It’s impossible to play

The notes are so small and it’s nearly impossible to tap the notes.and m gonna delete it.

Nope

When you’re right in the middle of a song, it literally says you have to pay but if you press back, it literally doesn’t unpause Then what’s the point of playing it?

Best synthesizer of ALL TIME

Synthesia is probably the most insane synthesizer of ALL TIME! It has so much instruments, a whole bunch of songs to choose from, and gives the player a WHOLE OTHER LEVEL OF MUSIC. Five stars, I am just speechless…

FAQ

What is Synthesia?

Synthesia is a piano learning application that uses a falling note system to teach users how to play. It allows you to learn immediately, even if you don't know how to read sheet music. You can use your device's touchscreen or connect a digital keyboard to play.

How does Synthesia help me learn piano?

It teaches piano through interactive falling notes that indicate which keys to press. The app offers Melody Practice mode, which waits for you to hit the correct note. It also provides finger hints for every song and allows you to choose between traditional sheet music, falling notes, or both.

Is Synthesia free to use?

The app offers a free version with over 20 songs to try. To unlock all 150 included songs, any MIDI song, and additional features like recording, a one-time purchase is required. This purchase is not a subscription and includes all future upgrades.

What devices is Synthesia compatible with?

Synthesia can be used with your device's touchscreen. It also connects to digital pianos and is compatible with the lights in most lighted keyboards, allowing you to play along with real piano keys.

Can I use my own MIDI songs with Synthesia?

Yes, after unlocking the full version with a one-time purchase, you can play any MIDI song ever created. This significantly expands the song library beyond the included 150 songs.
