Skoove - 피아노 배우‪기‬ 4+

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!

Thank you, Jane, for leaving such a wonderful review of our piano learning app! We're honoured to have earned your praise.

I think this is the best piano tutor app out there, but it needs work. The inability for it to properly recognize notes is frustrating and interrupts flow and learning. I purchased the cords to hook up my keyboard to my iPad, so hopefully that helps, but there is no work around when playing my acoustic piano, so I'll have to play my keyboard when using this app, also frustrating. I would also like to have more control of the sheet music in the lessons. I would like to press pause and then be able to scroll through the sheet music. Right now when you hit stop it takes you back to the beginning of the sheet music automatically. At least allow me to pause it where I'm at and practice and repeat the current notes at my own pace, or have an option in the lesson to review all sheet music and scroll through it there. For what it is and the need to purchase cords, $5 a month should be the max for a subscription.

Hi Dgdg87, thank you for your valuable feedback. We are constantly striving towards improving our app and will therefore think about implementing some of the requested features. For further feedback please don't hesitate to contact us via in-app chat or email to info@skoove.com. Kind regards, your Skoove team

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
