Lovely

This has a lovely sound. Not sure what other reviewer’s problem is. Perhaps he’s expecting authentic sounds from his iPhone speaker? Appmaker’s response to that review mentions an iPad version that facilitates correct fingering, but I can’t see the app in his portfolio. Even so. Lovely little app. Wish it had AU3 compatibility, but there are ways round that, such as screen recording and ripping the audio from resulting file.

Disappointing

Very disappointed with this. It is not a learning tool at all.

Don’t get this!

Terrible! I’m sorry I spent money on this!!

Utter garbage

I don’t think the author has ever seen a whistle let alone played one. It works like a keyboard, so you can’t actually use whistle fingering. The buttons are too small to play it with more than one finger, and you can’t turn off the chromatic scale
which wastes even more space. Oh, and it sounds like the recorder voice from an 80s monophonic childrens toy keyboard.

Without a doubt the worst £0.99 I’ve ever spent. It doesn’t even achieve “gimmick” status. It’s worthless.
