  • Good idea. Not enough settings.

    Great idea overall and I like the app. I just don’t like that. It focuses more on the game aspect rather than the learning aspect of it. I think learning is way more important. like for example why doesn’t the app instead of kicking me out of the song, Why doesn’t it wait for me to press the right note to move along, you can’t learn anything because you start hitting the wrong notes and then it ends the practice mode. Like you’re almost there. The app is almost perfect. it’s just that if people get confused and start hitting the wrong notes, don’t kick them out of the song. Just keep going and wait for them to hit the right note. It’s not that complicated. This is not guitar hero. I don’t know what you’re thinking. I like the game feature and I think that you should keep that but make it optional. I’m not gonna pay $100 a year for an app that is not absolutely perfect. It has to be Exactly what I need and I do not need guitar hero, I need a piano instructor that waits for me.

  • they purposely make it wrong so you use the app longer

    it has to be that because literally i get the note right AT THE RIGHT TIME and it STILL says i’m wrong like??? it has done it MULTIPLE times, SO many times and it KEEPS doing it. like, there’s even times where i’ll get one section completely right and the next section is the SAME section but i somehow get it wrong even though i’m doing exactly the same thing and getting everything right. and trust me, i know when it’s me messing up, i am a perfectionist. so when i see that i get it wrong and i KNOW it’s not me, it frustrates me. idk if it’s intentional or a glitch that needs to be fixed, but please FIX it. the app is good otherwise, don’t get me wrong, but that annoys me so much.

  • It’s okay

    Honestly, I’ve been playing piano for a long time on this app but my only complaints are they don’t have a good selection of songs to play. For me, I am a classical pianist but whenever I look up Bach on here it always comes up with The Backstreet Boys and that’s pretty annoying. Second of all, when I started playing on here, it didn’t tell me that you could change the notes from colored to black. I am dyslexic and now I’ve learned one way, which is colored notes, I can’t unlearn it and now I can’t read regular black notes. Now I’m not blaming anyone for my dyslexia but for me you can’t unlearn what you’ve just learned. And the app suddenly pauses in the middle of your song. Sometimes in the middle of a note! Then you can’t play the song without getting that one wrong. That’s all I have to complain about, otherwise the app is fun and a good teacher.

  • App is bad at picking up sounds sometimes

    I am enjoying this app but something that really frustrates me is that it has a hard time parsing notes at times. I’ll play a chord and for some reason it won’t register all of the notes. I got softlocked for a time behind one of the parts before you play a song where it asks you to play all the notes that are going to be in it because it wouldn’t hear all of the notes I was playing. This has the consequence of affecting my scores in various songs, especially on the first note of the song where it seems like a crapshoot as to whether or not it picks up the input. Otherwise, I am enjoying this app, but the technical limitations are a big flaw.

  • Love this app but…

    No doubt about it, this is an amazing app. I have a reasonable amount of time to play and practice without Premium, but… I am 9 years old so you probably won’t do anything about this but then again this app is suppose to be 4+, Im a level 7 and I had to stop playing because my hands couldn’t reach that far. This is really just my problem and even if this doesn’t happen to other people (because they’re all older) I’d like for people who are especially my age know that they may stop around 6-8.

    And also my favorite song in dance of the sugar plum fairy, Can Can, and Got The Moves, I really suggest those songs.

  • Inconsistent grading

    Enjoy this app so much. EXCEPT for the fact that it does not read the notes correctly and consistently. I can play a chord in a song and without even moving my fingers and it will not sense it the first and fiurth time but not the second and third. (Yes, you can chalk this up to a number of things…me not actually playing the right notes like I claim, a bad sense of rhythm, bad phone - except this has been my experience on multiple devices. ) It’s really frustrating because I’ll play the same song for an hour and still not be able to hit gold stars, one that’s even below my stated level. I just have to hope it marks the notes green and figuratively cross my fingers. Bc it seems to have nothing to do with skill…

  • All about commitment

    Yousician’s approach of making you part of the band, allows you to develop muscle memory and technique without realizing it (ie. by having fun). Though the training is different from the teacher/student setting, the tools provided allow you to break through slumps if you are disciplined. I recommend you switch to standard notation as early as you can handle it. That’s when you will truly unlock the skills you’ll need to transfer what you have learned into real world application.

  • So far this is great!

    I’ve been playing the idea of learning a new instrument for a while and I have tried to learn guitar and piano at different points of my life. Traditional private lessons are so expensive, understandable so, but the yearly cost for this app is more than worth it! I don’t understand why people have such an issue with the bouncing ball, it’s clearly there to teach and demonstrate tempo but I guess people find it distracting. I did not. The guitar version of this app felt a lot like rock band or guitar hero, and I thought what an amazing way to teach an instrument. The piano version is similar but the color coded keys and step by step instructions are awesome. I 100% recommend this to anyone who is trying to pick up an instrument and learn. I do wish they offered more instruments but I have my hands full with the 2 I’m trying to learn now.
