I think I’m going to use this a lot in my recording. Quality sound. ### 4/5 — Entrancing *2015-02-09, version 1.2* I got the free version and have had no problems with it. It's a simple program that is briefly entrancing: create soothing drum sounds in patterns that allows you focus on both musical creation and a sound-based meditation. Perfectly fine for five minutes of entertainment and distraction from stress. ### 4/5 — Brilliant *2015-01-03, version 2.0* Great. Just a shame it doesn't appear in Audiobus... ### 3/5 — Cannot access recordings *2014-07-27, version 2.0* I paid for the full version of this app, which is really cool, but it does not work with AudioBus and I otherwise cannot record the sounds. It says something cryptic about connecting to iTunes and being able to download my records but I have so far been unable to do so. ### 2/5 — Fantabulas till the update *2014-07-16, version 2.0* Was good till the update now it won't even open what the fleck,will wait for a fix ### 4/5 — Nice Sound want faster response time *2013-09-18, version 1.2* Great sound excellent graphics. Would like a faster response to the touch, finer tuning would be great too. Thanks for making a fun app. ### 4/5 — Very Nice *2013-06-12, version 1.2* Good sound. Reasonable responsiveness. ### 3/5 — Review *2013-04-06, version 1.2* Yes is quite good downloaded this for my grandchildren, which I am sure they will enjoy. ### 4/5 — Awesome!! But... *2013-03-04, version 1.2* REALLY like this hang drum much more than other apps. Great sounds, house shaking BASS when put through stereo! K, now the "BUT!!", would b great to b able to swipe the pitch/volume controls away and have full screen drum. Unless I missed it and u can do that. Most of my other music apps hv that feature. So tx a lot. Make this even better and I will pay for a premium version. Drum loops to play w? Or? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App needs to be updated *2021-05-23, version 2.0* App needs to be updated. Won’t open on my iOS 14.5.1 ### 1/5 — free-ok, Pro-doesn’t work *2018-01-13, version 2.0* Does not work or open. Needs to be removed from store. ### 1/5 — Meh *2017-11-29, version 2.0* No update since 2014, no Audiobus support and no interapp audio...what good is it other than to tap on for a few minutes and delete. ### 1/5 — App crashes... a lot... *2017-09-02, version 2.0* I have no idea how to even rate an app that won't open for more than a split second... I had higher hopes downloading this—I hope it gets fixed. ### 1/5 — App keeps crashing *2017-03-12, version 2.0* Sounds are beautiful but I can only tap away a few times before the app crashes and closes :/ ### 1/5 — Steel drum *2014-11-26, version 2.0* The sounds are from a steel drum, not a hang drum. ### 1/5 — Tragic loss *2014-07-24, version 2.0* I loved this app for a very long time it helped me keep calm and helped my hyperactive son. There was an update and now it won't even open. Im very sad over the loss of this app. I hope it is fixed. ### 1/5 — Ruined by update *2014-07-20, version 2.0* Appearance and sound were better before. There is no recording or reverb function without paying again for the "full version". Another lying, cheating update scam. Keep the old version or erase the app. ### 1/5 — SOUND STOPPED WORKING, NO TECH SUPPORT *2013-12-19, version 1.2* I enjoyed this app until it suddenly stopped working. I sent a message to "Tech Support" - a Facebook page where users' complaints of no sound are ignored. Shame. ### 1/5 — Makes no sound *2013-04-25, version 1.2* I'll change the rate I gave if fixed ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it *2019-04-06, version 2.0* The gam is so cool ### 5/5 — Lots of fun *2015-08-20, version 2.0* Great fun hang /handspan app ### 5/5 — Love it *2015-08-15, version 2.0* Even the fact that it exists and works is plenty for me! It's the only hang drum application I could find! I love the sound and love the fact that I can play without buying a 600$ drum! ### 5/5 — Great sound *2015-07-24, version 2.0* Looking forward to recording some tunes and layering them into my imovies! ### 5/5 — Wow!!! *2014-03-21, version 1.2* I've always wanted a real hang drum. Till I get my hands on one... I can now "play" and practice on this app. I'd like to be able to play the notes between the notes.... But this is just incredible. I got the app on my iPhone and iPad, but what a difference on the iPad... Now need to get a bigger screen on the iPad!!!! ### 5/5 — Brilliant work in progress *2013-12-21, version 1.2* A real Hang Drum would be a cripplingly expensive luxury so, until I win the lottery at least, this app provides an entertaining and absorbing stand in. I'd love to be able to choose from a range of tunings and the sound only really works if you listen through headphones but, presuming the developers are going to keep working to improve this product, I'll happily give it my thumbs up. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2013-12-12, version 1.2* I really enjoy this app. ### 5/5 — Brilliant hang drum *2013-09-14, version 1.2* Much better sound than the one I paid for. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2013-04-28, version 1.2* What a wonderful little instrument this is! Beautiful sounds. It's hard to put it down. ### 5/5 — awesome *2013-03-30, version 1.2* just got done playing it, the combinations are endless.sounds great!just get the app. some folks just like to complain..enjoy creativity --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
