I know the notes are kind of uncommon, but having the extra range to really go up and down would make this app perfect. ### 5/5 — I would have bought it anyway but the Trump loss sealed it *2018-01-24, version 1.0.8* Great job on the app and standing up to the tangerine tyrant! ### 4/5 — Awesome app, could use some work *2017-09-11, version 1.0.8* I love playing songs on this app, but it could use some work. For example, it'd be great to have to range above the high c, maybe up to double G. I'd also like it if there were fingering buttons for 1&3 D, 2&3 Eb, 1&2&3 C#, and some of the other tricky to hit with fingers on a phone ones. That'd make it easier and more enjoyable to play faster songs. For 5 dollars or whatever this was, I think it'd be fair to get some improvements every once and a while. Keep up the great work! ### 5/5 — $3 well spent *2017-08-25, version 1.0.8* I've spent $3 on plenty of less-worthy causes than spiting the tweeter in chief, so I figured why not? It does seem like a cute little app though. I taught myself to play reveille on my little virtual trumpet. My cats are unimpressed but they're cats so that is their default state. Congrats on the win! ### 5/5 — Nur damit Donald sich ärgert. *2017-08-22* Ich werde mein Leben lang nie Trompete spielen. Ich kann es nicht, mag es nicht und möchte es noch nicht mal lernen. Aber da "The Donald" der Hersteller von diese App 6 Jahre lang versucht hat nieder zu machen wegen der (vollkommen logische) Namen habe ich beschlossen die App zu kaufen nur um Donald zu ärgern. Ich hoffe das mehr Leute das machen damit der Hersteller sein verlorenes Geld zurück verdienen kann. ### 5/5 — Great *2017-08-21, version 1.0.8* Got this app after hearing about your legal battle, congratulations! I don't play the trumpet but I see how I can learn after you created such a wonderful product! ### 5/5 — Congrats *2017-08-20* I bought this purely to show support and admiration for the developer. Turns out it's pretty cool! Although this is no reflection on the quality of this app, I would never have had any interest in it. I clicked BUY before getting too far into the Forbes article. ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2017-08-20, version 1.0.8* My son loves instrument apps and he really loves messing around with this one. Very intuitive! Found it when I read about the successful defense of a patent suit troll by that Nazi sympathizer Trump. Win win! ### 5/5 — Thanks!!!! *2017-08-20, version 1.0.8* Just downloaded your app to support you and your sacrifice of six years in battle with orange emperor. Bravo to you! Maybe I'll even learn how to play the trumpet! ### 5/5 — Stading ovation 🙌🏼 *2017-08-19, version 1.0.8* I don't play trumpet and I never will, but I'm incredible proud of you for beating the racist in court. The $2.99 is my token or gratitude. ✋🏼 ### 5/5 — Thanks! *2017-08-18, version 1.0.8* Yup. You guessed it. I do not play the trumpet but wanted to give my $2.99 towards something good. Great job! ### 5/5 — Teaching our nation how to play a Trump *2017-08-18, version 1.0.8* Thank you for providing us with a tool that shows us all how to play a Trump, no matter who we are or how insignificant we may feel in the grand scheme. Your "teach by example" style is admirable and i for one and inspired by your Socratic method of instruction. Thank you for the inspiration to Keep Calm & Play Trump! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2017-08-18, version 1.0.8* Congrats on your win! I'm a music teacher and never heard of this until I read the story about your legal battle. I will definitely recommend it to my beginners. Nice job on the app and your win! ### 5/5 — Anything that makes small-hands filthy-mouth Trump angry is 5 stars *2017-08-18, version 1.0.8* Great app, great win. Congrats! ### 5/5 — Congrats *2017-08-18, version 1.0.8* I just read the guy who created this app defeated Trump in a 6 year lawsuit without a lawyer. You're my hero. Just bought your app. . ### 5/5 — Good for you! *2017-08-17, version 1.0.8* I play piano, guitar and Ukelele, and who knows, maybe I'll take up the trumpet! I, along with others here, am buying this app to thank you for your perseverance against the horrible he-shall-not-be-named. Thank you, thank you, for all your hard work! I am happy for you! