I am a florist but my instrument doesn’t appear on this new app, for some reason. Nevertheless, the functions aren’t all great and it’s great using this app. No technical issues at all. ### 3/5 — 为什么英皇2025新版没有！！！！ *2025-02-19, version 12.15.5* 更新不及时 2025英皇 新版都没有 ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2024-12-04, version 12.15.5* This app helps me so much with my piano and violin 🎻. I wonder 💭 when it is the next update. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2024-11-09, version 12.15.5* Your stuff is awesome ### 5/5 — 好用 *2024-10-22, version 12.15.5* 非常好用，孩子练琴也自觉多了，还可以检验效果！ ### 4/5 — Ok it’s average *2024-09-08* I can play songs without having to pay. But what I would want is some more songs that can be played like more Christmas music and stuff. I also think that there should be music where the actual developers upload themselves so that they won’t have to rely on people to share their own music on there. ### 3/5 — cannot login with HK phone number *2024-07-21, version 12.9.5* The country code has been set to +1 when I choose Hong Kong +852 so I cannot login anymore ### 4/5 — Good app *2024-07-03* Helps a lot I would recommend!😀 **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m thrilled to hear that the app is helping you. Your recommendation means a lot to me! 😀 ### 4/5 — Great app But broke my E *2024-07-02* This app is amazing but it broke my E string So this afternoon I was using this app and it told me to keep loosening my violin so I did. But then I saw that the string was too loose so I tried tightening it. Then the wood thing (bridge) came off. My mom saw it so she tried tightening it and then the E string broke off. I just wanted to write this so then every violinist knows that this is normal to happen and that your violin teacher could probably fix it. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for saying the app is amazing! I really appreciate your experience and feedback. I’m really sorry to hear that this happened, but I appreciate your understanding. It’s true that these things can occasionally happen with string instruments, and it’s always best to consult with a violin teacher for proper adjustments. If there’s anything else I can do to help, please don’t hesitate to reach out! ### 4/5 — LOVE IT *2024-04-09* This app is amazing yet too less options for songs and mostly classical. Though it’s good it still needs improvement ✨😊✨ **Developer response:** Let us know which songs you need by emailing us at support@violy.app. We’d love to hear from you! ### 5/5 — It’s ok *2024-03-29, version 11.8.3* I like it because I am a beginner.

Just one thing… *2024-01-01* Violy is an AWSOME app! The demos, the auditions, everything! I just think that the note-by-note could be better. Thank you, Violy! P.S. If you can use Violy for other instruments besides violin, why is it called Violy? I’m not asking you to change the name or anything, just asking. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled that you enjoy using Violy, and we wish you great success in your violin learning journey. The app was originally created for violinists, which is why it’s called ‘Violy.’ The name has become well-loved by our users, so we decided to keep it even as we expanded to support more instruments. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — not good *2026-06-26, version 13.2.1* When I tune my viola, it says “perfect!” Then, not even a minute later, it says “too low!” ### 1/5 — What a BLOODY App *2025-05-30, version 13.2.1* I want to say, it was a trash! the price was so high! ### 1/5 — This app can be mistaken *2024-01-05, version 11.8.3* When I got my intonation scores sometimes, it would run over the whole thing really fast and then the score would appear like, it didn’t catch me at all. ### 1/5 — DO NOT use. Ask for phone number to sign up. *2020-09-07, version 6.4.1* Do NOT sign up or use this app. It asks for your phone number in order to register. This alone is already a privacy problem. What does practicing music have to do with one’s phone number? Unless this app is trying to sell your data. ### 1/5 — Not Happy *2020-05-04, version 5.2.5* I am not happy with this app, it has not been letting me send upload my own music docs, and it’s so low quality.......I feel very dissatisfied and disappointed ### 1/5 — Can’t delete account. *2019-08-30, version 4.0.3* I was just curious about the available repertoire. I accidentally hit a “gift VIP” subscription button, and I cannot delete my account. I’m not interested in the app; repertoire is too limited. Please delete my account, I don’t want any subscriptions ### 1/5 — I’m stuck on the GDAE portion *2019-05-18, version 2.9.7* Please fix this, thank you ### 1/5 — Cellphone number registration required- beware! *2019-02-09, version 2.8.1* Unacceptable privacy policy- cellphone number registration required to use the app. This is a non-starter for me. Please provide an option to use app without having to register. ### 2/5 — Encourages mechanical playing *2026-03-23* I played a couple of pieces and scored mid-80s. I played them again, slowly and mechanically without expression and scored higher. Now maybe I’m just not that good, you say. So I played a recording of Yo Yo Ma playing the same piece and he scored a 75 (In your face, Yo Yo!). I’ve been teaching cello and writing music software algorithms for several decades. The app’s tendency to report correct notes as inaccuracies will prompt students to play more mechanically and less musically. It may be helpful for the most basic practice of getting students to play mostly right notes, but I do not want my students playing in the manner this software encourages, as if scoring points is the point. The very real challenge of teaching strings is producing a good tone and making musical phrases. This app actually discourages these practices. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t work *2020-06-06, version 5.2.7* Can’t find the live class selection I only see piano vocal violin clarinet etc... ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 美区没有国内版 *2026-07-30, version 13.2.1* 能不能在美区上一个国内版的一起练琴，方便美区的同学们线上上老师的课。 ### 5/5 — So good *2026-06-26* Helped me a lot! Let’s hope the new market gem stone thing will come out soon! ### 5/5 — Nice app *2026-01-07, version 13.2.1* cool and useful app ### 5/5 — Review for Violy *2025-06-30* Love it! This app make my practice actually count! When I use this app mistakes are welcome! I love the audition setting! This app has literally all of the song in the world filed just for you! I highly recommend this app. ### 5/5 — Best app EVER *2025-06-27, version 13.2.1* Great app, especially for beginners in Violin. Has helped me a TON. ### 5/5 — Unknown *2025-05-08* I really prefer this app! It helps 💯. ### 5/5 — 忠实老顾客 *2025-02-18* 用了好多年的陪练真人老师，孩子效果比线下老师更好，随时随地挑选老师！ ### 5/5 — Good *2025-02-14* Easy to use, like it.it is good to use，超级好用 ### 5/5 — Great app! 5 stars *2025-02-04* This app is great, and as a beginner violinist, it is really helpful to have an app with lots of sheet music and books. I love how there is a free version, where you still learn a lot without paying any money. I would definitely recommend this app to everyone wanting to learn and practic violin. One thing that I wish they could do was to add more songs. There is a limited amount of songs to play on the app. ### 5/5 — Great app! 5 stars *2024-12-29* This app is great, and as a beginner violinist, it is really helpful to have an app with lots of sheet music and books. I love how there is a free version, where you still learn a lot without paying any money. I would definitely recommend this app to everyone wanting t learn and practic violin. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
