### 3/5 — Weird compression

*2024-06-06, version 1.2.5*

Thank you so much for the long awaited update! This is one of the very best acoustic piano apps available. It seems there is some strange compression and velocity response happening since the update, though. Can’t wait to be able to record with this fantastic app again soon. Please fix:) Thank you!

### 2/5 — No longer compatible with Auria & Audiobus

*2024-01-18*

The app, while playable on its own, seems to no longer connect with Auria or Audiobus and thus can’t be recorded in a DAW. These piano sounds are some of the very best, especially the jazz upright and tack pianos. I’ve relied on this app for many years as a professional player and producer and would love to be able to continue to use these incredible instruments. I’m very grateful for everything this app has made possible- please, please show it the love it deserves update it. Thank you kindly.

### 4/5 — Decent Piano

*2022-09-15, version 1.2.4*

Grand sounds good. Not so keen on the uprights. Useful tool.

### 3/5 — Updates??

*2022-07-10, version 1.2.4*

I don’t understand why the developer refuses to update this app. This is a fantastic app and it sounds marvelous. Many different pianos to choose from. This app is obviously severely out of date.. 6 years??? Really people??

### 4/5 — Was the first...

*2021-05-30, version 1.2.4*

...and was very good back in 2013. The new kids in town outshine it today with more dynamics. Still usable though, and sometimes fits just right in a dense mix.

### 4/5 — Good piano sound

*2020-08-14*

Really like this piano. Don’t bother with the IRig Pro keyboard they are plugging though - it has a rubbish velocity response and isn’t playable with any feeling - a waste of time and not real cheap.

### 3/5 — Great but

*2020-06-12, version 1.2.4*

1-lack of Audio unit extension 
2-Baby grand sound is very annoying, as if two pianos are playing at the same time
3-can not export saved songs as MIDI.

If those features are present, I will instantly buy the full app

### 2/5 — No midi export

*2020-04-20, version 1.2.4*

Nice sound and features but one cannot export the recordings in midi format, only audio.

### 2/5 — Timbre excelente/usabilidade terrível

*2018-12-07, version 1.2.4*

Os timbres são referência no ecossistema iOs, sem dúvida, mas esse aplicativo deixa muito a desejar no quesito de atualização. A interface é a mesma há anos, e os desenvolvedores não o reformulam pra dar suporte a novos formatos, novas maneiras de exportar o áudio, inclusive o processo de exportar é extremamente obscuro, não fica claro como funciona o Copy ou o File Sharing. E o processo de gravação também, é necessário ter muito cuidado pra não apagar algo sem querer, pois fica confuso onde se está salvando e se está sobrescrevendo algo. O deslizar pra cima dos últimos iOS que mostra o dock de apps sempre esbarra numa tecla do piano. E mesmo tendo comprado o app por dentro desse gratuito, o ícone não muda para a versão completa.

### 2/5 — Schön gestaltet, Sounds nicht überzeugend

*2018-07-28, version 1.2.4*

Schön gestaltete App, die Sounds aber haben mich persönlich nicht überzeugt. Klingt für meine Ohren zu künstlich.

### 3/5 — No tiene resonancia de cuerdas?

*2018-05-25, version 1.2.4*

No está mal el sonido pero hay que usar el modo ultralow latency para poder tocarlo con un teclado controlador, de lo contrario la latencia es muy perceptible.
Y luego no he percibido que tenga resonancia de cuerdas.. Quizas esperaba demasiado pero anunciándolo como tan bueno me ha parecido muy normalito. Yo sigo con los sonidos internos de mi piano. Creo que hay que tener un sonido interno muy malo para preferir tocar con esto.

### 2/5 — Amature Hour

*2017-10-17, version 1.2.4*

This app is unacceptable. The sound quality is excellent when it is not popping, distorting, or generally causing problems. This was the first piano app I bought and upgraded to Pro. I now use a compatitor’s piano app so that I don’t have to have my ear drums damaged from the noise it produces when you switch pianos. Please fix this. It could be a great product.

### 1/5 — Ability

*2024-06-09, version 1.2.5*

My name is Romanar and I want to unlock each instrument watching advertisements

### 1/5 — Sounds gut, aber Nutzung problematisch

*2024-03-02, version 1.2.4*

Ich habe sowohl die bezahlte (!) Version der Pianos als auch der ePianos auf dem iPad Pro (M1). Man kann wirklich viel einstellen, aber in der Praxis sind die Apps für mich nicht nutzbar, weil ich parallel noch ForScore für die Noten auf dem iPad nutze. Egal welches Instrument ich einstelle, sobald ich zu ForScore wechsele, sind die Einstellungen weg und die Apps laufen auf default (1. Instrument). Das passiert weder bei Korg Module, noch bei PurePiano. Trotz mehrfacher Kontaktaufnahme mit der Hotline im Vorfeld eines Konzerts keine Lösung. Daher on Stage im Kombibetrieb ungeeignet!

### 1/5 — Vorsicht ! Vollversion NICHT kaufen

*2023-11-04, version 1.2.4*

Ich habe die Vollversion gekauft, damit verändert sich aber haargenau gar nichts zur Free-Versionen. Die Instrumente werden dadurch NICHT freigeschaltet. Finger weg ! Abzocke !

