About this app

Play a real ukulele anywhere. Every note in this app was recorded one by one from a physical acoustic ukulele, so what you hear is a real instrument and not a synthesized tone. Practice, learn the fretboard, pick out melodies, strum along with a song, or catch an idea the moment it arrives. Beginner, student, teacher, songwriter or experienced player — this virtual uke is built for practice, music education and everyday playing.

A REAL UKULELE ON YOUR SCREEN

• 80 authentic notes, professionally recorded from a real acoustic ukulele
• 4 strings and 19 frets, open strings included
• Realistic fret proportions: the frets narrow toward the headstock exactly as on a physical uke, so the finger positions you learn carry over
• Natural acoustics — real decay, body resonance and note-to-note variation

REAL SOUND, REAL RESPONSE

• Low-latency audio engine — the sound stays right under your finger
• Touch velocity: press softly or firmly and the note answers
• Adjustable sustain, from short muted plucks to a long open ring
• Multi-touch, so you can hold notes and pick across the strings
• The strings vibrate on screen like real ones — widest over the body, calming down toward the headstock
• Every note you touch lights up, so you always see what you played

PLAY IT NATURALLY

• Landscape layout that feels like holding a real uke in both hands
• Tap single notes on the frets, or strum across the strings over the sound hole
• Slide along the whole neck with the arrow buttons or the fretboard slider
• The fretboard stays put while you play — a stray finger never drags it out of place

BUILT-IN MUSIC STUDIO

• Metronome from 40 to 240 BPM to keep your timing steady
• 5-band equalizer with Pop, Rock, Jazz, Classical and Flat presets
• Two real-time visualizers that move with what you play
• Volume control and haptic feedback you can switch off

RECORD, KEEP AND SHARE

• Record your playing through the device microphone
• Name your takes, mark favorites, listen back and delete what you don't need
• Share a recording with friends, family or your teacher
• Six relaxing tracks are included to play along with
• Add audio files from your own device — with search, favorites, repeat one and shuffle

LEARN THE UKULELE FASTER

• Find your way around the fretboard before buying a physical instrument
• Work on picking, strumming, scales and melodies
• Run the metronome slowly and play one note per click to build steady time
• Practice quietly with headphones, at any hour

MAKE IT YOURS

• 30 background themes — repaint the instrument to your taste
• Interface available in 76 languages
• Optional vibration and click response

PLAY ANYTIME, WITHOUT AN ACCOUNT

• The instrument and all of its tools work without an internet connection
• No sign-up, no login, no personal details asked
• The microphone is used only when you choose to record, and recordings stay on your device
• Free to download and supported by ads; details are in the in-app Privacy Policy

GOOD FOR

• Ukulele practice at home, at school or on the move
• Beginners who want to hear a real uke before buying one
• Songwriters sketching a melody without carrying a string instrument
• Music students and music teachers
• Ear training and learning where the notes sit

The ukulele — the little four-string instrument from Hawaii, often called the small Hawaiian guitar — is one of the friendliest instruments to start with. If you enjoy guitar, uke or any small string instrument, you will feel at home here.

Whether you are practicing for a lesson, learning your first melody, playing along with a track or writing something new, this app puts a realistic ukulele in your pocket.
