Amazing All Around
This is my 4yo son’s favorite app. He loves music and orchestra instruments, and there are just not many apps out there geared toward that age group. This one is amazing and the customer support is also amazing. They are quick to respond and happy to help.
Doesn't stop
While using the app, it does not allow you to navigate through without the instruments automatically play in the background. I wanted it as an educational tool for a classroom, but it does not allow room for exploration or proper examples.
Needs more to do
I like the straight-forward simplicity of this app. But 4-5 more interactive games would be a needed addition to round this app out. Also, some basic history about the orchestra would be a nice touch as well. Otherwise, great concept for young children learning about the orchestra.
Love This App!
This is a great introduction to the orchestra. My four-year old is learning the names and sounds of each instrument, and enjoys guessing which instrument is played on the quiz portion. I am so glad we purchased it!
Awful Midi sounds ruin an otherwise good program
This would be a good program...if it used real orchestra sound samples, rather than canned midi sounds. It really shouldn't cost anything to use real instrumental sound samples. And maybe use samples from excerpts that actually feature the instrument, instead of having everyone play the Nutcracker or Carmen, etc.
Ugh.
The sound samples are the worst midi you can imagine. I totally can't use this in my classroom. What a waste of money. Crap.
Oops! - REDACTED
There are parts of this app I like, but I would never use with my music students. In the Listen section the oboe and clarinet sounds are associated with the wrong icon. You select oboe and you hear the clarinet, and visa-versa. Please fix! VERSION 1.0.1 - Thanks for fixing the issue. Your app is now ready for the classroom!
A long due update.
