### 3/5 — 제가 찾던 어플이네요.

*2020-03-27*

이거 오래 전에 제가 아이폰4 쓰던 시절에 처음 선보였던 어플입니다. 어느 순간 앱스토어에서 사라졌었는데..

해상도가 딱 그 시절 수준인 것도 그 이후 개발이 전혀 안 돼서 그런 거고(화면 크기만 맞춘 듯), 광고만 추가가 된 거 같네요.

작동은 그 때만큼 자연스럽게 되지는 않아요. 그 땐 정말 내가 바이올린 연주자가 된 것 같은 즐거움을 줬었는데ㅎㅎ

이 개발자가 당시 그 개발자인지는 잘 모르겠지만(그 땐 개인 이름이 아니었던 걸로 기억하는데..), 개발이 더 안 되고 있는 건 좀 아쉽네요.

### 3/5 — Great fun

*2019-02-27*

I loved having this app while it was String Trio, and it was well worth the money, too. Anymore it seems a little buggy. Pretty sure the app was abandoned.

### 5/5 — 압데이트 부탁드립니다.

*2017-12-02*

만들어 주신 앱 너무 잘 쓰고 있어요~
iso 11 호환되도록 업데이트 꼭!!! 부탁드립니다!!

감사합니다 ^___^

### 5/5 — 해상도가 너무 떨어져요 ㅠㅠ

*2016-07-27*

너무 잼나는 앱인데 업데이트는 없는건가요??ㅠㅠ
