I really like the methods and paths, but using a real piano to practice, the app really struggles to recognize notes in a full chord. It’s terrible with the “flash cards” and there doesn’t appear to be any PRACTICAL workaround which prevents one from advancing to the next lesson. It’s very frustrating. Probably not worth the subscription unless you have a midi compatible device :-( ### 3/5 — Good content, bad app *2026-06-25* I would suggest the company hires an actual dev and an actual ui/ux expert because the app is really bad **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We are in the process of redesigning the app and hope the updates will be more what you expect. I apologize for the frustration! ### 4/5 — Time out error *2026-05-21* Hello Piano Marvel team, I’m a subscribed user and I genuinely enjoy using Piano Marvel .it’s been a great part of my practice routine. But lately the app has become almost unusable for me due to constant timeouts and extremely slow loading. Screens load endlessly, and sessions often end in a connection error before I can even begin. To rule out a problem on my side: I’m based in South Korea and use a 5G connection. I’ve also tested on a separate personal 5G hotspot, and both are fast and reliable with every other app and website I use. Piano Marvel is the only app affected, which points to a server-side or regional issue. Could you please look into whether there are server or connectivity problems affecting users in Korea or the wider Asia region? I’m happy to share my account details, device info, or screenshots to help you investigate. I’d really appreciate a fix , I want to keep using the app, and right now my subscription isn’t usable. Thank you for your help. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. Can you please reach out to us at support@pianomarvel.com so we can troubleshoot with you? I look forward to hearing from you. ### 4/5 — Good but buggy on iPad Air *2026-05-13* Loop times out playing in practice mode and doesn’t correctly support portrait mode. Only landscape. iPad Air 13 m4 **Developer response:** Thank you for reaching out to us! Can you please send a message to support@pianomarvel.com so we can try troubleshooting the issues? I look forward to hearing from you. ### 5/5 — Story *2026-04-03, version 2.7.3* Story telling chance it’s really funny and I can laugh ### 5/5 — Best learning tool for piano *2026-03-25* This app has been the most important tool for seeing meaningful progress in my self learning **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, we appreciate you taking the time to review us! ### 2/5 — Forced to make an account before prices are shown *2026-03-14* There is no option to test without making an account, or see prices without making an account and giving them your info. I just want to buy an app, not subscribe, but I can’t tell if that’s possible or see how the app works. A sample song for free would be good. I don’t want a subscription. **Developer response:** Thank you for reaching out to us. Making an account is necessary, but you can use the free account without providing any payment information at all. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us at support@pianomarvel.com. ### 5/5 — Great *2026-03-04, version 2.7.1* Good tool ### 5/5 — App is very good and perfect but it has some little lags to but I like this I think this is best app *2026-02-27, version 2.7.1* App is perfect at all ### 5/5 — 🎹 *2026-02-21* The app is excellent! I used other similar apps for a long time, but this one is exactly what I needed. After a month of use, the progress is obvious. **Developer response:** Thank you for reaching out to us. We appreciate your feedback! If you ever have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us at support@pianomarvel.com. ### 2/5 — Don’t recommend *2026-02-18, version 2.7.1* It definitely does teach you plenty of lessons but I can’t find the games anywhere ### 5/5 — So Wish This App Was Around When I was Younger *2026-02-18* In the words of Forest Gump - “…that’s all I have to say about that.” ### 5/5 — Marvellous! *2026-02-17* What a Fantastic way to learn the Piano! An incredible method. I can’t recommend it enough. You would be crazy not to give it a go! And when you do Enjoy!