Ratings and reviews

Would be a more than ideal app if the keyboard expanded beyond one octave. It is impossible to learn to read music correctly when, for example, the exact same "F" on the virtual keyboard registers as correct for both treble cleff "F" on space 1 and treble cleff "F" on line 5. This is confusing despite the moveable/highlighted octave marker above the main keyboard. In fact it overcomplicates what could be a simple idea, thus negating the whole premise of the app.

Very excited for the app but it keeps crashing on my Google Pixel 2. I can't even get past the simplest training exercises without it crashing. The only training that successfully loaded was lesson one with both treble and bass clef. Lessons 2, 3 and 4 broke. A much later lesson with all accidentals worked but obviously I can't jump straight to that...

NOT THE CORRECT NOTES! The notes are noT correlated with the correct octaves.. (I.g. .if you are playing an F located on the first space ib the staff and moving up the staff to play C, it only lets you choose the C that is lower on the pianos octave... wheb in reality, that key would be to the right of the F key on the keyboard, not to the left!
