### 4/5 — Fun app

*2023-04-26, version 4.0*

Fun app to play with.  Would be a better educational tool if the challenges worked with the microphone so they could be played on an instrument.

### 1/5 — Mstr

*2020-06-03, version 4.0*

No sound!

### 2/5 — It is alright

*2020-04-15, version 4.0*

It is not the greatest but I quite like it.
But because I can play Mary had a little lamb in the piano I tried it but when it went in best it sounded nothing like it.

### 3/5 — Please add bar lines

*2019-08-09, version 4.0*

I would purchase this to use on my school iPads if there was a setting that enabled bar lines and a time signature to be added. This would make it a perfect app to support Music Theory and composition tuition with younger children. Otherwise, it is a very sweet app and a great concept.

### 1/5 — Didn't work

*2017-12-18, version 3.0*

Couldn't get any sound to hear what music I had created

### 5/5 — Une dépense (pour une fois) intelligente !

*2017-01-31*

Haha trop cher ?! Non mais qu'est-ce qu'il ne faut pas lire sur ces avis !
Cette appli est un bijou, je remercie ceux qui l'ont créée (j'imagine tout le travail derrière) et je conseille de l'acheter sans hésiter !!!
C'est joli, intelligent et amusant, une vraie réussite pour les enfants !

### 5/5 — La meilleure app musicale pour les petits

*2017-01-31*

Mes petits utilisent Music4Kids depuis plusieurs années. C'est une app complète et indémodable qui permet de découvrir les notes, le rythme, la portée, les silences... bref les bases de la musique. Le tout avec un super graphisme.
La dernière mise à jour rend les défis plus abordables et c'est vraiment une très bonne idée!
Je recommande à 100% cette app qui est un vrai bijou.

### 2/5 — Chouette mais trop cher

*2017-01-28*

L'appli est agréable mais pour 3€ j aurais imaginé un peu plus de choix avec la typologie des jeux; le juste prix aurait été plutôt 1€ à mon avis...

**Developer response:** Bonjour,
merci pour votre message, 
l'application propose pourtant un mode libre et un mode défis.
Dans le mode défis, il y a 5 mondes, chaque monde abordant des couleurs de musique différentes. L'application est vraiment riche de beaucoup d'exercices. Nous sommes désolés si cela ne vous convient pas totalement.

### 5/5 — Bonne idée que cette option supplémentaire

*2017-01-04*

Option intéressante pour ceux qui auraient été découragés devant des défis difficiles. Les erreurs sont mieux comprises et la formation de l'oreille musicale des enfants est améliorée !

### 5/5 — Exactly what I wanted

*2016-12-12*

My son is four years old and autistic. Recently he's been getting into music and This app is exactly what I wanted for him to be able to easily compose music but also learn from.
