### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2017-03-14*

This app does not work on iOS 9. I want my money back.

### 1/5 — Sounds terrible

*2013-09-09*

Just downloaded and tried this app, wished I hadn't bothered.. The whole thing sounds and plays badly.. No Stars!!! Waste of money

### 3/5 — cute but not in tune!

*2011-10-22*

I like Ettore software's other products, but this one needs some work. The idea is cute and the price is right. The tinky sound is okay. But some of the notes are flat and it's just enough to make it painful to play. Please fix!!

### 1/5 — Nul !

*2011-01-05*

Et encore 0,79 € par la fenêtre ! Son pourrit, un petit peu de reverb aurai été sympa, bref, une étoile pour les couleurs !

### 1/5 — Needs more.

*2009-02-08*

Ok I've had this app for some time now, and I've played around on it, but I'm sorry to say that it's not very good, I really do not like giving bad ratings, I feel that there is good in all apps, some where, but I've yet to find one in this, but will carry on trying. Maybe an update will come out with more cords on?  
Sorry people who made this but I can only give you one star and no thumbs up.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2008-09-12*

Nice picture but it doesn't DO anything.

### 1/5 — viel zu blechern

*2008-09-07*

selbst nur 0,79 € sind zuviel für diesen blechernen klang, wo man nur die Tonleiter rauf und runterklimpern kann. Finger weg!

### 2/5 — More than one sample would be good.

*2008-09-04*

More samples please.

### 3/5 — Needs improvements

*2008-09-04*

Great idea and fun but unfortunately poor sound quality. Also, bars sometimes do not respond to touch needing to touch them a second time to get a response. Look forward to the improved version.
