QuickAdvice: iToy Piano
iToyPiano ($0.99) by Hiroshi Ogawa is exactly what you might think. Do you remember those little toy pianos from your childhood? They made a sound not entirely unlike a xylophone with a cat laying on top of it. This digital toy piano replicates that sound perfectly, cat and all.
The piano keyboard has 14 keys, eight ivory and six black, and includes all notes between low and high C. Each ivory key is a pastel color of the rainbow. Each note has that nostalgic sound of a deadened piano key. You cannot play more than one note at a time, so there is no reason to mash all of the keys down at the same time. It won't work, I tried.
I found this app to be a simple, but well replicated version of a toy piano. I was impressed by how close to the original it sounded, but that is where the impressiveness stops. There is nothing else interesting about it. I've seen a lot more done in a $0.99 app.
This one only gives you about 25 seconds worth of enjoyment. You could definitely download it for your toddler to play with, but I'm not sure how many people want sticky, spaghetti-fingers all over their iPhone or iPad.
