👌
I was so impressed with their customer service! They helped me troubleshoot an issue with my account and made it so easy!
Scam
So l just found out the app is free but you have to pay to do anything
My Wife Loves This App
This app has been really helpful for my wife to learn how to play the piano. She likes the video instruction. She can learn at her own pace.
Playground
Hi the app tells me it's no charge in app but I have to pay 20+ dollars!!!
Incredibly Motivating
Playground is not only fun, it is addictive. The content is perfectly paced to make sure you succeed, even if you are a total beginner, and the production value is second to none. The instructors and instruction videos are clear and very helpful. The Bootcamps teach the basics in baby steps and you’re playing along with great music right from the start. The subscription price is incredibly fair for all you get.

Response from developer
Thanks so much for the thoughtful review! It means a lot to hear that the pacing, our Play to Learn method, and teachers are helping you enjoy the learning process. We built Playground to make learning piano fun and accessible from day one, so it's great to hear that's been your experience. The best part is, it keeps on getting better and better from here. Enjoy!
Another subscription
In app purchases not specified but need an account then sign up for another subscription to proceed. Dark pattern.
Sometimes no good
Doesn’t always play sounds when using app. Works better in an android.
LOVE
I LOVE this app because 1) It’s free, 2) No annoying adds, and 3) It makes piano so easy to learn! I recommend this app to anyone and EVERYONE.
App out of sync with my piano
Hi I have just downloaded the Background Sessions app but I am having 2 main issues.
1. I keep getting the message saying I am in silent mode. I have checked my settings and I am definitely not in silent mode.
2. When I play a key the app is slightly late in playing the note

VPN issues…
Living on the other side…I need to login my vpn just to connect.
NO SUBSCRIPTIONS
Their are literally no subscriptions for this piano app I love it so much because of that one thing but also it accurately teaches me how to play piano
Life time policy not worth it at all
I made a purchase of life time but they didn’t specify in their policy after 2 years I’d lose access to all their songs. This is a scam.
Worthless for acoustic piano
I purchased Playground to improve my piano skills. While I am experienced player, I wanted to start over with better basics. The concept is great but the program refuses to recognize when I play the correct notes on a very recently tuned Steinway. I am using it on an iPad and made sure the mic is not blocked. There does not appear to be any way to fix this issue

Old dog doing new tricks
Just before COVID I started traditional piano lessons. Then everything stopped and I had nothing but Chopsticks and Twinkle Star. Great if I was 6, pushing 50 in 4 more weeks. I got a deal on lifetime membership several years ago as a gift. Today I started again and love it. If you are not sure try traditional training, then get this app and keep going. Well worth the money and return to your heart.

Truly the best app for beginners
A couple years ago I took my winter vacation to test all trials for all free and paid for piano apps I could find. I would spend at least a day with each app and at the end of 7 days I would pick an app to buy and to use to learn the piano. The side scrolling apps are fun at first but they get you dizzy at faster speeds and they fail at training your eye at jumping from the end of the page to the next line when reading real music, after a day or two I knew those weren’t for me. After my 7 days of trials I bough the lifetime subscription. There really is no comparable app out there. The one feature I saw elsewhere that I wish was here was the ability to wait for input and move forward when the right input is pressed. I would like that for when you are learning something and still find it hard in the slow speed but even without that I have enjoyed using the app. Still stuck at the intermediate levels, they require way more practice and dedication to get past at full tempo. I have spent over 75 hours with the app (I bet way more but maybe it only counts when you are practicing interactively, not just to read the music) and still recommend it everywhere I go.

App changes keyboard voice
Latest update produces keyboard tone independent of keyboard voice settings
AMAZING
It Really helps to learn peano
Signing in?
Signing in loops me back through intro process. Can’t use.
Content is great but the app is terrible
I have repeatedly had issues logging in, it just keeps kicking me back to the login page.
When I eventually get access, it works fine, until I turn it off and come back later. MIDI is no longer recognised.. I reload the app and just get a blank white screen.
I will be cancelling the free trial
