Ratings and Reviews
Absolutely the best for improving sight reading speed!
James, you’re the best for making and releasing this for free! My sight reading has always been hampered by learning “Every Good Boy Does Fine” and “Great Big Dogs Fight Animals” as a child, and I still use those crutches to find the right note most of the time. I’m using your app to shed that thinking and wire the note to the key by practicing. This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you!
Please, app creator, I beg
This app is fine, the only one I’m sticking with out of a plethora I’ve tried but also there are three things I beg of you.
1. As other have said, at least 1 additional octave on the piano. This is my least concern. My big ask is #3. Having a 3rd octave or an option for a 3rd octave would make this app excellent.
2. The back button on the play history tab doesn’t work?? I think it’s up too high on the screen to be responsive or something…at times I’m having to quit the app and restart to get back to the Home Screen.
3. This is it. This is the one. I fully expect this to be ignored and I’ve never asked for anything from an app developer a day in my life so here I present my boon request. I really really really really really wish there was a stopwatch option instead of a timer option. As someone trying to focus on accuracy, I’d rather time UP and try to beat a time to see how many ACCURATE notes I can get, rather than feel panic at only having 10 seconds to select any notes at all. Or additionally, a non timed accuracy streak option.
That’s it. Thank you for the help learning music, it really has been valuable for my skills, if not my anxiety. Bless and have a good day🙏🫡
Best App for Reading Music!!
Not only is this a brilliant resource for learning how to read, you can also fine then your ear! On top of that, it’s free!! I couldn’t have asked for another feature and all of them work great. I would HIGHLY recommend this app to pretty much anyone that wants to learn and understand a bit more about the notes that they are playing.
