## Description

A classy clay flute for your iPhone or iPad. The most customizable, purely musical and expressive ocarina on the App Store today.

A musical instrument app with a great experience at every level. Kids and casual users will enjoy the "Easy Mode", where no special finger positions are required, and you just puff air into the mic to play a song. In the regular "Wind Instrument mode", enjoy three full chromatic octaves without any need to constantly swap scale settings.

- choice between Easy Mode, Touch-Only mode, and Wind Instrument mode
- same finger positions as a real ocarina
- complete chromatic scale in three octaves
- fewer finger positions to remember (tilt to go up/down an octave)
- designed for a great experience on iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch
- highly responsive (aka low latency) with great sound

With optional purchase of Expressive Mode:
- choose your ocarina color

## Review summary

Honey Ocarina offers appealing Zelda-like sound and learning features, but suffers from stability and input problems, with an incomplete note set and limited content; improvements in performance and library would greatly improve the experience.

### Pros

- Zelda-like, realistic ocarina sound.
- Play-along/learning features that help beginners learn songs.
- Easy to learn and enjoyable to play.
- Free base app with affordable expansion songs, offering good value.

### Cons

- Frequent crashes on opening and during use.
- Noticeable input lag between playing notes.
- Notes skip or some notes are missing from the instrument.
- Touch sensitivity/gesture detection can be unreliable (4 vs 3 finger mode).
- Limited song library and not enough Zelda-specific content (not faithful to the game).
