## What is Speedy Note?

Speedy Note: Bass Clef teaches you to read the Bass Clef (F Clef) in an interactive, fun and competitive game environment. Great for beginners to advanced, children or adults. Master the six levels and you have mastered the Bass Clef! Compete with yourself or with your friends. Speedy Note tracks your scores and lets you know how you are doing. 

Speedy Note also allows you to learn at your own pace – you decide the level of difficulty and when to advance to more difficult levels.

Speedy Note: Bass Clef is very intuitive. It only takes a few moments to learn how to use (even for young children).

FEATURES:
Speedy Note is MIDI compatible. You can use your midi instrument to play the game and learn the notes. (Requires a MIDI interface connected through the lightening port or a Bluetooth LE MIDI device.)

CD quality piano sounds.

Can be used silently allowing you to practice learning notes anywhere, any time. (No need to turn down or off your device’s volume.)

You can learn either using alphabetic notation (A, B, C, D, E, F, G) or Solfege notation (Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Si).

### 4/5 — Pas mal

*2025-10-26*

Amusant pour apprendre

### 5/5 — チェロの練習にちょうど良い！

*2025-09-20*

𝄢
チェロの練習をこれから始める者ですが、ヘ音譜表（低音部譜表）の読解練習に重宝しています。難易度も６段階から選べるし、制限時間が40秒間というのもちょうど良いです❗️目指せ１秒１得点‼️
音名がドレミファソラシドではなく、CDEFGAHも選べたら、もっと良いと思います。

### 1/5 — No instructions !

*2025-06-08*

I bought the app but I can’t figure out how it works. I don’t have a midi device. Is that 
the trick? Any way to get a refund?

**Developer response:** You don't need a midi device to use the app. The app should be simple to use. When the app opens you are on the Level screen, which is where you select the level you want: levels 1 (easy) thru 6 (difficult). After selecting your level go to the Game screen by tapping on "Game" at the top right corner of the Level screen. Once on the Game screen, tap "Start" to begin the game. 

To change your preferences for game appearance, audio, button layout and music display preference: tap on the gear icon at the bottom right of the game screen.

To get a refund, go to Apple's "Report a Problem" web page (be sure do it on a device which has the app on it).

### 1/5 — Wasted.

*2023-10-20*

Not worth the price. No time signatures and other scales

### 3/5 — Bluetooth ?

*2021-10-25*

I bought the latest version and it says the app is connected with my Bluetooth. But when I play the key on the piano keyboard it didn’t do anything. I tried a midi adapter and also Bluetooth. It says it recognizes them and is connected but doesn’t work. It seems to require you identify the note using the letters on the iPad screen. How do I get it to work with Bluetooth or midi?

**Developer response:** I have never been able to duplicate this problem and no other customer has ever contacted me with this problem. I have no information regarding the device used or the operating system. The email address on my website is, and always has been, functional. So, this review doesn't make any sense to me.

### 1/5 — Salut

*2021-09-29*

C nul, bref, salut eva

### 1/5 — Don't buy

*2021-09-09*

Def don't buy worst $3 I have ever spent.Super boring and has not helped at all

### 1/5 — But

*2020-02-02, version 1.6*

J ai acheté l application et lorsque je souhaite commencer le premier niveau je n accède à rien les notes sont marquées 
Je n arrive pas à tester l application 
Dommage c est décevant !

### 4/5 — Very Good

*2017-10-24*

If you try this out, you need to start off with the 1st level. However, I’m slightly disappointed there are no accidentals (sharp, flat) because you can’t truly master the bass clef without mastering the accidentals

### 4/5 — Simple et efficace

*2016-01-23, version 1.3*

Une bonne petite appli qui fait son boulot.
