Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We love this app! The only thing is that we are missing our favorite song which is Beethoven Tempest Sonata No.17, Opus 31 No.2 in D Minor, Allegretto… PLEASE PUT THIS SONG BACK ON.
We did not like this at all! So glad it was a free app! This app does not effectively teach one how to play the piano.
No instructions, the sound just plays over what we are playing, so it doesn't matter what we do. This is a horrible app.
It WAS a wonderful application when it had sound! After the update to IOS 6 it lost the sound… Please fix.
The app starts and no sound….checked settings and everything. Restarted iPad still no sound…but other apps have sound…c'mon man.
Deleting this app. Can't log in, sounds really horrible and haven't learned anything, plus it looks like we have to spend money to play if we could ever get it to work.
We love the our grandfathers clock song.
When we tap on this app all it does is go right back to the home screen we would of appreciated it if they just would have left it the way it was.
Great app and all but after update it wouldn't open we deleted then download it again and we put our account info in and check for the song we bought and they weren't there good thing we didn't spend any real money only point so its not a lost to us :(.
It won't let u get new songs and we can't hear it it dosent make noise anymore since the last update.hate this app.
We thought we could take something from This app back to our piano but the notes dono really match the background music and it doesnt teach you Anything it just Plays background music and tells u the notes for the melody.
When we player this game it was awesome…. But, now on the real piano we can figure out these keys and we love it.
U should add K-Pop songs as well.
We love the layout of this game, it makes playing the real piano much easier!! Though we really wish you guys would include JPop in America.
Our grand daughter is better at this than we are. She has better eye/hand coordination. But we think it's fun. We'd like more selections.
All the registration is stupid we wanted to play it as soon as it was downloaded.
U have to spend real money to use this app.
This is not what we planned the app should be like. So we hated it!!!!! Wouldn't let us log in!!! Needs improvement : (!!!!! We mean it.
Okay, so we're a big piano fan, we've played all our life, and when we came across this app, we thought it was a great idea. We mean it's free right? Well we were terribly mistaken. This app requires you to buy a so called "ticket" when you want to "learn" or play a popular or ideal song, and you are only allowed to play it for either 7 or 30 days (may we just remind you, you have to pay real money, just to be able to play a song for a limited time!). You also have the option of using PP which can also be used to purchase songs (mostly classical) that you may have in your piano lesson library forever. Occasionally you also have to purchase PP as well. We recommend that you change the policy for the "ticket" songs, and just let people play the songs forever. We mean they're spending more money than could possibly buy a good app game from the apple store. Another issue that has crossed our path is that this app takes EONS to load. When we first open it, it takes about 5 minutes to get to the first slide that tells you about PP. Then it practically feels as if it will never load again after that and you're just left with a black screen. Only when you're lucky does this app get you to the main page. Then once you click to do something on the app, it takes another couple EONS to load, and all you end up with is a black screen. We're truly sorry for the lengthy inconvenience of this review, but there was no other way we could have explained the persisting problems resulting of this app. Please fix this with an update, but if not, we recommend all future users to look into another non-problematic app. Trust us, this app is not worth your time or your money for that matter. We're sure we will try this app again only if the inconvenient issues are resolved. Thank you. :D.
We had finally got in after figuring out the whole email thing, but when we got on we tried playing but we couldnt hear the music! Fail…. Oh, and it doesnt even teach piano.
You go through the numerous steps of having to sign up, waiting activation email, etc and then unable to log on to use the program. Complete waste of time. Should at least be able to play as a "guest" if the servers are not functional to allow users login access.
Registration is odd, the instructions for entering your email is in really poor English. After all that the first song we were going to play cost $5.99 – what a scam.
We have had this app since before they made all of the changes and now they dont allow us to go into the piano battles and the new layout of the pianos are confusing this app was better off as it was and free should mean free not you can download this for free but after you download this you can bearly do anything unless you spend a little money. Not to mention that this has not helped us at all when it comes to piano our fingers already move fast you eould think they would actualy teach us how to play piano but when ever we manage to figure out a song without the notes and go to play it the notes are incorrect for that song same rithem different notes this was so much better the way it was.
