Unstable app

Just bought 2 LUMI Keys as I thought it looked like a great concept. They arrived today, and that app has crashed about 10 times in about 3 minutes. iPhone 13 Pro Max on iOS 17.0.

Also seems like the app and hardware are not completely in-sync when the app hasn’t crashed, and unable to use wireless headphones as not compatible.

Will have to return it all if performance remains this poor.

iPhone App Crashes Frequently

Would love to play more, but the frequent crashes, reinstalls, and further crashes mean I’ll be cancelling my subscription shortly.

Unable to open the app

Review is pretty simple. The app simply does not work, I cannot get past the intro video and repeatedly crashes. I’ve restarted my phone and re-downloaded the app and it simply won’t open. Unfortunately I’ll have to give it one star as an app should function as it’s bare minimum. Currently on an iPhone 13 fully updated.

Great app, bit expensive.

Been enjoying it, but just have a few negative points to say: the UI is odd, hard to quickly go to my favorites.
Would be great to have the same songs in different types of experience like beginner and advance etc.

Please Enable it for MacOS!

Hi Lumi App team,

It’s been a blast learning the keys on LUMI Music with how interactive it is using the keyboard. I’m one of those unfortunate souls who don’t own an iPad and it would be a lifesaver if you could enable this app for Apple Silicon Macbooks so people like me don’t have to squint at their phones or deal with laggy response from screen mirroring onto the laptop screen.

Thank you for making the experience a delight!

Hi EpikMemer, thanks for your feedback! We'll pass on your feedback for the desktop version to our developers. Great to hear you're enjoying learning piano with LUMI :)

Very disappointing

The app is just really poorly made. You read music in a guitar hero style way. And because of this it’s really hard to practice difficult material. You can’t adjust the tempo, so you have to just practice at full speed all the time. The app also gives practically no feedback which makes the fact that it’s an app completely pointless.

I bought a piano book and I’ve learned more in a day using that than I have using this app for over a month.

Save yourself the money and the fuss and just learn with an electronic keyboard and a good beginner piano book.

This is fun and educational!

This is a fun and educational app. The quality of the app and lessons are too notch. Something about the lights and the lessons make me spend more time on the keys which I know will make me into a better player. Overall I am enjoying the lessons, and will continue to use them as they add more functionality.

There is always room for improvement when it comes to a app/keyboard combo like this-- but I am having fun with it and I highly recommend it.

Thank you for your feedback, echoesinvain! We're so pleased to hear you're enjoying your learning journey with LUMI.

Total disappointment

This app has so much potential, and the instructors are great, but poor app coding results in glitches and crashes (just like previous ROLI app, NOISE). I was hoping for a much better experience, yet even with the latest updates and a paid subscription, it’s a total disappointment. The hardware build quality is terrible. The only redeeming factor is that it’s an MPE keyboard and works incredibly well in the ROLI desktop apps (Studio Player, Equator 1 and 2, Strobe 2, Cypher 2) AND other iOS apps like the Moog apps, Melodics, Volt, Synth ONE, and Tardigrain. Too bad Lumi/ROLI folks refuse to invest in quality iOS apps despite all the money invested by the folks who purchase their hardware/synths. DO BETTER.

Hey there, we're really sorry to hear about these issues and thank you for your support and patience. We've recently released a remote fix that should resolve these errors and crashes. If it's still occurring please try the following: - Restart the app properly by quitting the app (instead of minimising) and opening again. - If the issue still persists, log out, and then log back in again. Please let us know if you have any problems after trying those steps.

Great app for an absolute beginner!

I have been addicted since day one. Lessons are clear, songs are fun, illuminated keyboard is very helpful. I keep practicing each lesson till I get a perfect score. It’s basically Duolingo for piano, but with an even better UI/UX. PS: The hardware didn’t turn on after it was delivered, so I had to take it to an electronics store who opened it up to fix it. Something for lumi hardware team to keep in mind.

Thanks so much for the support! And we're so sorry to hear about the issues with your hardware. We've now actually pushed out a remote firmware fix for affected units (you should have received an email about it), but it sounds like you're sorted anyway. Don't hesitate to get in touch if we can help with anything.

Error Message Every Lesson

Edit: Problem has been solved!

After every single lesson I get an error message, and none of my progress is saved. The hardware works great, but it’s useless until the app is fixed. I keep seeing the Developer’s notes that they’re aware of this, but will it be fixed soon? I can’t even use this product until it’s fixed which is really sad since it was a gift I was very excited to receive.
