Description
Feel the summer breeze with Futulele, the only digital Ukulele you'll ever need! It looks amazing (Retina graphics), sounds awesome, offers fully automatic play modes, great interface and even can be extended via the optional Futulele Remote app. Absolutely suitable for ukulele novices, but brings a lot of fun even to experienced ukulele players!

This is the ukulele app that can be seen on Apple's advertising materials for iPad & iPad Mini!

+ Futulele is now UNIVERSAL, with separate versions for iPhone and iPad. 

+ "This is a really brilliant app" - CultOfMac
+ "It is almost as crazy as it is just plain awesome." - 148Apps
+ "None can quite compete with Futulele’s impeccable design." - AppAdvice
+ "It's certainly the slickest ukelele app." - The Verge
+ "Futulele is a should buy because it’s so well designed" - AppleNApps

+ Also seen on NBC, Mashable, BoingBoing, Engadget, Gizmodo and many other news sources!

Futulele is simply the best-sounding Uke synthesizer in the world. The CrystalClear 4.0 sound engine works with 72 highest-quality Ukulele string samples, combining and tweaking them on the fly to deliver fantastic Ukulele experience. Futulele detects your strumming speed and alters the sound accordignly. The engine is also capable of detecting the current output mode (speaker/headphones) and making the ukulele instument sound perfect under every occassion. If that was not enough, there are 4 customizable FX: Grand Stereo Reverb, 3-Band EQ, Lush Chorus, Tape Delay.

Fully automatic playing is possible, just hold the Automatic button and enjoy the results! There are 15 strumming patterns available, which can be changed in the Options menu. Recording is a blast and takes only one tap. Futulele records to .WAV which can later be converted to .M4A via the built-in File Manager and found in the iTunes File Sharing.

Futulele comes with 10 pre-defined ukulele songs, and you can easily create an infinite number of your own. Up to 12 chords can be used per chord set. There are 132 possible chords in total, more than enough for any ukelele song!

One of the most remarkable features of this digital Uke is that it can be operated with the iPhone (iPod Touch) and the iPad simultaneously, in a way that has never been introduced before. On the iPhone, you'll need to install Futulele Remote app (available separately).

It is not a secret that many iPad owners also have an iPhone, so Futulele is an excellent and innovative reason to get the best musical juices flowing out of both. A special guitar-shaped case holds the two devices, making it possible to select the chord on the iPhone and strum along the iPad screen, just as on a regular ukulele. Changing a chord requires only one tap, and the strumming technique is easy and convenient. No external wires or hardware accessories are needed, since the devices use Bluetooth or Wi-Fi (selected automatically) for communicating.

Don’t get it.

You can’t use it like a real Uke .if you can hold down strings, then you can’t play anything. Wasted $3.

love the app...only one problem

and I don’t know if I’m at fault (will change to 5 stars if this is resolved) but the app is out of tune...using it with garageband with the sMe chord progressions results in just garbled mess...I thought it was just the app (using on my 2018 ipad pro) but when I used the app on my 1st gen Ipad pro, the tuning is perfectly fine and blends well with garageband or with my live instruments or any backing track I play along to on youtube. is there a way to fix the tuning manually? even the app on both devices using the same chord and plucking each strings results in different notes even though the notations say the same name.

App can’t output audio to Bluetooth.

I can’t get this app to output audio to my Bluetooth headset. All other apps output audio to my Bluetooth headset.

This is so awesome

I can't believe how awesome this app is and at only 99 cents. The remote app synced perfectly to the iPad. The sound is amazing, the chords are preset, there are preset songs, this is amazing.

Very playable, needs update

I have played the viola, acoustic guitar, electric guitar and ukulele (electric bass is next). This is very playable for when I am away from my instruments. A way to back up your chord sets, assign auto playing styles and speed per chord set would be nice. In latest version for iOS 9, automatic locks up.

Use With Remote

Posted on May 25, 2012 on version 1.0 - "The Futulele cases should be available soon!" - Okay, is there any update to this post? If the cases are not going to be available, please let us know as I was under the impression that the cases were already available when I downloaded the app. I guess I did not read the fine print. My fault. I do like the app, but it would be great if an update on the case would be provided from time to time. Thank you.

Awesome sound

I own a lot of synths, and I'm very demanding when it comes to sound. The included ukes all sound great and are highly sensitive to velocity. That along with muting and bendable strings makes this an extremely beautiful and expressive instrument. It really surprised me, and it's one of my favorite apps.
