Ratings and reviews

I like this app, it is improving my very rusty sight reading, and offers some wonderful, non-patronizing flexibility! I think the note Writing switches need a little work though, because I tried to toggle "force writing exercises" (which I believe should give me more practice planning notes on the stave, right?) and got exactly zero of those with it enabled, not even when I made my own custom lesson. There would be occasional ones without it enabled, at least. Keep up the good work, Developers!

Why on earth havent they integrated an audio input feature to be able to capture the audio from my piano? I already have to enable the mic to sing, why can't the sight reading portion also enable my microphone to pick up the sound? Assuming it's tuned to 440 hz, why is this such an elusive feature? I'm not going to get better at sight reading by playing on a virtual keyboard! Midi is only half a solution since I'm using this app on mobile.

Ok just got some background I'm a guitarist and not to toot my own horn but I'm pretty good at guitar. But I always felt like my music theory was lacking. I've always wanted to be able to efficiently read sheet music. I feel like this app is the best one out here! Just after a couple minutes I feel like my ability to read music more efficiently has double! I would recommend this is you are a newbie at sheet music. The only issue I have with this app is it only teaches the note names. No timing.
