Awesome app but requires updating
Used to be my favorite app but it has no sound and the UI is glitching

Jordan Rudess, the world-renowned keyboardist for Dream Theater says:
"ThumbJam stands at the very top of the overcrowded music app world. The sounds included absolutely rival those found in pro instruments and making music on the app is a total joy. The only problem I have with this app is that I did not make it myself! Luckily, I'm able to work with the developer and offer a few good feature ideas as well as some choice sounds from my personal collection!"
---======----
Even if you've only played air guitar, ThumbJam lets you sound like a pro. Pick an instrument and jam -- with all the scales to choose from you'll never hit a wrong note. The high quality instrument samples will make you sound like you just skipped years of music lessons.
For the performing musician, this app is awesome for soloing on an instrument you didn't bring along. Play in any key, any style -- go from a string ensemble to a wailing guitar. ThumbJam was developed and tested by musicians to feel and sound like a real instrument. You'll be surprised at how expressive it can be, make sure to check out the videos and audio at thumbjam.com.
ThumbJam makes use of tilt and shake to add vibrato, tremolo, note bends, and volume swells for more realistic and expressive results. It supports up to five (eleven on iPad) simultaneous touches and up to 32 voice polyphony, for each of up to 8 loaded instruments! Delay and stereo reverb add depth to the sound, and a resonant lowpass filter gives you more tone shaping power. Put on your headphones or plug in to your home stereo to experience some of the highest quality instruments in the App Store, even after all these years!
Build your own loops from the ground up or import your favorites and jam from there. Layer as many loops as you want, with different instruments for each. Export your loops as audio files via WiFi. Copy and paste audio from other apps using AudioCopy/Paste as well the general pasteboard, via email, AudioShare, iTunes Document Sharing, Files, or open directly in another application. Supports Audiobus and InterApp Audio for streaming sound to/from other apps in real-time, including state save/restore with Audiobus 3.
Extensive MIDI input and output support over WiFi or Bluetooth, with any CoreMidi compatible device, or other apps on the same iOS device with virtual MIDI. Now also supports Ableton Link for tight sync between apps on the same network. Supports MPE input and output (and did so before it was even a thing)!
New powerful arpeggiator feature lets you play patterns with perfect time sync, from the screen or via MIDI control.
The app includes a huge variety of scales, from western to eastern. Save your favorites for quick access, or create your own in-app. You can even import new scales in the Scala format for complete flexibility.
You can also record your own multi-sampled instruments using a built-in or attached microphone, or from file import.

No sound, doesn't react anymore since iOS13
I used to love this app and used it a lot. But lately it doesn't do anything anymore. I removed and installed it again but that didn't help. I hope the app will be up to date again soon.
Crashes, lack of updates
I’m experiencing frequent crashes on iPad air2 iOS 12.3.2 . Could use more presets. Promisses made at the forum are often not delivered. Server is no longer working. Such a shame, it has some great sounds, and really nice interface. Five stars for sound , zero for usability. I will buy it again once updated.
Just use all your thumbs!
Makes a musician of us...
Top app
Nog steeds een top app. Super realistisch geluid en veel mogelijkheden.
Super App!!!
So much fun playing and jamming with this very musical app! High quality sounds. Great MIDI function. One of my favorite apps! More solo instruments like HQ sopranosax would be very welcome.
Fabulous!
Undoubtedly my favorite music app. Still discovering all its possibilities. The quality of the instruments is amazing, but what I enjoy most is to use it as a Midi input device for Logic Pro.
This an app I actually use to make music
Splendid app Very playable, expressive interface. Good sounds. Responds to touch, motion and tilt, and uses them musically. Midi out, too. Programmers are keeping it up to date with current technologies like audiobus for several years now! Yay! This is an app I actually use to make music. I have many, but this one is the best.
Inspiring PLayfull Professional
After trying a lot of different music apps this one stands out for me. It made me forget about technochat and just play, make music. The sounds are great and very expressive and the ui is never in the way. Everything is very well implemented. import export audio copy paste core midi . No hickups no clompains. Definitly recommended
Nope (2)
Probleem begint wanneer ik diverse loops wil saven (kan op verschillende manieren). Daarna krijg ik geen geluid meer. Tevens bestaat het serveradres niet hetgeen opgegeven door thumbjam. Gaat lekker zo.
