OnlinePianist:Play Piano Songs Reviews

by ItIzWednezdayMyDudez

So, I just got OnlinePianist because it looked like a good piano app, right? It opens and I click a few songs, etc. Everything seems good, right? Then I go to the search button to look for some songs by Shawn Mendez, and they pop up. I click on one, and then it says I have to buy a subscription if I want to play any of the songs that are listed. Um, excuse me? So then I looked for a song by Camilla Cabello, and the same thing happens. And then I find out that there’s a specific section for the “free” songs. So I look, and all the songs are either ones I don’t know, are not popular, or are old classical music. And, I know that OnlinePianist has to get income or else it might not be able to stay up, but can I at least have a few songs that I like without having to pay a subscription?
If you can add a few more popular songs to the “free” list, that would be so so absolutely great!
It’s not that OnlinePianist is bad or anything. It’s a good app for learning to play the piano, but I need a little more motivation than just a few classical songs.

The new app is ok. A couple things I would like to see. First, the selection is not very good. Example, if I look for songs by Eric Clapton or Bob Seger, there is only one for each. There are many more examples. I use another app which is a sheet music app and looking at the same artists the selection is endless.
Second, and maybe the above reason is why, but rather than pay a subscription for lots of songs I have no interest in, and I know it’s been a long time since it was available but the ability to purchase individual songs would be very beneficial to the user. Over the past two weeks I have purchased multiple sheet music pieces from the other app I described. At 3 or $4 per song it would only take a purchase of 15 to 20 songs to get your $60 that is charged for the annual subscription.
Last, organization of my songbook is not good. OnlinePianist used to put songs in order alphabetically and although there is a search option, the previous app was better in this respect. Also, the FAQ section is laughable. There is virtually no content there.
The new “teaching” format in OnlinePianist is very good. The ability to master portions of a song is a good tool. I have shared my concerns with the support group and have received excellent response. I appreciate the help addressing my questions and concerns.

This is an overall great app, but it is too expensive. I know about the every three day free song, but I think whenever you get OnlinePianist you should be able to pick any three songs. That way it wouldn’t take me that long to get the song I like. Please add in the feature I mentioned. Also, can you make the songs sound more... I don't really know how to describe it, but it sounds... different from my piano. Also, can you add an extreme with much harder notes? The HTTYD was a little simple. One more thing. I waited 6 days to get a new song, but there was no search! My ‘free song’ was not even pickable. You should at least add a feature where you can pick which song you get. I frankly didn’t even like any of the song options. There were only nine. Other than that, I’m glad someone’s took the time to make an app like this, but it is the one thing( the not being able to pick the free 3 day song) that has stopped me from giving it 5 stars.

I think this is a great idea for beginner pianists to learn to play and grow, but I think you should add a couple of free soundtrack songs, like from Disney or whatever. Because most people don’t know the songs you have for free, and like I only listen to movie soundtracks and stuff. And I think you should make the subscription a lot cheeper. I mean who’s gonna spend 80 bucks on an app, that’s just my thinking, and I know some people will, because it’s cheeper than most piano lessons, but I would still like it if it was a little cheeper and easier to afford. I just don’t think you have a great enough variety of free songs if the subscription is going to be that expensive.

I was using OnlinePianist for a little bit to try it out and I loved it! It was super easy to follow and definitely user friendly. My app automatically updated and it is not easy to navigate. Many of the features that were there prior to the update are now hidden and not as easily accessible as before. I really wish they hadn’t changed the layout of OnlinePianist , otherwise I would definitely give it five stars. If this is your first time getting OnlinePianist , then I highly recommend using it, however for those of us who have had to experience this new update I would ask the makers to maybe change it again, or make a user guide in order for us to understand how to work this new version.

Hi
Im writing this review because sometimes there is a glitch in OnlinePianist we’re a song gets stuck on a difficulty and OnlinePianist isn’t allowing me to change it. Sometimes I cannot change a song to the pro level. Sometimes I cannot change it back to beginner. I find it weird because when this happened I went to another random song in my library and the difficulty glitch doesn’t happen. I’ve also tried closing out OnlinePianist and waiting a little to go back in but the song level is still stuck. (Also it is not because of OnlinePianist saving what you normally play at because in those songs i play frequently at the same level, it allows me to change the difficulty just fine.) One other thing I think would be great to add is you can’t change the speed while the song is paused you can only change it while the song is playing (at least for me anyways.) also when you mute one hand you can hardly see we’re it goes on the keys and it doesn’t show the notes. I know you guys like to hear back from customers on how to improve OnlinePianist . I thought this is something you would like to know. But I really do love OnlinePianist and have been using it for a long time, I’ve even written another positive review for you guys a while back. Thanks for taking the time to read my review!

