This application possesses no distractions. I am learning how to play the piano. This application permits restriction to my limited knowledge with configuration options for expansion as I progress. The fee is low for such a vastly useful application.
Just great

This is one of the best gifts I received from this year's birthday. I owned this cool app as a birthday gift from my JUILLIARD CUZ. It is so cool and so neat. Just a few days, I believe I have improved a lot. Even my piano tutor was amazed and suggested me to use it as the extra exercise to improve my sight reading skill, lol... Thanx CUZ, U always have the best taste.
it is neat and accurate

I like this app in terms of its accuracy and versatility. The grand staff combined with key signatures almost can simulate any possible note you want to practice. But it can be improved in the aspect of ear training. I wish it can give the option to disable the challenging note display on the grand staff so that I can really use my ear to find the right key. Overall, it is pretty neat and useful if you are serious with learning piano music on iphone.
extraordinary and brilliant, except...

I hesitated first due to the price but I think it worth to spend that money after I played several rounds. This app has met my expectations and I am very impressed by the intelligent feature on accidentals which I didn't find on any other similar apps. No regret for me. Except my 5 yrs old daughter is not very fond of it because she doesn't like black and white. Maybe the next version shall include a feature to change the background color with pink,lol...
a good app

As an amateur musician, I love to collect all kinds of music related apps. This one is the REAL DEAL and way above the rest. Very professional in the aspect of piano music note simulation. And it is truly useful for me on piano sight reading speed and accuracy. I would highly recommend it to my close friends and students.
i gave my vote to this fine piece

Just like some of the previous reviews described, it is a very helpful and well designed fine application which can benefit many piano students. I owned this app for a couple of weeks and I still like to play with it every day.

This app is great! I love that it has the grand staff (and you can limit to treble or bass by setting note range) and full 88 keys so it trains key placement along with sight reading. Also all accidentals, and statistical tracking of your results :) Some improvements I would like to see: give users the option to practice notes from random key signatures, with the range of keys to use being selectable by the user (like keys with +/- 3 sharps/flats, or even sharps only, or flats only). Improve the icon. Also FYI, it appears to not show up in the app store (on phone) when only searched for "sight read music", luckily I decided to search for "grand staff" and that's when I found this app :) maybe update your search terms somehow? Overall great app, 5 stars Update: appears that the app is showing sharp/flats even though they are not selected in options, would like to see that fixed :)
