### 3/5 — A good start

*2013-11-24*

Easy for even a novice to play some nice piano melodies. Piano sounds good for the most part, but on some notes there a slight hissing sound that you can hear with the note. Clearer notes would be better. Also, it would be great if this had audiobus support so that songs could be played and recorded into other apps.

### 3/5 — Great app but some triads have wrong spellings

*2013-10-03*

This is a really cool app for learning to identify chords by sound but some chords are incorrectly spelled which means that I can't use it when teaching. Which is a shame because it's great!