I love that people receive a free song if they visit OnlinePianist at least once a day for three days, but it would be a lot better if it was possible to select one song instead of being shown a list of songs, because today is my 3rd day visiting OnlinePianist so I earned a free song but I would really like to learn how to play this one song but it is not free, I wish that I could choose that song as my reward instead of having to choose a song that I don't even want to learn/ have interest in. Is it possible for this to become a possibility?

by Ambeenicole88

This is a really useful and user friendly app for learning new songs to play in the piano! I love that there is a free library of songs, as well as songs that you can purchase! It's really neat because you get a free tune on the days that you log in. I love that you can slow down the tracks to make sure that you don't miss a note. The only thing I would like to see added is a feature where you can actually hit the keys on OnlinePianist itself! I think that anyone learning piano or trying to broaden their set list would greatly benefit from this tool!

I’m not sure if it’s just me, or anybody else. I bought the subscription, purchase went through, etc. I’m still on the free trial, as I bought the subscription around 5-10 minutes from writing this. I clicked on a song, which mind you came with the subscription, and it just gave me the “buy the subscription” add. When I clicked get subscription, it just said “you are already subscribed” so basically I can’t even play the songs I paid for.

Edit: fixed my app! Not sure why, but I had to restore my progress.

This is my second month on the yearly plan- it’s expensive but if you’re doing this instead of taking lessons it’s a great way to learn the songs you want to play without the hassle. I’ve also used the service to purchase particular songs that they did not have available in the catalog- which is a great feature. The songs came quickly and were great quality, with great customer service . Highly recommend, you don’t have to pay for the pro version I just prefer it.

I love OnlinePianist so much! Thank you guys so much! The new update took me a little bit to get used to, but I love it. I am exited for future updates and see how you guys make it better, though I don’t know how it can get much better than this. Thank you guys so much! If you are reading this and you don’t have OnlinePianist, you should get it. It makes playing piano very easy, especially if you are looking to learn certain songs, because OnlinePianist has everything! Thank you developers for working so hard on this! Please don’t ever stop working on it! Thank you.

I had some favorite songs I just couldn't figure out their chords and right fingering. I checked online for the notes, but unfortunately, I'm not a music guru, I couldn't fathom the expertise in those notes, so I check OnlinePianist Store and finally stumbled on OnlinePianist.
One amazing thing is you can reduce the speed of the song being played in order to score the right chords and play it better, the sustain is awesome, the transpose wowed me! I'm overly satisfied! I recommend OnlinePianist to everyone who has an amazing song you just wanna play in the most accurate ways! Thumbs up!

by Phantom1958

This is a great app and I love it however I have a few suggestions first make a icon to have the sheet music in the top right or something (if there is one please tell me how to get it) also make the free 3 songs be pickable from the catalog and if you don’t won’t to do that do it with your starter song also in the catalog its kinda hard to see/heer the song on demand so when you click play make it play just audio and be able to click to see the video part to lastly if you add a song to the faverets/front page thing it should turn dark to see your songs easier thanks for listening

by Sebmiguel04

OnlinePianist is great and easy to use, and I have learned most of the songs I know using it. It has many features that allow you to more easily learn songs and are quite useful. It also has a wide variety of songs, much larger than many other piano song learning apps, such as Yousician. OnlinePianist has allowed me to really improve my piano skills while also learning how to play some of my favorite songs, so I highly recommend it. Aside from the usefulness of OnlinePianist itself, the customer support is very good, being quick to respond and trying to resolve the issue as best they can, and listening and considering thoughts and feedback.

Very nice app! It gives you a huge selection of tunes from your favorite artists. I thought it would just be a bunch of tracks I've never heard, but the selection is actually pretty updated. You get free tracks every so often as well. OnlinePianist is very easy to use. If you have a piano in front of you, it's very easy to use it and follow along. The colors and teaching style is interactive so you don't feel like you're reading a book.

The only issue I had with it was that the tracks listing are cramped together and the "add" button is kinda small so it's easy to hit the wrong one. But that's just a minor issue.

Overall, it's an awesome app and teaches you how to play your favorite tunes. And there are a ton of them.

I have used online pianist for about a year and have thoroughly enjoyed it. It provides a ton of songs, many of which are not on other piano apps. The main difference between online pianist and other apps (such as Flowkey or Simply Piano) is that it does not offer courses; OnlinePianist only provides songs. However, if you are not interested in learning scales and other music theory through an app, this is the perfect app to use because of its large library of songs and its relatively low price. It also offers some free songs. So if you are concerned about OnlinePianist ’s effectiveness in teaching a song, you can try it for free for as long as you want (or like me, until you want to play the premium songs).

by Kingawesomness

OnlinePianist, in my opinion, is the best piano app out there. Before OnlinePianist, it would take me a month to learn a 30-second song. After I downloaded OnlinePianist, I learned songs twice that length in 3 days. I have learned so many new songs and practice everyday for two reasons, 1) because I want those free songs and 2) because OnlinePianist has inspired me to play everyday. This is one of the few apps that I am considering paying for. I highly recommend OnlinePianist to everyone wanting to learn to play piano.

Question: can you pay by month, or is it just by year? Because if it is by year, I highly recommend you have it so you can pay by month, because people that are willing to pay for it by years will still pay for it every month, but people that can’t use it all year won’t pay for the year, but they might pay for it for one month and that will increase sales a little bit.

