This app it's fun to learn to play certain songs such as per Elise or can can I like how you have to get at least 60% of the song correct to move on! 🍉 ### 4/5 — Nice for learning new songs *2012-03-25, version v4.03* I'm learning piano and use the app to learn new songs. The game was fun, but not so great bc the fingering is impossible to real-life. ### 4/5 — Good but... *2012-02-25, version v4.03* Needs new songs more often. I've had the app for quite a while now but it's not as fun anymore. ### 4/5 — Very accurate, very addicting!! *2012-02-16, version v4.03* Enjoy the app, but wish more songs were free (w/out) upstages/credits! ### 5/5 — Cool. App *2012-02-03, version v4.03* Almost wish I could Bo it on a bigger screen maybe a full keyboard size. ### 5/5 — It's nice to also see the score *2012-01-31, version v4.03* The keys however...I find it difficult to distinguish between the reds and the blacks...color blind. ### 5/5 — Great fun *2012-01-29, version v4.03* It's not the same as a real piano but it's fun and has some of my favorite piano tunes! ### 5/5 — A Fun and Challenging App *2012-01-27, version v4.03* This app is great! I play it every day. I play the violin, so its fun to be able to "play" songs on this as well. For a free app, it is surprisingly good. I definitely recommend it. ### 4/5 — Awesome app *2012-01-27, version v4.03* I love this app:) although I do wish tht we could delete a song or something if we don't like it or can't play the song. That's why I give it 4 stars. Please change that so we can delete songs and get our points back ### 5/5 — !!! *2012-01-26, version v4.03* This app is so darn awesome. I love the songs it has and I love how you can move the keyboard to play different parts. You'll love this app as well, no doubt. ### 5/5 — it's nearly perfect，the best piano game *2012-01-23, version v4.03* Wonderful game! Only I could not preview the whole song after I have opened it. It causes some trouble ### 4/5 — piy 4 *2012-01-21, version v4.03* yes the songs are free if you play them well to earn points, however an update is in need for quite a few songs that play fast then very slow... other than that it's pretty decent. one tip is to use only the tips of you fingers and press exactly same time for multiple notes. ### 5/5 — Great *2012-01-14, version v4.03* I just wanna say that this is the first app that forced me to give my 1st comment on aap store. I'm lovin it  Download it guyz! Trust me u'll stop wastin your time on angry birds ### 5/5 — Brought me back 20 years to piano lessons *2012-01-11, version v4.03* Amazing way to independently learn to play. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible!! *2015-05-14, version v4.03* This app was really fun, until now. I cannot get past the free song. After that, what ever song I try to choose, the app freezes. I've tried uninstalling then reinstalling. Same thing. I've tried closing the app. Same thing. Please fix that. ### 1/5 — Nothing is free *2011-09-15, version v4.03* The ads block most of the notes. It feels like a scam to make a free app full of fees. Why not just make the app the $1.99 make it ad free and more people would buy it. Free apps are great but when the ads are so huge it blocks the game it does make it worth the memory. Or if ads are so needed put then before or after each song. I would not buy this app if the ads are plastered all over the music like that. This was not good ### 2/5 — Could Have Been Great *2012-01-12, version v4.03* There are no rules on how to play and one must earn points to move on. I cannot get passed 33%. You need above 60 to move on. But where are the rules that teach you? I love the concept but just no fun when you're stuck. ### 2/5 — Tempo off *2012-01-09, version v4.03* For several of the few songs i have listened to the tempo is not played as written also they have only the right hand for you to play but will put left hand note in it if they are close by not a good way to learn but a cute game concept ### 3/5 — Loved this until I got new phone. *2015-05-20, version v4.03* This was a favorite on my phone and then I updated to iPhone 6 now since I completed the free song it is completely froze will not even let me scroll through the the songs to purchase or even reopen the free song. Please fix. ### 3/5 — Fun game! *2012-02-02, version v4.03* Very fun game. Easy to get used to. Only gripe is that you don't really start with that many points and if you pick hard songs, you'll never get anymore points. ### 3/5 — Potential for greatness *2012-01-23, version v4.03* Would be a great game if they allowed you to play more than just one song. You have to buy more songs. Not a true free app. ### 3/5 — Crashes:( *2012-01-14, version v4.03* It keeps freezing during a song and I have to play a different song and then go back. ### 3/5 — Pretty Cool to play (when bored) *2011-12-31, version v4.03* Well, it is fun to play sometimes, but it kinda gets boring after a while. They could add some more stuff to it. But for just playing piano, great. Over all performance great though. ### 3/5 — Pretty good *2011-11-21, version v4.03* I bought o Canada and when I start playing it is slow but then closer to the end of the song it goes lightning speed to where it's impossible to keep up then slows down again. Besides that I like the concept!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2013-11-28, version v4.03* U will not waste your time downloading this! I love this app, and if I play it enough, I might learn the piano! ^^ ### 5/5 — So much FUN! *2012-12-21, version v4.03* I have played piano pretty much since birth but it never "kept score"...I love this game because I can compete. Thank you for such a fun game! ### 5/5 — It's an awesome game. Helps you Learn how to play the songs you like *2012-10-20, version v4.03* It's an awesome game. Helps you Learn how to play the songs you like ### 5/5 — Ply 4 *2012-09-21, version v4.03* It is so awesome get you get to learn everything don't worry about how to play the piano it shows up red lights to show you were to press!!!!!:) ### 5/5 — Better than Magic Piano *2012-09-01, version v4.03* I wish that You can earn more points per musical piece, because you pay 20 points per piece, then gain 25 points once you master it, so you only gain 5 points per piece. I hope you gain 30 points once you master a musical piece (So you gain 10) because right now you'll have to buy 200 musical prices just to gain 200 points. All I want to do with the 200 points is to be able to play my piano music that's on iTunes on PlayItYourself 4. ### 5/5 — One of my fav piano app *2012-07-10, version v4.03* It's such a fun to know the notes playing in those well-known piano pieces . This is one of my fav piano app I love it :) ### 5/5 — Great *2012-06-10, version v4.03* It's a good app but I don't play it much that often that's kind of why i didn't play it later soo yah.. ### 5/5 — Super fun *2012-02-06, version v4.03* You will have so much fun playing it and u can play with friends ### 5/5 — Help *2012-02-05, version v4.03* Love the game but there's no sound. I cant find the problem my volume works on other apps but not this one. Any help? ### 5/5 — YES! *2012-02-05, version v4.03* If you know how to read/play music or not, this app is awesome!
