### 1/5 — It won’t stop playing the note when I take my finger of the note

*2020-08-07*

Can you please fix this issue for me please because I play this song yeah and if I want to play the note twice I can’t and I have to play another note to stop it playing and can you please fix it?

### 1/5 — O wow

*2011-06-08*

This sound is awful

**Developer response:** No its not! :-)

### 3/5 — Great sound! Weak interface

*2024-11-27*

Love your apps but prefer back in the quality days of Just Drones and the original Säckpipa still on my old iPad.  This new version is so simplistic and clunky, doesnt feel as natural as the previous interface. Far better with the thumb key and modal tuning buttons which is more historical than full chromatic, which is tough to play on a touchscreen. Maybe midi is better but I use an iPad.

### 4/5 — I can enjoy with it

*2020-07-18*

Finger tonguing is awkward because the space between instrument’keys is close.
I am satisfied with the sounds. 
I like this tool, thanks.

### 5/5 — I love this Instrument and app

*2024-02-15*

I first downloaded this when it must've been new and I've been trying to make Viking folk music for a long time. This is the only free bagpipe that I can find that seems to fit the bill. I just wish I understood music better so I could play it and do it justice. But anyway thanks for creating this much appreciated.

### 5/5 — 5 Stars

10 years later, still amazing!

### 5/5 — Säckpipa

*2018-07-10*

Great little free app. I use the larger version on iPad to practice sackpipa fingering but this is great fun. Can sketch out a wee tune on it alright. Huge thanks to the developer for coming up with all these traditional music apps.

### 5/5 — レビュー

*2013-01-12*

おそらく本物のバグパイプの音を録音したものを使っていて、本格的。

音域がバグパイプと合わせてあるので、少々狭い(オクターブ+2くらい)

一度キーをタッチするとその音が鳴り続けるようになっていて、バグパイプらしさを増すよう工夫している。
ドローン管の音もちゃんとある。

バグパイプがどんな音か知ってみたい人や、この曲をバグパイプで演奏したらどうなるか聴いてみたいという人におすすめだと思う。

### 5/5 — fantastic!

*2012-06-30*

This is great!  You can't complain about a free app that is such fun to play.  Well I guess one moron did complain but nobody cares about unfair reviews.

### 5/5 — Great Säckpipa app!

*2011-04-25*

Sound is authentic, and impressive! My only nitpicks are theres no drone holes or way to achieve vibrato... But those are minor qualms with an otherwise fine product.

**Developer response:** On version 4.0, released in 2018, you can do pitch-bend based vibrato when controlled via MIDI.
