains peuvent faire ça non? ### 3/5 — There is no slide to touch function *2022-10-21* Please enable slide to touch feature in this application. I should be able to press any keys by sliding my fingers on. It will make easier to play this instrument. also, please make this application compatible with the VoiceOver. Being a visually impaired, VoiceOver is necessary for me. ### 2/5 — No sustain override or bellows control *2022-01-23* Developer said he would add a permanent sustain override back in August and has not done so. There is no way to keep a note playing for more than a few seconds and no way to ‘pump the bellows’ so to speak. This is really limiting for functions like kirtan. If he adds this feature like he said he would, I will adjust my review. **Developer response:** Sorry for the delays. There are multiple changes being bundled together and before end of Q2, you will see new release(s) ### 2/5 — Sustain *2021-12-02, version 1.7* Not bad but one thing is missing…Please add sustain feature….atlst 1mints of sustain in every note.. ### 4/5 — Excellent app *2021-11-17* Good features and easy to use. Wish it had a full sustain - sustain the sound as long as key is pressed. This will help with vocal Riyaz. ### 5/5 — Excellent Harmonium App *2021-08-24* Harmonium Anywhere is an excellent app, and I use it frequently when I want to practice a new chant and my harmonium is out of reach. That said, there are a couple things that could make it a perfect harmonium app for me. One would be to have an option for notes to sustain rather than decay when a key is held down, as with a real instrument. The second change I would like would be to be able to set up a profile that I could go to rather than having to change magnification, turning off the reference note and key labels, choosing a different range of notes, etc. With these two changes, Harmonium Anywhere would be a perfect app and I would rate it at five stars!! ### 5/5 — Excellent *2021-08-08* This is just an amazing and excellent app for harmonium players and listeners and for those who want sur practice 🙏🙏🙏🌷🌷 ### 5/5 — Best app for Harmonium practice *2021-07-24* Simple and easy to use. Perfect ### 5/5 — Different instrument sounds *2021-06-21* Hi, This is a wonderful app and very easy to use. However after the update the different instrument sounds are not working. Can you please help me with this. **Developer response:** Initial release had only one instrument sound but later few sounds were added which didn’t go well along. An update is in plan to provide different flavours of harmoniums sounds. ### 5/5 — Good harmonium tunes *2021-04-17* I downloaded this app and sound quality is very good and I can carry anywhere to practice my skill only one question how options to mix other sound works second key from left on top menu bar it gives different numbers in help for explaining different mix but could not figure it out how to set help is appreciated **Developer response:** You can run other applications supporting background music and play this in foreground. Blue Button on the left is for sustain ### 4/5 — Very nice app. *2021-03-17* An excellent and a very handy app. ### 4/5 — Harmonium anywhere *2021-03-08, version 1.7* While playing with a midi iOS keyboard the volume controller does not work needs volume adjustment system. **Developer response:** In the settings switch off Play MIDI with full velocity. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — So Dissappointed *2025-02-01* I don’t understand the so many good reviews ???🧐!!! It’s so tough to play the keys and can’t have English a b c d with sa re ga ma together !! How is this good for learning ? The interface is uncomfy !!!Couldnt try it before buying saw the reviews and bought it it’s a very crude app …Definately not worth 499 !!! Would really like a refund please 🙏 **Developer response:** With all due respect, Everyone’s requirement is different. If you are dissatisfied, please don’t question reviews of others. I myself use all the time so it depends upon your expertise level. Please submit refund request to Apple directly. But if you want to share specific improvements that I do, please feel free to shop and drop email please. ### 1/5 — Can’t set *2024-07-08, version 1.8* Can’t set on one scale..not comfortable in playing ### 1/5 — Not satisfied. West of money. Return if possible. *2023-06-14* West of money **Developer response:** Please be specific and it will help making it better next time. ### 1/5 — Cannot find Loop Feature *2022-12-15* The Sound and Concept is good, but i cannot find the Loop Feature Anywhere. The Manual doesnt say anything about it, No Chance to contact the Developer via Mail. **Developer response:** Contact is on the homepage of developer website at the bottom, must have been deleted with last update. For loop you need to keep a note pressed forever ### 1/5 — App freezes *2022-11-09* The sounding of the app is beautiful. But harmonium is all about playing fast and chords. When I play fast or hold a chord, the app freezes and the sound gets struck. Had there been a free app with an in-app purchase, I would have avoided purchasing the app. But sadly you can test this app only after purchasing. By any chance is there a refund policy. ? ### 1/5 — Missing operating instructions *2021-09-11, version 1.7* No help centre or FAQ or any directions or demo on how to operate- especially difficult for novices ### 1/5 — Sound Issue *2021-07-29* Why does the sound keep on decreasing when we press the key. Isn’t there any way to keep the sound constant? **Developer response:** This behaviour is like real harmonium, but I agree an option is a good idea. Will add a feature with future updates. ### 1/5 — Good App but background activity drains battery *2020-12-08, version 1.5* I urge the developer to fix this issue. There is no reason for this app to have background activity. Just clean up resources when the app is not used. ### 1/5 — Dont waste your money *2020-10-25* Very unsatified. Not even harmonium sound ### 1/5 — Worst app *2020-10-15, version 1.5* Its a rip off, no harmonium sound in the app. Can't slide finger on keys. Poor sounds of some organ Its not even worth free but i paid 2dollars. DONT BUY IT. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing Companion App *2025-01-07* Close digital reproduction of sounds from harmonium reeds. The simplest and best harmonium app among all I have tried. Works seamlessly with iTablaPro Tanpura and Tabla playing simultaneously on the same iPad. My humble request to Ranjeet to please add Bluetooth MIDI connectivity. Thank you. **Developer response:** Thanks for sharing feedback, I have got a Bluetooth MIDI keyboard, was hard to get and I personally found very useful. By the way MKEYAIR25 from Korg (with its iOS app) make midi keyboard work out of the box with Harmonium anywhere. But I will add BT support within the app. ### 5/5 — Perfect for Riyaz. Although... *2024-12-10* I wanted and use the harmonium do do my Riyaz/abhyaas, and I find this app exceptionally good for the purpose! Only if the developer could add one more layer of zooming out, it would be ideal to play it seamlessly. I hope they will take a note **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback, could you drop an email please how would you like it to be? ### 5/5 — Easy to use and simple. works offline too: *2024-02-06* The app is really easy to use and works without internet too. We can slide thru’ octaves to choose the suitable one for us. Sustain feature is also available which is not available in any other app as far as I know. Over all a good app. ### 5/5 — Real Harmonium Sound *2023-07-30* Real harmonium sound , which I did not heard in any app ### 5/5 — I want slider touching feature if it possible *2022-10-29* I want to use slider touching feature.. so when I slide my finger one key to another without upping my finger…. music can still playing.. it’s easy to use for me one handed ### 5/5 — Issues with output *2022-08-25* After installing the app some settings got changed and no sound output is coming **Developer response:** Should not happen, sometimes due to bad audio graph state you may need to kill and restart. But if problem persist it could be device specific. feel free to drop detail email please ### 5/5 — Great app for vocal riyaz *2022-08-22* Most accurate sound among all ipad apps I've tested. Definately worth the money One suggestion: the devangiri notation should have matras instead of letters only. E.g. R should be Re, M should be Ma (I am unable to type this in devangiri so using the English equivalent) Good work ### 5/5 — Very useful *2022-06-27, version 1.8* Simple. Easy. Convenient. Very good for rehearsal ### 5/5 — fantastic *2022-02-12, version 1.7* please provide adjustable key size. ### 5/5 — Great job *2021-11-23* Thanks veerji for developing this app. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
