Do you restrict notes to the pentatonic scale like many such apps do so that you always get pleasant sounding results ?

Yes you are correct! We are gonna continue to come up with more concepts for easily and fun composition tools. This was the first step:)

Cute and approachable app :) The music in first demo video, and the pattern-based sequencing reminds me of when I used to compose Mod files on an Amiga 500, which reminded me of Information Society (there as an Amiga on the cover of their "Hack" album), which brought back even more awesome memories.

Anyone else remember Mod files and the Amiga?

So, thanks!

I run a Technology lab for close to 300 3-5 year olds for Head Start. I also am the consultant on app purchases for our whole agency of over 1000 students in over 50 classrooms.

I think you may have made the app I have been searching for. Pre-school students needs apps that let them create and not just "glorified work sheets" or some story told to them. I will let you know in the next few weeks how it works in my classrooms :)

Is the revenue plan based on a monthly subscription model? If not, then I don't know why you'd want to think in terms of "X USD per month"[1].

That being said, kudos, the app looks really fun. It seems to me that you should charge the one-time d/l fee ($0.99 USD)

Sharing songs isn't working and I would seriously reconsider limiting it to iPad only. Offering an interface for iPhone would greatly increase downloads.

What iPad do you have, and are you connected to internet? You can send feedback to per@discofingers.com Thanks for letting us know!
