Anyone tried the “bestpianosimple” app?

It’s this one right here: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/best-piano-simple-music-maker/id1454147837

It sounds fantastic and is only $1.99 for the paid version. Seems to also be made with the AudioKit engine. But I can’t for the life of me figure out why they’d make such a great sounding app with one of the leading software engines and NOT make it at least IAA or Audiobus compatible. Just curious if anyone else has tried it because I really like it, but for now it’s limited to standalone usage, sampling, recording into a 4 track, etc.

    Old school "ad based" model that drives you to a music teaching service.
    No piano sound... just 4 synth presets to select from. Solid GUI but as an isolated app it's of little value to us. A good intro for a small child to music making on the iPad using a traditional keyboard interface.

    Ouch!

    Not just a "child", but a "small child" :smiley:

    This free but with ads is a model that came and went for most music apps, thankfully.
    I'd give this guy $2 for something I want but not to stop something I don't want. It's like
    paying the terrorists... it leads to more of the same.

    Not sure I can see much of a difference.

    Would you pay him $2 to get the app without ads (presuming you actually wanted the app)?

    Isn't that the same as paying him $2 to remove the ads?

  • Sssshhh. Just smile softly and nod at McD. Don't show teeth or make prolonged eye contact.

    I wouldn’t say it’s only for small children. It’s much like audiokits Retro Piano or the Grand Piano AUV3 app. Very niche and specialized but what’s there sounds good. It’s just a shame it’s basically of no use outside of sampling it or messing around.

    Now that's a well extended simile!

    Do you have any pets? We have cats... and a lot of bandaids.

    How do bandaids help. My hands are covered in scratches and I wouldn't know where to put a band-aid. It's either bandage or open air.

    Ah-ha! So you're going with the cat scratch fever defense?

    I have laid down my weapons.

    That's just the lapse of vigilance the cats have been waiting for.

    Sounds like this one can be skipped, at least if your piano needs are well covered?

    I doesn't have a piano sound... just 4 synthy presets. Yawn. Maybe someone will defend it but without any connectivity do we care?

    Wow. I didn't take you for an accountant, mate. 😎

    Anyway, there's a world of difference. If noone pays the ad hostage people and instead everyone pays the fair pricing people, the ad hostage model disappears and the world becomes a better place. 🌎
