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.

Response from developer

I've been playing and teaching whistle for nearly 20 years as well as been on several Oscar nominated soundtracks so I'll ignore your first rant. The iPhone hardware only supports 5 simultaneous touches so it’s impossible to do proper whistle fingerings, which would require at least 7, six for the finger holes and one to switch the octave. If you want real whistle fingerings, then you should be considering the iPad version, this is the best that is possible on an iPhone. The sounds are per note samples from a very nice high end whistle.
