BUT: I want to save my default settings (Instrument, appearance etc.) in the app. How to? Otherweise, it’s annoying to always set them up again and again when launching the app. AND: The contact option within the app doesn’t work! Same with the manual (just an empty window when opened). And both websites (for app and for support) remain black. So all in all: 2 stars ### 4/5 — BUG FOUND👾 *2024-05-14, version 1.5.0* I found a bug like the tenor sax module not working ### 5/5 — Viele Möglichkeiten *2023-11-26, version 1.5.0* ein Programm mit vielen Möglichkeiten und durchdachten Funktionen. Quasi Pflichtprogramm für jeden Leiter einer Blaskapelle, einer Bläserklasse,… ### 5/5 — Très utile pour travailler *2023-03-03, version 1.4.0* Je cherchais un tuner pour pouvoir travailler mes notes à la trompette, c'est une idée comme une autre. J'en ai essayé plusieurs mais ils y avaient une latence entre l'émission du son et la reconnaissance de la note, donc inutilisables. Heureusement j'ai trouvé cette application et je suis ravi de son efficacité pour la reconnaissance des notes. Le résultat s'affiche instantanément, c'est merveilleux. D'autres part elle permet de travailler d'autres instruments avec leur transposition et possède d'autres outils également très utiles. L'affichage est simple mais c'est très efficace !… Merci et bravo au développeur. ### 2/5 — Nice Idea. Wish it worked. *2021-10-09, version 1.5.0* I downloaded this thinking I would have nice combo of chronometer and finger charts for my flute practice. It will not display the correct note played on my flute. I switched back to my tuner to check my tuning and my son checked also. (He has been playing for 12 years). I cannot find an option to calibrate the app. I just started notes above the staff and some backup that I am playing the correct notes and a fingering reference if it sounds off. Can this be fixed? ### 4/5 — Falsche Griffanzeige bei Blockflöte *2021-01-31, version 1.5.0* Habe mir die App geladen weil ich nach langer Pause wieder Blockflöte lernen wollte. Mir gefällt die App echt gut aber die Griffe für die Blockflöte fangen alle bei der Note F an und es wird die Griffweise für c angezeigt. Auch in der Übersicht im Benutzerhandbuch ist es falsch. Ansonsten hab ich die anderen Funktionen noch nicht ausprobiert. Deshalb 3 Sterne da ich nicht beurteilen kann ob die anderen Instrumente stimmen. Vielleicht kann der Fehler behoben werden. Ich habe die App auf 2 verschiedenen Tablets probiert auf iOS Apple IPAD und Amazon Fire Tablet mehrmals geladen und wieder gelöscht also kann es denk ich kein Einstellungsfehler sein. Wáre schön Antwort zu bekommen. Ich habe nochmal nachgesehen und weis jetzt dass die Sopranino und Altflötengriffe ab F anfangen und dann wáre es richtig aber die Sopran und Tenorgriffe wären dann immer noch falsch. Gebe jetzt 1 Stern mehr obwohl mir dass nichts bringt aber für alle Flöten ist es ja nicht falsch. ### 5/5 — Great app *2020-11-23, version 1.5.0* I lobe this app for my band students. It has everything they need to use in and out of class. My only complaint is the soprano recorder fingerings are not right or they are not showing the correct fingerings. I’d love for that to be fixed so that my 2nd and 3rd grade can use it as well. ### 3/5 — Some complications I have found *2020-09-27, version 1.3.1* I’ve run into some complications with the tuning setting. It keeps registering the note I’m playing as a minor 2nd/Major 2nd down. At first I thought maybe it was a transposition thing, but, no matter how I set the instrument or concert pitch its still funky. Makes tuning a bit complicated! Also, as a college student who has lots of funky time signatures, i wish there were more options for the metronome for when I’m practicing. But not a bad start! Really good app! ### 3/5 — I can 100% see this being used in my band room but not yet.... *2020-07-28, version 1.1.7* Complaints -iPad interface for brass instrument is horrible. All UIs are not seen. Using IPad Pro 11 -ability to hide UI. To many unnecessary things for younger students. I don’t need the piano, metronome, or recording showing all the time. I just want to see the fingering chart -ability to show sharps and flats at the same time, instead of having to choose which one. -I have to end the app many times to reset everything. Sometimes the sound stops working or the midi freezes up. Would get really annoying in the classroom setting Ability to see more then one note with midi files would be a game changer. (Like a line of music) Right now it’s a good fingering chart but will not help you learn to read music fluently. Which is super important in learning to play an instrument. (Which is what they are marketing it as. ) **Ps fantastic feedback service. This app is in the early stages can’t wait to see where it goes! ## Frequently asked questions about Instrument Bible ### What instruments does Instrument Bible support?
