Piano for iPhone Reviews

Ok so i give it a 3 because i am a phone user not an ipad of tablet user. Whoever made Piano did a good job but since i am on a phone (6s not sure if that makes a difference..) and since i am on a phone its small. Its not BIG like a real this app doesn't even show all the keys... In the picture i see a full this app however mine just end in the purple low notes... I want to learn how to play a real this app but i also wanted to see if i could play my favorite video game themes and themes from that game like for example Legend of Zelda main theme. I cant do that. The beginning of song of healing is in the purple notes but i cant go on... So yeah some fine examples and so many more themes and songs from games i'd like to play but cant! Well... Piano is well worth a 3 and i'll give you guys some major credit i just wish it was bigger for phone users honestly i dont know if its even big on a tablet but it's small on here. Still pretty good work but more like a half this app than an actual this app though...

When I got Piano everything seemed fine until these three problems showed up.
My first problem is the fact that when I’m in the middle of trying to either learn a song or trying to harmonize etc, a ton of random ads start showing up and the ‘X’ button won’t ever let me get out of the add. This occurs very frequently and it’s very annoying.
My next problem is that sometimes when I’m playing, the sound will cease and I have to completely get out of Piano , and try playing again. I always check my sound and it is always on, so I know it’s not my error.
My last and final problem is that I am not able to record any songs. Anytime I want to record a harmony to assist me when I’m playing my instrument, there will be a little box that will come up blocking my screen stating: ‘Your recording has been saved’ and below the message it says ‘cancel’ but there’s no ‘x’ and if I hit the cancel button, the recording won’t save. This could be an error on my part but developer, I’d ask that you would fix this.
Other than that, Piano has been pretty good! I love how the keys are labeled and how the keys sound very realistic. Piano is very helpful in almost every way!
Developer, I hope that you take my problems into account and hopefully they can be fixed as Piano continues to grow!

Decent app. I paid to remove ads. 🙂

Question: what does “Use Gravity” in the settings do? I don’t detect any difference with it on and off.

Bug: if you slide your finger across the keyboard to play a gliss while also dragging the position slider between the low octaves and high octaves, some keys stay gray as if you’re still playing them. Furthermore, you can’t hold a finger down on a key while dragging the slider to play a multi-octave gliss.

Feature request: I wish Piano could detect how hard I tap the keys and vary the volume accordingly. I’m sure that’s harder to do, especially now that Force Touch is gone — maybe even impossible. It would have to be based on the size of the detected touch (if you press harder, your finger spreads out more and contacts a larger portion of the screen), and I don’t know if there is an API for that.

Minor complaint: Some of the alternative instruments don’t sound at all like the real thing, or if they do, then only in a very narrow pitch range (Harp sounds ok up to F5, then changes abruptly at G5). Piano shouldn’t let me play a C7 on the electric bass; that’s just silly. The this app sounds great!

Read this review. This is a great game but there are ads every time I play the this app, luckily I can just turn off my internet and no advertisements will ever pop up. Unfortunately the developer doesn’t make any money if I turn them off so I will watch about three ads before starting so the developer could pay for rent and other kinds of things. There are bad reviews for this but he probably just needs the money and if he doesn’t then he just really likes the this app instrument. I do agree with, being on phone so you cannot play easily but that is not yours or the devs fault. Also if the dev is a woman I’m sorry I just need this review to get out. Thank you for your time.

The only problems with this game is the fact that I have to scroll in order to find the different pitches which makes it hard to play things efficiently on top you only being able to play very little notes at a time, so I want the person playing this to have access to the the whole this app at once, I also want there to be more sound options like flutes or drums or rock and roll guitars, or just about anything can work. So all of this cold give us a lot of big variety for music.

I’ve had Piano for a while now. In the new update, the developer decided to place video ads that display almost each time Piano launches. While this is moderately bothersome, what really makes this a 1-star app is the fact that the ‘X’ out button to close Piano 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 Piano 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 LOVE this game! Its so easy to use!! But there should be one thing changed...



So you know how there’s a recording button? Yeah so i think there should be a thing where you can change if the recording records outside or just on the phone. Cause then you have to be in complete quietness in order to play for fun, and I do know that you probably want to sing blah blah blah.. yeah I get it! Just it sorta limits me to where and when I can play... plus I don’t want to have to play in complete quietness you get the idea! I hope you add thiss!!!

as someone who has two pianos and practices every day i really enjoy Piano. The only downsides are that you can’t see that many notes at a time so if you wanna play anything then you need to scroll. The adds aren’t that bad honestly it’s just at the beginning then you can play what ever. One thing i think is weird is the way the audio works on the record, it’s not like screen record where you hear the phone and just the phone, you hear every last sound on your recorder

This is a great app, really, but whenever I want to record something so I can play together on my this app, I record it, and when I play it no sounds come out of the recording. I’ve checked my microphone multiple times and it’s on. The weird thing is when I go back to the this app after the bug, the this app stops working too! No sound at all. I can change the instrument and there’ll be sound but as soon as I record- no sound, I just go my iPhone so I don’t think there is something wrong with that but please fix. I’ll download Piano later to see if it works again

First I got kinda mad at my actual this app because I kept on messing up my chords, next I was in the car to go to Arizona Phoenix, then I went on App Store to find a good game. Finally that is when I found this game! This game helps me out a lot when trying to play this app. It lets you know the notes your playing it’s going to allow you to record yourself playing it you can also play my favorite song from Halloween! The theme song!

