I'm only giving it one star because you have to give it something to write a review. ### 1/5 — Previous version was better *2012-08-24* Nice app but now they ruined it by adding a splash title page. This app immediately displayed the instrument and was immediately ready to play in all the previous versions but now, you have to wait through a pointless title screen. They _added_ a time-wasting title to an app that never needed one before. Very lame. Apple doesn't need to use title screens. ### 4/5 — Fun to play *2018-03-20, version 2.3* Only reason why I gave it 4 Stars is because I would like to have the option to learn to play songs on it. But otherwise it’s fun to play. I think I like the tubes the best. ### 4/5 — worth the money *2010-08-18, version 0* This app delivers as promised. the user interface is intuitive and notes sound immediately when played. nice job! Joe N. ### 4/5 — Loaded & fun *2010-07-25, version 0* Clear sound, with good vibe tone, too. Adjustable scale, so you can tune with others if playing in a group. Demo songs, but also a way to enter your own demos and add them to the mix. Don't miss the tutorials, which are not clearly marked (look under options). Good job on those! Best of all is the ability to record your songs and play back. This is missing in many of the better musical apps, so I was pleasantly surprised to find it here. I review a lot of apps, and am often a tough critic. Here I found a lot to like and very few things that needed fixing. One silly "oops" is the "B" note marked with "H" instead. A minor fix. This app gives a lot for 99 cents. If I had known it was this decent, I would not have minded paying more. Good job. Fun app. ### 5/5 — Great Tubular Bells! *2012-11-05, version 2.0* I bought this app specifically for the tubular bells, and I am delighted with it. Everything is very well written with lots of adjustments that can be made to the basic setups. The sound is fantastic. The record function is excellent. But, I do have one request ... I WANT BIGGER BELLS!!! I WANNA GO *BONG!* *BONG!* *BONG!* on a GIANT set of bells! I want to be Quasimodo in the bell tower! GIVE ME BIG BONGING BELLS!!! Please? Awesome app! ### 5/5 — Nicely done... *2011-08-22, version 1.2.1* ...and now a couple of improvements would be: Adjustable key widths (bigger range) Octave shift (down) Ability to play along with the sample tunes ### 5/5 — Great *2011-06-03, version 1.2.1* Very nicely done - 1 1/2 octaves, chromatics, record/playback facility. An excellent step-up from the basic children's xylophone. ### 5/5 — Great for a beginner *2011-01-16, version 1.2.1* I love the tutor mode: you can turn it on or off, or just play and watch, and then teach yourself the tune. Adjustable tuning, vibes or bells, responsive volume depending on where you strike. It's a very nice way to exercise your musical brain. Looks perfect for a real musician, too. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
