There are several other options available that are much more useful friendly. ### 4/5 — Looks like Premium purchase is per device *2026-04-21, version 2.7.2* Love the app in general: very clean interface and various input methods so you can learn the notes in different ways. One thing that I believe another reviewer has pointed out is that the app does not check the last note input (the very note right before it turns to the next page.) ### 4/5 — Adult learner *2026-04-08, version 2.7.2* This app has been helpful, I have not learned music before so far this is teaching me to read bass and treble cliff. Thank you ### 4/5 — Impressed so far *2026-03-25, version 2.7.2* So far my experience with this app has been good and it’s complemented my use of other apps that I use for practice. Its microphone feature seems to pick up the correct notes, which is brilliant for practice on a piano/keyboard. ### 5/5 — Great app! Very Easy to Learn! *2026-03-23, version 2.7.2* My six year old has been learning the piano for a year and needed some additional help with memorizing her notes. After using Note Teacher, the note drills helped her learn the notes very quickly. I love that there’s no nonsense, no ads, and straight to the point. Definitely recommend it for beginners and intermediate users who are still having some challenges with their notes. Very grateful to have this app as a supplement to her piano journey. 😊 ### 5/5 — Perfect for all ages *2026-03-11, version 2.7.2* Anyone can learn and this is the simple way to do it ### 5/5 — Simple but effective *2026-03-09, version 2.7.2* A great app to teach you music notes. At first I found even the easiest mode really hard and kept failing, but since sticking with it i’ve been amazed at how much my sight reading has improved. This app forces you to get better and I love that ### 5/5 — Site-reading Support *2026-03-09, version 2.7.2* This app is helping me read music faster. ### 5/5 — Effective *2026-03-08, version 2.7.2* Works both with midi and microphone for quick easy and daily drills. One time purchase! ### 5/5 — Learning Notes *2026-03-04, version 2.7.2* Since my childhood, it has been my dream/goal to play the piano. Learning to read music is bringing me closer to my goal. This app is easy to follow and truly teaches me. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2026-02-18, version 2.7.2* I really like this app very much easy to use. ### 4/5 — Good *2026-02-14, version 2.7.2* It helps me learn notes so I can play my music ### 5/5 — The whole grand staff at once *2026-02-06, version 2.7.2* Better to learn this way as opposed to learning treble and bass clefs separately. ### 5/5 — Great quality app! *2026-02-06, version 2.7.2* This app is quality and helps me and my kids easily work on our sight reading when away from the piano. ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-02-05, version 2.7.2* Love that this app is straight to the point. Quick, easy way to practice note memorization. ### 5/5 — Great and NO ADS *2026-01-30, version 2.7.2* I've only been using this for two days but it's great. No ads! No popups or begging you to sign up. I'm 56 and just starting to learn the notes. This is a great help! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Can’t cancel subscription *2026-07-26, version 2.7.2* I’ve tried to find a button or contact in app or on website where I can cancel premium but links are broken and the subscription won’t show on my apple subscriptions. ### 1/5 — Horrible if you’re supposed to be teaching, you’re horrible *2026-05-27, version 2.7.2* Horrible out don’t waste your time on. It doesn’t teach you expect you already know not a teacher don’t waste your time or money. ### 1/5 — Bad notes recognition for iPhone 16 *2026-04-29, version 2.7.2* It either doesn’t catch the notes or u have to play them so loud it will then give you a bad mark on the next note … or u set the setting lower and it’s catching every ambient noise … ### 1/5 — If you have short temper, DO NOT GET THIS APP *2026-01-28, version 2.7.2* I downloaded this game to learn treble cleff, but first it made me learn treble and bass like I was playing piano. You only get like 2 seconds to guess a note, and you have LIVES. Like, please be patient with me wth?? And as someone with short temper, i did NOT like this. ### 1/5 — Jeff *2025-10-28, version 2.7.2* It’s gay ### 1/5 — Love this app but audio recognition is terrible *2025-05-02, version 2.7.2* I paid for the full version and it seems to work great for a while then slowly stops recognising the notes from my Bechstein piano. I just had it tuned as I thought it was going out of tune and even tested it on another two pianos but got the same issue. I had to uninstall the app then re install and slowly work back to the level I was at in the course part. Very frustrating, it worked great for a bit and now the same thing. I play the correct note and it misses so many of them. I’ve emailed the developer but no response ☹️ ### 1/5 — Worst thing ever *2025-01-20, version 2.7.2* If I could rate this lower I would this app is terrible horrible ### 1/5 — Booooo *2024-07-22, version 2.7.2* When I do some thing right in time it’s wrong or no pass i play trumpet and have to do the bass clef these are some ways this is bad ### 1/5 — Bad *2024-07-21, version 2.7.2* This was very hard for my kid to learn piano notes ### 1/5 — The sound *2024-04-29, version 2.7.2* I don’t like when the notes that are wrong make no sound at all. I think you guys should make a AHH sound whenever we get a note wrong not just no sound. It gives me anxiety so please stop it. Other than that everything is all good and I think this is a great app!😀 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great practice *2026-08-16, version 2.7.2* This app is a great way to practice the notes for memorization. It’s easy to use and you can try as many times as it takes to memorize. ### 5/5 — So far, so good *2026-08-11, version 2.7.2* I've been trying this app out for a couple of days so far and it's, not just fun but, helpful. I'm gonna keep kickin it and I'll come back for a better review later ### 5/5 — Great way to learn to read music. *2026-07-22, version 2.7.2* This is the best “reading Music” Tutor that I’ve seen so far. Very pleased. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-07-20, version 2.7.2* Friendly.easy to use.first teach and practice a lot ### 5/5 — Amazing!!!!! *2026-06-24, version 2.7.2* It really is helping me and I love how it challenges me it gets a little hard but with practice I think I can master it. I don’t think this app needs improvement it’s so good. Thank you whoever made this app thank you . I love it!!! ### 5/5 — Super fun no ads!! *2026-06-15, version 2.7.2* I started off on the free version and was super suprises how well it works, its simple and has a nice interface, teaches you note by note and is extremely usable on the free version alone. I love that it has a midi feature on the paid version (which is super affordable) meaning you can plug in your keyboard and learn to site read notes directly and also a note detector so you can play even without midi. It’s fun and engaging and nice to see myself getting better. I think this app is a godsent for any musician out there or anyone who wants to learn any instrument this is a amazing place to start. 100% recommend ### 5/5 — Très pratique pour apprendre à lire les notes *2026-05-25, version 2.7.2* Après plusieurs années sans avoir joué de piano, j’ai perdu l’habitude à lire la clef de FA et les notes haute et basse. Ce logiciel m’aide beaucoup à développer la lecture rapide des partitions. En plus de la reconnaissance des notes joué au piano c’est vraiment précis et utile. ### 5/5 — I like it *2026-05-23, version 2.7.2* Works very good for me ### 5/5 — It helped me learn cello *2026-05-10, version 2.7.2* The app work wonder from not learning to read music to being a magician ### 5/5 — Loving it *2026-03-24, version 2.7.2* So far so good. Takes it one step at a time. Just what I need --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
