### 1/5 — Does NOT work at all!

*2016-01-28*

Waste of money. Doesn't work at all, can't use as keyboard, balls don't do anything, links aren't activated, the only way out is to kill the app. I'm not sure if it's an update thing as I just downloaded today and there was an update today, but I highly suggest the developers take a look at what they've released. I'm rather peeved at how much I spent on this thing.

### 5/5 — Simple and well-made

*2014-12-28*

Might be nice to have a few more features but it works well (once you figure out the double-tap or tap-and-hold to activate the settings functionality for adults).

### 5/5 — Great tool to learn

*2013-08-18*

It's interesting because as soon as I had my niece playing with this app and the songs included, she began playing them on her real life toy piano! Pretty cool...great design and the bright colors make it great for kids.

### 1/5 — No sound

*2013-07-28*

No sound- very dissatisfied ! Don't waste your money

### 5/5 — Fun for kids!

*2013-06-28*

The kids I work with absolutely love this.  Fun app!

### 4/5 — Fun basic music teaching app

*2013-06-01*

Great basic music learning app that
+ looks gorgeous
+ is interactive in a fun way
- needs iPhone 5 screen size support
- could use more songs, even paid for using IAP.

### 5/5 — Fun and Colorful

*2013-05-31*

The audio is fun and resembles a child's toy. It's a great tool to teach younger children and I am excited to have found it!

### 1/5 — Piano Balls

*2013-04-29*

Audio does not work and App does not rotate with the iPad, so in my case, the App appears upside down.  I can see the notes for the first song are correct.
