WHY NOTERACER WORKS
Sight-reading is a speed game. The gap between a struggling reader and a fluent one is reaction time on each note. NoteRacer turns that into focused, gamified reps that compound — five minutes a day really does add up.
Free to download. Start your first race and watch your reading speed climb.
I just started using the app a day ago but I am loving the features. It is helping me learn the concept of reading. It is of course challenging but I am game. But the way they have timed games to help you read with a speed. I’m not at that level yet but it’s a great learning tool. Would I recommend this app? Absolutely and if you can join a class or take a private class to help you along the way. Also it takes time so I suggest take your time. Enjoy. No I am not a paid reviewer. See you around the piano.🙂
Great app for learning notes

I hardly knew bass clef notes and this has helped tremendously. I love that you can customize the range you want to learn, toggle on and off sharps and flats, and then test your skill with the game. It is hard and challenging but it is great. I think the leaderboard feature needs some work (not sure why the leader has 8 but second place has 35) and it would be nice if it didn’t duplicate the same person with the same score.
Perfect app

Super simple app, very well executed.If you need to work on sight reading, there's lots of apps similar to this one that do the same thing. But this is the most nicely designed one. Sleek, simple, easy. Nothing distracting, no annoying user-interface flaws -- just a smooth experience practicing notes. Love it!
Great app!

I personally think this app is great. Its easy to use and totally worth the price. I would quickly change my rating from a 4 to 5 star if they had the option to slow down the notes in the game mode. I think its a great concept but the notes speed up way too fast. It would be nice if there was a setting function to either have the speed ramp up slower or keep the notes coming at a steady, adjustable speed. I would recommend this app for sure!
