"If everyone had the Ocarina app there would be no more wars" - David Pogue "One of the most original entertainment programs to emerge from the App Store" - Wall Street Journal "Ocarina is one of the most magical programs I've ever seen" - NY Times ___________________________
Sensitive to your breath, touch and movements, Ocarina is more versatile than an actual flute: • Blow air into your mic to create music • Touch combinations of holes to play notes • Tilt to change vibrato rate and depth • Advanced users can change keys and modes, including C-Major and Zeldarian mode
With Ocarina, you can also hear people learning to play around the world: • Listen in on Ocarina players all over the world just by tapping the globe icon • Rate your favorite performances • Name your Ocarina so others can listen to you play • Share your favorite performances with family and friends via e-mail • Record and archive your favorite performances on your own “My Ocarina” web page ___________________________
Ocarina fans from all over the world have posted hundreds of free easy–to-read scores for popular songs. Just go to http://ocarina.smule.com and click on 'Songbook'.

8 of 25I’d rate higher but I wish there was an alternative to the microphone. My phone doesn’t properly pick up the action, so the playing is uneven, although I appreciate the variance in breath translating to a variance in sound. A touch-only option would definitely benefit this app. Another problem was the voting system on the globe. I couldn’t tell if the votes were actually going through. Otherwise this app is fun to play with.
Keys are not responsive and you cannot play anything with it
Hey, I love this app a lot. I’m a HUGE Zelda fan, and this app gives that little extra immersion. But I’m trying to play Megalovania, and without two more holes at least, it won’t sound good at all. So plz, plz, PLZ add more holes to the ocarina. Other than that, Great App!
I love it! It’s brings back those Legend of Zelda days.. But.. I wish it had lessons to do songs! It would make it a whole lot better! And easier!
It’s weird because I have an iPad and lm pretty sure the only way to play is not blowing into the speaker from a distance 😡 I actually have to put my mouth on it to work😡 witch is disgusting!😡
Thanks
I tapped on China and my game crashed
I can’t believe this app is still here. I used to play with this like nuts when I was a kid.
