A little too skinny

Darling?

Trust me, I’m 9 and I have very tiny and fat fingers, I’m also very small, I get that the piano keys are supposed to be skinny but like can u make it so we can zoom in, or, make the piano keys a little bigger


Money pit

Warning:I poured way too much money into this, but to find I don't really like any of the so called grand piano sounds.


Important Message for The Developers (as well as the consumers)

Fadi.93

Dear developers of Colossus Piano First of all, congratulations for making the most realistic piano sounds on IOS; they are simply the best I've heard (especially, Colossus Concert Grand, 14 GB). Having said that, please note that there is a Major Issue with the app interface; the app crashes whenever i swipe left and right to change piano models, especially, when i swipe between the Vintage Upright and the white upright "pianino" medels. The app keeps crashing unless i choose the first piano (Colossus Concert Grand). This is not an isolated issue as i found out there are other people complaining about it, and it is a deal breaker, especially, in a live situation. The device I am using is an Ipad Air 3rd generation (2019) model. Please fix the issue and i will be more than happy to give 5 stars Rating.. Thank you in advance.


Buggy and hardly ever updated

No real Functionalty

I used to love this app. It sounds great and is an excellent piano - When it works. The problem is there have been major stability issues for ever a year and even after contacting the developer to report crashes and bugs, there hasn't been an update in 8 months to fix anything. The lack up updates means simple things like proper support for integration with new iOS 13 functionality is also not available. I was forced to start using another piano since it's so unstable. I can't get a refund so I'm out almost $100. The best one I've found so far is the Ravenscroft 275 app. It lacks a couple minor features, but you probably won't miss them and the sound is superb.


Most Realistic Representation of Pianos

Chrisbowmusic

Colossus Piano is THE most realistic sounding piano (and EP) app currently available. If you want a piano that has been compressed and sits well in a mix right out-the-box, try Korg Module or Neo-Soul keys; I have those as well. However, for uncompressed ultra-realism, with a very wide dynamic range, the Colossus is best. The main piano is 14gb in size, a hint to how articulately sampled it is. This is especially great if you’re playing live jazz or classical gigs with no accompaniment. Again, this is probably overkill if you just need a pop piano that sits in a mix alongside vocals, guitars, drums, synths, bass, etc.


Great sound!

IvoryGuy

I purchased the Japanese Grand and was not disappointed. Keep in mind I have not listened and tested other popular piano apps such as iGrand/Ravenscroft. Previously I was using Garage Band and Music Studio, and thought an upgrade was needed. I rolled the dice and went with Colossus and I am a happy customer.


Never ceases to amaze me .

App developers need a huge factory overhaul of their moral compass. It’s went the way of Captain Jack's. They always find a different way to fraud. I get to download a free piano which comes with my x-37 Air. Except, the piano is missing. Non functional after I down downloaded it into my iTunes library. It is there in my iTunes storage, not ever to be removed and completely silent. You guys took me to another level. The last app I bought as an experiment. A game. GOF3. I paid as an experiment 365$ to pay to win. It was a disastrous crude same level game. You guys win the crown for now at least u could have added an untuned honky tonk bar piano. Just please take it out of my folder after I delete it, in 5-4-3-2-1-Mark.


Nothing much to say... but best of the best

DutchDust

If you want a solid symphonic instrument catalog as a midi keyboard lover, look no further than Crudebyte Apps. Easiest midi connect ever. Very unsatisfied with other large name companies interfaces. This is WORTH EVERY PENNY in software and connection! No one will beat what Christian is doing. This is my first review ever on iTunes apps and really felt the need to say thank you and job well done! The idea of REAL super fidelity recorded instruments with velocity/instant use track sound is spot on. The high SSD storage space is also worth it no question once you hear. The HEAVY BRASS app is also a must have! SEVEN STARS *******


Keeps Crashing in Au Mode

Elvehornacek

I love the sound quality of this piano, but unfortunately it’s been useless for me since I can’t load it into any daw without it crashing within the first two minutes. This issue happens in many programs that use to make music on the iPad Pro 10.5 (iOS 11.3). My hope is that you can work on this as soon as possible. When this problem is fixed then, I’ll give it a better rating.


Just don't get it

Bill fusion

The app is free, but useless until you buy an IAP which cost money and quite a bit ( does not show until downloaded) 29-49 USD Strange that other similar apps at least give some basic function, but this time s just window dressing They do have some good apps but somebody was not thinking when they hey market the s one
