Wow!

Eine wirklich tolle App! Was allerdings etwas nervt ist, dass von den 4 Videoansichten nur noch 1-2 angezeigt werden, sobald man zurück zur Startseite geht, um von dort ein anderes Stück auszuwählen. Macht man es in der Videoansicht über den oberen mittigen Pfeil, geht es problemlos, sobald man zurück auf die Startseite geht, öffnen sich nicht mehr alle Perspektiven und man muss die App neu starten, damit es wieder geht.

Gerne eine Lösung dafür :)

Needs updating

I've just opened it again after many years, and it needs fixing: many of the music excerpts are missing one or even two camera angles (the orchestra ones), something must have gone wrong with the source file management. Please fix it, it's still a great app!

Just wonderful that is on the iPhone

It is even better in its original platform the iPad; but having it play in the background during a stressful medical clinic day takes some of the stress away while at my desk at lunch and the end of the day writing notes.

Great app

I think that this is a great app. It works very well on macOS with the exception of some bugs that occasionally happen.

The company that everyone loving symphony should have.

Great App

Fantastic app, I feel sad that so much work has gone into this and only one review and it is negative. This app works well here on macOS and great for going through with my children and teaching them and learning with them. They could have made the click and drag on the instruments to solo them a button to make that more obveous, nice feature to add in there sad to kind of hide it. It is a little odd the alphabetical order in the score wish there was a way to change that to default score order. The price is amazing for what you get and all the video and explanations. I hope that the app gets more positive reviews and more content like this is made. Clearly a lot of work has been put into this. Sad someone gives a 1 star because they don't like the orchestral order and disregards everything else.

希望工作人员看到可以帮我解决

只有三首曲子可以听,其他几首点开就会闪退

C’est dans la poche !

Merci beaucoup pour cette mise à jour gratuite et vraiment bien optimisée pour les petits écrans.
Toutes mes félicitations à vos équipes en charge du UX design pour ce tour de force graphique. 🎩👏

Thank you!

This is what the appstore should be full of!

Redesign Hurt Functionality

I have used this app in my classroom for over a decade. The recent redesign has removed a frustrating amount of features. Here are the things they removed or forgot to include:
-You can no longer zoom in on instruments.
-When the instrument excerpts were playing, the notes being played used to show up on the Piano. No longer.
-The instrument video excerpts used to enlarge a little when you played them. No longer

There’s a lot of great functionality and education to be found in this app, but while we used to be able to zoom in and get a closer look at instruments and see what was going on, we can’t do that any longer. These are little details, but they make a big difference in the classroom. I hope they’ll bring these features back.

Meh

It’s an interesting idea, and has some great features.

However, the choice of music is, well, odd. It includes Lutoslawski and Salonen, but there is no Mozart or Bach - I mean, who’d be interested in them, eh?

I also thought the music might be updated every now and then, but it’s got the same pieces now as it had when released.

Missed opportunity.

Back to old

Really no improvements at all, and there are many errors such as the score

Muy buena, pero han quitado la opción de ver el instrumento en 3D a pantalla completa

Antes se podía ampliar el instrumento en 3D a pantalla completa, pero con la nueva actualización solo se ve en pequeño en una esquina… Por favor, volved a permitir que se pueda ampliar.

Nach wie vor…

…eine geniale App.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Eine Sache hätte ich in der neuen Version zu bemängeln: Die einzelnen Instrumente konnte ich in der vorigen Version groß darstellen. Das geht hier leider nicht. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Are you kidding?

Sorting orchestral instruments as alphabetical order in score??? Are you kidding? Why do you spoil an already-great app? Can't believe this happend.

Terrible app, disappointing

Bought to introduce homeschool students to the orchestra. When I got to the home page, I was dumbfounded that there were only about 6 classical songs featured and a short bit about the instruments. There was not even a way to listen to an instrument and identify it. It was a complete waste of money. I thought that it would serve better than a book, and I was wrong.

Please add more songs!

Please add more songs like the Nutcracker please!

不错

学习到了很多知识

It has been very nice

It’s very nice and easy to use and has a great design and description of all the orchestra’s instruments. It has a variety of almost if not perfect music that I don’t usually hear if never get to hear. It’s pretty much perfect.
