### 5/5 — Works great. Excellent customer service!

*2025-12-16, version 3.33*

I struggled to get other purchased songs to play on our piano but this streaming service worked instantly after purchase!  Customer service has also been very responsive!!

### 5/5 — Game changer for my Piano

*2025-12-15*

Cannot say enough good things about the quality of the app, the music that comes out of my piano or the extraordinary customer service. I had some challenges getting the accompanying vocals, orchestrations, etc out of my speaker. I texted the clearly identified customer support number, got a call back in minutes and had the problem resolved moments later. Well worth the cost of the subscription. Heartily recommend without reservation!  Michael S.

### 5/5 — Customer support

*2025-12-06, version 3.33*

They go above and beyond to make sure their systems work to your satisfaction. I would 100% recommend this app

### 5/5 — Richie Hayes is supportive!!!

*2025-10-09, version 3.33*

I have had the app for 2 years now and the music selection is very varied and wonderful. I recently added the audio version of the app to my piano and with Mr. Hayes suggestion, bought the device on Amazon that allows me to hear the audio. I had some trouble at the beginning, but Richie is very helpful if you text him with any concerns.  He quickly assisted me and help solve the problem and now my piano sings with Audio!!! Thank you, Richie!

### 5/5 — Excellent app and great customer support!

*2025-09-19*

I have a Mark 2 Yamaha Disclavier piano. The PianoStream App has given my player piano a new life with a huge volume of songs available. Used the Widi Master to easily hook up the midiport which now allows me to bypass those old 3.5 disks that I had to use when we originally purchased the piano.  Look forward to an updated solution that will allow the piano to play background music through the piano’s integrated speaker while it is playing piano.  The customer service was very prompt and all questions were immediately answered.

### 5/5 — Helped me

*2025-06-05, version 3.33*

Richie was amazing messaged him and 10 minutes later solved. Fantastic service. Thank you

### 5/5 — Check it out!

*2025-05-07, version 3.33*

Expand your library and stream the app to your player piano.  Staff is very helpful for any troubleshooting any specific tech issues to get you up and running.

### 5/5 — Great Service

*2025-04-28*

Great APP that is simple to use. Plenty of songs to choose.
Support from Richie has also been excellent.

### 5/5 — WOW

*2025-04-26, version 3.33*

My wife and I LOVE Piano Stream!
Bought a Yamaha Console Disklavier piano in the early 90’s. The 3 1/2 inch floppy drive stopped working years ago and piano has sat unplayed. 
Alex Peppe in Maine recently helped resolve issues and directed me to a $55 blue tooth WIDI MASTER “plug in” that allows me to play the piano with my phone. 
Tremendous choice of music available.

### 5/5 — Support

*2025-04-20, version 3.33*

The support is incredible. I had some minor technical difficulties and Richie hung with me until we got it straightened out. I’ve never had Support like this on anything I’ve bought before. Definitely a five star.

### 5/5 — Excellent support!

*2025-04-06, version 3.32*

PIANOSTREAM works with many devices, but fear not because the developer is responsive and will help if you have a problem.  I use it with my Yamaha Disklavier at home but was missing music at my lake home. With a few messages, the lake home is now filled with my favorite piano music by streaming PIANOSTREAM to my Sonos speakers. I am a happy man!

### 5/5 — Simply the best!

*2025-04-05*

We purchased  a vintage grand  about six months ago that had an updated player piano system. My piano tuner told me about the streaming service that would totally increase our listening pleasure. The system on our piano is a QRS 3 system that has been integrated so very nicely.  They compliment each other so very well, I have been wanting a player system for the past 20 plus years and so happy to finally have one with such great services from PianoStream and the Player system. I hope who ever purchases this subscription enjoys all that the App/system has to offer.

