Not worth the download

Exits out as soon as you try to enter the first letter. Don’t bother

Useless

Closes down after typing one letter. Waste of time and money. Don’t bother.

Cool concept except it doesn’t work

There is no audio. And there is nothing wrong with my phone. Paid $1.99 for nothing

Does not work

Downloaded in august 2023, app doesn’t seem to produce any noise, and the keyboard is considerably smaller than the native IOS keyboard, making it difficult to type at all.

Agree

I have to agree with the previous review. I love the idea. I wrote a HyperCard stack myself which took input text strings and set them to QuickTime MIDI instruments with speed settings and octave changes. A lot of that can be done in GarageBand now.

But this wonderful little idea you have here needs simply, to at least export to MIDI so it can be used and adjusted in a world of other music apps.
