Great App!
I'm a music teacher. This app is a great approach to the sometimes hum-drum process of learning to note-read. The new update includes a "listen" mode for answering & makes learning note names and keyboard navigation fun! It's got a few bugs, but that's to be expected. I hope they update their other offering "Rhythm Swing," too!Show lessFlaxenGirl
New version very buggy
although I love this game, the updated version is very buggy when using the audio. Often it marks right or wrong before a student has even played a note. Will be wonderful when this is fixed but until then can't really be used.....R2sk
Love it!
I use this a LOT with my piano students. I am delighted with the new option of playing the notes on the piano instead of tapping them on the screen. This is my favorite feature! Thanks for adding that.
I have noticed sometimes it doesn't give an "x" if the wrong note is played. My student hit a Bb a couple of times instead of a B, and it allowed her to try again and get it right. I would prefer an "x" first time, but apart from that it's a wonderful upgrade. Keep up the good work!Show lessJets21144

Retired an decided to learn to play the saxophone. The teacher introduced me to this app and it has really helped me to learn my notes. Never too old to learn.The-storyteller

This is a such a great game and I have learnt so much!!!The harshest reviewer ever!!
Great for beginner music readers!
I use this regularly with my beginner recorder players to help them speed up their note recognition. It is most useful because you can CHOOSE the notes you want to test them on, so it is easy to differentiate between groups.Vocalkate
Some big developmental flaws
This app was recommended by my 8yo's piano teacher. I could be great, but he was quickly frustrated with it. The cheering when he gets a correct answer is good, but does there really have to be a loud "awwww!" or, even worse, "booooo!" for a wrong answer?
Also, the letter choices are in a font that can be confusing for young children: namely the D can be easily confused with a lowercase A, flipped right to left (but that is lost on many children at this age). Simple block letters would be a more appropriate choice.
Once we straightened out which letter was which and turned the sound off, it went better, but that was rather too late.Show lessmorebrew2
Excellent
Great way to learn the notes.PavanC
Answer keyboard should customizable
It is frustrating for a student to name a note and have to pick a note on the keyboard that is on the wrong registration of the keyboard. The eye is not learning to think horizontally. This is true for all answer choices. Otherwise it is an ok app and children enjoy it. I have answer direct on the piano and I supply the answer to compensate for this error.Show lessellenjoh
Good for drills
I bought this app to use with my piano students. Overall they like the app. It has cute graphics that appeal to children. My only complaint is that I would like for there to be a two octave span on my iPad. My kids found it confusing when F5 in the treble clef had to be played at F4 in the app when doing the treble line drill for instance. I could see them wanting to press a key an octave above the keyboard display (where the note actually resides). I don't use the keyboard since it is causing them confusion.Show lessMactqh5
