### 1/5 — ひどい。ただの置物。

*2026-07-24*

オタマトーンテクノを、iPhone12で繋いでいます。
「ファ」の音が出ません。全ての音が遅れて出るし、違う音がでる。全く使えない。

iPad第9世代でも試しましたが、こっちの方がもっと酷い。音すら出ない。

音が遅れる等のバグに対して、『今のところ解決していない』だなんて、ひどすぎる。
せめて、公式は『どの機種なら使えるのか』、ハッキリ知らせるべきだと思います。

子供の誕生日プレゼントでしたが、子供も私も心底ガッカリです。高かったけど、ただの置物です。

全く使えないアプリも、600円だなんて。酷い。お金返して欲しいです。

### 1/5 — 使えない

*2026-03-01*

マイク対応の変換ケーブルでタイプCに変換してスマホに接続しましたが、音が出ませんね。
キーボードでだけ音が出ますが、音色は全て同じです。使えない。

### 3/5 — App crash on iPhone works on ipad

*2026-02-05, version 1.1.1*

I wish app developer update this app and allow angle to control tune…

App slow to open in recent iOS update, I wish developer revisit and optimize the app

### 5/5 — オタマトーンを100倍楽しめる

*2025-12-29*

音色を9種類、エフェクト(リバーブ、ディレイ、ディストーション)をかけたり、音階の周波数を規定して演奏しやすくできるアプリ。
これがあれば楽しく演奏できます。オタマトーンテクノやネオを演奏する際の必需品です。

iPad やiPhone15 Proで使用しています。使用感は特に問題なしです。
Cタイプと3.2mm4極ジャックの接続にはアップル純正の4極端子を使っていますが問題ありません。(公式サイトにてApple 純正のCタイプコネクタを使用することが推奨されています)

### 1/5 — LightningのiPhoneしか使えない

*2025-10-23*

早くタイプCのに対応してくれないと金出した意味ない
直る気配が一切ないけどneo買う必要ある？

### 3/5 — App crash on iPhone works on ipad

*2025-10-02, version 1.1.1*

I wish app developer update this app and allow angle to control tune

### 1/5 — お勧めしない

*2025-08-20*

コレをするためだけに新しいオタマトーンやコネクタ複数個買ったが使えなかった。お金だけ消えた

### 3/5 — ブルートゥース対応は？

*2025-08-14*

そもそも最近のiPhoneにはジャックがないのです
それでも対応可能なら是非その方法を教えてください

### 4/5 — Cタイプは現在エラーみたいです。

*2025-02-10*

現在2025年2月、iPad Proです。
タブレット本体に「イヤホンジャク」が無いので別売りのCタイプに変換できるコードを買いました。

ドラムなどのリズムの音はイヤホンで確認できましたが。
肝心のオタマトーンの音が出ていない状態です
公式ページでも調査中との事でしたので、
気長に待つしか無いと思います。

あとギタートランペット以外は課金(600円)と言うのが、
公式の動画を見た人にとって
後出しジャンケンの様で、先に言って欲しかったです。
課金制ならば今後の追加パッチなども期待したいです。

オタマトーン自体は素晴らしい発明品だと思っています！！

### 5/5 — Otamatone studio Great app

*2024-07-27, version 1.1.1*

Easy to mess around and make funny and cool sounds Evan with out paying but maybe a few more sounds
