Ratings and reviews

I'd give a five stars to this app just because the idea is great and the design is so realistically vintage. It's almost working like the real thing. Simple-no additional tuning, no record function, no metronom, but charming. Keeps me entertained. Minus one star because of the colour scheme - power switch sign and the indicator are painted in close shades of gray, so it took me a while to find the switch. :) EDT: to avoid lag, don't use a Bluetooth connection while playing.

It's a stylophone! Ignore the review by the idiot that couldn't understand the concept of a button. I found the keys can sometimes be a little sticky but that might just be my awful & glitchy phone that poverty won't allow me to replace😭. Hopefully a version of the Gen X-1 will also come into existence....

Well done recreating the simple fun of the real thing. For the review claiming this is a "garbage app", it's a PWA which, yes, opens in a browser. If it doesn't display anything that's probably a problem with the version of whatever you have set as your default browser not supporting some modern web features. The app itself is fine and does exactly what it says.
