Tappy Tunes is a fun app that lets kids play beautiful music without all those years of pesky lessons! All the notes and chords are preloaded in the correct sequence for dozens of songs. Just tap your iPhone screen and try to keep the beat as animated graphics dance across the screen. Instant musical gratification!
What’s Hot:
We love Beethoven’s powerful “Ode to Joy” which never fails to lift the spirit, even when it’s being played on a cell phone. Other favorites include the jaunty “I’m a Little Teapot”, and “Hail to the Chief”. Use the tune playback option to brush up on unfamiliar songs before attempting them.
What’s Not:
“Take Me Out to the Ballgame” is surprisingly tinny and unsatisfying, and “The Wedding March” has a bunch of eighth notes (which makes it wicked hard to play right). According to the developer’s description, you can dock this app to speakers karaoke style at your next party.” Um, no thanks.
The Bottom Line:
If you don’t like this app, you’re almost certainly doing something wrong.
We tested version 2.0 which is compatible with the iPhone (OS 2.2 or later) and the iPod touch. Developed by Utilitouch, Inc. Read our disclosure policy.
