It took all of five minutes with this app to realize that the visual breath indicator , looks like ripples on a pond, doesn't display no matter how hard you blow on iPhone 4s. You can change the color of the breath but it won't display while blowing. Logic would say that if it worked on other iPhones than there is nothing wrong with this app. Therefor the 4s must have some sort of noise canceling feature on the mic. To eliminate background noises such as wind. So the only fix would be to adjust the sensitivity of the mic. To my knowledge this can't be done. This to me sounds like a hardware problem so no software update would ever fix this unless the type of mic is an adjustable kind. I've no idea if it is. Good news is your new 4s will give you clearer sounding calls. Bad news is this app will probably always suffer on it. Hope for the future: an iPhone update that will allow you to turn off noise cancelation, just like a tv that can toggle on and off digital noise reduction. Hope this helps point the way to new and possibly overlooked trouble shooting points. I love The Legend of Zelda and have wanted this app for years so I'm giving it a 3 out of 5 anyway.

Update: The only real gripe I have now is that Apple moved the microphone to the left side of the iPhone 4 and changed the sensitivity of the microphone. Nothing wrong with the app though. Maybe it would be cool to take advantage of the iOS4 multitasking so I can listen to the globe while doing other things. Still a great app. Go Smule!Such a simple yet powerful little instrument in my pocket! From now on I Will never be able to say I'm bored. I can play along with songs on the radio and use it to tune my guitar or as a pitch pipe when I need to find a note and don't have a piano handy. The fact that Smule has free sheet music for this instrument available on their website is also a really cool feature. Plus it's cool to hear other people around the world.I do wish I could choose different generas to listen to or there was a way to weed out the performances that are obviously just messing around. But that would require a lot more than this app set out to accomplish. Well done!

I have loved this app for ages. It's a shame that the ocarina plays great now (something that used to be a problem) but now the recording aspect is completely glitchy on my iPhone 4 (32gb). Not only does the digitizer fail to catch most of the notes I play, even when I play slowly, but the rendered recording on their website is soft to the point of inaudible. So I can't share tunes anymore using this app. The shame is it seems you can't share songs with Ocarina 2, either. Perhaps Smule will be phasing out the "My Ocarina" aspect of their website soon. At any rate, this app still works great if you are looking for a 4-hole ocarina app for your iPhone. Although Songbird Ocarina has more instruments (and tilt and slide note bending), the 4-hole, staggered layout of Ocarina is superior and less cramped–therefore less prone to touch errors. (Although, with Ocarina 2 available now, you may be better off purchasing that.)

The app has been amazing as long as I've been playing it, but when I tried to record, I found a few issues. First, you can't save you're song personally to you're iPhone. I think I am T-Payne shares this inability and saving as a video could be a good solution. Second, after it uploaded/ recorded, my song was reduced to 2 random notes. Please help with these problems in the next update. It's hard to remember all these songs. Update: It also thinks I'm in the ocean near Africa, and I can't delete music already uploaded. Kind of annoying because it uploaded everything I've played and practiced without me knowing.. Again: Sorry, but the favorite button isn't working for me either. This needs an update.

I love the Ocarina; I won't lie about that. It makes me feel all happy and it reminds me of Zelda. But I have a few complaints;One.) Most of the app isn't made for the Retina display. It doesn't take from the experience...but it makes it seem pixelated, when this app seems like it should be more polished.Two.) Choose wether or not you have to blow into the mic. On older iPods, the mic isn't really there unless you buy it. The notes you played were based on the notes you touched; it would be a good idea to re-implement this feature for newer devices anyway. It would help for iPhone4S's that are having issues.I'm using a iPod Touch 4 32G, and I am not having any crashes or issues though, so keep up the good work.

I have practiced using this alot lately!! Its pretty awesome. Just a thought tho. How come when Im playing a song and I put my phone upside down and it makes this wierd.... thing I cant explain. Its cool for some songs tho and dont change it I like it! Its like this pond ripple affect but instead of the visual effect on the antenna thing, its a sound effect. Like the volume are continously going down and up in a pattern. Great app tho. I have only experienced one problem with the recording once. I recorded and recorded the high note [where you dont touch any hole( or what I used is the button on the top left on touch mode )] And speaking of which, Im trying to put Touch Mode off and it says off and I still cant blow on it
