App Description

Sound Waves is an easy to use piano and drum kit player which works by aiming your device in different directions. Each direction produces a different sound and thus you can play a piano or drum kit by moving the device around!

Watch as note-shaped confetti falls from the screen every time you play a note/beat.

The app uses motion data within the device to know which direction your device is facing.

• Dark mode is supported
• Small haptics are included when interacting, improving the overall experience
• Users can share and edit their pieces, deciding whether to allow screen capture on its own or allow voice recording
• Siri Shortcuts are available to help you easily open and use the app whenever you need
• Notifications are available to remind you to play more awesome music
• Voice Over is supported
• 3D Touch is supported

The app contains 36 different notes/drum kit parts, which can be played by moving the device 90º degrees left and right and 45º up and down - simulating a 3D environment in front of you.

The app contains no ads or in-app purchases.
