DOWNLOAD THIS APP RN!

Omg this app is a dream come true I’ve always wanted to learn how to play the piano and this app helped me with a lot of things.

If you haven’t downloaded this app IM TELLING U DOWNLOAD IT. ITS SOOOOOO GOOD( it helps u with a lot of things, even knowing the notes of the piano/keyboard)

Best game ever!

I love learning to play the piano I know I mean keyboard really high learn so well it’s a really good game and it helps me learn a lot of stuff I’m playing right now I got it last year and it’s really good I recommend the game!

TERRIBLE APP

I downloaded this app so I could practice reading sheet music and learn to play songs I liked. It looked like it would give me access to heaps of popular songs, and help improve my playing.
This is NOT the case.

I DID NOT THINK YOU WOULD HAVE TO SUBSCRIBE TO GET ACCESS TO BARELY ANY SONGS.

Basically, this app teaches you the basics of piano playing, and once you’re interested and want to play, you can’t because you have to subscribe to be able to access the song library **THIS HARDLY INCLUDES ANY POPULAR SONGS!***

This app was a massive waste of time. I thought it would be better than other piano apps because you wouldn’t have to pay, but I guess it’s just as bad as the rest of them.

If you don’t want to waste your time and money, DONT DOWNLOAD. I love playing piano, but this app took advantage of my passion just to get me to pay! What a waste of time.

Thank you

I love this app so much

Needs a lot of improvement

I was excited about this for about the first ten lessons. I thought it was a great app for beginners because they ease you into music theory and proper technique. The mini bird game is a great feature to get you to practice sight reading. The quizzes are also helpful with learning more about music. They jump right into recognizable and even some contemporary music to get you excited to practice. Piano Academy is promising, but there are a few missing features and frustrating things that won’t be making me subscribe.

The main issue for me is that once you get further in, you’re thrown straight into changing hand positions without being eased into it. So your learning progress slows by a lot. A related problem is that you can’t practice sections first. There’s no option to scroll to specific measures of a song if you’re having trouble with just certain parts. You have to just play through the whole thing. The slow and fast training options aren’t really as useful as being able to practice by sections first.

Piano Academy also has more note recognition issues than other apps I’ve tried even when I used headphones. Probably would need a midi connector to fix this.

Response from developer

Hi there and thank you for the detailed feedback! We are working on improving some of the issues you mentioned (note recognition, scroll back). As you suspected, you can connect your mobile device to the app via midi, which will result in flawless note recognition.

I like this app a lot

I like this app a lot but I have one thing that I do not like about this app and that is this: i’ve use this app before and the older version it how do you go straight to the song book after 10 minutes was up I wish you could do that again because that is very nice to me so then you could practice for 10 minutes and then you can get in some songs but instead you’re having us work for five minutes and then you go to the song book for five minutes and then your 10 minutes is up I wish you could redo that where it automatically sends you to the song book again hope you can respond to this and fix this in the next update thank you

This game is AWESOME

You need to play it

Good but..

I enjoyed this game really much at first when I downloaded it. But when the practice time was over for each day, I got frustrated. Can you please make the time longer for people who don’t pay? I had to practice by myself after 10 mins of practicing online. It would mean a lot to me if you could make the time longer. About 20 mins would do. Thanks!

Update: Sudden Glitching
It all was well and I tried out premium, which is awesome. Then came the glitches. First, I finished one course and closed the app. The next day, I came on again and it all restart. I had to skip again to do the lesson and there’s another glitch where when you play a note during a lesson, it’s still black and the color doesn’t show up. I don’t know why there’s sudden glitching and I would love it if you could fix these bugs. Another star is gone.

Best Piano game ever

When I started playing this I was thinking is this going to teach me piano effectively? And it did! The moment I realised I was making progress I smiled so much! And the positive feedback that it gives you AND step-by-step teaching makes it the perfect game for people who have never played piano but want to start learning! I hope this review has helped people make a decision!
