YOU CAN PLAY ANYTHING!!! ### 5/5 — Could improve *2016-08-02, version 1.2* While I enjoy playing this app with various sticks, I think there can be room for improvement. The vibraphone sounds too similar to the xylophone, it should ring more like bells please try fixing this problem. Also if the marimba could have more resonance as the notes become lower that would really capture a good sounding marimba. Really cool app though ### 5/5 — Does exactly what I need cleanly & hassle-free *2016-07-29, version 1.2* I use this to sound-out musical sample and arrangements and it works great, & without annoying features like pop-up ads that don't go away. Marvelous! If there were an entirely ad-free version I'd gladly pay for it! ### 5/5 — Super fun *2016-07-23, version 1.2* I got this app to stimulate musical interest in my 2 year old. He loves it and so do I! ### 5/5 — The xylophone is easy to do *2015-11-01, version 1.1* The xylophone makes pretty good sounds, and I like touching the keys in order to produce sounds. Good job. I like it, so far. ### 5/5 — More please! *2015-10-29, version 1.1* Please bring out more apps as amazing as this one. Create a bass guitar app! ### 5/5 — Love This!! *2015-10-24, version 1.1* The sound quality is so clean and the control of the keys is perfect. Love the design and layout of the game. I can't wait to see what you bring out next! ### 5/5 — I WUV IT 11/10 😍 *2015-08-31, version 1.0* So I'm a percussionist for my middle school, and it hard to find an app to were I can play scales easily. This app is it. It's very simple. I wish it had more octaves available to play, but overall this is worth a free download. With all accessibility to all instruments without having to pay a fee. I'd rate it. And I have. *world explodes* ### 5/5 — Fun! *2015-07-06, version 1.0* I'm knocking out xylophone fun and my little'uns haven't even gotten to it yet. This will be enjoyed often. Nice job. ### 5/5 — Queen-of-trance *2015-06-12, version 1.0* I like this app a lot. It will be very useful in my metaphysical hypnosis sessions as the notes of the musical scale help to aligned the chakras (the seven primary energy centers that we each possess). This will also be helpful for both music and color therapy. Thanks and Godspeed. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not great *2020-06-13, version 1.4.2* It was okay, but boring if you don’t have different songs to try. I wish it had some type of tutorial or song sheets to try, instead of just having to try and think up songs on your own ### 1/5 — Make it better *2018-03-12, version 1.4.2* The creater orsomeone plz let us change the sound because it’s horrible thank u ### 1/5 — Ads & full screen promotions *2018-03-03, version 1.4.2* Simple app. Google ads in your face. ### 1/5 — We Pay $ and They Still Serve Ads?? *2016-12-18, version 1.3* Bought the full arsenal of apps and foolishly assumed I wouldn't be bombarded with ads...3rd party no less. #gismartfail ### 2/5 — Ads make it useless *2016-07-15, version 1.2* I'm looking for a simple xylophone app for my young son. This app is useless because he's constantly hitting the ad banner. I'd rather pay two or three dollars and not have any ads. ### 3/5 — Great but some problems *2019-09-20, version 1.4.2* This app won’t work with voiceover to make things worse I can’t find I can’t go without it with my voice arrive so I can’t know the difference between the marimba a Xylophone and other things transactions problem another thing is I love playing with a voiceover off but I can’t scroll through the app maybe she’s trying to fix this for blind people ### 3/5 — Good but could be better *2016-05-15, version 1.1* This game is good but,……all you do is pick an instrument and play! Where's the fun!? Yes I know it's fun ( in a way) then all the magic ( in the xylophone) is gone! The creators of this game should really improve the status of the games magic. A. There is barely anything to do! B. Make it fun! C., well the only thing is,........…….QUIT BEING STUPID AND MAN UP!!!!!!! ### 4/5 — Need AD-FREE version for kids *2019-05-12, version 1.4.2* Please let me pay for ad-free and no cross-selling version for my grandson. The ad laden version confuses him & he will tap anything. $3 would be fair. It’s a good AP but little kids can’t use as is. ### 4/5 — Too many ads *2018-10-27, version 1.4.2* This app is great! As a musician, I can play this with ease. Only thing I complain about is the constant ads. Please remove all ads. This app is great, or it would be better, without ads. ### 5/5 — Xylophone *2020-10-07, version 1.4.2* This is the best app ever ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome *2019-06-05, version 1.4.2* 2 years ago in 5th grade I was in a after school marimba group. When I left that school for 6th grade I just wanted to keep playing marimba. So I downloaded this app to keep practicing my songs and it really works! ### 5/5 — So many different xylophones!!!! *2019-05-17, version 1.4.2* This app includes not just the toy xylophone but also a regular xylophone, glockenspiel, and many others! I love the mallet choice and how you can choose to have notes on the keys or not! Overall great app! 👍 ### 5/5 — Awesome sauce *2019-03-07, version 1.4.2* This app is perfect if you don’t have a xylophone. And please make more xylophone instruments like a bone xylophone. So yes this is a perfect app of any age. ### 5/5 — Great app but it’s funny *2018-07-23, version 1.4.2* It’s a good app to use when I’m bored or off season I’m a DCI Front Ensemble percussionist and it’s funny to me because some of the instruments are switched and it’s funny but overall it’s a great app to use when I dearly miss my Vibraphone ### 5/5 — I love xylophone!!!!! *2018-03-05, version 1.4.2* I love this. It helps me practice for a concert at The Smith Center. For me it also relieves stress for there is a lot of stress in 5th grade. I turn to it when I am feeling stressful, sad, or angry. This is the perfect app for me!! You should try it now!!! 🌈DKR💫 ### 5/5 — THIS IS THE BEST APP.. but.. *2018-01-05, version 1.4.1* It’s a good app, better than the rest! But when is the “coming soon” coming??? Every time I’m on my phone I check and it still says that. Please add it!!! :D ### 5/5 — Lol I just found out how to work it *2017-11-14, version 1.4* I love this GAME IT IS THE BESSSSSST I made a review saying I didn’t find the marimba but I just found it it is going to help me in band without bringing my giant percussion set home I LOVE THIS APP ### 5/5 — Terefic *2017-09-30, version 1.3* Great sound,lots of fun ### 5/5 — I love this app so good ❤️ *2017-09-04, version 1.3* 🤣😃 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
