Very easy & helpful :)
This is the first time I've written a review for an app. I really love this one, I've always wanted to learn to play the piano and it takes you step by step from the beginning. You can tell the creators have put a lot of time and live into this app. I especially love that the entire program is currently free, which most apps only give you a lesson or two before making you pay x amount of money a month.
I have one complaint about this app. I use the on screen keyboard and it's way too small, it's hard to correctly hit keys without insane accuracy. I do plan on getting a starter keyboard though, since I feel I have a strong understanding of the basics to continue with lessons.
Thanks for the great lessons guys 😁😁

Omg I love this app
I tried other Piano apps (like that terrible Joy one) and this one is awesome! The lessons are simple, ordered well, and focused on getting you to play songs you know as quickly as possible, even when you only play 3 notes.
The app works great—no awkward “practice” modes when you don’t get things perfectly right. You just replay the songs over again as many times as you need. It’s easy to navigate so that both my son and I can go at our own paces. (Although I just put this on his iPad so he’ll stop using mine.)
I’m addicted to this app, and super excited about learning piano this way. And it’s free, which is amazing. I sound like I got paid to write this (not true), and I would totally pay for this app.

Great for beginners - Tedious for others
It’s great for beginners! There’s just two things I’m not a fan of. When I first downloaded this app, I didn’t have a real keyboard available to me, so I had to use the virtual one in the app. The problem is the keys are smaller than my fingers, so it’s hard to make sure you hit them perfectly. I found that hitting them slightly to the side either wasn’t recognized, or was recognized as the note next to the correct key. But obviously, this will not be a problem for those who have a physical piano/keyboard available to them. Another criticism that I have is that you have to unlock everything starting from the very beginning. That’s great for beginners, and I understand that’s who this is meant for. But it would be nice for those who already know a little bit, or those who play other instruments and already know what clef and a staff are to be able to start at their current skill level and skip what they’ve already learned elsewhere. Though with that said, it seems that the lessons are fairly quick, so it’s not the end of the world. It’s just an annoyance for those who aren’t complete beginners who have no musical knowledge under their belt, going into this.
