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

Difficult switch over.
I really loved this app when playing it on my iPhone 3G but now I have swapped over to the 4s I must admit that it has been rather tricky to adjust to. The microphone seems to be far more sensitive to sound than my old phone.
But I have gotten used to it and it is working perfectly, you just need to experiment with how close you hold it to yourself.
It's the best app around!
Suggestion
This probably applies to all your instrument apps - love the way I can hear others playing but can I suggest introducing levels of skill. It appears that after 20 hours of any activity a level of mastery begins. Could your app track how long people play and let them into a higher level after 20 hours, and another after 100 etc.
Awesome! Keep up the great work Smule!
This is a great app. With a little practice, even those with no music training can play beautifully. Takes up very little space on your iPod and is a awesome bargain at just $1. This is definitely a must-have app. Those who say it isn't good obviously haven't yet worked out how to use it properly.
