Piano Accordion Hack 1.3 + Redeem Codes

I’m frankly a bit surprised to see all the lukewarm and even negative reviews. I purchased this app a few weeks ago with the aim of working on adding more bass button usage into my playing. It has been an absolute revelation! I suppose one’s satisfaction with the app may have a lot to do with how it’s used. I am not trying to use it to “play” the accordion, but just for technique and composition. The only thing I wish for is easier access to the full keyboard. But, since I’m primarily using it for the bass buttons, I don’t find that a huge impediment.

It’s just so much easier than strapping on my 30lb squeezebox! And I can either turn the volume down, or use headphones (corded, as BT have too much lag) to play anywhere and never disturb others.

I love this app. The sounds are realistic, very responsive good overall. The only thing this app lacks is volume. With the volume all the way up it is not as loud as other accordion apps that i have. Please raise the volume.

This app is wonderful and the fact that the spacing of all the keys and bass buttons is similar to the actual thing (I checked because I plan on building muscle memory) is very helpful for practice. I also found that other accordion apps have a slight lag when hitting the keys, while this one has perceptively none. It's a great practice tool when you can't lug around your real accordion and the ads aren't obtrusive. Super Great! I'm eternally grateful to the person who created this.

More full-featured than other piano accordion apps I've tried. I like the full keyboard and 120 bass buttons. I also appreciate being able to resize the keyboard to fit my hands. NOTE: You have to scroll to see the sixth row of buttons (diminished 7ths).

My few quibbles which add up to a docked star:
-Having to press the function button to scroll is awkward and difficult to do in the midst of a song. Would be nice to be able to turn that off in settings, so you could just swipe to scroll without pressing the function button. Probably best for resizing to still require the function button.
-I wish you could choose the screen orientation. It's awkward using headphones when the device is upside down. Would be nice to be able to flip it 180 degrees.
-G#5 (highest black key) plays the wrong tone. It sounds the same as G5. Not a big deal because I don't use it frequently. But it should be fixed.
-The key and button labels (key names and bass names) are right side up to someone else who is watching me play, but they are upside down to me as I look down while I play.

Why no diminished buttons? Otherwise it seems like a decent app.

This is a really handy app! I use it on an iPad 3 primarily for learning bass runs and chord locations when I can't practice on an accordion. The sounds are decent enough and the player can switch between musette and master. I haven't found any buggy issues or unstable operation.

I only have some minor suggestions that are really just wish-list items. The app works fine as-is but could be even better.

I like another reviewer's idea of allowing the chord names to be flipped over so that the player can read them more easily.

It would also be great if the treble side could be reduced a bit more with the slider such that all six bass and chord rows are playable at once without scrolling. Currently the treble side can be enlarged to fill much of the screen but cannot be reduced to less than about half the screen.

Excellent work, thanks so much!

Sounds good. Buttons are big enough.

Before it's all free and they made an update to buy and unlock the app features it's really not worth it , don't spend a penny for it

especially wonderful for beginners with a real accordion to understand bass button relationships.
really helpful and fun!