### 1/5 — Péssimo

*2022-03-11, version 1.2.4*

Não dá nem para instalar!

### 1/5 — Abandoned

*2021-02-11, version 1.2.4*

A nicely sounding grand piano, albeit abandoned by its developer, no AU3 support, and strangely, if you get the IAP to the full app, you still don’t get Grand Piano, only the free edition.
Avoid it if you can.

### 1/5 — Error message to turn on mic in privacy setting.

*2018-12-03, version 1.2.4*

I have owned this app for several years having purchased all in-app options & have had very few problems until now.  I recently installed it on my 6th gen iPad and it gives me an error message upon opening that it does not have access to the audio input.  It does not provide the usual message ‘allow access to microphone’ so there is no way I can fix the error.  iGrand is not listed in Privacy->Microphone setting.  This also occurs with the iLectric app.  I can only assume that this is related to the newer iOS and the fact that this app hasn’t been updated in a very long time.  Resetting all settings does not fix the problem.  I have other older synth apps that installed fine.  Please fix!

### 1/5 — App mixes up notes from white and black keys

*2018-08-20, version 1.2.4*

Fairly useless if they key mapping is off

### 1/5 — Could you just fix the popping

*2018-02-16, version 1.2.4*

It would be the best piano app if you did this one simple thing, people shouldn’t have to go through that, especially if they did in app purchases

### 1/5 — Don't see the in app purchase

*2017-01-28, version 1.2.4*

The app doesn't show the additional instruments after purchase. It keeps saying purchase restored but I don't see any additional instruments. Please help.

### 1/5 — App crashes.

*2016-12-26, version 1.2.4*

I would probably like it if I could get it to open.

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2023-01-14, version 1.2.4*

Hello, I’m a user of iGrand Piano! This game is amazing in so many ways! I was able to learn Beethoven and P!nk songs with this app, and it’s been a great experience! The only problem I have is that it hasn’t been updated in… 7 yrs?! That’s my only problem, it could use some refurbishment,  but other then that, it’s a 10/10 for me!

### 5/5 — Amazing and wishing for a Christmas discount for the full version

*2021-11-17, version 1.2.4*

I used it with my iPad and the sound quality is fantastic, I just wished there would be a Christmas discount soon. Plus there are some audio issue when playing for a long time.

### 5/5 — Super

*2021-03-12, version 1.2.4*

Hepsini satin aldim muhtesem irigkey’e bagladim

### 5/5 — De los mejores sonidos de piano

*2020-07-26, version 1.2.4*

Tiene los mejores sonidos de piano comparada con otras apps. El ajuste de MIDI de nivel, velocidad y canal funciona muy bien. responde al toque de velocidad perfecto ( para tocar piezas clásicas o rápidas sin efecto de latencia).  Los 3 pianos de inicio de la version gratis muy buenos, creo vale la pena animarse por la version de pago.

### 5/5 — Ottimo e gratuito se avete dei prodotti ikMultimedia

*2020-07-11, version 1.2.4*

Registrando un’interfaccia audio della stessa marca ho avuto la piacevole sorpresa di vedere sbloccate tutte le ottave e 3 suoni di pianoforte. 
Il suono è fantastico e i controlli sufficienti per avere dall’attacco corto del piano blues al sustain infinito della musica ambient. Molto ben fatto, unico neo i prezzi un po’ alti degli expansion packs che difficilmente acquisterò.

### 5/5 — Great app. Worth it!

*2020-05-24, version 1.2.4*

I no longer have a physical piano or keyboard.
However, with this app, I have lost nothing, but even gained more music practice at my own convenience. I am sure I’ll achieve my goal of sight reading with this app. I love it. 👍🏾

### 5/5 — Ottima

*2020-03-06, version 1.2.4*

La migliore app sulla piazza per suono e controlli.
Aggiungerei la possibilità di poter agire con modifiche su singole note e su dinamica dopo la registrazione.

### 5/5 — Every thing works okay now.

*2018-11-16, version 1.2.4*

Thanks.

### 5/5 — U

*2018-11-11*

This game is cool

### 5/5 — Sempre 5 stelle!

*2017-05-30, version 1.2.4*

Dopo tanto tempo sento il dovere di modificare la mia recensione... dunque, torno a ripetermi sul fatto che Ik Multimedia è sempre una garanzia ma se vogliamo fare un prodotto al top, ancora un piccolo sforzo si potrebbe fare, altrimenti andiamo in concorrenza in casa, col SampleTank, questo iGrand merita più attenzione, altrimenti Korg e Crudebyte... Bene, inserire effetto pedale, lo so che questo potrebbe far impennare lo spazio occupato, ma la concorrenza fa prodotti da 12 gbyte, oggi iPad 2017 con processore A9 da 128 gByte costa 499€, lo spazio è un vecchio problema, quindi dumper sul pedale e non avrete problemi di concorrenza.
Se poi riusciste a compatibilizzare il tutto con Audio Unit allora... bingo! Niente di trascendentale, già c'è chi lo fa....
