Ocarina for Negative User Reviews

Decent app. Fun at first.I’d rate higher but I wish there was an alternative to the microphone. My phone doesn’t properly pick up the action, so the playing is uneven, although I appreciate the variance in breath translating to a variance in sound. A touch-only option would definitely benefit this app. Another problem was the voting system on the globe. I couldn’t tell if the votes were actually going through. Otherwise this app is fun to play with..Version: 1.4.7

It's ok...It's a cool idea, and implemented well (I guess I should give it 4 stars not 3), but it's only fun for 5 mins. I wish it was free and ad supported..Version: 0

Doesn’t workKeys are not responsive and you cannot play anything with it.Version: 1.4.7

TrashYou cannot do anything. It's rlly boring since there is one ocarina and no songbooks. Also, there is only one person in the WORLD who is even playing when I get on, so it gets boring 🚽🚽🚽🗑🗑🗑.Version: 1.4.7

DONT WAST YOUR TIME !!!!!!!!!There is only 4 keys 🎹and you can make any music.Version: 1.4.7

Some faults...The app at first was very interesting but i got quite frustrated when the app couldnt detect anything (it was the apps fault, not my ipods as i also recorded a video of me blowing beside the camera and when i replayed it, it workes)Also, it was too quiet, so i tried plugging it into speakers. You could hear it faintly even though it was turned all the way up..Version: 1.4.3

Cant hear jack diddlyThis app is for iphone and iphone users alone because if you have an ipod touch - even one with the external speaker, you are never going to get any real volume from this at all. In fact, it's so quiet that it is almost useless for the use it was intended for. The sound clarity is also an issue and lacks any kind of richness or depth in tone and you are left with something that sounds quiet and cheap. Updates are also something that are few and far between - this is a forgotten and dead app..Version: 1.4.3

I know this is good but...It won’t let me use more than 2 fingers, might just be my phone tho.Version: 1.4.7

Bleh!Its pretty cool except for my TOY ocarina is easier to work than this i have to blow the back of my phone so i cant see what im playing and there should be more than four notes.Version: 1.4.7

Needs updatingThis classic app I have had since my iPhone 3GS but it needs updating for the new mics in the newer iPhones as even blowing very hard nets very little sound. Please add a microphone gain slider in settings maybe? I’d love to see this app reborn it has a lot of nostalgia for me.Version: 1.4.7

Like the app butI like it and it worked well but recently when I open it it keeps saying I need to stop all music or calls but I don't have any music playing or phone calls tried emailing developers but got no response.Version: 0

Ok lookI like it but it’s just that I wish the blowing was a little better because it’s hard to blow.Version: 1.4.7

Change the way!It’s a very cool game but I have one issue, it tells you to hold it the wrong way... And since you can’t flip the screen the other way, you can’t use it....Version: 1.4.7

Does not work on the 2nd gen touchI know that it says that it isn't compatible with the ipod touch, but until the 2.2 software update it apparently was, as long as you had headphones with a remote and mic. However, this is no longer the case. DO NOT buy the app until they release an update, until then you are basically giving smule your money..Version: 0

I like for this to be updated.At least make a minor update to this app like having different flute sounds and a Legend of Zelda ocarina flute as well as backgrounds since it’s a little dull. If not can you make Ocarina 2? You can promote the idea on other apps you update regularly or on your yt..Version: 1.4.7

Loved it to death but lost all my songsI’ve had this since it’s first release. I uploaded hundreds of songs to my profile but now it’s all gone. All the music I’ve made is now lost in time. Very sad to see it gone. I still love and play this app continually, but as a musician to see all my work disappear with no one to ever hear my previous work saddens me..Version: 1.4.7

Can't get rid of thisMake it stop how do I get this off my phone?.Version: 1.4.7

It’s a little weirdIt’s weird because I have an iPad and lm pretty sure the only way to play is not blowing into the speaker from a distance 😡 I actually have to put my mouth on it to work😡 witch is disgusting!😡.Version: 1.4.7

Consider the followingAnd stay away from this app.Version: 1.4.7

Orcarina ReviewI accidently bought this application. I clicked on buy accidently and then I bought it. I am not interested in things like this! I wasted my money, still, it is fun to mess around with. I am sure other people who purposly bought this application will find very entertaing and a joy to play. I on the other-hand did not think that it was outstanding or very good, I thought it was ok. Therefore I will rate Orcarina 3 stars out of a possible 5. This review was from my opinion..Version: 0

Kinda pointlessIt doesn't give you any songs to play, it's just you messing around with the flute and listening to people round the world.Version: 1.4.7

Why four notes???I like the app but I that it would be like magic piano that gives you song If they do that would be cool but I'm not sure I just got it.Version: 1.4.7

RUBBISHI just downloaded this app, and iTunes took the money from my account and my iTunes on my computer crashed, 5 minutes later I looked in iTunes and the appisn't in my applications list or on my ipod after i synced it and in my purchase hustory in iStore it says i have bought ocarina and the money has been taken from my account. Is there anyway of apple tracing that i have paid for it, and I can re-downoad it for free?.Version: 0