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — CAREFUL: not suitable to trumpet players *2022-11-20* Absolutely not for trumpet players ! I thought I would be able to practice finger positions but you actually can’t because there is no way to simulate open notes like C G E (meaning without pressing any valve like you would do with your instrument) Bottomline it is 3.39€ wasted. I want to be reimbursed **Developer response:** Use your left thumb for open. Please see the video. We play trumpet. We tested the design with numerous trumpet players- including some very well known ones. ### 1/5 — Sound Fails *2020-11-01, version 1.0.8* This app fails to project the sound when one select the music to follow along. Very disappointed ... don’t waste your $ on this. ### 1/5 — Well that was a waste of 2 quid! *2013-04-24, version 1.0.3.1* Well, I'll be the first if it prevents others from getting burned... Don't get it! The shining reviews are either written by the creators or their mums. Awkward to use and nothing like a trumpet... Bought this to help me learn how to play and it really offers nothing in that respect... Shame. ### 2/5 — As a trumpet player *2017-08-15, version 1.0.8* As someone who knows how to play a real trumpet, this app is pretty hard to use. I don't think beginners are going to be able to master or use such app. Also, controls are sometimes glitchy or sound weird when combining 2 or more. Though I wouldn't recommend it ### 2/5 — アップデートに期待。 *2012-04-24* まだまだ本物のトランペットとは違います。 ボタンを3つにして、マイクの音量（息のスピード）と連動して音が変化するようになると良いと思います。 ### 2/5 — 音域狭い。 *2011-01-29* ちょっとガッカリ。 本物ではなかなか出せないダブルやトリプルのhighトーン出したい。 ### 2/5 — うーん••• *2011-01-21* 音源がすんごく微妙・・・ もう少し音がなめらかに出てくれたらいいかな⁇ でも操作はけっこう楽しいのでつぎのアップデートに期待します‼ ### 3/5 — It doesn’t work with GarageBand.. *2020-05-02, version 1.0.8* It doesn’t .. it sounds great but there’s no way to merge with other projects or record audio samples ### 3/5 — It's a nice "toy" *2017-08-16, version 1.0.8* Congrats on winning the copyright battle! As a trumpet player and music educator, however, I feel like the app falls short in a few places. Hopefully, now that the legal battle is over, there will be time to refine the product. ### 3/5 — Dog whistle *2017-02-11, version 1.0.8* If you hold down C and G it makes a noise and the pitch goes up and up until the app crashes. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The two finger wiggle *2020-07-26, version 1.0.8* If you wiggle two fingers on one note, it whines up to a high pitch noise and crashes the app. LOL ### 5/5 — 8 years of use might as well review *2019-09-07, version 1.0.8* I have had this app since I was in the 7th grade and I am now a trumpet performance minor! I have used this app daily for nearly 8 years and love it. And I am confident I am the best iTrumpet player on the planet. I play solos from memory on a regular basis. Yes I am cool ### 5/5 — Tolle App & tolle Story! *2018-12-13* Hi, habe gerade die Story von Tom Scharfeld - geschrieben von Steffan Heurer & Nicolay Ketterer - in der Brand eins gelesen und musste mir die App direkt runter laden! Sie macht wirklich super Spaß, und das obwohl ich noch eine Trompete in der Hand hatte.😃 Tolle App! Have a nice day! ✌️ ### 5/5 — 非常好 *2018-12-12* 非常好，很逼真。 ### 5/5 — I have a real trumpet *2018-04-06, version 1.0.8* Hi. I have a real trumpet, and sometimes, I want to have an app to get my trumpet fix in even if I don’t have my real one with me. This app really does the trick! I haven’t played with the app yet, but I saw the description and got hooked! Does the app work like a real trumpet? I see it has a Blow switch in the settings to blow into the microphone, but I don’t know if I would want to use that feature. I give you 5 stars for making my day with a trumpet app that I can have when I want to learn how to play the trumpet on the go! ### 5/5 — 贼好 *2018-02-24* 233333 ### 5/5 — Awesome *2018-02-01, version 1.0.8* This app is freaking perfect. ### 5/5 — Great App *2018-01-30, version 1.0.8* Great way to play the trumpet. 10/10 would recommend 👍 ### 5/5 — it’s because *2018-01-27, version 1.0.8* Harmontown sent me here ### 5/5 — Yay! *2018-01-26, version 1.0.8* Happy to buy this app. I might never even open it. You took on Trump and won. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
