However, I’d give up to $5 and 5 stars for a paid version that was ad free. Don’t want ads, don’t want subs, just a one time purchase to use your software. Hate the ad placement where it is easily tripped on when trying to close the app. I suppose that is typical for apps with ads. Also, subtracted one star for no disclosure about ads in the description. ### 3/5 — 最高！！だけど… *2026-05-21, version 2.5* めっちゃやりやすくていい音です！でも、日本語対応して欲しいです！ 吹奏楽の練習に使えて最高なのでそこだけでも改善して頂ければ… あとひとつ言わせていただくとしたら曲が演奏できるモードで日本の曲を入れて欲しいです！ 出来たらでいいので是非お願いします！ ### 4/5 — Pretty good, but… *2026-04-21, version 2.5* It’s a really great app!! I highly recommend this app! I give it 3 stars because in the end it’s only an app. It can help be used to learn music, which I have done many of times, but it can’t simulate a real keyboard. But for it being an app it’s really helpful and doesn’t take up the space the real instrument would in your house!! ### 4/5 — Good 👍🏻 *2025-11-27, version 2.5* Good but nice 👍🏻 ### 3/5 — Amazing!! *2025-09-30, version 2.5* This app is so simple to understand, sounds great and has a variety of tuned percussion. It’s super fun to play songs. The app has inbuilt songs as well which you can play along with and it’s very customisable. Definitely recommend! ### 3/5 — 日本語対応希望 *2025-06-25, version 2.5* 大好きなvibraphoneの音を奏でられるのは嬉しい。 でも画面の盤上に表示される竜巻マークの意味がわからないので、英語だけではなく日本語対応もしてほしい。 ### 4/5 — Awesome but something is weird *2025-05-14, version 2.5* I do not want the xlylophone and marimba to echo ### 5/5 — The best free marimba app ever *2025-04-14, version 2.5* With each bottom press it peor surging relief that it was such a good app and it made me play so good and it was so easy to use and it made me want to practice all day entell I relized that I didn’t have all day cuz I had stuff to do like yesterday I had to go to my brothers bday party at bowlaro which was vary fun by the way and i did so good but his friends started to bowl like 3 balls down the lane at once but it was vary funny but all in all a very good app ### 5/5 — 音はいい感じ *2025-04-05, version 2.5* 広告なし買い切り版も出してほしい もう少しデザインがおしゃれになるといい もっと引きで使えるといい ### 5/5 — I love it *2025-04-01, version 2.5* Iiit is the best thing to do whith music ### 4/5 — Music *2025-03-30, version 2.5* It is like a real life instrument the sound and has different instruments to play from. ### 4/5 — Needs MIDI *2025-03-26, version 2.5* Great sounding apps but need to add MIDI input and AUv3 to be useful for more people. ### 5/5 — One of the best games ever 😊 *2025-03-20, version 2.5* So this game has all my instruments I’ve been wanting for a long time and it’s magical. I really like this app and please get this app five stars. This is the best game ever. ### 4/5 — 日本語にして欲しい *2025-03-17, version 2.5* 学校の発表会で木琴をやる時の練習にすごく使っています。ですが日本語じゃないのでどこがなんのタイルなのか分かりません。学校の木琴はドレミが付いてるのでわかりやすいですが、日本語も対応して欲しいと思います。 ### 5/5 — Mickey Mouse Clubhouse *2025-02-23, version 2.5* Mickey Mouse ### 5/5 — Sounds great! *2025-02-14, version 2.5* I’ve had this app for years and always enjoy using it. Recently I used it in a recording and the vibraphone was very useful for the arrangement. ### 3/5 — Confused *2025-01-28, version 2.5* Can’t tell a flat to minor. Scale only shows minor no flat signs. Where is the b flat. I’m trying to learn trombone and this instrument on my tablet is not helping. ### 3/5 — Beyond amazing *2024-12-14, version 2.5* This game is awesome and has helped me learn music on the go wherever I’m at and has helped me in band a lot ### 5/5 — Helped me practice without using a piano app. *2024-12-09, version 2.5* Good way to practice on mallets for percussionists. The UI could use a touch up. It’s designed to be more of a game than a tool, but overall a great app. There’s also a list if songs that the app will teach you to play. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Broooo *2025-04-16, version 2.5* Brooo I was doing a little video and no sound on my phone Do not get it ### 1/5 — Nervige Werbung *2023-12-17* Gleich wieder gelöscht ### 1/5 — No sound *2022-12-06, version 2.2* The sound is working fine on my iPad; not in this app. ### 1/5 — No noise *2021-10-28, version 2.1.1* There is no noise when playing the instaramants so it's pointless to have and I have my volume up all the way ### 1/5 — Why *2020-10-21, version 2.0* Flipping bad ### 1/5 — No sound *2020-10-04, version 2.0* Very disappointing. My volume is on full on my iPad, I downloaded the app, no sound at all . I checked the sound control was turned up on the app, again...no sound ! ### 1/5 — COULDNT UNDERSATND *2020-09-01, version 2.0* For me is was sooooo hard to actually understand what to dado and as a result got really frustrated! Please make it more user friendly other than that I would not recommend it to anyone! So annoying do not download 😖 ### 1/5 — I wouldn’t recommend it *2019-12-24* It’s not the worst app I’ve gotten to learn keyboard, but it’s not good. There’s lag when you tap on the note forcing you to play really slow so you can’t practice with a fast tempo, and it’s way to easy to do rolls, you just have to press the note three times and it rolls for you. First off, that’s not how you learn to do a roll, and second if you want to play a pattern on one note, you can’t, because it just starts rolling which is annoying. Overall it’s just too hard to use and I wouldn’t recommend it. ### 2/5 — Don’t get the app *2023-11-21, version 2.3.1* My reasoning is that it is so glitchy and out of time when you try to play it. The rolls are annoying and the settings to. The delay is way worse then other games. ### 2/5 — Ads in the way *2023-08-14, version 2.3.1* How are you supposed to play when there are ads in front of the keys? Other than that this app is good, but it’s impossible to use with ads. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Wow, this is great *2026-06-20, version 2.5* I like it, lots of good reviews ### 5/5 — Xylophone *2026-06-17, version 2.5* Absolutely real. ### 5/5 — Cool game *2026-05-11, version 2.5* Cool game it is fun I love it ummmm that’s all I got ### 5/5 — Bells *2026-04-30, version 2.5* I like it because I can play on songs on it ### 5/5 — I ant more songs *2026-02-13, version 2.5* You have to watch videos to get more songs and I don’t want to do that ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-02-01, version 2.5* Great this is one of the best apps I’ve ever had. It is five stars. ### 5/5 — Good *2026-01-23, version 2.5* This game is good for my percussion skills ### 5/5 — Sounds and plays amazing! Was pleasantly surprised! *2026-01-15, version 2.5* I didn’t expect this to sound professional! I would use this set of instrument in my workflow for sure, but I don’t think it is an Auv3 instrument… I also do not think it is IAA capable either, which is a-shame, I will check and see if it shows up in Garage Band/AUM/Cubase3 or Logic Pro… if it does, I will come back and give it a 10 out of 5 rating! Lol! Never-the-less THANK you for a great sounding IOS music app! Great job! ### 5/5 — Really good app *2025-08-05, version 2.5* Im a good percussionist and this app is perfect for practicing one thing is they should add more instruments for example bells, slapaphone, lithophone, Aquarion and etc but still really good game ### 5/5 — This app is good *2025-05-02, version 2.5* This is so good for band in 5th grade --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
