### 5/5 — お願いです！

*2025-02-13*

楽器が全く使えない私でも楽しくカッコよく演奏ができて最高のアプリです。
以前Tangible Groove Padを気に入って使っていたのですが、いつのまにか使えなくなってしまっていたのでまた使える様にして欲しいです！！！強く希望します！お願いします〜！

### 1/5 — Ich liebe die App seit 10 Jahren.

*2025-01-28*

Aber es sollte mal ein Update her um die App auf den neusten Geräten ordentlich auf dem Display nutzen zu können. Fullscreen. 
Schnell, sonst entfernt Apple die App aus dem Store

Leider leider kein Update mehr. Der Sound kratzt.

### 1/5 — ノイズがすごい

*2023-07-30*

久しぶりに開いてみたらノイズがすごい、
黄色を下に下げると砂嵐のような音がなりまともに出しなくなる。

### 5/5 — 10年以上前のアプリだが、動く

*2023-05-30*

久々に思い出してダウンロードして触ってみたが、動いて感動した。今でも触ってて面白いアプリ

### 3/5 — Bon potentiel

*2021-02-22*

Je découvre cette application sur le tard.
C’est amusant et original.
Par contre on en a vite fais le tour. 
Trop peu de variété dans les sonorités et la qualité est bien au dessous des applications musicales d’aujourd’hui.
Autre détail, la très longue introduction avant de pouvoir utiliser l’application est exaspérante...

Une version refaite en meilleure qualité avec plus de choix d’instrument serait bienvenue👍🏻

### 3/5 — Great App Badly In Need of an Update!!!

*2020-08-22*

Please update the app! A new version with native iPad compatibility and new sounds and features would be amazing!

### 1/5 — Horrible on iPad

*2019-04-21*

Uses pixel doubler (laughable!). Only a small s quake in the middle that doesn’t do anything. You get what you pay for, zero!

### 1/5 — Yuk!

*2018-08-04*

The Devs need to learn that malong people wait for the credits to slowly pass by makes impatient people, like me, uninstall the app immediately! I do not have, either, the time or inclination to wait for the Devs to glorify themeselves before accessing the app!

### 1/5 — Fake App

*2016-07-04*

Lauftext mit Beschreibung der App
ohne Ende ! 
Völlige Verarschung
