| 2024-10-31 |  | | Has great potential but missed notes on my Roland FP30; even with a duster underneathas per helpfile. Would be really useful to have a continuous mode until I realised that setting a custom lesson allows you to set repeats. Maybe put the price UP and budget for a little more development. There is no obvious competition and a Windows version is something I'd pay a premium for. Oh and no need for all the background options. Space, holidays etc. Still the only app that interacts with an instrument. |
| 2024-08-11 |  | | App is very helpful, easy to use, and nearly perfect. It would be helpful if there was some way to reset the progress. Or if there were multiple user profiles, so that each of my kids could progress separately and have their high scores separate as well. |
| 2024-07-09 |  | | Works pretty well for learning notes. However, it doesn't pick up some notes immediately, so even though you're hitting the right note, it doesn't register, which is extremely frustrating. |
| 2024-06-12 |  | | My child and I really enjoy this app! I've seen significant improvement with her in just the last few days. She loves the silly screens and it helps her to want to practice. I love that I can customize which notes we'll practice. One draw back is that there isn't an "infinity" option or any amount of time. You run through the notes one time. I wish I could do something like set it for 5 minutes. Playing through the notes just ones is a bit fiddly and distracts from the actual practicing. |
| 2024-04-10 |  | | There needs to be an option to show the note names immediately/always. This would make it far better and easier to sync into your brain. Because of this I have developed a need to count the notes. I know C, so this next note is 3 notes up from C. Instead of just memorizing it as F you have to develop this crutch. The hints even force you do so, telling you the note is above C but also 2 notes below F. Never shows A, B, D or E...+Needs an endless mode for each section. |
| 2024-04-03 |  | | Pretty good, but I gotta echo other people's sentiments: this game needs a few different challenge modes, particularly an endless challenge mode. The app has a lot of potential and I expected that mode to be there for a $9 app. |
| 2024-03-29 |  | | Simple app that stops short of its potential. Pros: picks up the sound well enough, can use an acoustic piano, game like (if you're a kid) Cons: game like (if you're an adult), game resets after you've hit every not once. You have to reset every 15-30 seconds depending on how fast you are at the "game". Really needs more modes for better training... such as infinite practice. Or a game type where you go as long as you can without a mistake. Has it helped me... yes. Would I buy again? Unlikely |
| 2023-10-05 |  | | One of my go-to apps as a piano teacher! Students enjoy it and are always delighted by the seasonal themes. I love the simplicity of the app. It's not trying to do too many things at once. The pre-defined levels cover 99% of what I need, and for those instances when I need a student to review just the notes they're struggling with, It's super easy to whip up a custom level on the fly. Thank you! |
| 2022-12-27 |  | | Using a Yamaha digital keyboard in a quiet room but sometimes Note Rush skips notes. Also, when I use the Open feature to get a saved Level Card, the list is always sorted by the Modified date - the app does not remember that I have set the sort to File name (A to Z). Please fix. |
| 2022-11-15 |  | | Consistent bug of not detecting the right note. Will pick up every wrong note, including one above and one below, save for the right one. Makes app pretty unusable, which is a shame |
