I’ve had this app for a while now. In the new update, the developer decided to place video ads that display almost each time the app launches. While this is moderately bothersome, what really makes this a 1-star app is the fact that the ‘X’ out button to close the app doesn’t work. Some ads are quite long and now being able to X out in a reasonable time is a terrible user experience. This is especially because I use this app to dictate a melody/harmony and I’ll need to remember the note in my head. If a long, un-skippable ad – often having music – starts blaring before I can play anything, this makes it harder to carry out that task (rather than making me more productive as an app should). Developer, please fix the broken ‘X’ out button and at least make these video ads less obnoxiously long or frequent.

I’m not sure why this has so many positive reviews. The only way you can record is by letting the app access your microphone. When you record it this way, you near the background static. When you disable microphone access, it doesn’t record sound. So, the mechanism this app uses to record is to play sound on your speaker and then record what is played. What an infuriating design flaw. I’m sitting in a quiet room, no one else is home, no TV or fan or anything and it still picked up a bunch of static. Wish I didn’t download. This might be a fun app to give a toddler that wants to get into music but not for somebody that wants to record high quality audio.

I’ve had this app for awhile because it’s useful for recording simple melodies. Went to use it recently and the ads just wouldn’t stop. I opened the app, played one note, and a video add popped up with no way of getting rid of it aside from closing the app. I closed the app, reopened it, and a new video ad played before I could tap a single key. Repeated this about 3-4 more times and kept getting greeted by unskippable video ads. Extremely annoying and not worth it when I just want to play a few notes. I downloaded a different piano app that doesn’t give me pop-up ads every second.
