### 3/5 — Can’t use in Logic Pro!!!!!

*2024-01-03*

This is a most beautiful sounding organ! But I was super disappointed after buying the app as I was unable to use it to record in Logic Pro.
Super frustrating 😕

### 2/5 — Beautiful Sound,  but unusable...

*2019-12-05*

Keys are huge on iPad Pro 12.9”, with no apparent option to reduce their size. Can only see a 3rd or a 4th at most.

**Developer response:** I am sorry for this. I am aware of the layout problems with the latest iPad Pro generation. They will be fixed in Napo 5.

### 5/5 — Gekauft

*2013-09-21*

Der Entwickler ist den Möglichkeiten auf dem iPad scheinbar schon weit voraus. Ich habe wieder einen Weg zur Musik gefunden. Nix aus dem App Store kann dieser Umsetzung das Wasser reichen. Gut, das Design scheint nun nicht gerade aus dem Profibereich zu stammen.

### 5/5 — Das Ei des Kolumbus, eine I-ORGEL

*2012-10-25*

Wer hätte vor einigen Jahren gewagt, dem Gedanken nachzugehen, auf einem "Telefon mit Touchscreen" die Möglichkeit zu haben, mal eben eine Pfeifenorgel perfekt zu simulieren? Der Programmierer Markus Sigg hat hier für alle Orgelenthusiasten eine App erstellt, die Emotionen weckt: Sei es die liebevolle, grafische Umsetzung, wie man Sie von adäquaten Softwareprodukten kennt, oder auch die vielen, sinnvollen Funktionen, wie der eingebaute Audiorecorder, das Umschalten auf eine sparsame Grafik, um Rechenleistung zu sparen, oder die Möglichkeit die App via Virtual-MIDI oder Netzwerk MIDI anzusteuern. All das zeugt von hoher Fachkompetenz und macht in der Anwendung einfach nur Spaß! Ein hervorragender Support mit vielen, weiteren innovativen Ideen für die Zukunft macht diese App zu einer sinnvollen Investition. Und der Klang! - er belohnt die Organisten und die, die es werden wollen, nicht nur mit einem realistischen und charmanten Orgelteppich (Salicional/Céleste), sondern lässt auch Subbass, Rohrflöte und Prinzipalpfeifchen fröhlich in CD-Standard-Qualität, Herz und Ohren erfreuen. Der Anschluß von HighEnd-Lautsprecher ist da natürlich Pflicht. Wenn also demnächst die Pfeifenorgel in der Kirche ausfällt heißt es "Ich kann Ihnen eben mal mein iPhone/iPad ausleihen."
