Simply Piano- Apprenez Piano 4+

I took some piano lessons as a kid and played for a few years. But I was never excited nor did I practice much. And, honestly wasn’t very good to at playing the piano. Forward 35 years (in the midst of Covid 19), I had an intense desire to play the piano. And I had the time to learn and practice! I purchased an electric piano online and downloaded Simply Piano. I realized as I went though lessons that I was relearning everything. And they do such a nice job of keeping me engaged. I was enjoying it! So much that I started to look forward to learning new lessons, which opened up more music to practice and etc. As much as I love classical music, learning and practicing modern songs that I quite well has been really fun. I can’t wait to learn the next set. And I can’t wait to get further along in the lessons to play more complex versions. The app isn’t perfect, sometimes I get frustrated when the app dings me for playing the wrong chord or tempo- when I am sure I didn’t. And it takes forever to get through it. But at the same time I guess I am getting practice... With that said, I do miss having real time feedback from a piano teacher and hope to hire one when it’s safe to do so! But bottom line is that even though the app does have an expensive subscription fee, I think it’s absolutely worth every penny. Thanks for helping me find my passion in piano!

This app is great for people who are new and willing to play piano, it gives great step by step, reminders and an amazing list of songs. The problem for me, is that I want to skip the basics because I am already in 4 years of piano so I had to go over the basics and waste 10 minutes just to unlock the songs. Also, I know that simply piano adds songs every week but right now I’m on the 7 free day trial thing so I can’t really try out the new songs, but please add an advanced section because everything is not my level, it’s too easy. I understand that this is a paid app because it easily helps beginners form their journey to become a great pianist, but other people have been reviewing bad ratings because it is paid, and they want it free - I kinda agree but it’s also kinda worth it. I don’t want to be harsh but if simply piano doesn’t add harder songs, I’ll probably delete the app so that means this company will make a bit less money because I was actually expecting more and already planning to pay for the app, but I think I might’ve changed my mind. PLEASE TRY TO ADD SONGS MORE OFTEN! Even though I do know that songs take a while to make, just even 1 new song everyday will make a change. If this updates, I will pay and give it a full rating. Please know that I am actually giving out my personal opinion and how you can make it better, and that it’s actual advice if you want to improve the app.

Oh my God, I can’t believe how much this app has changed my life. To be honest, when I just saw the ad for this app, it said that one day benefit better. After a month… After a year… And I was like, I’ll download it, but only because I know it’s not gonna work. (If that makes sense) so I downloaded it! And I thought in my head, it’s just an app it’s not gonna teach me how to play. And after one day, I had already learned piano basics! I was really surprised. And, for Christmas, I got a really great present. My mom bought the one year subscription for this app! I’ve only been playing for a week now and I already know how to sight read. You might be thinking, how did this change my life? Allow me to explain… So I take voice classes, and I do voice competitions. End of this year, I could only be in the competition if I knew how to play piano. And I could proudly say that I can play piano, things to this app. Honestly, I don’t know what I would do if this app didn’t exist. I cannot explain how grateful I am for this app. It sparked a new passion in me, and now I can do so much more. To the creators, if you’re reading this, thank you so much for making this path. I just… I’m so grateful. Thank you thank you thank you! To everyone else that’s reading this… Get. This. App. Right. Now!
