What's New in Note Flash Music Sight Reading

3.5

August 10, 2022

- Fixed an orientation bug on iPad where settings screen was chopped off. I recommend using a MIDI connected piano. If you use the microphone and are having trouble detecting the notes, go to my app's settings and change the "Sensitivity". Default value is 5. I hope you are enjoying Note Flash and improving your sheet music reading! Please leave us a rating on the app store as that helps spread awareness for the app. Email me for any feedback: pran@pranapps.com ---- Previous: - The timer now only starts when you press the first correct note. This prevents your average from being skewed while you position your hand then pressing the first note. Note that this will work best when using MIDI and not the microphone as the microphone might pick up "noise" which can be the "correct" note. - App now works in upside down orientation too - this might help users who have a phone connected via MIDI as the USB port can now be at the top and practice sight reading. - Added MIDI support: Now you can practice via a MIDI connected instrument. I developed and tested using a Yamaha P115 Piano connected to iPhone/iPad with this cable (other MIDI cables should work too): https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0829NV65Q/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A1UM1J239QRPCJ&psc=1 - Increased the microphone sensitivity of the app and added a new setting to change it. - Fixed a bug where custom note collections would lose the sharp & flats after restart. - Reduced the frequency of review prompt. - Updated App Store metadata. - Switched to blue color theme. - Small UI tweaks. We listened to you and made a bunch of improvements from you feedback: 1. We removed all ads from the app for a pure distraction free experience even for free users! 2. Added a play and pause button in the app. 3. Added a pure white background and a pure black background theme. 4. The Treble and Bass sign on the staff is now accurate. 5. The Note on the staff is now accurate and touches the lines just like real sheet music on paper. 6. The charts now say "Average: X seconds" instead of the old short form "s" only. 7. A few users mentioned that the hints should use the traditional form of naming. For example previously, a E note would have a hint "E or F flat". Now there is a switch in the settings called "Traditional note hints" which if on, will only say "E" in the hint. 8. A few small UI tweaks to make the app more appealing and accurate to real sheet music.

The worst

All I can say is it doesn’t even teach you how to write it just goes to play and whenever I try to do anything else it says by pro by pro no change it completely

Best sight reading app!

Pay the $7.99. This is by far the best sight reading app I have found. I’ve tries others and this one works with my keyboard and the microphone on my iPad. With the upgrade, you can tweak the sensitivity and it’s perfect. Also, the upgrade gives sharps and flats. In just the first week of using this, I have seen my speed go up considerably. And because I can respond using the keyboard (four octaves) it’s so much better than flash cards or similar apps that don’t equate to the actual location of the keys on the keyboard.

Paid but nothing

I bought this app through the App Store but when I open it, the request is to purchase the app. It seems as though you must pay twice to unlock the features.

Just-why?

I tried downloading this app and immediately deleted it and then decided to give it another chance. Immediately deleted again. Right when I get in, it’s already ready for me to start, but, oh no! It won’t even let me play a single note! I mean, that’s the WHOLE POINT OF THE APP! And then I wanted to practice bass clef and it wants me to PAY to do other clefs! Why would I want to PAY for that?! To play one clef?? Stupid really. I downloaded this app thinking it would actually help me get better at piano! But if I can’t even play anything-what’s the point. Please, if this is just a bug or something, fix it! And I might consider redownloading it…again