### 5/5 — La meilleure appli pour piano

*2025-01-23*

Après avoir créé mon propre système de piano automatique à base d arduino il me fallait une application pour jouer pleins de musiques midi !! C est la meilleure application de streaming midi !! De nombreuses musiques de grande qualité et capable de jouer en midi ou sur pianodisq et disklavier !! Merveilleux

### 5/5 — Works seamlessly

*2024-12-07, version 3.32*

This app runs a disklavier by Yamaha and combined with midimittre works perfectly. We have been enjoying it for 6months and it’s always worked. The song selection is very large and up to date.

### 5/5 — Get This App!!!

*2024-11-12, version 3.31*

Title says it all!  A must-have for every digital piano!  Opens up a whole new world of listening enjoyment!  Fairly easy to set up.  Multiple videos release by Richie Hayes makes connections and use easy to follow.  New updates help in improving.  Extensive music library!  Hope to continue to expand.  This is the app I’ve been waiting for!

### 5/5 — Great support

*2024-10-08, version 3.31*

YouTube has a phone number for text support
I couldn’t figure out some thing, sent a text and got my answer like within 5 minutes!
I was amazed!  Great to have so many songs on one app!  
Iam enjoying PIANOSTREAM app everyday!

### 5/5 — Technical Support

*2024-09-26*

I was very excited yesterday when I received the hardware needed to get set up on Piano Stream. By the end of the evening I was so frustrated and ready to give it up I went back to the Piano Stream website and decided to give the email listed a shot. Never did I expect the prompt service I got from Richie Hayes. He was able to help we through the process, step by step. We are now up and running with everything working perfectly. The Piano Steam App is outstanding! Quality and selections. So if you were on the fence as to purchase this app let me assure you that you will NOT be disappointed. A huge thank you to Richie for you expertise, ability to communicate and the patience you had in resolving my issues. Angela

### 5/5 — Technical issue was resolved fast and efficiently

*2024-08-07*

I was having trouble synching my iPhone and the app to my piano.  Called the number and got immediate assistance which fixed the problem. (Hint:  when in doubt unplug the piano for one minute!😂)
Super thrilled with this app and that they are always upgrading and adding new music.  
Great job guys!!!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2023-05-06, version 3.23*

You can’t save songs to a favorite list just channels. I’m sure because they would get sue for copyright infringement.

### 1/5 — False advertising of charges.

*2021-12-19, version 3.15*

Signed up for the $3.99 a month plan got charged $12ish. Not cool. Watch your bill when/after you sign up. Total bait and switch.

### 1/5 — It doesn’t fit iPhone X

*2018-11-06*

Can’t click on either top left or top right buttons as they are overwritten by the battery and time info on iPhoneX screen.

**Developer response:** Dear RHS1313 we have fixed the problem with the iPhoneX. Please check out PianoStream again! Thanks :)

### 2/5 — Misleading Ad

*2026-01-01*

I wanted to trial this app and it said 3day free trial. Instead, it charged me $299 straight away and will not renew until next year.

**Developer response:** Hi — we’re very sorry for the confusion and appreciate you letting us know.

We take billing issues seriously and are reviewing this to ensure everything works as intended. Please email us at hayesiq@gmail.com so we can look into your account and make things right right away.

Thank you for your feedback — it helps us improve.

### 2/5 — Good selection of music but…

*2024-01-25*

There was no obvious way to request more, and most songs had very messy metadata, making it hard to find things. 

It also managed to almost deplete my battery by 10am. I believe the Bluetooth is constantly searching for my piano. Needs a bit more polish to justify the cost, in my opinion.

### 2/5 — Who is responsible for the user interface?

*2023-08-10*

The idea and the expertise of the person behind this app really has potential, but seriously: the user interface is horrible, really horrible. Basic functionality like searching is a burden each time you use it, I mean hey - your customers pay for your service and we appreciate your technical expertise around Disklaviers. But please, get some help from people who know how to design an iOS App. This one looks and feels and works (not) like it was coded by a committee.

