This type of accordion plays different notes on the push or pull of the bellows. 

To switch between bellows push and pull, just touch anywhere in bellows or bass side. Touch to switch to push notes, lift to switch to pull notes.

### 1/5 — No good

*2020-12-05*

App doesn’t work

### 1/5 — Not Worth It

*2015-04-06*

The app was better before they had the update for it. The update added the bass buttons and completely changed the way the app looked, sounded, and took away options you had with the old version. The old version was WAY better because it sounded like actual accordions and you could go from a C accordion to a D accordion. You also had the option to have it Wet or Dry tuned. Was it worth it then, YES!! Is it worth it now, NO!!! I think they should bring back the old version because it looks more like a Cajun accordion, sounds like one, and you have more options with it.

### 1/5 — Not Recommended

*2014-12-15*

Buttons are too close together to play on a phone. Does sound like one but I'd invest two dollars towards the real thing

### 5/5 — Useful little app

*2014-10-29*

I was interested in purchasing a one row melodeon to play Polkas on, but I was unsure how they are played. I decided to look for a melodeon app that I could use to familiarize myself with a real melodeon, and to see if I could port my piano knowledge to a melodeon. It turns out that melodeons are both easier, and funner to play than pianos. This app has very good sound quality, and I highly recommend you get this app if you are thinking about getting a melodeon in the key of C. It is very easy to both sound out, and improvise polkas on the melodeon.

### 1/5 — C'est trop petit

*2013-05-02*

Small buttons, doesn't sound like my Cajun accordion, not worth the dollar

### 1/5 — Cadien

*2013-03-22*

Having played Cajun accordion for over a decade, I can say this app sounds almost nothing like a Cajun accordion. Don't waste the buck. By the way, it's spelled 'Zydeco.'

### 5/5 — Pretty Sweet!

*2013-01-22*

I really like this app. I'm an accordion player and don't have any experience with button accordions but this app is a great beginning to understand the layout and how it's played. Now I really want to buy the real thing haha Cheers!!

### 4/5 — Cool Accordion App

*2011-03-27*

This is a pretty cool accordion app that sounds exactly like a real button accordion. Buttons are small though.

### 3/5 — Buttons too small for iPhone

*2011-03-26*

Pretty nice, but I found it hard to do much on the iPhone. Maybe better on a bigger screen.

### 5/5 — Cajun Accordeon

*2011-03-07*

Awesome Cajun accordeon! Can be tuned wet or dry in C or D.  Full single row board.
