I already checked all the setting and does not work. My 9 year old just started learning also on the simply app and that app recognizes the piano and mic has no problems. Super bummed out because this app looks much more fun than the simply app but unfortunately cannot use with real piano. :( ### 5/5 — Great for practicing *2022-10-03, version 3.0.2* If you have a child who wants to play piano you should get it!!! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2022-05-20, version 3.0.2* I am new to playing the piano so I thought it would be hard but this app makes it so easy!I just wish there was more free stuff ### 4/5 — It needs to be harder *2022-05-01, version 3.0.2* I think this game is fun but it has really easy songs and I don’t really like when it is easy ### 5/5 — THE BEST THING EVER *2022-04-30, version 3.0.2* Hi I just got this app and wow it’s awesome over 200 songs to play and so much fun to do I’m addictied to the app I can’t stop playing it but my personal fave song is Harry Potter theme song well I beg of you to download this app and continue playing have an awesome day!! 😁 ### 3/5 — It tells me to hit the wrong keys *2022-02-01, version 3.0.2* When I was playing Mary had a little lamb it told me to hit G sharp and A sharp and I don’t know what to do for B it was stupid I want to wait a little before playing this again to see if nothing changes but until then it useless to me ### 5/5 — ... *2021-10-10, version 3.0.2* never played this before, but I think it’s pretty cool ### 5/5 — Simply Piano *2021-10-06, version 3.0.2* For all you guys who think the app is bad, or doesn’t work, this app is over 6 years old. There is a newer game that Joytunes made, called Simply Piano. ### 4/5 — It’s okay… But… *2021-05-18, version 3.0.2* It needs better reactions to the sound of the digital piano or regular piano if someone is playing one. I’m playing a digital piano and I really want to work with this app without mashing a key repeatedly ### 5/5 — Great! *2021-05-15, version 3.0.2* I downloaded this app and now i TOTALLY recommend this app. The characters are SO CUTE!Great for kids. ## Frequently asked questions about Piano Dust Buster by JoyTunes ### What is Piano Dust Buster?
