Nice App but Awful at picking up notes with phone mic

You’ve really got to fix the mic-issues. I bought pro just for that and it works terribly. Get that working better and I’ll update to 5 stars

Dark Mode Please!

I love this app. It’s an incredible tool for sight reading and the developer just keeps adding great features. However, I think it would benefit highly from a dark mode. Sometimes I like to use the app at night and the all white background is very harsh on my eyes. I understand it’s for realism, but it still would be cool to have.

Great App!

I love this app! It is user friendly, well structured, and teaches you all the basics of sight reading. It then proceeds with easy to follow lessons. It also teaches you about rhythm. And once you get to know your way around the keyboard it has great songs you can play.

I paid for premium but the piano keyboard doesn’t go that high

I paid for premium to use the higher keys and practice but the practice keyboard stops right before the next c above middle c. so i cant practice.
