Report an issueThe first widely available mobile multi-touch piano, Pianist has been featured in a number of Apple advertising campaigns and was one of the 'Awesome iOS4 Apps' in an Apple iTunes promotion. Sound On Sound magazine listed Pianist in its pick of the Top 20 iPhone Apps, and T3 Magazine in its Top 100 iPhone Apps. Pianist has also been recommended by media sources such as the Mail On Sunday and Fox News. Pianist is considered so influential that it has now been listed as one of three examples of musical instrument apps in the primary academic reference: "The Grove Dictionary of Musical Instruments".
- Full 88 key piano keyboard sampled from a real piano for maximum authenticity.
- Record and save your compositions for later playback. Overdub as many times as you want, and remove unwanted notes.
- Virtual "Soft" and "Sustain" pedals, and expression depending on where you press the key.
- Optional dual keyboard layout allows you to reach even more keys without the need to scroll. Up to four octaves can be displayed and played at once.
- Stay in time with a completely configurable metronome.

8 of 25Very good app. Wish I could hold out notes longer though, they fade away too fast.
Lotta fun...when it actually works, that is. When I go to it on my homescreen, it jumps me BACK to my homescreen after a few seconds. It was working fine the first day I downloaded it, but it's been acting up ever since. And please forgive my ignorance, but I've only had my iPhone a couple of months. What exactly is a "jailbroken" iPhone?
The sound quality and the functionality aren't any better or different than the piano in GarageBand. Best use that instead of paying for this app.
This app hasn’t been updated in almost a decade, but it’s still the best piano app out there IMHO!! I wish the devs came out and updated it for newer bigger screens, but it’s just amazing that it still works as intended! Thank guys, I’ve been using this app since it was announced back in the iPad 2 days
• Please update this app to support the iPhone 5's 4 inch retina display*
No updates in forever. Doesn't even have multitask support!
I've remember having this before November 2009 but it's says it was released then? I love this I just wish there was someway to export or share your recordings then it would be perfect
I love it in HD but I actually think the free one-octave MiniPiano looks and sounds better. I think this one should get more sounds; like an old Moog synth and an organ or bells etc, and it needs is better scrolling; several other synths and pianos scroll nice and smooth so you can follow the keys with your eyes but scrolling in Pianist is so jerky it's an exercise in disorientation. For this price I'd like another big update or two pretty soon.
