### 3/5 — Fun Addicting Game But Can Zoom In Or Zoom Out

*2024-03-13, version 2.0.90*

You Know, I Love Isle Of Tune But However I Can’t Zoom In Or Zoom Out. Now I Went To See The Instructions And It Says How To Zoom In Or Zoom Out And It Doesn’t Work! I Have No Idea Why I Can’t Zoom In Or Out Do I Deserve It? I Don’t Think I Do.

### 4/5 — We love this game but there is no update for iOS 12

*2018-12-25, version 2*

We were really happy with this game but there’s been no update for a year so no iOS 12 support. Sharing and liking other peoples islands doesn’t work for us anymore.

### 4/5 — Great fun!!

*2013-07-30, version 1.1*

This is a hoot!  It's a game and hugely entertaining but it sneaks in music education as well (don't tell your kids) - mostly rhythm, also notes.

An UNDO option would be greatly appreciated!

### 5/5 — So cute!

*2013-07-21, version 1.1*

I love this game! It's super cute and I love making music so I enjoy playing it. Jagged my brother the game and now he loves it too so we share our songs and like each others islands and stuff!

### 5/5 — Get it worth money by sno pro

*2013-07-07, version 1.1*

Great game with so many sound effects. I must get it. Educational. Sno pro is an artist on this game so if u get it, check out his awesome songs and like them. Also known as jetty boy. Good luck. U will love it GARUNTEED. Oh and I've made 200 islands for now.:):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)::):):

### 4/5 — iPhone 5 support?

*2013-01-31*

This would look great as a full sized iPhone 5 app!

### 3/5 — Mad...

*2013-01-30, version 1.1*

When I got this FUN GREAT APP, I was like if I share a isle and delete it from my isles I can get it back. But I can't! Please Fix this so we can delete shared isles that we deleted and are still showing on the share list Thanks!!

### 4/5 — Awesome!

*2012-09-20, version 1.1*

This app is just as good as the computer version. But I feel that it needs more notes and extended notes for each of the objects. Other than that it's perfect!

### 5/5 — Meh

*2012-07-15, version 1.1*

Not bad kinda hard to make a good song and can someone please make kingdom hearts dearly beloved!!!!!!!!

### 3/5 — Loops

*2012-06-23, version 1.1*

Please put the loops on like in the online version! Would have been five star but I am VERY dependent on the loops! Put them in before I rate this one star (everything else is great) also, let us share this!

### 5/5 — Not my cup of tea, but...

*2012-05-26, version 1.1*

If you love 8-bit sounding music (like that from old school games, but with an updated sound. I guess that is the best way to describe it. It monochromatic sound? Like the old school cellphone ringtones. 

It's like a new updated creative version of that super Nintendo Mario music game. You create Sounds that turn into music, there are awesome creations on there. Like Micheal Jackson's beat it, the super Mario theme song, Katy Perry's firework, scooby doo, and many more. Of course without lyrics, just the instrumental sound. 

It does take a lot of effort/creativity to make a good island, but if you like to be creative, and make sound/instrumental bit/retro style music. This app is for you.

I believe Google Chrome (on your PC/MAC) has a version of this you can try online (free) go check it out if you have a computer. 

Rated 5 stars because it is well put together, good graphics, and I'm sure if it was my type of game, I'd like it.

### 5/5 — Addicting

*2012-05-22, version 1.1*

100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars. 
Soooooo good I can't think of anything else to put on the app. I made exactly 58 islands.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2012-04-20, version 1.1*

I would recommend this to anyone!!!

### 5/5 — C'est Fantastique

*2012-03-25, version 1.1*

An excellent music-making app, simple enough for anyone to put together interesting sounding tunes. My only gripe is that the piano doesn't offer the full range of octaves. But, in any case, this is worth checking out if you have even a passing interest in musical composition.

