J’ai persévéré malgré cela mais pour envoyer un fichier il fallait en plus utiliser un compte Google, en donnant aussi tous ses identifiants... la j’ai craqué... ### 1/5 — Attention ⚠️ *2021-01-24* Attention cette appli oblige les utilisateurs à avoir un compte Facebook ou Twitter ce qui est honteux . Sans cela impossible d’exporter les fichiers musicaux . Ce qui est dommage car lorsque l’on a pas envie d’être sur les réseaux sociaux on ne peut donc pas utiliser la fonction principale de l’appli. Je ne pensais pas qu’une entreprise aussi sérieuse que yamaha nous fasse un coup pareil . C’est dommage car j’aimerais pouvoir partager des fichiers de mon enfant à son prof de conservatoire . En temps de confinement et d’échange à distance ça aurait du sens . ### 1/5 — Useless if you don’t have Facebook or Twitter *2020-06-06* Could do with being allowed to log in with an email account! Useless to me otherwise! ### 1/5 — This app killed my piano ! *2020-04-15* Since I plugged this app into my Yamaha P115 yesterday, the piano doesn’t give any more sound from the loudspeakers and it cannot be turned off. It stays on. What happened ? Thanks for your support ### 4/5 — Notification *2020-02-17* Please add a notification reminder so I remember to keep up with my practice. Thanks! ### 4/5 — A Great Tool *2020-01-04* This is a really useful addition to my piano practice sessions. It would be nice if there were a way for it to continue to track play time and notes played while it was in the background too as I sometimes use other apps for reference. It could do with some updates to the style of the UI to make it more current. It still has the old pre-iOS 7 buttons for accepting agreements. It also has nice additions of midi instruments the more you play. I would like to see that also reflected in badges or some other way where you can be rewarded. Overall a great app. Just needs a bit more for me to make it 5 stars. ### 2/5 — Pas de connection midi filaire... *2019-10-16* C’est un comble, cette application ne fonctionne pas avec le midi filaire... Toutes les applis Yamaha semblent faites sur le modèle : filaire connaît pas ! Bref, inutile dans mon cas ! ### 1/5 — Sinnlos Software *2019-04-14* Warum gebt ihr den Anwendern so sinnlose Software an die Hand? Warum kein ordentlicher Recorder der alles aufnimmt, auch Styles, Patterns u.s.w.? Was soll das hier? ### 1/5 — Erro no upload no Youtube *2018-09-30* Resumindo: não serve pra nada! ### 2/5 — Noch nicht so gut *2018-04-13* Nimmt teilweise nur sporadisch auf. ## Frequently asked questions about Piano Diary ### Does Piano Diary have ads?
