Ratings and reviews

Great app! Would be awesome if it had note recognition thru sound, and even better thru Midi compatability. Edit: you should also add a mode that shows both clefs the way sheet music often does so we can learn both at the same time, it is a little different learning just one at a time. And maybe a hint button (with a visual cue?) where if you press it, it shows some or all of the note labels e.g. just the spaces or just the lines, or both.

I'm old and trying to learn piano 🎹 Note Rote has practice lessons that let you keep answering over and over and for me I love this because it will drill it into my old brain. I can already tell the more I practice the more I am getting correct. Then hopefully I can move to the next step and remember what I've learned. 5 stars!

First of all: It's really user friendly, a big thank you to the developers and the team. Moving on to a request of mine: There's just one option that's missing for me in the settings; One that allows me to hide the note names on the piano keyboard. It would be really nice, if it would be possible to add such a feature in the near future. Thanks again & kind regards

What’s new

The practice mode has been updated to use a spaced repetition algorithm. This should make the learning progress smoother and allow for small adjustments in the future.
