Excellent learning app
05/04/2023

This is a really nice, thoughtfully designed app. The structured lessons give great guidance, but you aren’t locked into or out of any material. What I really like is the number and variety of technique exercises which are included; there are lessons on hand independence, a variety of scales, finger agility and articulation. The song selection is nice, and well-categorized by skill level, but IMO it’s the exercises which really set Skoove apart from other apps in this niche.The lesson plan uses simplified versions of songs to introduce music theory concepts. More focused practice on those concepts can usually be found in the technique exercises. The lesson structure also gives you guidance on HOW to learn that will last beyond the app; practice each hand separately, then put them together, then slowly build your speed. It builds good habits without being pushy about it. I went through the free trial period of a couple other apps, and have used a method book, but switched to Skoove. I started out with the three-month membership, but recently upgraded to a year subscription; IMO, this app is worth paying money for. I’ve put roughly 150–200 hours of practice in with this app, and still haven’t reached the end of the content; there are whole courses I haven’t touched yet. Recommended!

THEY MAKE YOU PAY FOR A REASON (please read 🤗)

I am writing this review to hopefully help people understand that they are making you pay because they need money. I’ve been seeing reviews about people mad about having to pay. I get you don’t want to pay but like don’t pay if you don’t want to pay just get on some thing else and hopefully I hope you find what you want, I think that this app is really great and I’m really grateful to have an app that can teach me how to play it would be cool I didn’t even have you pay but it is completely understandable and I’m just writing to say please stop giving them bad reviews about having to pay. Paying is what you expect from the thing that gives you lessons and some thing you would usually have to pay for. OK that’s all. Hope you enjoy this app if you download it.

As someone who is intermediate (sheetless) and practices piano daily, this app is useless to me. I originally hoped it would help me learn to read sheet music, but it's frustrating to try to use if you don't know sheet music. If you want it to learn songs, forget it. The finger placement previews on a lot of double handed songs thoughtlessly block the keys from sight making you guess what keys are being hit if you can't read notes. If you have a specific song in mind- you'll need to tediously scroll through 3 placement levels to find it. There's no search methods for specific songs. The notes sound sharp and cheap like a toy piano which gets annoying after guessing keys incorrectly and the narrators voice is also sharp and annoying. This app was not for me which is unfortunate because I spent money on it hoping it would be good since there's no available tutorial option.My genuine feedback is to give people a tutorial so they're not upset and feel inclined to leave bad reviews warning people about to spend money.Please have search & narrator options, maybe even some options for learning sheet music easier without trying to annoying wanna-be Rosetta Stone method.

Hi there, we're sorry to hear you didn't enjoy the Skoove interface. But great news! We have just release a completely updated version of Skoove for iOS with a user friendly redesign of our interface. I know it can be frustrating as Intermediate pianist playing more simple pieces, but if you do not know how to read sheet music we would recommend starting from the Beginner level where we teach more basic notation so you can build up your knowledge of note placement on the stave and reading note rhythms. In regards to a tutorial, we offer a 7 Day Free Trial so people can take some time to get to know Skoove before making any purchases. The trial can be cancelled at any time during the trial period if you do not intend to continue with the subscription. Regards, Your Skoove Team

Could Be Great, But Loves To Frustrate!

I wanted to bad to love this app, and I do quite enjoy it and I have learned a lot with it. There are things it does that makes learning for a beginner really hard and frustrating. It can miss reading or hearing a note multiple times to the point of I have to stop and keep hitting said note hard and loud until it decides ok I got it. As if this isn’t bad enough every 20 seconds I get a pop up smack in the middle of the screen saying it is taking longer than usual and won’t close until I click wait or exit.... Seriously are you kidding me? First of all when this pops up the app and song is working just fine and playing along..... even if it was “slow” to the app while are you telling me this? And why does it need to be in a pop up that blocks my notes and won’t go away until I interact with it? Forcing me yet again to stop playing to address something that isn’t even an issue. There is a lot this app does right, but there are some glaring issues that make continued use frustrating on a daily basis.
