### 2/5 — Unreliable Bluetooth MIDi connection

*2021-01-17, version 1.6.7*

It’s a great app for learning but developer doesn’t seem to have nailed the Bluetooth connection meaning it drops connection to your keyboard. They give an FAQ section but it’s quite basic and doesn’t resolve the problem. 

Have emailed developer, hopefully we can resolve this and I will rate it much higher. Thankyou  .

### 5/5 — PianoNotes Pro

*2019-01-22, version 1.6.6*

Amazing, will recommend to people who play piano, it’s too awesome

### 5/5 — Brilliant app.

*2019-01-15, version 1.6.6*

I reviewed the treble free version and referred to this full version, which I have found fantastic. The only midi compatible sight reading tutor that works . Thanks.

### 2/5 — No se escucha

*2018-05-16, version 1.6.6*

Ya hice todo lo que dicen que se debe hacer para que tenga sonido y no se escucha nada; que mal👿

### 5/5 — Terrific app!!! I want to give it 6 Stars!!!

*2017-12-08, version 1.6.6*

I really like the way its laid out, works great. I've only used it a short while but feel it really works.
——-
Review update: This app deserves more than 5 stars. Its completely bug free in my experience. It even forgives accidental quick doube taps on the same note! 

The program is so well designed with its layout and features. The stars awards and scoring really pushes you. There is no lag or waiting for the next note, everything is instant response.

Love this app, note reading has improved because of it. I agree with your slogan, it’s “The Best Music Note Trainer on iPad”.

Thanks a million.

### 4/5 — Buona ma...

*2017-10-22, version 1.6.6*

Sarebbe utile potere utilizzare la tastiera del pianoforte e non quella virtuale dell’app. Inoltre sarebbe necessario potere scegliere su quali note note esercitarsi, oltre al range. Grazie!

### 5/5 — Great

*2016-11-01, version 1.6.5*

I have learned so much in the short time I have used it. It is a keeper as well as the ad on for so little cost.

### 5/5 — Piano teacher loves it!

*2016-08-30, version 1.6.5*

I have all the latest and greatest apps for my students. This one is really terrific. My students used it with my midi function on a clavinova and it works really well.
I especially like that a note turns red if played wrong and the student cannot go ahead unless they play it correctly.

### 5/5 — Helped me a lot

*2016-07-22, version 1.6.5*

This app has helped me so much. I use it every day as I am a beginner. I just learned how to display 4 notes at a time in the tutorial which speeded up my learning tremendously. Less frustrating and more reinforcement to learn small bites at a time.I have shown this app to my music teacher and she was amazed at what it does.

### 5/5 — Simple, yet effective

*2016-06-22, version 1.6.5*

When it comes to learning how to play notes, my first go-to option is this app. Since I don't own a piano yet, and I have classes on them, I can practice my knowledge of the notes while I'm on the run and at home. Pick this great app up

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2016-06-09, version 1.6.5*

It’s so much fun and helpful as well as handy for new learners like me, i will never uninstall it, great work, interactive tutorial with suitable modes for you to train and other useful features, has a loads of free song notes. Must have for piano lessons

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2016-06-06, version 1.6.5*

So easy to use and will make you a skillful piano master . Must try it

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2016-06-05, version 1.6.5*

This is a brilliant app for learning the notes. I have it connected to my keyboard via Midi for ease of use.

### 5/5 — Superb fantastic app

*2016-05-30, version 1.6.5*

Fantastic App.. This was exactly what all i was looking for.. I have tried several apps and found this to be one of the best notes trainer in the market.... Very nice and simple design.. Very happy with your work

### 5/5 — Very good

*2016-05-29, version 1.6.5*

It's awesome, and I like how it guides you on how to use it when you've installed it for the first time, and how it shows how long, and what notes to press, nice and really easy to use . It helps me to know how to play many poplular song. Just download and enjoy!

### 1/5 — Way too confusing.

*2023-08-17, version 1.6.7*

I have been a pianist my whole life. Got this app for my son to help with note proficiency. Waste of three dollars. I have spent 15 minutes trying to figure out how it works and still cannot figure it out. There are way better free apps out there. Use those.