Listen please write back I really like this game well not really a game but you know I like OnlinePianist but it doesn’t give much variety it’s mostly kids song and old song and that’s not fun yes you have demos but that’s not enough some people don’t have money to waste on apps or some parent don’t let the kid I get that you want money and some people are buying form you but what about the others what about then I just think that there should have more free songs because I really like piano and I want to get better but that money problem isn’t gonna make me better and let me learn new song other than that I think OnlinePianist is great it give you the notes and help you if your a beginner over all it has lots of song maybe add a little more but it’s great just that little problem get me annoyed so ya please answer I really need to know what you’ll say thank you for writing back but I can’t play three days straight because I am a busy person and I only have one day to practice

I have had OnlinePianist for a few months and have been daily practicing a song. After a recent update, there was a glitch on the finger placement numbers and I emailed customer service to let them know about the problem. Customer service emailed me back the very next day to let me know they would work on an update to fix the problem. The second day they emailed me to let me know they released an update. After I updated OnlinePianist , the glitch was solved! Finger placement numbers returned on my song! Great customer service!
I have wanted to learn an instrument but didn’t have the time or opportunity to go to a music teacher for lessons. OnlinePianist shows you how to play songs in your own home and on your own time! I bought piano note stickers for the keys and a piano book to learn the basics. The stickers and book had me learning the basics but I was not enjoying what I was playing. this app app lets me practice songs I actually enjoy playing! In my opinion, to enjoy playing the piano is the whole point of learning to play the piano.
A big thank you to this app!

I was online trying to learn to play one of my friends favorite songs to cheer her up and came across this apps account. I started to play it and it was helping me a lot but then it said in order to continue, you have to download OnlinePianist ... so I wasn’t going to but I really wanted to learn it. So I got OnlinePianist and it seemed ok at first but then I’m looking for the song I was trying to play and it said I had to play almost 60 DOLLARS?! That is way over priced and in the beginning, it only lets you choose 3 free songs to play, so unless you have a money tree, then I probably wouldn’t spend $60 on OnlinePianist.

by Dhruv1910

Overall OnlinePianist is good and all but the free trial thing I just don’t trust. I don’t understand why you have to add the free trial thing and log into the trial to try it out. That’s why I don’t trust it I feel like you guys would just not notify us and take the money. Just let us play the music for a week without the free trial thing popping up and then a week later show it to us. So many people don’t click on the free trial because they don’t trust it. People have gotten scammed so many times from things like this. Plz fix that it’s a good idea. Show us the free trial thing after a week then people will start trusting it.

by Nikrey06

I do love OnlinePianist and the program online, I upgraded to the premium because I love it so much, however it’s missing one thing that I deem to be very important. When you click on the lesson button and you get ready to play, the song starts with the first chord or note already being played. There is no time whatsoever to prepare your fingers to start the song. One thing I would LOVE to see added is at least one measure counted without the song starting so it gives me and my students a chance to get their fingers ready. Please add this crucial feature if you can!!

by ChaseDaBomb

I’ve been using OnlinePianist for a few months and I’m thinking about weather or not to go pro version. Something that I would really like to happen and I feel would make your app better is if you added more gospel songs. Like NeedToBreathe and ForKingAndCountry. Specifically “Brother” from needtobreathe and joy from forkingandcountry, as oppose to only old church hymns. Just some newer stuff too, Jordan Feliz is very cool too. I would appreciate this very much! Thank you for your time! 😁

by Sheriffjer

I’m a 61-year-old professional and Grandfather Who decided a year ago to learn piano. No lessons, but i learned quite a bit online. OnlinePianist helped me tremendously, it gives you many options so that you are most comfortable learning a song. While you learn the songs, you begin to understand the music theory behind the different keys. Huge help and i love the library. Like to see a few more classics but not complaining.

by TonyJAlvarado

It’s an amazing app! I do not play piano but I have been learning through OnlinePianist, improving my all around skills and muscle memory. Only complaint is that the catalogue categories are very broad. Maybe by genre to break it down more? Also, I’m there’s a lack of classic rap but besides that, I’m in love and I have the yearly subscription. Only way to improve of course is improving the music choices which y’all do regularly. Perhaps add a feature where we can suggest song for y’all to try and add? I thank you for your time!

by Toxic Romm

From a pianist point of view ... I love OnlinePianist so much. Before I had OnlinePianist, I used to take lessons, and they were fun, but after a while I stop doing those lessons and when I went back the same person wasn’t there and it was someone else. My piano instructor was great and helped me understand the fundamentals of piano and helped me play a couple of songs, but when he left I kinda just stopped playing it. So thank you for making such a great app. It’s helped me regain my interest in this again. Thank you

by Myles503

OnlinePianist is great for learning piano I’ve been using it for so many years now and I’ve learned so much about piano and techniques to play my favorite songs. I’ve purchased multiple songs and they are all of excellent quality one of the songs I had them put on OnlinePianist for me is “I want you back” by the Jackson 5, Go give it a listen hear for yourself how great of a job they did on it. The Developers are super kind and helpful. I can’t wait to see what they do next with OnlinePianist!