### 1/5 — Waste

*2026-06-03, version 2.0.90*

This is a super waste of money cause you pay for the app than you try to make a certain song you heard and it doesn't even do the right beat at the right speed its a super waste  of money dont buy it

### 1/5 — This is bad

*2026-05-05, version 2.0.90*

This game is so bad I wasted 3 dollars give me a refund please

### 1/5 — Keyboard Mode

*2019-03-18, version 2*

In keyboard mode it is very difficult to choose the keys you select and when you tap on the keys it does not show up.

### 1/5 — This does not work

*2016-11-25, version 1.1*

This does not work whatsoever

### 1/5 — Game is alright...

*2013-12-26, version 1.1*

Don't get me wrong, the game is really cute, but it needs to be worth paying money for it. It's super fun if you're into music. After awhile, the game becomes monotonous, repetitive, and boring as there's only a few things to do during the game. Would be more exciting and worth paying money for if the game was more interactive and had more activities to do.

### 1/5 — Really bad

*2011-10-31, version 1.0.1*

I won't create any sound at all for me

### 1/5 — Where's the Fun?

*2011-10-19, version 1.0.1*

This is a simple sound sequencer with a sim-city-like interface. It's not a game. There are no levels, objectives or challenges. It's a novel little experience, but ultimately pointless.

### 2/5 — Best app

*2012-07-30, version 1.1*

HELP! Wth somebody hacked my username. My username is SteveC in isle of tune and there is this guy named stellcool that hacked only my name and is posting these crap songs making me look like an idiot. If one of the technical support guys could look this over and kick this guy off for impersonating me, I would appreciate it.

### 2/5 — Love/hate

*2011-10-15, version 1.0*

Looove the idea of this game! It's a blast to listen to other's creations and to try to create your own. I want to recommend this to my piano students but this has been soooo glitchy for me! I've restarted my iPad 3 times just to get it to function. Please help with this and I will give you 5 stars!

### 2/5 — I want to love it, but ...

*2011-10-12, version 1.0*

I loved this program when I could access it from my laptop browser, and couldn't wait for it to get to iPad. Unfortunately, it's buggy. It has frozen several times. I sure hope an upgrade is on the way!

### 5/5 — sad bug

*2025-07-12, version 2.0.90*

When you share or browse islands, the game spools and never stops! you have to close the app to make it stop spooling………… Great game though!

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2024-09-29, version 2.0.90*

This application was very good, I used to use this in school. It is really helpful, and some people make REALLY amazing stuff on it!! Congrats on the app :) 

-5 stars

### 5/5 — MwaMwa kisses all around for this childhood staple! 💕🌷🌈

*2023-11-19, version 2.0.90*

Been playing the game since I was a wee lass on computer, then when I got my first iPad I spent no hesitation going wild with this thing. Jumping on the bandwagon that was recreating songs in this silly soundfont.

Despite the many, many glitches of the iOS version still plaguing it to this day, I still come back to it to recreate whatever song I heard in my head. From Sonic Levels to Rhythm Heaven, to pop tunes to just random songs from bands I like, I would try my best to remake it. And re-listen to them and other remakes by the people around the world again and again.

What pushed me into writing this was seeing that the Island Browser stopped loading again, just when I was about to upload a silly remake of a Pizza Tower song I like. It made me realize this app may be coming to the end of its lifespan, as it’s become a reoccurring issue. If that’s the case I wanted to mention all the wonder and magic this little game has brought throughout my life. 

Thank y’all for all the melodies made and shared! You deserved the Five Stars long enough. I hope I can keep making tune until the app’s very end! 💟

### 5/5 — I love it!

*2022-04-23, version 2.0.90*

### 5/5 — Good game

*2020-01-08, version 2*

### 5/5 — So good!

*2018-12-16, version 2*

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2015-11-13, version 1.1*

### 5/5 — GET IT

*2015-09-17, version 1.1*

I highly recommend this app

### 5/5 — Very different

*2014-03-27, version 1.1*

This isn't a normal game you find on the iPad. It's very fun and eye grabbing. I gave this app 5 stars because it's worth the money and new of its kind. It's very fun to check out other players islands of songs like wake me up and call me maybe
