Why? Well: 1) No sound at all. I tried it on my phone and iPad, no sound at all. Fix this. 2) they are not even the correct strings. As someone who plays violin, I am deeply upset by the way this is made. The strings are incorrect, and I can guarantee it won’t even sound good if there was sound. This could of been good. But it is a complete fail. ### 1/5 — Too many adds *2021-04-10, version 1.0* As a beginner violinist, I know what a violin sounds like. Not that. But there are WAY too many adds. I can’t even get through two measures without an add popping up! It is ridiculous! ### 1/5 — How?? *2021-03-02, version 1.0* Couldn’t figure it out. Couldn’t get the sound and the help button was completely unhelpful. ### 1/5 — no sound *2020-11-03, version 1.0* i heard no sound ### 1/5 — Does not work *2020-08-10, version 1.0* I’m a violinist and this app does not work. The bottom buttons for the open strings play. However, the fingered notes make no sound at all. I want my money back. Please fix your app. It could be a good thing. Right now it is not. ### 1/5 — 没有声音，难道要花钱才能用吗？ *2020-07-30* 没有声音，难道要花钱才能用吗？ ### 1/5 — Unbrauchbar *2020-07-17, version 1.0* Werbung kommt in zu kurzer Zeit und Steuerung reagiert oft nicht und ist nur unpräzise bedienbar ### 2/5 — 广告牛逼 *2020-04-28* 敢问阁下，拉一首曲子我中间看了3次广告你是想让我感受您的广告之美吗😀 ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2020-02-28, version 1.0* My phone has 3D Touch and it’s saying that it doesn’t. It also doesn’t even play! So what’s the point? This would be a really great app if you actually fix the app, and read the reviews instead of just sitting there all lazy. Please fix. 1 star. I want to put 0 but that’s mean. ### 1/5 — 没声音 *2020-02-25* 为何没声音？ ### 2/5 — Has potential *2020-02-05, version 1.0* Right now it’s just not good but it can get better if you bring on some people that actually play violin and get their opinions ### 2/5 — Too bad *2019-12-19, version 1.0* It’s hard getting used to this. I wish this was easier to do. It also need updates ### 1/5 — Very complicated *2019-12-11* So I tried this app because I forgot my violín some place and I really wanted to practice. I dowloaded it and I didn’t understand anything, so I pressed the help button which was of no use at all. There wasn’t any sound and I really didn’t understand what was happening. Please try to change that otherwise no one will want to use your app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Như cái l *2026-01-23, version 1.0* Chả ra tiếng luôn mà ### 1/5 — 垃圾！ *2025-06-23* 半分钟一次广告！垃圾软件！💢💢💢👿 ### 1/5 — Terrible *2024-09-01, version 1.0* Annoying buttons. Ads every couple notes you hit. Not worth it ### 1/5 — Not a violin *2024-05-18, version 1.0* When I played the violin it sounded nothing like a violin. Also, the ads. There are a lot of ads. When the ads play it locks your note in place. There’s nothing to really do in the app either. It’s good for messing with though. highly do not recommend this app. Please fix this app. ### 1/5 — Der letzte Müll *2023-08-27, version 1.0* Der aller letzte Müll, den ich je installiert habe! ### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht *2023-04-28, version 1.0* Funktioniert nicht ### 1/5 — Bad app *2023-03-07, version 1.0* This sounds this squidwards clarinet, it doesn’t sound like a violin, my grandpa got resurrected just to shut the app off ### 1/5 — Nothing like a violin *2022-11-23, version 1.0* This app claims that it sounds like a violin regardless when I attempted to play it brought in horrendous sounds. On top of that, the ads kept interrupting me resulting in the notes dragging out the whole time the ad played. Once I was competent to escape the ad the note I had tried to play before the disturbance glitched and played over the one I was trying to play afterward. After a few endeavors at trying to get it to sound partially acceptable, I became frustrated and quit. ### 1/5 — 太垃 *2022-08-31* 没有声音 ### 1/5 — Sound is gone! Hard to use too *2021-07-28, version 1.0* I just got this and I COULDN’T GET SOUND TO WORK I had my ringer off so I turned it on but it still didn’t work I had volume up it still wouldn’t work I don’t know what to do please help me!!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best thing ever *2026-07-29, version 1.0* Best thing I’ve ever used in my life.
