Summary

I’m sure there must be few (hobby) musicians out there who are familiar with the following scenario: you’re out and about when all of a sudden inspiration strikes and you can’t wait to start working on your next track. Problem is, you’re nowhere near your instrument and/or computer, and so recording the symphony you hear in your head proves to be difficult.


That’s where Android comes into play! SplashPlay may be just the thing you’re after.


Having SplashPlay on your Android device is virtually (in the true sense of the word) like always carrying your guitar around with you. This app let’s you try out and learn new songs, as well as upload tracks via a SplashPlay account. More details in today’s review.
 

Features & Use

Section rating:

SplashPlay is a sort of mobile guitar-lessons-machine.


Download songs from the SplashPlay website and upload them to your device. The app teaches you how to play guitar using light signals. However, so-called “hardware support – namely SplashPod and Lightpanel (for the guitar) – are required to load chords from your phone to the hardware.


That being said, even if you don’t want to invest in the hardware and don’t count on using SplashPlay as a learning tool, it’s still a good app to use for composing songs, be it on the go or when travelling by train or bus… whenever your creative muse pays you a visit, basically.
 

Screen & Controls

Section rating:

SplashPlay’s GUI design is very good—neat and tidy, just the way we like it! Thanks to a logical setup, it’s easy getting the hang of this app. Controls are equally intuitive and easy to use. To top it all off, there’s a thorough help menu which assists users when it comes to controls, etc.

Speed & Stability

Section rating:

SplashPlay's performance is very good: smooth, fast, and even when you’ve been using the app for a while it keeps going strong, without any glitches in efficiency or stability. There were no crashes and no lagging throughout the testing phase.


The same thing goes for the interaction between app and website: up/downloading songs via the account takes but an instance.


The sound quality is clear and the animations didn’t flicker or lag when a track was being played.
 

Price/Performance Ratio

Section rating:

SplashPlay can be downloaded for free from the Android Market. However, you will have to pay for an extra hardware in order to make use of all of the app’s functions.

Change date on phone by a few years and the app works.. I believe its still in beta but will need a lot more downloadable content. Otherwise great!

Sagar, Sep 27, 2009
Rubbish it says trial period has ended as soon as I opened it. If its free, why is there a trial? This is a short review from HTC hero. I dunno others
crystal, Sep 24, 2009
The trial ended before i could even start playing!
Jason, Sep 24, 2009
Good idea but needs to be free. The trial doesnt work right probably because the app cant figure out how long its been on your phone which locks it
John, Sep 23, 2009
Crapp, trial ended before i even used it.
akonius, Sep 16, 2009
How stupid, as soon as you open the app for the 1st time...you get a "trial period has ended" message. You never get a chance to even try out thr app!
Heng, Sep 10, 2009