### 3/5 — Expensive

*2026-03-20*

It’s a brilliant app but it’s just too expensive.

### 4/5 — Alsmost perfect

*2020-09-26*

This app did exactly what I wanted in a player piano controller. It supports direct midi connections, but the interface really doesn’t mention anything other than network or bluetooth so you have to fiddle with the settings to get the direct USB midi to work. Also it does not support landscape mode. These are my two biggest gripes and it would have gotten 5 stars if it weren’t for this. Landscape mode is a must if you are using an iPad with a wired connections, as you won’t be able to stand the iPad on the music stand in portrait mode with a usb adapter hanging off the bottom. Please add this, as I also believe that Apple is making landscape iPad compatibility a requirement for future apps anyways.

### 5/5 — Help installing on my piano

*2026-05-09, version 1.0.7*

Richie reached back it to me almost immediately and on a Saturday and Sunday was there to assist me in getting this system up and running as I am definitely not the most tech savvy person! I highly recommend!!!

### 5/5 — Truly Amazing

*2026-05-01, version 1.0.7*

The App is amazing. I don’t play piano but I appreciate and enjoy listening. To have this library of music available in your home is incredible. Looking forward to endless listening and great cocktail parties. The staff is readily available to navigate connectivity if you have older units.

### 5/5 — Pianostream on my Yamaha Disklavier

*2026-04-21, version 1.0.7*

Pianostream brings great quality musical choices 
along with very responsive product support. I have been using this app since 2023 and I love that Richie is constantly adding music and upgrading the technology. Listening to Pianostream is the best part of my day.

### 5/5 — Great experience

*2026-04-14, version 1.0.7*

Tremendous app and amazing support! Richie did such an excellent job helping get the app back up and running when I was having difficulty. He was so patient and knowledgeable while dealing with an elderly lady. His response was prompt and professional. Truly a shining example of what tech support should be! Can’t thank him enough. He certainly is an asset to the team and definitely deserves a raise!

### 5/5 — Fabulous app and support!

*2026-03-03, version 3.33*

This app allows you to listen to thousands of songs with the touch of a button. My kids and I have thoroughly enjoyed it the past couple years. Richie is so helpful and will respond promptly to assist with any issues! Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Happy new subscriber

*2026-02-24, version 3.33*

I just signed up for PIANOSTREAM this morning and it was so easy to set up. I am so impressed with the quality of the product and the videos that helped set it up. It works great and is so much better than the radio subscription that is archaic. Richie also has fantastic customer service and responded to my questions within seconds of my asking. I 100% recommend this app.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2026-02-21*

So we bought a baby grand with the hopes that someone in the family would learn to play. Did not happen.  It happened to have a PianoDisc player on it with some outdated floppies that we did not play.   Then we found out about PianoStream.  A huge catalog of streaming tunes from the iPad  or iPhone.  Amazing!! Something for everyone.   Especially love the huge Christmas catalog, we play it in the background the whole season, friends and family love it!

### 5/5 — Fantastic platform for piano player owners

*2026-01-23, version 3.33*

The app has breathed new life in to our Mark 1 Disklavier and allows to enjoy new music like never before. The tech support getting the system working has been a wonderful experience as well.

### 5/5 — Piano Stream Support

*2025-12-19*

I cannot say enough about the support I have received from Richie Hayes.  I signed up for Piano Stream to take advantage of their large catalog of music to play on my Piano Disc 128 plus that I had installed in 2008.  I immediately encountered issues that would not allow my baby grand to play the keyboard.  Richie walked me through every step imaginable to bring this to a resolution - back to back texts, calls and continued follow ups until we had success.  I had a technician lined up from over a hundred miles to address my issue - needless to say he is no longer needed.  Lanett Johns

### 5/5 — Love love love

*2025-12-17, version 3.33*

Love this app so much! Such a simple way to bypass my old piano disk player! EXPANSIVE list of songs is so awesome!! Customer service is top notch!! Highly recommend!
