Shouldn't this be C4? **Developer response:** The default key labels are using the traditional Helmholtz pitch notation which use C,, C, C c c' c'' c''' to represent Cs in different octaves, where c' equals to C4 in modern MIDI world. You can change to different key labels in the full version or Real Piano. ### 3/5 — Fine *2020-02-12* It’s worked well enough, but I find that I can’t play specifically 3-note chords without the sound coming out a fair bit after I hit the keys ### 2/5 — Last update made it unreliable *2018-07-04* Used to be fine giving the tones I needed. But recent update gave it a lag in key responsiveness that makes it unusable. ### 2/5 — Inconsistent *2017-03-28* Worked great when I first downloaded the app last week, but in the pat few days has stopped making any sounds. I've checked my phone volume and settings, and I'm not having trouble with sound from any other apps, so I've got to conclude that it's an issue with the piano app. Frustrating, but good motivation to finally snag one of those free pianos that's always on Craigslist. ### 5/5 — 제발 구매내역 삭제 요청합니다. ㅠㅠㅠㅠ *2016-07-17* 제발 구매내역 삭제 요청합니다. ㅠㅠㅠㅠ ### 2/5 — 구매내역삭제부탁드립니다 *2016-07-05* 구매내역삭제부탁드립니다 ### 4/5 — Pretty awesome *2016-06-26* I like it! ### 5/5 — 👍👍 *2016-04-16* Good app ### 5/5 — Cat's pajamas! *2016-01-17* Free version is perfect. Exactly what I hoped to find. Great on iPhone 6 Plus. Single keyboard option shows middle C, and C above and below. Slider allows all 88 keys. Excellent piano tone, and the sustain mimics that of a piano without the sustain pedal down. i.e., Press and hold yields more sustain than a short tap. Thanks. ### 4/5 — It's ok *2015-10-29* If you didn't have to buy the full version for all the features it would be better. ### 4/5 — Love *2015-10-20* Love this!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 잡음 심함 *2026-08-02* 어느 날 부터 타건을 하면 잡음이 들리기 시작한 사지 마세요 스트레스 심함 ### 1/5 — MATFF *2022-03-05* That stands for make all the features FREE ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2020-01-22* Tried using it keys get stuck when your press more than 3 ### 1/5 — Missing keys *2019-10-20* The description promised 88 keys. I seem to have only one octave. Not what I wanted. **Developer response:** You can slide the top bar to move across 88 keys. ### 1/5 — Three notes together issues... *2019-10-03, version 4.2.3* This app used to work like a charm to work out chords to songs while listening to them, but not sure if an update to the app has now restricted this to maximum of two notes at a time, when most simple chords are triads. Will definitely rate this five star once this is fixed. ### 1/5 — Don’t open it on iPhone Xs can’t close w/o reboot *2018-11-23* What’s the deal? Got new iPhone Xs. Opened it. Can’t swipe to close it. Can’t close the program or get use of your phone back without a hard reboot. Only way to get your phone. Basically bricks your phone until you do that. Shame too. I like this program. ### 1/5 — DONT BOTHER *2016-10-16* This app is awful, you have to purchase upgrades and the sound is terrible. ### 1/5 — 구매내역삭제 *2016-04-29* 구매내역삭제해주세요 ### 1/5 — Dissapointing *2015-05-08, version 4.1* Not a real piano. I feel betrayed. The government needs to crack down on false advertisement. ### 1/5 — Cool looking app *2014-08-24, version 4.1* Too bad it doesn't run at all. It will crash the moment you try opening it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Meilleure app *2026-05-16* J’ai testé plusieurs apps surtout pour simplement trouver une tona ou une gamme, sans pub, t’ouvres directement l’appli et aucune pub, rien. ### 5/5 — Like *2024-01-29* Simple but powerful ### 5/5 — Goog *2022-12-30* Nice ### 5/5 — Reco *2022-09-25* Bien pratique quand on n’a pas de piano à proximité pour trouver une tonalité, vérifier la justesse des notes … pour chanter. C’est tout ce que je cherchais mais difficile maintenant à trouver. Application réellement gratuite. ### 5/5 — Real Piano *2020-04-11* 一款真实的钢琴App，专业级功能丰富 ### 5/5 — nice *2019-05-13* nice ### 5/5 — It’s *2018-12-15* Great ### 5/5 — Doesn’t work requires purchase upgrades *2017-11-19* Nothing on this app works without buying upgrade packs. ### 5/5 — 구매 삭제 부탁드립니다^^ *2017-03-01* 구매 삭제 부탁드립니다^^ ### 5/5 — 😍 *2016-12-05* 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
