## What is Guido?

The advantages of Guido:

     - Guido will help you learn to read music notes step by step:
          - You start by learning with only two notes.
          - When you master the first two notes, the application unlocks a new one.
          - And so on until you have unlocked all the available notes.

     - The application monitors your progress:
          - Thanks to an experience system, the application will not unlock new notes until the previous ones are correctly assimilated.
               - A correctly read note increases your experience.
               - An incorrectly deciphered note reduces it.
               - When you have enough experience, a new note is unlocked.
               - If you lose some, a note will lock again so that you can strengthen your foundations.

     - Guido motivates you:
          - You have the possibility to set a daily objective.
          - Chain up the most consecutive days in a row!
          - Some successes are to be unlocked (50 notes in a row...).
          - Unlock them all!

     - Guido is easy to use and intelligent:
          - No complex settings required.
          - The application adapts the difficulty according to your level.
          - The application has been designed to allow you to practice as soon as the application is launched.
          - Guido calculates the scores for which you have difficulties and displays them more often.

     - Play the notes directly on your piano:
          - What is the point of learning to read notes if you can't find them on your piano to play them?
          - Guido listens to your piano through the microphone of your device.
          - Guido has an interface that allows you to find the notes on your piano.

     - Continue your progress:
          - Break your records (number of notes in 10 seconds, number of notes in a row).

     - Correct your weaknesses:
          - Guido's algorithm focuses on the notes for which you have the most difficulty.

     - Support in english :
          - Do you have a problem, a question, a suggestion for functionality? Guido support can be contacted from the application.


Solfeggio allows you to read the notes of piano scores. When you master note reading you can use the unlimited and free resources available on the internet (downloadable scores) or read the score collection of your favorite composers. This will allow you to no longer be dependent on youtube applications or videos to learn how to play the song you want to play.

### 2/5 — La reconnaissance sonore est nulle

*2023-04-20*

Dommage… c’est une excellent application, mais impossible de m’en servir avec mon piano alors que c’est une des fonctions de l’appli. 
La reconnaissance des notes est très mauvaise et l’appli croit, à tort, que vous faites des erreurs. 
Dommage. 
Plus de mise à jour depuis bien longtemps et le développeur ne répond pas quand on lui écrit 🤷

### 2/5 — The app don’t work right

*2022-02-16*

I’ve been using this app now for 3 weeks and already it get stuck on level 33 and will not advance or change over new challenges it’s a useless app

### 5/5 — Teaches you the notes!

*2021-10-30*

This is a pretty straight to the point app that quizzes you on your musical note recognition which is essential for playing written music at the tempo music is played at.

I’ve gotten the G clef down but not at the speed I should since I played first trumpet and then clarinet entirely on that clef. However, with now trying to learn piano, the bass clef eludes me.  You don’t have time to spell out Good Boys Do Fine Always and All Cows Eat Grass before the next beat. So I’ve got to improve this speed and this apps seems designed to improve it via rote practice.

So at this moment, this app is near essential for me developing musically. Hopefully it gets implanted in my brain like some hand maneuvers are beginning to.

### 5/5 — Très pédagogique !

*2020-02-28*

Un must dans sa conception. 
Guido permet d’apprendre et de conforter notre lecture de note lorsqu’on débute au piano. 
J’ai rencontré quelques problèmes avec le partage familial mais après avoir contacté le développeur, ce dernier a pris sur son temps pour solutionner cela. Son travail et son écoute amènent à une application de qualité. Bravo 👍

**Developer response:** Bonjour,
Pourriez-vous me faire suivre de nouveau votre e-mail, celui-ci a du passer à la trappe. Merci. Ce problème est surprenant, en effet, le partage familiale est une option à activer de mon côté, Apple gère le reste. C'est donc à priori, plutôt un bug côté Apple ou téléphone.

### 3/5 — Guido

*2019-06-05*

Pity the abandonment of this cherished app. 🤬

### 4/5 — Super app !

*2018-12-21*

Je m’en sers tous les jours pour apprendre le solfège. Et le système de progression est très bien fait ! 

Dommage qu’il n’y ait pas de petit métronome inclus pour nous forcer a suivre un rythme précis...

### 1/5 — Severe bugs.

*2018-11-13*

This app looks good, but the in-app text that should welcome you or explain things just displays alphanumeric strings (e.g., a02sf-67fgu-73hg.TEXT) instead so it isn’t clear what you are supposed to do. Once fixed, I will update this review.

**Developer response:** Hello,
Thank you for letting me know. The problem has been fixed. You can view the tutorial again by clicking on tutorial in settings. I hope the app will help you to learn to read music . It will be really helpful if you could update your review. If you have any other feedback, you can send me an e-mail at ntyr.studio@gmail.com.

Thank you & have a nice day, 

Yannis

### 5/5 — Au top

*2018-10-09*

Très bonne application pour l’entraînement au déchiffrage. De plus le développeur a été réactif et disponible lorsque je l’ai contacté. Je recommande vivement.
