### 3/5 — Good but quiet

*2016-02-02*

It's quite good but it's really quiet unless you have headphones in and then it's deafening.

### 4/5 — Spinster 52

*2015-06-16, version 1.1*

Sound, SOUND, where's the sound!

### 1/5 — No sound

*2015-02-10, version 1.1*

Apparently no one checking the reviews or this would be fixed.

### 1/5 — No sound

*2013-08-10, version 1.1*

Should have trusted the reviews I read here.  No sound at all.  Really irritating.

### 1/5 — No sound

*2013-01-04, version 1.1*

Really bums me out. Please fix this ASAP.

### 1/5 — No Sound

*2012-11-22, version 1.1*

Doesn't produce any sound on my iPad running iOS 5

### 1/5 — ???

*2012-11-21, version 1.1*

I installed this last night and can't get ANY sound!!! What gives??
If I could give this app minus 
stars I would but it won't let me! Have to "rate" it to review it!

### 1/5 — Not happy

*2011-09-23, version 1.1*

Good thing this was free since mine says sound not available

### 5/5 — Wonderful App!

*2011-04-03, version 1.1*

I am a singer who doesn't play piano but can read music. This app is a perfect tool to help me figure out the notes for my part. The size of the keys on my iPad is just right. 

My only quibble (and a small one at that) is that I would have liked the volume to go higher. I have the app and my iPad at maximum volume, but it's still on the soft side.

### 5/5 — nice!

*2011-03-02, version 1.1*

This is a great free app which every parent of a little one should try.
