Comments and Reviews
learning by doing
I encourage the author to go back to FOSS as this is a great way to learn piano for children, it would be generous to have it for free. It'd also be a great way to improve the code and to ensure a long term support with a bigger community of developpers.
I wouldn't pay 99 cents for this crap and they want to charge 40 bucks for it? their out of their damn minds or taking advantage of people.
Synthesia for iPad is available in the iTunes App Store as of 12/6/2012.
Can they please create an application for iphone? Please, I would like to try there!
