Best music reading app, but I have lots of good suggestions for more improvement! – Piano Sight Reading Review

The improvement I want to see most, from this or any other sight reading app: please make it show more than one note at a time, in a phrase that makes musical sense! And please also include chords to play! If you're like me, it's not that hard to pick out isolated notes, one by one (C! G#!). But what is hard is playing a series of notes (or a musical phrase) in the bass clef, or picking out a chord on the bass clef. You could just make it so that if a chords is shown where the notes should be struck at the same time, the player should just arpeggiate the chord (play one note at a time). 1. For me, it's a waste of time to switch octaves on the keyboard. I'd like an option for it to disregard the octave and just say if you got the note right. 2. I'd prefer the "zoomed in" keyboard to have 2 octaves displayed instead of just one. So if it gives you a descending series of notes like C-B-A you can descend from C instead of having to switch to an octave lower and leap up to B. 3. When you strike the note on the keyboard, it should play the note you just hit, and show the note you played on the staff next to the "quiz note" - in green if correct, or red if incorrect. I don't have perfect pitch, but it's still really disorienting to play one note on the keyboard and hear a different one sound, because it has automatically advanced to the next one. 4. You should be able to choose the range of notes on a staff or on the full keyboard. With just the sliders, you have to keep jiggering with it to get the range you want. 5. There should be an option for it to switch key signatures randomly instead of practicing an entire round in the same key.
