The ultimate piano instrument provides you with an extraordinary collection of ultra-realistic acoustic pianos along with built-in recording!

### 1/5 — Der Klang ist nicht besonders

*2025-10-15*

Kurz angetastet. Der Sound überzeugt nicht, das Spielverhalten auch nicht. Der Anschlag ist mittelprächtig. Da gibt es Keyboards, welcher besser klingen. Dann doch lieber Pianoteq 8. Kostet mehr, klingt aber besser und spielt sich besser.

### 1/5 — No recomendado

*2024-12-03, version 1.2.5*

Hace años era de lo poco que había para adquirir, ahora el sonido y características que tiene se queda muy corto al lado de korg module y sus pianos, pure piano, pianoteq8, Ravenscroft, incluso Numa player que es gratis

 Recomiendo ampliamente Pure Piano, es el mejor piano acústico para iOS

### 3/5 — No AUv3

*2024-08-06*

It’s 2024 and it looks like this is abandoned. Great piano sound but very limited as it lacks AUv3.

### 1/5 — don't...

*2024-06-26*

where's the low end? where? the low mids? this sounds like a toy piano from kindergarden. check out ravenscroft275, a lot better.

### 1/5 — Gut seit mehreren Jahren, nun total unbrauchbar

*2024-06-21*

Ich nutze diese App seit mehreren Jahren und war bisher sehr zufrieden. Die Samples sind sehr ordentlich und funktionieren mit dem iRig MIDI an meinem Yamaha KX8 größtenteils zuverlässig.

Leider ist seit dem letzte Update die Tonspur aller Pianos defekt und es hört sich schrecklich an. Damit wurde mein ganzes Setup unbrauchbar… Bitte beheben!

### 5/5 — Update

*2024-04-02*

The app keeping crashes after 3 second from it’s launching. ('' It needs to be update '')

I’m using iP 14 pro max - iOS 17.4.1

### 2/5 — Não consigo restaurar minha compra!!!

*2024-01-31*

Comprei esse app para um iPad que eu usava há anos atrás. Agora fui instalar no meu iPhone e não consigo restaurar a compra!!! Alguém poderia me ajudar?

### 1/5 — Não funciona em segundo plano no iPad os 17

*2024-01-03*

Usei muito tempo. Agora que troquei de ipad, não funciona mais 😵‍💫😵‍💫

### 5/5 — EXTRAordinary Awesome Acoustic Pianos (& more!)

*2023-09-25, version 1.2.4*

1st, Don’t Bother with the $24.99 Version ~ as others have said it is the same exact thing… Just get the app purchases and voilà, you’ve saved Money and I have the exact same app. That Bh said, this is the best and most versatile acoustic piano pack Medi patches I’ve ever used and enjoy it immensely, track with it all the time, and it is very stable with both my iPhone XR and the PC I use @ home. My personal favorite part of the jazz upright, jazz grand two, alt rock operate mellow Brand the classical versions I also like the scratchy “grammaphone” patch for an odd but very effective type of sound imagine walking through any war torn city in Western Europe team 45 and hearing a record being played but no one is around, it’s haunting but it got old quick so I recommend using it sparingly. 

Would like to see IK multimedia consolidate these apps worse pay the 25 bucks for what you could get with the free version to pay for what you don’t want to get that this is absolutely fantastic & I can’t go back to boards with factory presets, and the iRig pro duo! All deserved top marks!

### 1/5 — Dejo de funcionar con la versión iOS 15.5, qué hacer?

*2022-06-23, version 1.2.4*

Antes de esta actualización de iOS todo bien que se pu de esperar ? Saludos
