    Won’t play in background.
    Why would you NOT design it to play in the background for like, reading something or looking at art. Since no updates in 4 years, I don’t expect anything to happen from this developer. For what it is, it is fun and relaxing. Show more

    Fun and relaxing!
    This app does not model a traditional Aeolian harp sound, but rather uses wind and gravity algorithms to play the instruments in a unique way. Several variations, several modes, several instruments. Gravity and wind is optional. Pleasant sounds of plucked instruments carry on long after initial input. In other words, a fun little sound app with a lot of flexibilty! Show more

    App of the future, now
    This is one of the best apps made period. I got it on my iPod touch, then had to get it on my iPhone, and finally on the iPad where it really shines. Art and music connected together and with so much freedom, you don't have to be a musician to enjoy it, only be in the moment. Many instruments and tonal scales to choose from and things like echo, colors, and gravity to tweak, you would have to be beyond ADD to not enjoy it, I never get bored of this app, it's been almost four years now. If you have headphones you will hear the amazing high quality of sound, and it moves from one side of your brain to the other, wonderful app, just wonderful. I will never be bored on an airplane again, and my little boy loves it too. Great job guys, exceeds expectations in a sea of app crap. Thanks Show more

    Awesome
    Really great sounds. You can hook up your iPod to your laptop and use GarageBand to create background layers with this thing. Brian/OVER&OUT

    Excellent
    It's seen steady improvement over time and with the retina iPad update, it has once again reclaimed a spot among my favorite apps.

    Balm for Your Ears, Eyes, and Soul
    I would rate this app a galaxy of stars if the option was available: it is that good. Whether or not you are a musician, whether you are barely a toddler or have one foot in the grave, your first tentative taps will effortlessly create musical and visual beauty. You will be amazed, charmed and soothed by the Aeolian Harp, and soon take its simplicity and ease of use for granted - a trademark of quality apps. Explore again and again; treat yourself and those dear to you with pure pleasure, let your eyes and ears open to new musical landscapes, leave the stress far behind in the bargain. If you can see and hear, and if you have at least one operating finger, the Aeolian Harp will keep on giving. Show more

    Awe-mazing!
    Unbelievable! Adjust levels--Just turn the evaporation off. Level-up on elastics and swipe your own masterpiece into existence! Then, chill and listen. It plays for hours!! An incredible way to enjoy 'NEW' music! One Great Creation, especially for a few bucks! You can't beat this! Deserves a sixth star!!! An "All-Night-Flight" app!!! Great buy! Show more

    Excellent for music lovers!
    Get this app if you love music or if you do not know how to play instruments but would like to. It is so easy and you can learn how to create beautiful music that will simply soothe your soul. All they need now is an update with recording ability! Show more

    Great!
    This is an awesome app. It is very therapeutic to play around with. I am a trained musician, but you don't need to be one to enjoy this app. I love its simplicity. Way to go! Show more

    Great for autistic and 2e kids
    Love your app! I have bought 600+ apps (conservatively), and I use this one the most when I want to relax. I have an entire wall of the art that has been created from the app, and have had people ask about how I was able to come up with such gorgeous digital art, when they know I have no visual art ability. ;-) I always take their iPads away from them and find the harp, and tell them "mystery solved!" I also use the app to teach rudimentary music theory to my autistic and 2e (twice exceptional) students. They tend to love everything about the app, and even if they dont use it to learn much at the time, it helps calm them if they become agitated during a lesson. While I am a rotten visual artist, i am a pretty decent musician and recording artist with multiple releases (most of them are even in the iTunes store, and I have a couple of Grammy nominations under my belt as an indie artist) ,and I run my own label for other artists as well. Though I can use multiple means of recording the harp into a DAW, it would be SO great if this app had a recording function! Maybe I am just missing it, but I have scoured the manual and worked on the app so much, I feel as though I would have run into it by now. Thanks for the great app, and for allowing for feedback.

    Amazingly addictive app
    Doubtless will be used as music therapy. Has kept me out of trouble for the last 3 hours. Maybe would be good to have a wi fi direct to printer option also. Beautiful piece of architecture. Thank you from a musician! Show more

    Worth the last 2 bucks in the iTunes account
    played for about 5 minutes: I never thought I could play a music instrument before I saw this crutch (v1.3.1). dat is awesome (in sennheiser 280 headphones anyway)

    Love it!
    I really enjoy this app and find myself turning to it almost daily to create melodies. There are times that I wish I could record and would love to see that as an option in a future update. Highly recommend this to anyone. Show more

    Great Upgrades
    I originally purchased the first version and was disappointed by the sound. But the upgraded instrument tones are now teriffic! Tons of adjustments allow you go achieve just about anything you desire in both sound and sight. Show more

    Fun!
    It is colorful and fun, and works well. Easy to jump into, but surprisingly deep. Worth $2 for sure!
  • Blue Cosmic Hand, 03.02.2011
    Beautiful Fantastic
    This is fantastic music, truel celestial fun. Only, please update to add a SCREEN LOCK OPTION so the instruments don't always come up while playing. Thanks!
  • justonie, 31.01.2011
    Wonderful but...
    It aggravates me when I'm playing a certain harp and I accidentally press the name of the harp and it brings me back to the four harps but other than that I love it and a recording feature would be nice :) Show more
  • kmunchoff, 03.01.2011
    Beautiful
    I love this app, it's so beautiful and easy to use. The only recommendation I'd have for future updates is to add a record option to save your creations.
