Absolutely phenomenal
Never have my ears heard such a realistic soft synth. This rivals desktop string sample libraries in sound quality and I have never would have expected this out of the iPad. Maybe some ears can tell it apart from the real thing but mine can't. Definitely gonna use this for future compositions.
Close as you can get
As I cellist I have to say this is not quite the same thing - but it’s as close as you can possibly get with a touch interface, and the range of expression is superb. This is not quite a stringed instrument - but it’s close enough to do almost everything.
It’s also good software: small memory footprint, good performance, *exceptionally* responsive even on old hardware, and a simple and clean interface.
Best of its class, BUT SERIOUSLY NEEDS TO KEEP BEING SUPPORTED
These are the best sounding strings you'll find on iOS. None even come close, this IS the STRINGS KING. I use this for music production, and it's brilliant. The last update was two years ago, so I'm thinking this app will become obsolete eventually if the dev doesn't continually update it to support iOS changes and/or new features and sounds for the app. PLEASE KEEP UPDATING, I'LL KEEP BUYING, YOU DESERVE IT!
Enthralling...♥️🎶🎻🎸🎶
Been testing the audio in my jamup app channels with my new guitar interface and recorded the cello and my virtual Stratocaster playing solo guitar. The two sit so well together in harmonics that I’m thinking of using the cello too in my songwriting of something I’m making. I have a real live Stratocaster too but haven’t recorded it yet with the new interface but sure will and I think it’ll also sound good with the cello. It’s always lovely to keep getting more positive musical inspirations. ♥️🎶
Great app
If you are looking to simulate an isolated violin performance, this can’t be beat. Playing it to sound like a fiddle (playing adjacent open strings) is challenging, but nothing is perfect. The developer is very responsive and enthusiastic about his creation. Well worth the money.
Easily the best strings app
This is by far the most realistic, expressive and enjoyable violin/cello app I’ve used so far, and I’ve tried pretty much every other app that tries to do this.
The expressiveness is far, far beyond what any other controller gives you, especially with 3D Touch, the bends are some of the most natural I’ve experienced, and feel exactly how I’d want them to feel on a physical instrument, and the sounds are amazing (especially the warm, smooth Viola). I am truly blown away.
My only request is pl
Sound of Music
This is brilliant app. Realistic sounds and get you started even if you know little and build your skills over a period of time and there are no limits.
Wish they could add fretless option and a few instruments like Indian Sarangi.
Pleasantly Suprised
I love this app. I’ve been on a quest for the perfect cello app. I bought iSymphonic which sounds phenomenal but doesn’t give you much control. Garageband has great string sounds and lots of options but again, you’re not actually playing cello. I almost bought one to learn on!
I gotta say tho, this cheap little app has some promise. Once you get the hang of it, it starts feeling like a real cello.
If anyone has any other cool cello/orchestral apps, let me know.
What a great app!
Is almost like playing a real violin.
I'm having so much fun messing with this ingenious app.
Realistic!!
I have iSymphonic and Garageband, but they don’t exactly give me much control, this app gave me so much more than any app could possibly give me! i wish the lower strings had a slightly higher quality though.

Ok...
Well, this would be a GREAT app, but you can only play the cello, and you have to pay $5 for any other instrument. If you could play every instrument it'd be awesome, but you can't. So if you're only looking for a cello app, it's great.
Needs recording capability (and metronome)
It sounds good but I bought this app hoping I could paste files from it to GarageBand. Waste of money for me without that capability. Please add that on next update if there is one.
