Great app

I cant figure out how to play the lower strings. I can only play about 26 strings.. And if you're having issues hearing press the music or square button on the top right corner

Pretty Good

Great 7-octave range and authentic sound. To improve it, I would've liked a transpose function and a midi output so that it can be edited easily in GarageBand or other DAW. I have a 12-note scale which I can play on my guitar but to play it on the app requires too much precision and digital dexterity. A simple note-mapping addition would've been a great work-around. However, all in all, an excellent app.

Great product

I only wish a feature could be added that would allow a person to simply strum the strings and it play just the chord instead of every note on the harp. Most guitar programs will allow you to play either individual notes or chords. I have a tendency to fat finger the strings resulting in bad chords. I would also be willing to pay a lot more for a product that would do that:)
Overall......great tone and fantastic program.

Love it!

I've never touched a harp, didn't even know about them until Dog Days came out. So I went searching for one. Of course, real harps cost a lot, so I decided to check on the app store...
I can safely say this is the best one out there. Others may have added features, but I believe this one has the best sound, and it also has the flats and sharps!
If you're good at playing the piano, give it a go. I can play most of the ones I know on this app now, and it sounds wonderful!

I can't HEARRRR you!

Ok, this app looked like it would be great but looks are almost always deceiving in the world of iPad applications. There is little to no volume coming from the harp when played, and that's even after hooking it up to a powered speaker. Not cool.
