### 1/5 — App don’t work

*2025-01-13*

This was a great app. However it no longer works.

### 1/5 — Update app

*2021-09-18*

We love this app. It no longer works iOS 14. Please update.

### 1/5 — Won’t even download

*2021-05-29, version 1.3.2*

I really wanted piano app and I saw this but it no download! I don’t like it

### 1/5 — A problem

*2021-05-19*

It doesn’t work , a message say it should be update but after push ok ,

It doesn’t work and not any next step go on .

Best regards

### 5/5 — Best in App Store.

*2016-05-24, version 1.3.2*

This app is very nice and clear tool to learn and play piano.

### 4/5 — Good app

*2016-02-28*

Nice app, but no overdub when recording like beatmaker 2. I import midi created in beatmaker then upload to this app to show lighted keys.

Best lighted key app on the market...

### 3/5 — Great concept but needs improvement

*2015-01-08*

I love the idea behind the application where you can import midi files and auto play them using the virtual keyboard.

This makes a great tool for learning to play music while practicing songs that we love instead of music enforced on us.

Bit I believe the application could use a fence lift and become easier to use and import sings

### 1/5 — Almost Perfect

*2014-01-11*

'Just need to add more time signatures, transpose and a few other options. It's worth ever cent!

Update: after an iOS update, it doesn't show chords on the right hand. It is now useless.

### 1/5 — Terrific but glitchy

*2013-10-25*

This is one of the best "learn to play piano" apps available. My kids learned "Claire de Lune" and "Fur Elise" in within a few short hours.

However, something happened on our iPad, maybe connected with an iPad software upgrade. The virtual keyboard no longer displays the fingering of the right hand. So there is no longer a way to learn a song through the app.

I wrote Rambax tech support but they haven't responded. And I deleted the app and re-installed it but the problem remains.

This is such a great app that it's easily worth much more than Rambax is charging -- when it works. At this point I wouldn't recommend it to anyone until it gets fixed and made stable.

### 5/5 — Piano

*2013-08-23, version 1.3.1*

Ur piano app is very good thanks.
