### 5/5 — It’s cool and very cool

*2022-12-27, version 1.4.4*

I loved it at first sight and it seems so cool teaching me all the piano notes also I love SimplyPiano but I like this better

### 4/5 — Great app! But some issues.

*2022-11-12, version 1.4.4*

I love Notecoach. But sometimes it does not hear the note I play. This could also be a issue on my end, seeing that my iPad is a little older. But overall, great app. I love the fact there is no pay wall unlike like all the other apps I’ve tried. 9/10! 

Edit: It could also be that my iPad microphone is not as good as when I first got it. Love the app though!

### 1/5 — Creator (s) please read this!

*2022-08-06, version 1.4.4*

It lets you play for like 5 minutes then you have to wait a whole 28 HOURS ITS CRAZY!!!! It’s good but that’s the only problem, the app sometimes will not work when I press the keys and it tells me to press the certain key even though I’m pressing it. So those are the two problems that I want fixed then I will give it five stars if the creator (s) fix this.

### 5/5 — Omg the best

*2022-03-27, version 1.4.4*

I love this app I can teach my kids and not pay for lessons and it is also awesome cause I am a single mom and so it is so easier to do at home than drive all my kids around everywhere!!!

### 1/5 — It just crashes

*2022-03-22, version 1.4.4*

I downloaded this app to learn piano and when I press continue to get the the next note it just crashes. I would have to put in the same information to get to the first note and it never works after the first note. 

Don’t recommend this app if you’re learning.

### 5/5 — Pleasant

*2022-02-14, version 1.4.4*

### 5/5 — Best piano app in the App Store!

*2021-07-25, version 1.4.4*

Completely free! Unlike any other app but I would like a bit more songs...

### 3/5 — It's ok

*2021-07-24, version 1.4.4*

I was going to get a keyboard so I wanted to get ready but this was pretty bad when I would go to push the notes it works move the keyboard and I would get it wrong so I work probably not recommend

### 4/5 — Notecoach is awesome...

*2021-06-30, version 1.4.4*

I think that this app is awesome! Learned how to play a song in a matter of hours! The one thing is I wish there were more pieces to choose from.
