Make simple melodies by swiping your fingers back and forth to strum/hold the sound. There are 5 shapes, each one is musically and physically different. I plan on using this with my students when they need something engaging but calming when needing to calm down/regulate themselves. My only request- can you create a “hide” mode where you swipe across the screen but the guide is hidden/invisible (so you can see the shapes and the undulating waves of sound better. ) I would buy that as an in-app purchase. (To clarify I do NOT mean the guide that can be dismissed by the question mark, I mean the actual controls such as the spin, octave, hold, clear and note buttons. I would like to make those invisible and play them blindly so only the shapes above, and colors surrounding them show. Thanks for the reply though! **Developer response:** Glad you like it, hope you students will too! The overlay help guide can be hidden by tapping the ? icon in the top right. Once you've done this the guide won't show again on startup and you will have a nice clear view of the shapes. You can always show it agin by tapping the ? icon. Hopefully that helps you hide the parts of the app you wanted. If not, feel to reach out to us via the contact form at 5of12.co.uk/#playtonik Thanks for clarifying, that's really useful to know. We like the idea of hiding all the UI controls too. It's on our roadmap to look into soon! ### 5/5 — We love it! *2025-09-05* This is fabulous!