This is not free….stop saying it is.
The Game is Fun to Play and it connects you with classical musics more. The the crap is that you need to buy more musics if you want to play but anyway at least you get one song every week for free to play…thought only for short time but okay. We love it. :).
We love to play Chopin songs on it! And about registration issue, just skip that. The app allow you to skip clicking to cancel.
We love this app sooo much… We're addicted! We donny even play piano, but find itfun .. Now working march.
We used to love playing this but then you updated it!!!! Please change it back and we wanna play the pop songs (Rihanna etc.) without paying.
..if only it let us register as it requires us to do! We don't have enough email addresses to keep trying to register. Is someone listening.
Garbage app. Said our email address was already registered and when we tried it, there was no sound.
It won't even let us play the game it just keeps on saying loading even though we haven't played the game yet we can already tell its a bad game from the reviews we've seen so our advice to you is don't even bother getting this game because it is apsolutely the worst game you will ever play in your intire life.But that is just our thought if you want to play this game be our guest.:).
We are a 8year old we don't have a gmail ocount so what other way can we get in .MAKE IT BETER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hm we're wating.
Dumb. This is like a piano version of Guitar Hero. We'd rather play Guitar Hero. Girls are more into guitars than pianos. Why would they advertise this app with monster truck apps.
We haven't even played the game and can already tell it is horrible. We tried to register our email, and it claims our email is already registered. We've never played this game in our life, so how is our email already registered? So, giving the benefit of the doubt, we enter our email as if maybe we did and just forgot our login info, but it claims it's not registered either. Glad we didn't buy it!!! We would've been highly upset! Maybe it's a good thing for some, but for us it was crap. :(.
We have a real piano in our house and we use the falling notes to play our actual piano. So far we learned how to play Erik Satie's 'Gymnopedie' and 'Fr Elise'. We didn't need to hire an instructor. Money saved for us! :).
Update fixed it now it works greatly very fun.
Songs included are far from enjoyable. The songs people actually know are only available after paying $6… It's basically tap tap revenge but with more keys. A decent way to spend your time.
It's not bad but its good and we're from new York :).
This app is terrible.Never will we ever play this app again DELETE!!!!.
This is the worst game on the world people that want this don't get it and if you like it your weird.
Omg! If mozart where alive, he couldn't even play this game. It's nearly impossible. We're a musician by trade and found this app to b unplayable. How are u ppl giving it 5 stars? We guess there are some very talented iOS musicians out there.
We used to LOVE this we thought it was the best app ever! But then we got the stupid update and now they just make it complicated! Give us back the old app we loved so much! Maybe people like it simple.
This new update ruined all hard work!!!!!!! We were so good until you added the bigger key board and how it is so thin and slanted so you dont even know were to hit the board!!!!!!!!! It makes us sooooooooooooooo mad that now we can't use our favorite app!!!!!! We were so close to getting a real piano!!! FORGET IT.
We sign up twice and it say user does not exist.
It is really bad u can't play it because it makes u log in but u do not have a password do not get this game u will cry when u end up paying money trust us we are 10 years old.
Would probably be a good app if we could hear anything but we can't. So 1 star.
Can't hear anything! We hate updates.
This Is the Most BEST game EVer!!!People,don't listen to what those other people say how this is terrible,this game is cool!!!!!it is so awesome with a capital A!!!!music is beautiful,enjoy it while u can.
If zero stars or negative were available it would be too high! We can't even get past the registration! We carefully typed in a user name and password and it says it takes it, we get the email and click the link. But then try to log in but it doesn't find us. This isn't the first time we've ever used a computer! Come on! So we try the recovery option, same thing! So we're deleting it after we're done here! Too bad… App support and Developer pages are in Japanese, hmm we don't have time to learn it before resolving the login. If we had to pay for we'd request a refund! Deleting.
The registration process for this app is ridiculous and doesn't work. We've tried several times to set up an account, gone through the whole process, received confirmation notices only to be told that "user does not exist" when we attempt to login. Uninstalling.
