Bow Quest runs on Windows PCs as well as on phones and tablets. The Windows version has the same game, the same pieces and the same account as the mobile versions, so a child can practise on the family computer and continue on a tablet.
You get the file BowQuest-2.1.0 Installer.exe. Open it and follow the steps.
What you need
- A PC with 64-bit Windows 11 (Intel or AMD processor)
- A microphone: the one built into a laptop is fine, or any USB or headset microphone
- Loudspeakers or headphones for the metronome and the piano accompaniment
- A real violin or viola
Installing and updating
- Press the download button above. The file is saved in your Downloads folder.
- Open the file. If Windows asks whether to allow the app to make changes, answer yes.
- Follow the steps of the installer, then start Bow Quest from the Start menu.
The app checks for updates when it starts and installs them by itself, so you always have the latest pieces and features.
If Windows asks whether to allow the app to use the microphone, answer yes: the game listens to your playing to score it. No audio is recorded or sent anywhere, see the privacy policy.
Mac
A macOS version is coming later. Until then, Mac households can use an iPhone or iPad. If you would like to hear when the Mac version is out, write to info@tadadaa.com.
