Pros and cons of Kalimba! app for iPhone and iPad

Kalimba! app good for

Maybe it will be fixed soon. Then Id give this very sweet and free app *****
But it needs something, I like that its free and sort of a time-waster, to pass time with, but maybe more notes should be added Cause if you look at most kalimbas they have more notes than the one provided in this app

Some bad moments

It just sounds bad. Very distorted. The more notes that you play, the worse it gets.
The bottom notes dont sound realistic at all. You can barely hear any note, and all the sounds are very distorted. Do not download.
Cool app and is free. Most of you probably never played a real one I hve
The D and the A (5th and 7th notes from the left) are exactly the same in both tunings. How can that be?
I dont know why people say theres a problem with the sound! There isnt! This is an awesome app! Its also FREE! FREE! Get it now!
It is nice. The sound could be better but this is not the real kalimba and it is free! Dont think you can use this In the studio, just to get some fun.

Usually Kalimba! iOS app used & searched for

piano player, piano simulator, and other. So, download free Kalimba! .ipa to run this nice iOS application on iPhone and iPad.
