Ratings and reviews

Good for beginners, but on a smartphone the keyboard is too small for adult fingers, even in landscape mode. This results in a lot of false responses when playing at speed. Too bad. Perhaps you could have an option for only one octave in landscape, which would better approximate the size of a real keyboard.

This application is ideal for anyone who wants to learn to sight-read music. You can learn to read music in any clef and practise your skills. No network connection is needed. Access to the full app is inexpensive (3.99€), and you can learn to read treble and bass clefs for free. The only feature missing, in my opinion, is the ability to learn to read drum scores.

Recognition via cell phone microphone works, but has limitations. If the tone lingers to long the next note is already affected. Quite often the tone will not be registered at all. MIDI via USB works really well, but only if connected directly to the keyboard. It doesn't recognise a keyboard via an USB Hub. Still, thats the best option to use. On screen keyboard also works nicely, though I don't use that. I can definitely recommend it. I'm quite impressed with the results!🥰
