The big knock against smartphones, iPods and iPads is that no one really needs one. There is no question you can get by without any of the nearly 300,000 mobile apps on the market. But if you ever felt the need to express yourself with music, and you test out some of the better apps, your definition of “need” may quickly wither. Tricked out with apps like Glee ($1), Band ($4), Bebot ($2) and others, the iPhone is history’s most versatile music creation device. The iPad offers a different and, in many ways, expanded dimension to the iPhone’s musical abilities, with apps like Magic Piano ($1), Air Harp ($2), Xewton Music Studio ($15) and Korg’s iElectribe ($10). And although users of other types of mobile phones, like the Android and the BlackBerry, are so far without these particular apps, they can still find a few decent ones to help tap into Read More

blowing in the wind == new take on "social"
abandon$hip 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
After Sonic Lighter and Ocarina, I've come to deeply appreciate what Smule is doing - uh whatever that is (I can't put my finger on it, but it's incredibly refreshing). Zephyr is quite different from a lighter, a fire cracker, an ocarina, and yet it is somehow consistent. Zephyr basically captures and sonifies your gestures as you create an image, a greeting, a slogan, an equation, a symbol, and shares it with the world, anonymously. What Smule is demonstrating once again is that you don't need to know "who" in order to be "social" and compelling! In the globe view (a trademark Smule feature by now) I am seeing peace signs, equations, logos, greetings, and drawings as they travel around the world, literally. There is something magical about all this...
Cool
jmm1313 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
This is actually pretty cool! You can draw pictures or write stuff, send it off and it will go to a random recipient and they can reply to your message. The only thing, is there were not many people using, it so it took a while to get a message. Changes to be made: I wish it were a little more organized and I also wish it would tell me who I am talking to.

kierkegard 4.0 stars Version: 1.0
it's like passing notes in class - but the whole world is the classroom. this is a sweet app - it would be nice if the sounds had musical meaning - ie they were repeatable and predictable - and even perhaps the scale or mode could be set like the ocarina.
Gets Boring Fast
john.me 2.0 stars Version: 1.0
I'm a big smule fan, but this app is far too limited. Your "pictures" go out into the world, never to be heard from again. You can't know if anyone "loved" it and you can't trace its progress. You have VERY limited control over the sounds, and the drawing tools are VERY crude. You will get quickly bored. But it might be worth 99 cents, so get this app if you don't expect much out of it.
So cool! (plus my suggestions to make it even cooler)
papagena1 5.0 stars Version: 1.2
I love this app. There is something about the blowing snowflakes and the sound of the wind that makes people all over the world want to send warm, peaceful messages to each other. It's awesome seeing my messages that have gone to other continents! Here are my suggestions to make it even better: 1. Make it clearer whether the button that looks like >> is used to forward a message you like to others, or to skip the message you're viewing. 2. Make it possible to delete your own messages. I have some where I was just practicing, and I don't want to see them any more every time I look through "my messages". 3. I don't understand how my messages have been sent 35 times but only "loved" 5 times. Is there a way that others are re-sending my messages without loving them? It's also confusing because when I look at "my messages" Zephyr shows me a map of their progress through the world, and my messages have made many more than five stops. 4. There should be a way to delete the last stroke without using the two-finger thing, so you can get rid of a mistake without getting rid of other stuff that you want to keep. 5. It would be cool if you could draw with more than one of the tools (snowflakes, clover) in one message. 6. There should be some kind of rating system (other than "top messages") so I can see the really cool ones that people have done without wading through all the ones that say "hi." (Some of the "top messages" which have been circulated widely are really boring. I want to see the awesome ones done by artists.) 7. There should be a clearer distinction between when you are really "clearing" the message and starting over, vs. when it will show more than one screen when you send it. I tried to erase one and start over, but when I sent it, it showed the first draft, the erasing, and the second draft. 8. How do you tell when someone's message is "over"? Sometimes I want to forward them before they end, but I accidentally hit forward too soon, and it stops it in the middle. Those are my suggestions - fantastic app!
Sweetness

What more can you say?
Very Cool
♂Safari♂ 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
Does what it says, very nice. Needs a little more though, maybe different size snowflakes or more drawing tools. Other than that very good app
Very, very cool!
Jimbobo Joe 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
This is a clever little application, and it is very interesting to see where the messages have gone to.
BRILLIANT!
Bentleyboys 5.0 stars Version: 1.1
So very interesting, love the graphics.
Once again
ar6557 4.0 stars Version: 1.1
Another captivating app by smule. I love it!!
Super fun and addictive!
Jemeriquay 5.0 stars Version: 1.1
I love this app! It's fun to send your creations around the world and with the new update your able to see where they go!! I've had this a few days now and have already spent quite a bit of time drawing and watching others creations. Though, I do wish there were other tools to draw and write with. It would be cool, since it's the wind, that you could write with blown leaves, dust, grass, or flower petals.
Ok
Viewout1 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
It's great to send messages to the world by snow, but later it gets boring
Cool
Somebody 7382848 3.0 stars Version: 1.0
This message is for the devs. If you could limit the sending range to like your own state, it would be superb. The drawingbtools shouldn't be limited to just snow, and try putting 3d effects in. Overall nice work, but these suggestions could make this app the best in the store.
Creatively entertaining
mzlnsoccer 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
This app is avery creative way to link fellow users together to express themselves
Good
Lola the showgirl 4.0 stars Version: 1.1

Love it
disturbion 5.0 stars Version: 1.1
I love messageing people and getting replies this is the kind of the we need for the world to bring us all toghether although not many people in the middle was and Africa has this app or the iPhone ITS A MUST HAVE
Sweet app!
Cmighty 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
It just needs more features like sending a voice message along with the message, putting your nickname in it and have people know who they can send the reply to... Other than that great application from smule since ocarina! One note, remember that this just came out. ;)
Needs more
VJ55 4.0 stars Version: 1.0
This app is almost perfect. If the devs read this, here's what would make it great. Being able to see where your message has gone, being able to reply to somones message. Don't make it so anonymous.. I would like to know what happens to my drawing after I send it. And better drawing tools would be great.
I like it can't wait for the updates!
Dan.EBoy 5.0 stars Version: 1.1

Great app, although...
Pale Halo 4.0 stars Version: 1.0
I would love some extra features like the world feature on the ocarina to see how many people favorited your creation.
Needs more
BKTMan 2.0 stars Version: 1.0
It's entertaing the first couple of times - then you realize it's kind of a one-trick pony. Needs more options.
Lots of value for $99
