Quality of app complaints
The new update makes the rolling notes much bigger and blocky. It looks and feels like it’s meant for a 5 year old now and makes the music harder to play compared to the old version. I’m fine if others like it but they should at least add the option to change the thickness of the rolling notes. Also the time played doesn’t always work. I’ve spent an hour of time in lessons and it just won’t count it. I then have to practice songs separately to maintain a streak even though I’ve been practicing for an hour.

Latest update has broken the app for me
Not sure what’s wrong but now anytime I try to play a song it seems to think I have to piano m’s connected and the sound cuts out completely. Hopefully this gets fixed soon.
ROLI
The app was very good, but please make that you can change the colour of your keyboard and it will stay like that maybe in the settings or something
Brilliant
and I wish I was !
No free play
Can’t free play on the app which is ridiculous, the lessons are not very memorable. I learnt a song on the Roli by looking at the colours light up on the piano and when I went to my friends house to show what I learnt on an actual piano, their was almost no transfer of understanding. I would recommend this to someone that wants to play a piano version of guitar hero but that’s about it.

Do not get
When I got the app I had to pay to play songs
I have to play for it last time it was free.

Does not register keys during lessons
The whole gimmick of this is to play along to learn. Lessons don’t progress because the keys do not register! I have to Ms so they aren’t the issue.
Suggestions
First, I am really enjoying this app and the keyboard. I would like to suggest a couple additional features for this app. Please add the loop feature to the lessons’ section so you can practice a section without having to rewind. Also, I would like you to add different speeds to the scale challenges. Otherwise, FIVE star!

Working fine until we got the air wave.
The Piano M was working fine until we got the airwave and we haven't been able to get the airwave to function at all properly since we've gotten it weeks ago. We've tried connecting and disconnecting as recommended but still nothing seems to work in the setup. There's no hand tracking that's working and we've submitted tickets online and emails to have this help resolved. Nothing on the knowledge base or FAQ seems to give us any hints as to how to fix this and nobody's responded in weeks from the company about how to fix us. Very frustrating experience.

Poorly structured, hostile to learners
I’ve gone through a couple of cycles of attempting to use this app to develop piano skills, and it seems to be getting worse with progressive iterations.
First, the lessons. They are all half-cooked. They say you’re going to learn a song, teach you a tiny part, tell you in the next lesson you’ll learn more, but the next lesson is a completely different song.
Then, you land on a song you want to learn, and you go through a segment and want to practice that segment. Well you have to reset the entire lesson back to the beginning, and optionally fast forward to the segment you’re interested in, only to have it start playing immediately, causing you to scramble to pick it up. Repeat as necessary.
Finally, it’s the end of the lesson, you want to get a score to see how you did, and practice the lesson. Again you have to press retry that takes you back to the beginning so you either have to wait through the entire damn lesson all over again or scramble to fast forward and deal with that.
Again, next lesson something completely different.
Then we get into what should be the killer feature of this app the ability to practice actual songs, for instance, flowers by Miley Cyrus.
Given that in the lesson it advocates when you’re learning a song, you should take a part of that song and practice it over and over again until you get good at it and then go to the next section, there is no way to do this when you’re trying to actually learn/practice the song, forcing you into guitar hero mode rather than learning it correctly.
This is a fantastic idea for a product, but the near complete lack of thought into the user experience makes it incredibly frustrating to use.

Love it
Such a grate way to learn piano I already know how to play 2 songs and it is just fun in general!
Ok
Cooler
Best app for peano
Just goooooooood
It finally is REAL!! On my desk ALIVE!!
Worth the wait! I was slow to get it out of the box thinking it would take awhile to figure out the AIRWAVE. Ha…. Plugged it in and it went right to work! I still need time to dial it in and have many questions but like anything it takes a bit of effort to get comfortable. Hooked it to a new iPad and the Learn Piano and AIRWAVE are working fine in the LEARN app. I think i botched the payment marriage to my learn app so I paid for a month to get it going after a year membership payment went somewhere but not on my account yet. I’m sure that can be sorted out as we go along. My next question to get answered does equator work on an iPad? I have it on my Mac. Can I just usb wire to the MACi Mini while the AIRWAVE is plugged into the iPad. Or should i only have it on one computer at a time.

Fantastic start and huge potential!
Really enjoying my experience so far, though there are some minor bugs to be squashed and for some reason the release version is showing as the development version… These issues aside, I’m really impressed with the keyboard and variety of learning options in the app. I can see this really helping me to play.

Latest update is worse
Noticed that wherever I try to play the left hand part of a song when only using one piano m nothing shows on the screen. The keys light up but not the notes. Very disappointed. Hope a fix comes soon.
Excellent Tool
Very Happy with this, but my fingers are big & I mess up, keep training as much as you can. Cheaper than getting lessons & in my time when I want to learn. No experience before, but this is going to help, I fully recommended this and it’s so much fun. Very addictive & it gives me goosebumps when you start to get better, #rolilearn

Device Compatibility
This is a great learning application. Plenty of fun things to do and really well guided. Intermittently i do notice delay issues when trying to play the jump platform game but it’s not a deal breaker. To make this a perfect experience it would be great if there was a Mac version as I don’t own a tablet, just an iPhone and Mac. Please consider making this available to Mac device’s.

Hundreds of dollars now worthless
Give people who already paid for the keyboards access to at least public domain songs & basic drills. My electric keyboard from the 80’s has more functionality to it than my 2 LUMI keyboards I bought & supported the company with years ago. Now all the app can do without paying the ransom fee is play Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
