## Description

8-Bit Piano lets you create retro chip-tune style video game music using a vibrantly colored CMYK keyboard. Tap notes, experiment with sequences, and discover which melodies sound best after others — all in a playful Chrome extension.

Coming soon: multiple octaves and a save/record feature to capture your melodies for later playback.

## Review summary

Users like the retro 8-bit piano concept and free access, but its usefulness is limited by a single octave, lack of features, and frequent crashes. Stability problems and device-specific sound issues are common, and many reviewers want more keys, drums, recording options, and better compatibility to unlock the app's potential.

### Pros

- Nostalgic 8-bit vibe and retro feel.
- Good for making simple music; enjoyable and straightforward.
- Free to use.
- Easy to pick up with a simple, accessible interface.

### Cons

- Only one octave with limited notes; no scrolling or expansion.
- Frequent crashes on launch or during use; stability issues.
- Missing features like 8-bit drums/percussion, recording/export, and additional sounds.
- Occasional audio issues on some devices (no sound or uneven playback).
- UI limitations (inability to scroll/move the keyboard; basic navigation constraints).