### 1/5 — Useless without a midi keyboard

*2019-07-24, version 1.6.6*

Waste of money if you don’t have a midi that can connect to an ipad.   Cannot hear the notes of an acoustic piano.

### 1/5 — Piano Notes Pro

*2018-09-25, version 1.6.6*

Doesn’t wok. Can not connect to iPad via midi keyboard.

### 1/5 — How to play?

*2017-11-04, version 1.6.6*

It may be a great learning tool, but I cannot figure out how to play.  There are no directions or tutorial.  Is it possible to get a refund?  I have the iPad version.  Please put a tutorial on YouTube.

### 1/5 — No sound...

*2016-10-19, version 1.6.5*

Which, for a music app, is a slight deal breaker, no? None of the trouble shooting options will move this away from a deathly silence. A silence that isn't shared by other piano apps or indeed anything that needs to produce a noise on the device.

### 1/5 — Писал разработчикам, не поправили

*2014-12-10, version 1.5.4*

При подключение полноценной миди клавиатуры 88 клавиш, ограничение ключей в 2 октавы :(

### 1/5 — it was perfect but now...

*2014-04-02, version 1.4.9*

if i use a earphone, sound is okay. but without earphone, no sound..

### 1/5 — Will develop bad habits...

*2012-10-27, version 1.4.0*

I am disappointed with this app, mainly because I bought it. If it was free I wouldn't be complaining. But unfortunately, you cannot play the next note until you hit the correct note before it. That is BAD when sight reading. You are supposed to keep going, NOT stay on the same part trying to hit the correct note. I hope they fix this.

### 1/5 — Je comprends rien !

*2012-10-15, version 1.4.0*

Comment ça marche  ? Comment apprendre ? Je suis furieux !
Aucune explication n'est donnée !!

### 1/5 — Silent note

*2011-10-11, version 1.3.3*

No sound. Tried all the work-arounds. Uninstalled. Deleted from iTunes. Downloaded, again. Reinstalled. Still no sound. Therefore app is useless. A rip off, should not be sold unless it works.

### 5/5 — Learning to read music!

*2025-01-08, version 1.6.7*

The pro version of the app is very good both as an iPad app to practise and also using the midi connection to use my keyboard to input notes. One feature lacking for me is how many notes per second you are reading. Other apps offer this and I find it is a great benchmark for beginners and provides motivation to try and get better each time.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2024-06-01, version 1.6.7*

Good app . Love it.

### 5/5 — Simple pero efectiva.

*2024-01-13, version 1.6.7*

Aunque es un app sencilla con una interfase muy simple, es efectiva para aprender a leer notas en el piano.

### 5/5 — thank you so much

*2023-03-17, version 1.6.7*

Seit über 10 Jahren auf dem iPad, und läuft immer noch - offenbar kaum beachtet, wie schade. 
Zum Notenlernen und vor allem Üben direkt am Piano eine der besten Apps, die ich kenne. 
 Please keep up the support!

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2022-08-15, version 1.6.7*

Incroyable que cette appli ne soit pas plus notée et en tête car après en avoir essayé plusieurs depuis 2017, celle-ci à ce jour (15-8-2022) est de loin l'une des meilleures du fait de pouvoir paramétrer l'entraînement de reconnaissance des notes, aussi bien sur clé de sol ou fa. Bravo et merci pour cette application.

### 5/5 — Excellent App!

*2022-08-04, version 1.6.7*

The free version is great! I was so happy with the free version I bought the app just to support them. I only tried one of their apps I can’t speak for their other apps.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2022-01-23, version 1.6.7*

I really like this app. I tried out the free version then paid for both clefs and the additional quizzes. It’s easy to configure and when used with a midi keyboard is really effective. Quite addictive too! Thanks!

### 5/5 — Love the app

*2022-01-10, version 1.6.7*

One of the best music apps

### 5/5 — So great!

*2020-03-05, version 1.6.7*

Nice little app! Really shows your progress! Love this app. Really like how the star chart can help you set goals. You can also have fun with this too!

### 5/5 — Ya

*2019-05-18, version 1.6.6*

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
