### 5/5 — 棒

*2019-08-12*

我们学古筝的认为音质很好！

### 2/5 — 现在用不成了

*2019-08-02*

以前用的非常好，换手机后，重新下载，就用不成了。很多功能都点不开。可能是要加入会员吧

### 2/5 — 为什么歌曲点的没反应

*2018-04-24*

好玩是好玩，为什么歌曲点的没反应呢？只能在屏幕上乱点发出声音。

### 1/5 — Registration? You're Kidding?

*2015-09-04*

I've had this app for quite a while and it was a pleasure. But that is gone now. To even play this, you have to register and provide your email. Sorry, but there's no justification for that that I can see. Can't recommend it to anyone unless they ditch that requirement.

### 1/5 — Sorry, was good, but now not so much...

*2015-05-05, version 3.4.1*

Yes, at first it was fun and actually musical. But now with mandatory registration... I just deleted it.

### 1/5 — Was once awesome, now deleted :(

*2014-10-02, version 3.3*

I LOVED this ap two updates ago. The last update was annoying, but usable. With this latest update I was hoping for a way to buy and get rid of the ads again, instead I have to register. Unfortunately I'm doing something wrong and get an error message, which is in (Japanese?), which I don't read. 
This was a fantastic ap for kids, and all adults loved to gave a pay...now I'm deleting it. With much sadness.

### 1/5 — Registration? Sorry, no.

*2014-08-14*

This was a very enjoyable app... until an "update" changed it so that you can't do anything with it unless you register. Sorry, but all I want to do is play music. I don't want to be "social." I don't want to share my tunes. And I certainly don't want to hand out my email address to strangers. The registration requirement has destroyed the app's usefulness. I've deleted it from all my devices. It's unfortunate that the publisher ruined it.

### 3/5 — They're not listening to us!!!!!!

*2014-08-01*

I thought the Chinese had a sense for logic. Obviously this is a myth. They have you register (in English), but when you want to share one of your compositions it's in Chinese!!!! Someone in their company must come to understand how brilliant this app is!!!! Hook it up to Audiobus (with no ads) and this would sell.

### 5/5 — 可以有！

*2014-07-22*

优点：音色很像，简上手，更新后可以录下作品回放咯，太赞咯。缺点：我想改登录名居然找不到地方，我想反馈问题也找不到地方，我想删掉自己的作品找不到地方，我想导出自己的作品找不到地方。

### 5/5 — Very cool

*2014-05-28, version 3.0*

Very nice
