should be only for ipad

Let me get the bad news out of the way first: when run on the iPhone, this app is fatally buggy. It uses a clever chord-sequencing scheme--just strum and periodically hit the down arrow to go to the next chord--but programming in the chords is impossible. Among other problems, chords dragged to the timeline pile up on top of each other so you can't even read their labels, or they don't "stick" when dragged there, and before long the app simply freezes and must be force-quit. If you're thinking of running this on your iPhone, forget it. It's unusable. (Tested on iPhone 5/64 GB.) The rest of this review applies to the iPad version, which is marginally usable. I've tried several ukulele apps on my iPad and so far, Futulele is the best of the lot. That's not saying much, though, because the others I've seen are pretty lame. The pros: Futulele has an attractive main screen and produces good sound. It's able to record your performance and export both .wav (digitized audio) and .mid (MIDI) files, which can be imported into GarageBand and combined with other tracks to produce professional-sounding songs. The cons: once you get beyond the main screen into settings, chords and so on, things get ugly fast. The controls are overlaid on the main screen in a semi-translucent fashion, making for a visually distracting mess. The font used is hard to read, and--a particularly serious flaw in a musical instrument--"C" is almost indistinguishable from "G". The recording function works for two takes and then fails--after that, the "Record" button cannot even be actuated. The only cure is to force-quit and relaunch the app. The exported .wav files are fine, but the .mid files, at least in GarageBand, don't sound remotely like what you played, no matter what instrument you assign them to. And as others have pointed out, buttons on the main screen get "stuck" and in some cases replaced by white squares. Futulele is an ambitious effort, and I give the developers credit for what they've accomplished. Unfortunately, they failed to finish the job. This app needs some serious debugging effort, as well as a redesign of the various settings screens. Until then, I can only categorize it as "the best of a bad lot"--still worth buying if you care about the ukulele, but frustrating in use. (Tested on iPad 3/64 GB and iPad Mini/32 GB.) Show more

Looks nice but I could not figure it out. Songs won't play, nothing seems to work except plunking the 4 string either singly or together. I rarely meet an app I can't figure out ...but this one defeated me. Show more

This is a great companion app to OMGuitar. Looks and sounds like a uke', and has lots of strum patterns.

really wanted this to work but it won't even open!

Works well on my iPhone5- no issues. Looks & sounds great- lots of fun.

Good

My mom had a ukulele and I loved to play it as a kid. This takes me back to those days. Still haven't figured it all out yet, but who cares I'm having a blast with it anyway. Anyone know how to play Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head? :-) Show more

Crashes before it even loads. Deleted.

No problems here. Plays better than other ukulele apps.

Wonderful app; however the makers should include the flat chords, as well (e.g. Bb, Ab, etc.)

What a hoot this application is! I have seen the other recent reviews that have indicated problems. A suggestion to the developer - regress against a number of platforms/iOS versions. A suggestion to users, look for possible interactions with othe installed apps and report this to the developer. It works very well on mine. I prefer it to the guitar app by the same team. Show more

I cant get into this app at all- PLEASE HELP!

I have an iPod 4th gen and as soon as I open the app it crashes It seems like a interesting app, but its pointless if you can't use it Will rate when it actually works Show more

Does not load even with plenty of memory available.

App install in iPod 4 but not inicialize. Bug, bug, bug!

Good job on this app. Nice sounds, great response, no discernible latency. Highly recommended if you're looking for a new sound.

Want to give instructions? Bc I have no clue

Need i say more? It wont let me enter the app AT ALL
