I’m playing a digital piano and I really want to work with this app without mashing a key repeatedly ### 4/5 — the problem is when you play as guest you cannot change your name or play concert please fix this *2020-10-15, version 3.0.2* good app but it have a problem ### 5/5 — Ok *2020-04-20, version 3.0.2* Good. But it’s hard to play because it kind of doesn’t listen to you and you have to play the note twice but really good I love it ### 5/5 — How do I play this game and tell me how *2020-04-06, version 3.0.2* How do you play send me your phone number ### 3/5 — Meh *2019-12-27, version 3.0.2* It’s a good app and all but it needs some improvements like to not exit me out when I’m done with the last song in the concert. Also if you don’t have the membership then the app is useless. It also does not teach you anything which is fine for me because I already know how to play the piano but if you don’t know how to play the piano then it is totally useless even with membership. The last thing that they should improve is to make all the memberships have a 2 year plan. ### 4/5 — Nice for the littles *2019-10-14, version 3.0.2* Grandsons enjoy this app, not a lot of songs but they enjoy the ones on here. ### 4/5 — Read If You’re Thinking About Getting This App *2019-06-06, version 3.0.2* So one thing is that this is a great app for teaching piano or just having fun. This app has 200+ songs to learn and play. If you get this app, when it asks you if you’re using it for teaching purposes or personal purposes, click teaching purposes. I clicked this even though I am not a piano instructor. The reason is that you can get all the piano songs for free. If you click personal, you have to buy songs and I wasn’t willing to do that. This app has different levels of songs. Here is a quick list of levels per age. Level 1 and 2 I’d recommend for 3-6 year olds Level 3 I’d recommend for 6 year olds Level 4 I’d recommend for 7-9 year olds Levels 5,6,7,8, and 9 I’d recommend for 10+ This app also has some flaws. The biggest one for me personally is that you can’t compose ( write ) your own songs. I know there are already many songs that I can play but I’d like to compose my songs because I teach my younger siblings how to play ( I am 18 years old they are 14 ). They just started playing and I’d like to compose songs from the Leila Fletcher books that they are currently doing such as “ Tiger Hunt “ and “ Slumber Boat. “ But over all I think this app is great and if you want a piano app, this is the one. ### 5/5 — 🥰🥰🥰💕💕❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ *2019-03-23, version 3.0.2* The other piano game they made was not good it was just boring but I love this one so let’s thank god for this app 😇❤️❤️ ### 5/5 — This is GREAT To learn your FAV songs and Learn *2019-02-17, version 3.0.2* I Absolutely LOVE this app I have had it since I was about 6yrs old and I am now almost 11yrs old this is great when you want to learn how to play all kinds of songs and you can choose to play on the piano or on mobile there is simple and staff and you don’t need WiFi for the app except if you are doing a show.? You should definitely get this app it really helps thank you guys. Whoever made this game.❤️ ### 4/5 — Love it *2019-01-21, version 3.0.2* It is amazing I recommended if you are a piano teacher. And you want to teach your students how to play piano. And you want them to be good when they are older it is good I love it so far you can even play without WiFi I play it with my hotspot if you don’t have a hotspot then just play with no WiFi recommend if you are bored sometimes ### 4/5 — It’s okay... *2018-12-21, version 3.0.2* The only problem’s I’m having are it can’t connect to hear my piano and the price of getting a pack is too expensive it cost a lot of money and there isn’t much of the songs in one pack but making it cost 4$ come on that ridiculous! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — DONT GET THIS APP *2021-04-14, version 3.0.2* I hate this app it is the worst it does not listen to your keyboard or piano I was trying to learn but it didn’t help me one little bit🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬so if you want to learn piano or keyboard don’t get this app it doesn’t even teach you how to read notes ### 1/5 — Avoid this annoying Crap-App *2021-01-03, version 3.0.2* Downloaded this app to check it out .. when trying to exit app, it didn’t respond to swiping and developers provided no exit-switch ... or, hid it too well to find. Not worth the annoyance- dumped it within 20 minutes. ### 1/5 — Why I don’t want to play app *2020-09-02, version 3.0.2* Because playing the piano 🎹 is more than playing playing its what your hart wants to play you can right i song I want you you to play simple piano and the songs in the app is too esay I want you To go to a new level you always have to trie a new thing and this app is too easy ### 1/5 — I hate this app! *2020-06-11, version 3.0.2* It teaches me nothing. The timing is weird and it keeps saying I am playing the wrong note at the wrong time but I am not because I have known the song I was playing for four years! It is horrible and I deleted it within ten minutes of getting it. ### 1/5 — Bought year subscription, didn’t work. *2020-03-09, version 3.0.2* I bought a year subscription. It hasn’t unlocked anything. If you click on contact them in the app it says am address is required, they have my email address because I logged in with it. Contacted through App Store and heard nothing. Still trying to get resolved. ### 1/5 — Won’t listen to piano *2019-06-27, version 3.0.2* This biggest issue I have had with this app is that it rarely listens to my piano. Most times when the app starts up, I get a message saying that a midi instrument is connected and so the app will use that instead of listening to the piano. First, I have never connected a midi instrument to this iPad so what is the app recognizing. Secondly, why can’t I choose what the app should listen for instead of the app choosing for me. I like the concept of the app but not how the mechanics work. ### 1/5 — Why do you need to sign in? *2016-04-13, version 3.0.2* You can't even try this without signing in... And once you sign in, you have to sign in all the time or connect it to your facebook. I just want to play... ### 2/5 — Microphone won’t work :( *2023-05-31* The mic will not hear the piano being played. 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. :( ### 2/5 — Not good *2018-03-20, version 3.0.2* I am a professional pianist and the beats aren’t right. It also has bad timing and the player doesn’t play on the right time because of the confusion the player might be having. ### 2/5 — App used to be so much better *2016-05-29, version 3.0.2* I used to love this app when it would teach you music, such as incorporating the notes on a traditional scale, not any of this shape nonsense. The worst part is trying to know how long a note is, which messes up with your timing. Good for fooling around with, not for actual pianos learners. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 ### 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!! 😁 ### 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. ### 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. ### 5/5 — It is the best game in the world *2021-03-11, version 3.0.2* I love it so much you learn how to play the piano with this grandma and she takes the desk bunnies away ### 5/5 — What MIDI Sound Is This? *2020-10-20, version 3.0.2* What Piano Makes That Sound When You Touch The Key ### 5/5 — Best piano game There is! *2020-08-06, version 3.0.2* This game is so good but when you make a account hit the teacher one because it gives you all the songs for free. JoyTunes is AMAZING! Definitely a 5-Star MUST HAVE if you love the piano! It definitely takes away your boredom during quarantine ### 5/5 — Fun *2020-06-22, version 3.0.2* This is honestly a really fun game and I’m so happy it exists thank you Joy tunes!There are lotta haters about this game but it’s free and it’s really fun.
