She loves the Piano Band where she can learn songs. She’s happy, I’m happy...lol... ### 2/5 — Entirely basic *2018-12-15, version 4.6* Too basic for me this is for people stupid enough to buy an app that has so much to unlock. ### 5/5 — Game lover *2018-08-28, version 4.6* Great game for kids fun to play music ### 3/5 — No sound *2017-08-16, version 4.2* No sound on my iPhone! Shame... ### 5/5 — Great app *2017-07-20, version 4.2* I am an early intervention speech therapist. And while I love my toys this app is very effective with children that are low functioning and have limited motor skills. Its very easy to activate the music. Its a quality app ### 3/5 — Rate *2017-01-31, version 4.2* Rating ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Im not paying 😠 *2026-04-18, version 4.6* I bought this game back in like 2016 I distinctly do NOT remember having to pay fast forward to now and guess what? I HAVE TO PAY FOR A GAME THAT WILL NOT BE PLAYED IN LIKE A YEAR SO WHY EVEN BOTHER AT THIS POINT ### 1/5 — Pay agin? *2024-09-01, version 4.6* This was purchased fully in 2018, and more than once if I remember correctly. We does it keep saying to pay AGAIN and does not restore properly as it should? ### 1/5 — Can’t play it *2019-04-08, version 4.6* I tried to play the music and it wouldn’t let me :/ my siblings had it working but it wouldn’t for mine ### 1/5 — A great app, but... *2019-03-14, version 4.6* I have previously paid for this app, but tried to open it in my new iPad. However, it would not let me open it with the full version. Please can you check the problem. Regards Philip Crooks ### 1/5 — Simple but decent *2018-04-19, version 4.5* The ads cover the instruments. Small kids keep bumping the ads making it difficult to play. Dumb ### 1/5 — Frustrated at this time *2017-12-28, version 4.5* Loved the app on my old mini iPad. Now I have a mini iPad 4 and get NO sound even after following the tips to parents (I am a gramma). I know the app was free but I am disappointed. ### 1/5 — No sound *2017-10-01, version 4.5* Plume turned up on tablet but no sound useless ### 1/5 — Do not buy, Horrible APP NO SOUND *2016-11-26, version 4.2* Bought full version and sound does not work. Can I please have a refund? ### 1/5 — No sound *2016-10-03, version 4.2* The app has no sound. Both the iPad and the app are set to full volume. Not on mute. Duh. ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2016-09-21, version 4.0* First no sound, then just ads so nothing but a money maker for a grubby talentless developer and naive kids ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good *2025-10-13, version 4.6* I loved making some songs on here except the drums on the thumbnail had a pink kick drum but didn’t exist in the playable version, I still like it though ### 5/5 — COOL CHILDHOOD APP on App Store! *2025-07-15, version 4.6* Music sparkles is a childhood app and I have the full version purchased to our iTunes account years ago just to stop advert pop ups I don’t like at all, and the only thing is missing on the app is the record option, can you update the app just to have the record option? Just like my karaoke kids by Red Karaoke and the GarageBand app that let’s you record karaoke and start singing! ### 5/5 — Good *2024-10-17* I loved making some songs on here ### 5/5 — Kids get all the fun *2023-08-20, version 4.6* Great app I always love to play it with my kids then I push them out and take over playing, why should they have all the fun, I bought the iPad and the app fare’s fare I’m only kidding Or am I ?😉 ### 5/5 — Music Sparkles 💖 *2023-02-08, version 4.6* This app looks good, I love the instruments in this app it’s super cool ### 5/5 — My childhood game! I’m getting the full version someday. *2023-01-23, version 4.6* I remember this from when I was young, so I redownloaded it for nostalgia’s sake just to have it in my library. (And to hear the old samples, especially that sick banjo solo! I recorded the sample on GarageBand and now use it as my call tone! Thank you Music Sparkle!) ### 5/5 — My story *2022-10-22, version 4.6* I had good times w this game when I was little,it was life changing and Ty for making this game ### 5/5 — Surprisingly in depth *2022-08-06, version 4.6* Apparently I had this as a kid? Anyways I recently redownloaded it and decided that it would be fun to make a song using an app that’s obviously not meant for professional use, so now I’m making a cover of Hysteric Night Girl by PSYQUI using this app. Why? I was bored I guess. Anyways, despite its age this is pretty educational. I only wish you could change the key of instruments, and the drum would have a hi-hat. If you want to see the finished project, check out my YouTube at Ariadneon in a few weeks… or months… or never… I might never finish this but I hope I do. ### 5/5 — AMAZING *2022-01-04, version 4.6* Made me do a star solo in my high school band ### 5/5 — Ttt *2021-12-26, version 4.6* Cool math games --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
