### 1/5 — Please don't waste your money

*2016-07-19, version 1.2*

I can't believe they charge for this. 

All it is is a picture of a piano playing the notes. You don't get to play the piano yourself; it's just a scrolling image of notes with a keyboard showing you which keys are being played. You only get to choose between 3 songs and it's just a video on a constant loop.

It doesn't teach you. It doesn't show you which notes are what or anything about actually playing the piano.

### 1/5 — Waste of darn time

*2010-12-21, version 1.2*

Stupid goes by Soooooooooo fast and there is only three songs,abcs,Mary had a little lamb,&this song that I don't think is a song I only recommend this app to idiots:(

### 1/5 — Worst piano lesson ever!

*2010-04-23, version 0*

This app is a joke! You can't even play along unless you have a separate piano to mimic what you see on the screen? Why not just have a piano you can play on the app?

A complete waste of .99 cents