Plays great! Records like a glitchy chipmunk randomly running over piano keysI have loved this app for ages. It's a shame that the ocarina plays great now (something that used to be a problem) but now the recording aspect is completely glitchy on my iPhone 4 (32gb). Not only does the digitizer fail to catch most of the notes I play, even when I play slowly, but the rendered recording on their website is soft to the point of inaudible. So I can't share tunes anymore using this app. The shame is it seems you can't share songs with Ocarina 2, either. Perhaps Smule will be phasing out the "My Ocarina" aspect of their website soon. At any rate, this app still works great if you are looking for a 4-hole ocarina app for your iPhone. Although Songbird Ocarina has more instruments (and tilt and slide note bending), the 4-hole, staggered layout of Ocarina is superior and less cramped–therefore less prone to touch errors. (Although, with Ocarina 2 available now, you may be better off purchasing that.).Version: 1.4.5

Privacy invasion alertJust another data harvesting app. Delete..Version: 1.4.7

Original idea but....The creative juices are a plenty at the Smule camp, this is a great idea and shows off the iPhones caperbility. But, I give this app two stars because I am concerned about it braking my iPhone. Just think about it for second, you are going to pay money to blow spit into your iPhones delicate mic. It will not be long until your iPhones mic becomes disfunctional from being clogged up with spit, bacteria & particles of food from all that blowing. I used it once for a laugh but have removed it as I feel it's not worth ruining my iPhones mic for..Version: 0

OcoI wish you would update this app..Version: 1.4.7

Not advanced enoughIt is okay. I just don't see the value of the app being more than 99 cents. I would like to see more effort and updating. Very expensive for what you get - seems simple. Looking forward to a huge update. Thanks..Version: 0

BadThis is bad just bad.Version: 1.4.6

Just a thought.It took all of five minutes with this app to realize that the visual breath indicator , looks like ripples on a pond, doesn't display no matter how hard you blow on iPhone 4s. You can change the color of the breath but it won't display while blowing. Logic would say that if it worked on other iPhones than there is nothing wrong with this app. Therefor the 4s must have some sort of noise canceling feature on the mic. To eliminate background noises such as wind. So the only fix would be to adjust the sensitivity of the mic. To my knowledge this can't be done. This to me sounds like a hardware problem so no software update would ever fix this unless the type of mic is an adjustable kind. I've no idea if it is. Good news is your new 4s will give you clearer sounding calls. Bad news is this app will probably always suffer on it. Hope for the future: an iPhone update that will allow you to turn off noise cancelation, just like a tv that can toggle on and off digital noise reduction. Hope this helps point the way to new and possibly overlooked trouble shooting points. I love The Legend of Zelda and have wanted this app for years so I'm giving it a 3 out of 5 anyway..Version: 1.4.5

Blowing my phoneMy phone loves this app. now it gets blown all the time..Version: 1.4.7

Good app but concernsEdit: I have been using the app more and like mentioned before it's very good BUT... The Devs really need to fix the multi key press issue. This application could be a real instrument and more then a toy if they fixed the major problem of often not being able to select multiple keys at once or the keys randomly unselecting. For clean music time after time we can't have the multiple key notes not being able to be selected. Please fix this urgently. Finished Edit. The application is good but the iPhone mic is not meant to be used as a instrument to blow on. I think in the mid to longterm this will damage your iPhone mic with spit and condensation, I have played instruments in the past and with almost all of the wind instruments you have a valve to clean to spit that builds up inside. Your iphone mic was not build to be blown on like an instrument for the longterm..Version: 0

It’s hardThis app has a nice concept but to actually find the point as to where you are supposed to blow is stupidly difficult and when you find it you can’t hear it over the blowing. It also doesn’t have any built in songs to learn to play instead it asks you to look them up online which is very helpful I found..Version: 1.4.7

Great but has some problem :(It works great at times but will randomly go very quite. It also still has some multi-touch issues. I will pressing down between 1-3 buttons and if I go to click another one it will sometimes un-click all of the buttons even if my fingers are still there :s.Version: 1.4.4

What happened to this app??What happened to this app?? I used to play this constantly many years ago and then forgot about it until just now. But as I’m trying to go back online to find all of the sheet music to start playing again it’s nowhere to be found. The website doesn’t even exist for the ocarina anymore. What gives?? Why take an entire website down?? If you aren’t going to keep the website then how do you expect people to learn to play songs. This used to be a great app but now I’m just disappointed..Version: 1.4.7

A scamThe instrument itself is pretty good. The "listen to others around the world" feature seems to be fake. For example when I listen to " my melodies" it shows my name and where I'm from, but it plays songs i never played myself; so how do I expect to believe other people are playing what smule says they are if my own recordings are incorrect? Deserves a 1 for dishonesty and false claims of features. Hopefully others realize this..Version: 1.4.3

HATE IT YOU OWE ME 329$🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 IT TOLD ME TO BLOW INTO THE MICROPHONE AND IT MESSED IT UP YOU OWE ME 329$ NOW!!!!!!.Version: 1.4.7

Do not buy, it voids your warrantyI love, well loved this app. Until I discovered that it was the cause of my phone warranty becoming void. There's a piece of paper in the charge section of the iPhone that if the phone is immersed in water changes to red and voids your warranty due to liquid damage. As most people the iPhone is a big expense for me so I treat it with maybe to much care, and it's been nowhere near water. I googled the issue and the first response was of people who had the same problem and its due to this app. You blow into the mic, in turn you get moisture build up or saliva (if your kids try to use it) that goes into the charge section. Changing the colour of the paper and voiding the warranty. App not worth that, trust me, walking on eggshells even more now..Version: 0
