The full length of the 88-key keyboard is accessible during play with touch-to-slide and pinch-to-stretch functionality. The huge feature set offers something for everyone – amateurs, professionals, songwriters, teachers and students.

With Real Piano Remote, you can see the notation of what you are playing in real time, quickly and easily adjust a variety of settings from a separate screen, and even use your secondary device as a sustain pedal (touch with your hand or foot). Real Piano and Real Piano Remote must be running on separate iOS devices connected to the same Wi-Fi network or via Bluetooth.
The sounds are perfectly adequate for my use- noting musical ideas quickly as they appear in my head. I see lots of complaints in the reviews regarding functionality, but I have no problems, except that once in a while, the sound lags behind pressing the keys- but I expect that is a product of my device, not the app.
My only suggestion for improvement would be to have the ability to have playback speed adjustable, to facilitate transcribing, or to speed up slowly-played passages. Even better, to record and show the individual keystrokes.
