Piano 4+

Decent app. I paid to remove ads. 🙂

Question: what does “Use Gravity” in the settings do? I don’t detect any difference with it on and off.

Bug: if you slide your finger across the keyboard to play a gliss while also dragging the position slider between the low octaves and high octaves, some keys stay gray as if you’re still playing them. Furthermore, you can’t hold a finger down on a key while dragging the slider to play a multi-octave gliss.

Feature request: I wish the app could detect how hard I tap the keys and vary the volume accordingly. I’m sure that’s harder to do, especially now that Force Touch is gone — maybe even impossible. It would have to be based on the size of the detected touch (if you press harder, your finger spreads out more and contacts a larger portion of the screen), and I don’t know if there is an API for that.

Minor complaint: Some of the alternative instruments don’t sound at all like the real thing, or if they do, then only in a very narrow pitch range (Harp sounds ok up to F5, then changes abruptly at G5). The app shouldn’t let me play a C7 on the electric bass; that’s just silly. The piano sounds great!

First of all I want to begin by just stating how much I love this app! I find it very helpful that they have the letters on each of the keys. I find the app very simple and as someone who gets confused very easily I appreciate them not over complicating it. I honestly don’t see how or why anyone could rate this below 5 stars. I’ve heard people complain about the ads, but the ads are like 5 seconds long so it’s not THAT bad. And besides, they have to make money somehow! Would it be better if the app costed money? Yeah, I didn’t think so! One thing I found a little weird was that when it asked me to rate it, it said “if you love me, give me a rating,” which I thought was a little manipulative. Of course I do love the app, so I happily rated it, but if I didn’t want to rate it, it doesn’t me I don’t love it! But still, this app deserves a 5 star review as much as any 5 star review ever given. Definitely recommend!

Hello! I’m a music student and I have been using this piano app for several years at this point. However, I have finally had enough of the ad system on this app. Every time you open the app, there’s about one second where it is frozen, then an advertisement pops up. This ad always makes you wait 5 seconds before you can skip it. Normally it doesn’t aggravate me as much to wait a few seconds, however recently a new bug has been occurring on this app where there is no sound at all (which defeats the purpose of the app entirely). My current experience has been waiting 5 seconds through an annoying ad only to then realize that the app isn’t making any noise, having to close the app and sit through another ad before I can give myself a pitch. In more dire situations for those who do not have perfect pitch (like myself) this wait can be incredibly frustrating and annoying. I’m finally deleting this app and I’m sure there are better piano apps on the apple store than this.
