Made for iPhone Duo: your tabs and account move into the side bar on the cover screen and when open, so the music has more room. Stand it half open like a laptop and the score stays on the upright half, with the controls on the half that lies flat. Plus quicker access to notification settings, and small fixes and improvements.

User reviews

A developer who listens—and an app that keeps getting better

I started using Sight Reader Read Piano Music this week, and I’m already impressed by both the app and the person behind it. Brett Cameron has been quick to respond to feedback and attentive to practical quality-of-life improvements. In just the few days I’ve been using it, he’s already improved the app twice.

The lessons are useful, and the little quizzes along the way help reinforce what I’m learning. Repeated reminders make a real difference when I’m still trying to remember things like where D5 is.

It’s rare to see a developer respond so quickly and make it clear that user feedback matters. Sight Reader is already a helpful practice tool, and it’s encouraging to see it getting better through thoughtful updates. I’m looking forward to seeing it continue to grow.

Learning to play made easy!

I’ve always wanted to learn to read music and play the piano. On a whim, I downloaded this app and I’m quite impressed! It’s very simple, straightforward, and I’ve been able to pick it up pretty quickly. My ADHD brain absolutely loves this and I’m excited to continue learning!!

The best sight reading app

This app is absolutely amazing! 🎹 As a music teacher, I find it incredibly helpful for both my students and my own practice. I love that it offers Grades 1–8, giving students a clear path to improve and keep challenging themselves as they progress. You can connect your piano directly through MIDI, and the app can also listen to you play through audio, which makes practicing feel much more interactive.

The real-time feedback, different difficulty levels, and variety of exercises make it an excellent tool for building sight-reading skills. It’s especially helpful for students because they can practice on their own and immediately see how they’re doing. I highly recommend it to any piano teacher or student looking to become a stronger sight-reader! 🎼🔥