👏👏👏👏🌞🏆 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bad, I would use simply piano it’s much better. Never seen a piano app worse. *2026-08-12, version 2.8.3* This made me cry, trash app, not good. And I thought this would make me better at the piano it made worse. I would give 0 stars if I could. ### 1/5 — App won’t login with google *2026-08-10, version 2.8.3* I paid for 1 year membership and I haven’t been able to login using google for months. My app is updated. Please fix app so that I can use the membership I paid for! ### 1/5 — The latency with midi by Bluetooth *2026-05-10* The experience was so terrible. I am using this app to practice sight reading. But there is always a latency that I can’t pass a single level. The rule you can’t move on unless you score 80 is extremely frustrating. **Developer response:** Thank you for reaching out to us. If you click on your name, Preferences, then there is a Latency Offset that you can adjust to bring the audio and MIDI into line. If you have any questions, please let me know. ### 1/5 — Broken app *2026-05-05, version 2.7.7* Nonstop crashing and freezing ### 1/5 — Can’t recognise the right tone *2026-04-23, version 2.7.4* Can not play on the keyboard ### 1/5 — Too fast paced *2026-03-01, version 2.7.1* My college uses this to teach our music majors piano. I am literally the best at it in my class. Yet it is still WAY too fast paced to be of any help. The sight-reading goes from I can do this in my sleep straight to a piano major would struggle with this. It would help a lot if you could get sight-reading pieces from the same difficulty repeatedly instead of the increasing difficulty. Also the practice music is extremely unfriendly to read. It would be so much better if you had the option to read it sheet style instead of it going across the screen. These changes would not be hard to implement and would make the app go from completely unusable to just overpriced. ### 1/5 — A month ago it was great *2026-02-23, version 2.7.1* It’s got really buggy over the past month not picking up midi keyboard when I start a song and it keep’s freezing ### 1/5 — Rhythm is off *2026-01-03, version 2.7.0* When I do the sight reading test using on screen keyboard I kept failing because I’m often too early hitting the notes. If I delay my rhythm by just a 16th beat I can get a 100%. But after doing this for a few practice it got annoying. They need to fix this. Also they shouldn’t allow the onscreen keyboard to scroll horizontally. At times it would move and I’m scrambling to recalibrate my fingers. ### 1/5 — worst experience *2026-01-02* U r forced to watch add after each move even in the prémuni trial mode. …sa bad. **Developer response:** Thank you for reaching out to us. I apologize for the frustration, we were setting up the ads and they accidentally got set to a really close interval. This has been corrected now. I am so sorry! ### 1/5 — Unable to Buy *2025-12-22, version 2.6.9* Have used this app before and liked it but I get an error message when I attempt to buy it for my iPad. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fantastic for this beginner *2026-08-07* Nothing worked to help me break through that initially difficult barrier to sight reading along with a metronome until I tried this app. **Developer response:** Fantastic! We are glad to hear that we have helped! ### 5/5 — Good job *2026-08-06, version 2.8.3* Wow this is so cool ### 5/5 — So far no ads *2026-07-31, version 2.8.2* I had this game for about 10 minutes and still not one ad ❤️ I love games without any ads 🤑 ### 5/5 — This app is so cool *2026-07-16, version 2.8.2* The only reason I think it’s cool is because it helps me with my piano practice ### 5/5 — Buy it!!! *2026-07-12, version 2.8.2* Just started learning piano on it and it’s amazing. Get it. You won’t regret it. ### 5/5 — The only *2026-07-09* Just awesome **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, we really appreciate it! ### 5/5 — The best way to learn piano - especially if you have a teacher who uses Piano Marvel *2026-06-24, version 2.8.1* I've been using Piano Marvel since it came out, and it's improved by leaps and bounds since then. Now I teach using the app and I can't imagine trying to teach "the old fashioned way" without my students having immediate feedback and personalized reports. Genuinely a game-changer. ### 5/5 — So much better than SimplyPiano! *2026-06-08, version 2.7.9* Simply the best piano app out there! ### 5/5 — Excellent App for all levels of Piano Players *2026-06-08* I absolutely love this app. This makes playing piano just so much fun. Even sight reading is enjoyable and gives you instant feedback. Thousands of scores of music broken down into lessons, practice then play. It keeps your playing accurate and honest. For the peace of about two months of lessons, it gives you a years worth of a world of music at all levels. I’ve been playing for many years and this has totally rekindled my love of playing. Highly recommended.! **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, we really appreciate it! ### 5/5 — Alas *2026-04-12* No way to pay for subscription from Russia :( I wish you made it free for the Russian users like some AppStore developers **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. The app does have a free version; payment is not required, though the free version does not have access to all the Premium content. I apologize for the frustration. I will bring this up with the development team. Please send an email to contactus@pianomarvel.com. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