So the actual thing is good and I love wiping out my phone and playing some fun songs by if you play to low on the keyboard it will make a lighter sound which is quite annoying because if I’m getting to the climax and play to low on the key it makes it soft and ruins the whole climax (It is especially hard for me because I am a phone user)

If you want to play this on you’re phone set the keys to wide so you can hit them easier

So I ran into a problem that whenever I left Piano running in the background, it would cease to make any sound, and I would have to restart Piano . This happens every time, without fail, and it’s annoying. I recognize that the developer (may) not have English as their first language, but the grammatical and style errors that are everywhere, especially in text, are highly unprofessional. Although, when it works, it functions as a decent this app. I’d recommend looking for something else, at least until problems are fixed and it looks real.

I’m not sure why this has so many positive reviews. The only way you can record is by letting Piano 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 Piano 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 like Piano but I wish it could teach you how to play a song like you need to know how to play the only ones I know how to play is “ode to joy” “Harry Potter intro” and “twinkle twinkle little star” I love Piano but wish it could have more
Also when you record you can hear yourself and the this app I just want you guys to change that because I just want it to record the this app and not my background
Noise.
Please fix the microphone

I’ve had Piano for awhile because it’s useful for recording simple melodies. Went to use it recently and the ads just wouldn’t stop. I opened Piano , played one note, and a video add popped up with no way of getting rid of it aside from closing Piano . I closed Piano , 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 this app app that doesn’t give me pop-up ads every second.

Superb tiny this app that exactly intones triads, 7th, 5th, 3rd or any combination your creative mind thinks of on the spot. This can handle your brilliant ideas and record them so that they don't fall away to where you forget that inspiration. Sometimes I feel I'm playing and expensive baby this app! The real ones.
This sounds like a grand and records your inspiration. It offers 6 midi instruments such as Harp guitar bass so forth.
10 Stars **********

I love Piano!!! It's just like a real this app or keyboard, it even has the notes labeled in every key! The only problem is that with my iPhone, I can only reach about 14 keys at once, and in many of the songs I'm learning, you have to play keys that are far away from each other. I would suggest a zoom feature for the iPhone app at least, but other that's that it is great, will definitely recommend. :)

I’ve had Piano for a while when I decided that garage band took up too much space for my phone. Piano is pretty standard and easy to use, but it keeps glitching when I use it where after the ad plays the sound just cuts out completely. My sound is always on, as well as my ringer so I think it’s just a glitch. It’s super annoying. If you won’t need this kind of app often i recommend it, but in general there are probably better apps out there.

Piano today started giving me ads that have audio. Even when I tried to close the ad the audio kept playing. I couldn’t concentrate at all. This has never happened before.
Another thing is that when you record, Piano disconnects whatever headphone/item plugged into the audio jack. It’s not that annoying (you can bypass this by using a screen recorder that records audio as well) but I remember on one occasion Piano had deleted my recordings the next day.
Piano is functional, but it’s annoying to hear ads when you’re trying to play.

Love Piano just too many ads. Especially when I first open it I have to wait until the add stops before using the keyboard.
Sometimes there is lagging as I’m playing the keys will often get stuck.
Overall Piano is a less expensive way to have the instrument you love in the palm of your hands without breaking the bank buying an actual instrument.

Way smaller in file size than GarageBand which is a plus. The ads that appear every time you open Piano are pretty annoying as there’s a lag and sometimes you press some keys (nothing will play) and then an ad will pop up that you accidentally press. I see how they make their money now...

This month my mom got on to me for listening to my friends Undertale music, and I was devastated. But then I found Piano and started trying to play some Undertale themes. And now I've recorded them and listened to them instead of getting on the internet. Now I've recorded Your Best Friend, Dark Darker yet Darker, TeM sHoP, Mettoton Resort, Hopes and Dreams, His Theme, and Megalovania! It was a really big help and I recommend to try it if you like this app or not!! -US Sans

I really enjoy playing this game and I am a phone user and there still is a zoom option in the scroll down in the in-app settings. But I wish there was an option for “alphabetical order” or “most recent order” for the recordings list. Not magorly annoyed by anything though. So I still give it 5 stars.
Thank you for everyone who read this. This is my first review of an app!

It's a perfect app for me to play. I play Piano everyday to create some music. It's like a clarinet except it haves more than 10 notes but a this app haves more than 30 notes. It's a easy app because it shows all of the notes. That amazing app is one of the best apps ever. this app is my talent and I'm good at it. It's a great app for me to create music the sounds are great, the game is fair and it will be great if I play a this app in real life. Best musical app ever!😃🎹🎼

First off I just wanted to give it five stars but also it can be very helpful in practicing scales and can save recordings which comes in handy if your on the road and don’t have a physical this app to play. It honestly came in the clutch today because it helped me record a melody that I couldn’t have remembered otherwise without Piano. I greatly recommend Piano for all pianist.

I was taking vocal lessons and my singing teacher told me I needed to practice pitch. He looked up a this app app and found this and said this was perfect, this is like having a this app on your phone. It doesn't have any adds which is perfect since nowadays you can't have fun on a app without a stupid ad. Would recommend to anybody taking voice lessons to practice with Piano.

Unfortunately not perfect. On my iPhone 6s I cannot play the low note at full volume for any octave range when that key is either against, or partially under the left edge of the this app.

If I use headphones and exit Piano . Then restart it, while my headphones are still plugged it, their this app app then uses my iPhone's speaker! Never, ever seen that before! A really nice app with serious flaws on the iPhone 6s. Unfortunately those are deal breakers.

And their web site is not in English so I can't even tell the developer.
