### 3/5 — Wonderful potential!

*2025-01-26*

Please spend a few hours putting back the midi output, and allow more beam customization? We actually own a KromaLaser and would love to customize whole tones and half tones, add octave pedals?

### 5/5 — How cool this is on Vision Pro!

*2024-10-20*

I know that dudes suck, who wanna play Time Machine’s laser harp inlay on an Apple Vision Pro, but here I am!

What a nice piece of synth revelation this is!

If this went spatial, and the app would not cut off the sound of my other windows in the windows setup, this could be my ‘Pad’.

I pinch my fingers, move my palms down and this Lasertron Laser Harp is so close to standing on stage myself.

Make a kickstarter campaign.
I am in with 50 Bucks!

### 2/5 — Downgrade

*2024-08-17*

I know you have other apps to maintain but it’s been a year and you haven’t restored MIDI to the app which is what it bought it for.
The included sounds were OK but because the app isn’t AUv3 I can’t use it with my DAWs easily.
I’ll change the review if you at least add the MIDI back ;)

### 5/5 — Love the lasertron app

*2024-04-14*

Been a fan of this app since it’s release, always wanted to play the laser harp, it’s a lot of fun
Please let me know if or when you plan on fixing the midi functionality, I still cannot wait to play lasertron on my midi controller ;)

### 1/5 — no sounds can be heard

*2022-02-26, version 3.0*

i stumbled across this app while searching for jean michel jarre. nice pirate marketing;) anyway this app looked appealing, so i bought it. it doesn’t play any sounds. checked all the obvious stuff. watched a youtube clip about the app and it seems pretty straightforward to use. no sound though. $3 down the plug hole. no big $deal. only the principle: please take down software that doesn’t work with current hardware and ios. or fix it so that it does work. or stop charging money for it. i would have contacted the developer first though that was made more difficult than necessary too.

### 2/5 — Not enough notes.

*2021-10-29*

Notes don’t go high enough making this app very limited for playing Jarre’s music. Big disappointment when I started to play the tunes and realised I couldn’t shift the octaves.

### 2/5 — Not accurate

*2021-03-25*

In 2021 this kind of app without the possibility to change scale and key is not possible. Sorry guys it’s not update it’s sound not good we can’t access velocity and all this kind of thing. 
For the moment it’s useless . Don’t buy it ,keep your money it’s a joke not an instrument

### 5/5 — Issue fixed

*2018-08-22*

Thanks to the developer.

**Developer response:** Hi. This was intended but now the sustain is back as most people seemed to
prefer it as before.

### 1/5 — Update

*2018-06-06*

The new update is a trash 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

**Developer response:** Hi. This was intended but now the sustain is back as most people seemed to
prefer it as before.

### 1/5 — Nah

Regrettable purchase

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 3.1 — 2023-08-01

Removed MIDI as that was breaking to much (Ill hope to bring that back again)
Fixed some screen issues
Fixed audio not working when mute is enabled, as i was getting too many negative reviews from the mute switch being turned on and no sound)

### 3.0 — 2018-07-25

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.

The previous version had a change that I thought was more realistic. 
The original Laser Harps, it seemed that the laser light triggered on/off notes. So when you take hand away, the note stops.
Now it seems with the new laser harps, this is not the case. A few people have complained that the release was taken away and replaced with laser off=note-off 
So I've put it back. 
I only noticed this last week. No one emailed me about it so that is why.

### 2.06 — 2017-01-05

Fixed issue with older devices (iPhone 4s and iPad Mini 1)

### 2.04 — 2016-12-18

Added MIDI out: Control notes and expression control with velocity, pressure, modulation. Works with any USB compliant device or compatible app with virtual MIDI in.
