Skipping/stuttering

I liked this app and I thought it was worth the $ for the first 3 months but now it’s skipping really bad. Tried using my MacBook instead of my iPad Pro and it was worse. I’m not sure if it’s just because I’m getting to more complicated songs or if an update changed something. I’m only halfway through level 7 so the songs aren’t that difficult. I do use a midi adapter and never had a problem with it reading the right note. It also drains my iPad battery really fast and I have the midi plugged in so I can’t charge it at the same time. As far as content goes I don’t think it is great for learning to read music and they barely go over timing/counting. The rest of the music theory/knowledge section is lacking as well. Also, I’d like to be able to customize my scales.

Good but I don’t want to pay Premium

It’s great but the free version doesn’t have as much items and the premium contains 50 percent of the app even if you gave us all the songs we would only be able to do one lesson per day so only like 10 songs per day so please please please make the free version have a couple more affects and items and I like how it gives instant feedback but after all that I would like a little reward if you got 3 stars or something and if we do give us like a little sticker and we can put in a collection and when ever w3 get like 15 stickers that are part of the same collection we unlock a new song or yeah as I find that very addicting but from now bye.

greaaaaat app

I’ve never feel motivated to write any review on any app before but this app is sooo cool and I really recommend to all people who wants to learn, but most importantly have fun with playing whatever instrument they’ve chosen.
I’ve never thought that I can actually learn to play the piano with an app and stick to it for real. But in the end i found myself having so much fun with playing piano with this app and have actually made solid progress!

It’s not that great

I think this app only deserves 2 stars because it will not listen to every thing I play so maybe you should find a different piano practicing app to use in my opinion

Good but some issues

I got this app as I have been using usician to learn ukulele, which has been very successful. So I thought I would try using this app the learn piano. I found that at the start it was too easy and very slow moving, so much free practice time was being wasted. But soon after it was expectinv me to play along to extremely fast songs that are way to hard for a beginer. Even when I slow down the tempo in practice mode, I spend so long trying to get it right, my free practise time is wasted! There is no need for the beginner songs to be so fast when all the new to do it provided chord practice. I will continue using however I have been getting slightly frustrated about this. Other then that it is good but often down stairs pick up my g note.

Extremely Limited!

I have been taking piano lessons since I was six, and now I am seventeen, and I have advanced greatly. I can now play songs without even needing help. As a seventeen year old, I wanted to find an app to improve my skills without having to pay money. When I press on the experienced button in the beginning of the app, it still takes me to easy things I already know how to do! Please make the experienced button take you to challenging lessons that can teach you different things than the NOTES of the PIANO! My second complaint is that it only lets you learn for TEN MINUTES a DAY?! Like, are you that thirsty for money? If you make it an hour I would be happy, because I usually practice piano for an hour and a half daily. But, TEN minutes?! That’s not nearly enough for a person to learn ANYTHING without buying your premium! I deleted the app recently because it just didn’t help me at ALL! If you’re a professional piano player and don’t want to spend money on a music app, don’t even download this, it won’t help you AT ALL.

Good for beginners but needs skip option

for the most part it's a really good app. I really like the fact that they included a mixer so you can turn off musicians built in piano sound when using a midi keyboard and use garage band or something else in the background. The only thing that would be nice to have is the ability to optionally skip components inside a single lesson because a lot of times I want to be able to play some song but not have to be forced to train all the small melodic motifs beforehand since they're usually quite tedious.

Song Library problems

‪I was considering a subscription so the kids could start learning guitar/ukulele BUT Yousician’s music library is sorely lacking and even biased. It’s all been “Columbused”! They have NO African American artists in the Funk category. NONE, as in zero, zilch, in FUNK?!? They include only 2 African American Artists in the Blues category. They have NO Latin music category and I could not find a single Latin song in any category, not even Latin Jazz, and there was NO Soul/R&B category either which is probably good since their music librarian apparently has an aversion to people of color. And it follows that there are no Hip-Hop or Rap categories. One has to go pretty far out of one’s way to create a library of American music that is this non-inclusive.

Please take the blinders off your ears, or hire a new music curator. How can you entirely exclude important, gigantic artists and genres of American music??
I’m sticking with Playground Sessions, which has been great for me for piano (I’ve progressed more in 6 months than I did over 3+ years of in person lessons.)

Best piano app ever!!!

I absolutely love this app♥️! I played a little bit of piano at school but never knew how to play with both hands. I constantly was searching for piano app and a lot of them would not let you advance unless you payed😣. This app lets you play 10min each day without having to pay and with just playing a few minutes each day I’ve seen results! I recommend this app to everyone who wants to learn how to play piano or just wants to keep advancing in there skills. I’m considering paying to practice for as long as I want and it will be worth every cent!

Nice tool

This is perfect for me because I’ve enjoyed playing the scales for quite a while, I took a beginners course on line and I just loved doing scales but this is the tool to get that second hand doing desyncronised playing in my opinion and it’s great to keep you on the schedule of your practice also,I knew about the three steps of practice but to put it into practice and create your own exercises etc. Was too boring for me. I hope I can evolve from this game but it’s great for amateurs 👍🏻
