Also whenever I make song suggestions I’ve waited a year and none of them have been taken into account ### 2/5 — Excepts beginners to make less than 3 mistakes *2026-08-26, version 9.10.88* I have being playing ode to joy for 5 MINUTES! and yet piano thinks I made a mistake. It goes way too fast and when I press a note that is correct in the same spot at the same time it says it’s wrong and when and when I basically just make one mistake, it starts over the whole section ### 3/5 — Meh. *2026-08-25, version 9.10.87* At first, this app was a fun, encouraging, easy to navigate app. You feel like you’re making so much process, and you are! But then it gets difficult, and you start making mistakes. The app handles it well at first. It just starts you from the top and you can keep going. But then, if you keep messing up, it slows down the tempo. That’s also fine! But the app is sooooo condescending about it! It brings down the quality of the whole app. It makes you want to quit, like they don’t even want you to learn the piano. I want to quit because of it, and I haven’t even been playing for a week! ### 3/5 — 2nd subscription but won’t be renewing *2026-08-25, version 9.10.87* This app is very good if you want to get into piano and learn the basics but it is expensive and I’m not sure it is the best long term answer to improving piano skills. I did lessons growing up and it has been great to learn how to play again but like with a lot of apps that teach a particular skill, really improving and retaining that knowledge is minimal at best. Often you are only learning part of a song not the whole composition and a lot of resources seems to go into the challenges which aren’t necessary suited to what I want to learn. You have to play a lot of songs that you don’t want to learn to progress in the courses. It’s a great starting point but I think the app could be calibrated to aid genuine learning than gamification, particularly for the price. ### 3/5 — Decent. *2026-08-24, version 9.10.87* Its fine. Though, i could pay no money and have a family member teach me. Though, some people cant do that. So this app might be helpful. Plus, Youtube, with ads can be better. But, this app is still good. I wouldn’t recommend, but, if you want to learn piano, this will probably help you! Decent app 👍 ### 3/5 — Best app ever *2026-08-24, version 9.10.87* Really fun and nice app doesn’t cost money you need this app ### 5/5 — So fun to do and really helpful super easy love it *2026-08-24, version 9.10.87* ❤️❤️ ### 5/5 — Speed *2026-08-24, version 9.10.87* I love how by your age it goes fast or slow ### 5/5 — It is good for beginners *2026-08-24, version 9.10.87* GOOD!!! from Ezra A ### 5/5 — We need tests too, still it’s a great app ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ *2026-08-24, version 9.10.87* I played simply before and I wanted a free trail and I skipped to where I unlocked all of me but all of the essential’s I know are still locked even tho I know how to play this song. Please add test skips ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — WORST PIANO LEARNING APP! *2026-08-31* Simply piano is not what it looks like. In the adds they claim that they have 5000+ songs! Sounds great until you download the app. First you have to pick one of 6 songs that they chose for you no matter your skill level. Then after the training session (with is really designed for people who don’t really know piano) you finally finish the first song and it shows you a video that you will access a massive song library and personalised courses. I was excited because I (as someone who has played piano for almost 2 years) was really excited to play some really cool songs like the Star Wars theme or something. But after the video finished I clicked on the song that I chose at the start I got put a paywall saying I have to pay $40 a month for One account!!!!!! I know and I want to see those courses. Well If you want to play any song besides the beginner one you have to hand them money. Don’t download it it’s a waste of time and money unless you want to play these songs and have money then go for it. But oh well for most of us we want a free app that teaches you how to play songs that are cool and you don’t have to pay money for but alas so DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS!!!! ### 1/5 — Sucks *2026-08-30, version 9.10.89* It gave me like 5 min of free lessons that were easy as f then it asked to charge me like 120 dollars. They said it was free on a YouTube add ### 1/5 — Won't work with out of tune piano. *2026-08-28, version 9.10.88* If your piano is out of tune. The app does not work. ### 1/5 — Stop the pop up *2026-08-28, version 9.10.88* I don’t mind reading the app or the lessons once in a while but every time I play the piano, it asked for another reading. Stop it it’s annoying. ### 1/5 — If I could rate is zero stars I would!!!!! :( *2026-08-27, version 9.10.88* I tried it. It was really good at first actually learning to play a song but then, when I was ready to play the song it gave me UNFAIR prices to become a MEMBER!!!! 300$ A YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Simply piano got my hopes up then tore it down I really did think to trust this app but it didn’t work. ### 1/5 — I love this app but *2026-08-26, version 9.10.88* Ok look I really like this game but, you have to pay for it and it can be $230 per year. So if you’re interested in using this app DONT GET IT ! it’s a waste of time and money. ### 1/5 — IM NOT PAYING NO DANG $224.99 *2026-08-25, version 9.10.87* IM IRRITATED CAUSE HALFWAY IN MY LESSON IM GONNA FINISH I HAVE TO PAY FOR A SONG $224.99 A YEAR YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING WITH YOUR PLAYING IN MY DAMN FACE!! ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-08-25, version 9.10.87* This simply piano is really bad some of their songs have been gone and it’s really expensive! ### 1/5 — didnt know it cast money *2026-08-24, version 9.10.87* so when i looked at the app there was no in app purcheses lable so i thought that it was going to be free. guess what it aint. so now they got 1 more downloed. they should really fix that. or it could get in legal trouble. if your looking for a free piaono teacher. this aint it even though it dosent say in app purchese. go ahead downloded it but it wont be free. is there anyone else that thought it was free? ### 1/5 — Can’t access *2026-08-24, version 9.10.87* I subscribed for one month, cannot use it when I try to use the app says enter your email, when I enter my email says server error email exists! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Simply Piano: Learn Piano Fast *2026-09-02, version 9.10.90* Download the app. And password ### 5/5 — The worst thing I ever seen *2026-08-30* Hello! I am Apeksha Sake I am from Delhi, India and today I am going tell about this app and my story I saw the adds showed that this app is very good and stuff so I downloaded it then I took some lessons this was a bit difficult the song plays very fast I will say and there are people who don’t have such money but their kids want to learn piano but if you say it’s free in the adds and it’s not free in real life they will get a scam and please parents there are better apps out there please do not download and remember scammers you are steal from us then you are stealers!! And this review is based on a smart or should I genius girl named Shanvi and this doesn’t always well. This trash in potato mash and please stop this nonsense of subscriptions DO NOT DOWNLOAD Thank you ### 5/5 — SimplyPiano *2026-08-28, version 9.10.88* J’utilise cette application depuis que j’ai 9 ans et la seule chose que j’ai a dire c’est WOW ### 5/5 — DNS this is great *2026-08-26, version 9.10.88* This is great! ### 5/5 — La Alegría *2026-08-25, version 9.10.88* Si ### 5/5 — Simply *2026-08-25, version 9.10.87* Very good and has really helped Sophia on the piano ### 5/5 — Amazing. *2026-08-25, version 9.10.87* I learned how to read sheet music and how to read each note for both hands all in one day. I am amazed. Features like being able to talk to real piano experts or AI about piano questions is jaw-dropping. This might be better than taking real piano lessons; I learned so quickly! I would definitely recommend this for beginners. 👌 ### 5/5 — this game is the best *2026-08-25, version 9.10.87* it helps me do my piano and my keyboard. And it is so good for me to do when i am bored ### 5/5 — The best *2026-08-24, version 9.10.87* This is simply the best app to learn to play the piano and share with family ### 5/5 — Simply Piono *2026-08-24, version 9.10.87* I think your app is cool 😎 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
