Sight reading from your piano
Only for iPhone

iPhone
New in 1.1: the grand staff, ledger lines and Speed Run. Play the answer on your own piano and NoteTrail drills the notes that slow you down.
You already play. NoteTrail makes reading keep up.
Most note-reading apps are built for someone touching a keyboard for the first time. NoteTrail is for the player who can get through a piece but stalls on the page, and for the teachers working with them.
NEW IN 1.1
- Grand Staff: treble and bass together, each note on the staff a pianist reads it on
- Ledger Lines: up to three lines above and below, and middle C on either staff
- Bass Sharps & Flats: accidentals in the left hand
- Speed Run: name as many notes as you can in sixty seconds and chase a personal best
- Practice next: your weakest notes on the Progress tab, with your accuracy and average time on each
PLAY THE ANSWER ON YOUR REAL PIANO
Turn on Real Piano mode and answer by playing instead of tapping. NoteTrail listens through the microphone and recognizes the note you played on an acoustic or digital piano, with no MIDI cable or adapter. It detects pitch on your device in real time and never records or uploads audio.
DRILLS THAT TARGET YOUR WEAK NOTES
A spaced-repetition engine tracks every note you hesitate on and brings it back before you forget it. Notes you already know come up less.
START WHERE YOU ACTUALLY ARE
Choose Improving, Intermediate or Advanced in one tap, and skip the first-note content. There are seven tiers:
- Free: Treble Notes, Sharps & Flats
- Pro: Bass Clef, Intervals, Grand Staff, Bass Sharps & Flats, Ledger Lines
SEE WHAT IS SLOWING YOU DOWN
Accuracy for every note you have practiced, a Practice next list of your weakest notes with your average time on each, and your recent sessions.
FOR TEACHERS AND STUDENTS
Share a practice summary from the Progress tab: overall accuracy, current streak, a per-clef breakdown and the notes that need work. Students can send it between lessons, and there are no accounts or rosters to manage.
A FEW MINUTES A DAY
Daily quests, streaks with freezes, XP and levels, so the habit survives a busy week.
NoteTrail Pro: $4.99/month or $29.99/year after a 7-day free trial. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.
Your practice data stays on your device, and you don't need an account.
