Even for a good keyboard player/pianist; It's difficult to record a melody or chords with correct notes and with correct musicality. And on a screen touch device (iPhone/iPad) it is nearly impossible to get the accuracy required to make the music musically perfect. MeloDeasy split 2 major fact in the music recording/performance. +DATA: The notes +EMOTION: Note timing and velocity. This new method allows you to play|record the musical idea without rushing with a metronome.

MeloDeasy's advantage is iOS requirement (10.0 vs 17.3). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Dubnote holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dubnote has 163 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of MeloDeasy's written reviews are positive against 65% of Dubnote's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

MeloDeasy ships an update every 2 months, Dubnote every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
