User reviews

Great idea but needs tweaking

Fantastic concept and fun to play with, but for a trombone app, the slide between notes should be a lot more legato. Almost nailed Ravel’s “Bolero” but won’t pay $1.99 to record it until I can hear a really dramatic slide.

Found app through a Reddit post

Chuckled at the post then downloaded the app. Thought it was just going to be some stupid app that doesn’t work well…….

Boy was I surprised! It works so well and it’s really run. Had to show it off to my kids. They loved it too and will be downloading shortly!

I have no reason to review any other app.

This is it. Peak iPhone technology at its best. I’m not even lying. Pure joy. Shared with everyone.

Tremendous fun

It’s hard not to laugh while making trombone sounds.
