I take private lessons for the flute, and wanted to up my game for exams. I hopped into the app and tapped on one of the community posts. I listened to Ave Maria for a bit, and thought that it was really cool that you could share your learning on here! And then I clicked out of it and it kicked me out of the app, which was super annoying, and then I thought, let’s do some practicing! So I tapped on Japanese flute method lesson 1, and it loaded some pieces for me to play. I chose the first one, Lightly Row, and then noticed that I couldn’t play the full song without paying for the premium. I thought, whatever, it’s probably just for this one song. But no. You have to pay for premium to play the full version for EVERY SONG. YOU GET 2 BARS OF MUSIC, AND ONE THAT’S HALF FADED! I’M VERY DISAPPOINTED!!! Please fix this. I also play piano, so I find it annoying that I cannot select 2 instruments. Please make it only premium for select songs, like very popular pop or rock songs, not ALL OF THEM! What if there’s a 3 year old violinist who wants to play full songs? This is truly unacceptable. Please fix all of this!

The app design is very smooth 👏 and I was surprised that there are actual known songs, though I’d like to see more. This app is supposed to help me stay on beat right? I don’t think it did, it just messed me up. A lot of the songs I tried I know by heart and the audios matched, but when I tried to sing with the tempo and following the notes, it didn’t come out right. I’m not a professional (you can probably tell by my lack of musical terms) but this was much harder than when I sing with a real accompanist. Also, I don’t understand what notes I’m even supposed to be singing with this? It has all the notes but the person singing stops at certain points. Then when I recorded myself and listened back, the accompaniment was way louder than my voice. And adjusting the solo - accompaniment audio (to the solo side) just made the accompaniment sound very distorted and even louder. I only had the free version but I think the free version experience should be good enough to make me want to buy the subscription. The sessions cut out at very awkward spots. Mid word. or sometimes the singing parts start near the end of the session then I sing for 1 second lol. Anyway, it has potential but yeah there’s a lot of things that just made me say “okay im done”. And an IDEA maybe you could allow the user to scan their own sheet music and the it just plays piano or something in the background so I can practice the pieces I actually need to be practicing. Well, thanks for reading my super confusing review. <3

Downloaded it for a bit and it looks like it is a great app to practice! If you fall into the main category that the app falls to. Most pieces are classical, which is fine, unless you fall into a nonclassical instrument. Plus some people don’t want to really play classical. For example I downloaded this app and as a Sax player in my school’s jazz band, I want to play some jazz. Unfortunately I couldn’t find one single piece like that. This app has a whole lot of potential that I hope they expand on eventually. Imagine if they could have lessons for your instrument with it. They could have little classes where they could teach improv for example. Great app, Just aint for me.
