Feature Request: Disable Labeled Notes

Loving the app so far! I have a feature request to disable the labeled notes on the keyboard! I would like to be able to memorize the positions of the keys without reading the note on each one. Thanks!

Thanks for the great feedback! Good news, you can already do this in Flash Note mode 😊 Open Input Options and select "Piano Keyboard - Without note names". In the introductory lessons and modes, the labels are part of the visual learning method, but Flash Note lets you remove them once you're ready to rely on the keyboard positions alone. Hope this is exactly what you were looking for!

Midi control

Could have been better if it has a midi compatibility.

Thanks for your feedback! MIDI compatibility is already on our roadmap and is planned for one of our upcoming updates. In the meantime, you can use Sound Recognition → Pitch to answer by playing directly on your instrument. We hope MIDI support will make the experience even better soon!

Amazing 🤩

So go helping mye get to the top

Love it 🤩🤩🤩😃

Super entraînement de lecture de notes

Dans la version gratuite vous pouvez vous entraîner sur la lecture de notes en clé de sol et de fa ( je sais pas pourquoi ma touche mi n’est jamais proposée ) avec une indication de bonne ou mauvaise réponse en instantané. Qui sait je prendrais peut être un abo ensuite

Merci pour votre commentaire ! En effet le mode auquel vous faites référence se focalise sur l'apprentissage des "notes repères", soit les notes Sol et Do pour la clé de Sol. Il introduit également par la suite les notes voisines (juste au-dessus et en dessous) : donc les notes Si & Ré (autour du Do) et Fa & La (autour du Sol), d'où l'absence momentanée du Mi. Mais bien sûr dans les autres modes d'entraînement et dans les chapitres et leçons suivantes, toutes les notes (y compris le Mi, y compris les altérations dièses & bémols) sont bien abordées. Elles sont simplement introduites progressivement et avec une logique d'ancrage visuel pour une meilleure assimilation. Nous espérons que vous souhaiterez continuer à découvrir l'app ! ;)

Thanks for the 5 stars! :) Notaforte includes 10 Learning Path chapters and a Practice mode for free. The rest is supported through Premium purchases rather than advertising, so we can keep the app completely ad-free. Thanks for your support!

So helpful!

The app has clear instructions, is easy to use, and is mostly free. It’s helped me learn so much!

Exactly What I Wanted

This is exactly what I wanted when I was looking for an app to help read music. The progression is perfect for a beginner and helps build upon itself. Pretty deep in the lessons and havent seen a single ad. Huge help for me.

Great Design - Execution Needs Further Development.

I started my sight reading journey with Notaforte and was a great starter, but I quickly bumped up against the limitations of the program. Once I learned one octave I stopped progressing because the piano keyboard they provide is only 12 keys and it stunted my learning by playing, for example, all the “C” in several octaves on one key, not letting me develop keyboard awareness for WHICH “C” I was playing. Also, there is no option to plug in a Midi USB keyboard to get around this limitation. There is a pitch recognition feature, but it’s not program wide, so even sitting at a piano for all lessons won’t help. Since I use this on my iPad Pro with the Magic Keyboard, the screen won’t rotate, so it use Notaforte, I have to hold my iPad on its side but must rotate the whole thing to switch between using the app and typing. It’s cumbersome. I’ve since switched to “Notevision” on my iPad Pro which has all of those features (most importantly a wider piano keyboard) and my learning where each note lives on the piano resumed. I would return to Notaforte once they include these features, as I love the interface and prefer it to the rest of the sight reading apps.

Excellente application pour apprendre et progresser

J’adore cette application car elle permet vraiment de progresser et de developper des automatismes dans la lecture de notes. La partie flash cards est ma préférée ! Merci aux développeurs !

Merci à vous Valérie pour votre commentaire ! Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez pu progresser grâce à Notaforte. Bonne continuation :)

Très bien pour apprendre

J’ai beaucoup aimé, les automatismes sont venus rapidement, j’aime beaucoup la variété des entraînements proposée. Ce qui serait super c’est d’avoir une connexion midi pour répondre sur notre piano. La plupart des apps le font déjà, j’espère que vous allez l’ajouter. Je ne peux pas utiliser le micro de mon tel car je vis en appartement, je m’entraîne au casque. Merci et bravo

Merci beaucoup pour votre commentaire, et votre suggestion ! Une connexion midi serait en effet intéressante pour les joueurs de piano et de clavier. Nous allons étudier et tester de plus près cette fonctionnalité pour une de nos mises à jour à venir.

Very good at a very small subset of sight reading music

This is an expensive app and it teaches the basic recognition of notes very well. What it doesn’t have is tempo, timing, key, sharp & flat recognition . Just didn’t expect it to be so limited for the money paid so really disappointed.

Thank you for your feedback, and for your kind words about the note recognition part. Just to clarify one point: Notaforte does include sharp and flat recognition. You can find dedicated chapters in the Learning Path (see for instance 2.21 & 2.22 for the Treble Clef), and also practice them in the Flash Note mode via "Note Selection → Type → All notes with ♯ and ♭”. You’re absolutely right that the app focuses on a specific part of music reading. This is intentional: for many beginners (and even experienced players who learned by ear), recognizing notes quickly on the staff is the main challenge, so we chose to go deep on that skill rather than covering everything at once. That said, we understand your expectations around rhythm and timing, and this is something we’re actively exploring for future updates later this year. Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts, it really helps us improve the app.

Amazing

We absolutely love this app. Both my husband and I were impressed at the teaching method. Our 6 year old is showing big improvements in learning how to read sheet music as she learns guitar along side.

Thank you so much! We love hearing that Notaforte is appreciated by the whole family, that’s really wonderful to hear. It’s especially great to know your daughter is already making such good progress. Wishing you all lots of fun and success on your musical journey!

Appli géniale

Super appli pour le solfège, une des meilleures que j’ai pu tester ! Seuls points manquants seraient de pouvoir avoir des cours et exos sur les accord majeurs et mineurs en particulier, et idéalement un système de scores pour voir sa progression serait intéressant !

Un grand merci pour votre commentaire, nous sommes ravis que l'app vous plaise ! Le suivi de scores et de progression est effectivement prévu et arrive très prochainement ;) Concernant les accords, c’est une piste intéressante, nous la gardons en tête pour de futures évolutions possibles. Très bonne continuation !

Can’t Tell

The “free” version is too locked to be able to evaluate it. I suggest you offer a free trial period so that users can take it for a proper test drive.

Thank you for your feedback. Instead of a traditional free trial that requires starting a subscription first, Notaforte lets you try part of the app immediately: no account, no subscription, no payment details required. You can access one training mode and the first 10 chapters right away to experience the method. You can also browse the entire learning path to see all chapters before deciding to upgrade. We chose this approach so users can explore the app freely without needing to start and remember to cancel a trial. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts.
