PopuMusic - PopuPiano/tar/lele

Update-App updates have fixed the problem I was having. Everything works as it should and the kid loves it. 😃 So after months of set backs I finally received my popupiano. Hardware is great, but this app? I don’t exactly know what is the deal, but there is no sound. Zero sound at all, nothing in the intro video or the videos. Absolutely nothing. Sound comes through my iPad fine in garage band while using the piano, but nothing with the app. The app works through my air pods fine. Here’s the problem though. I bought this for my two year old and he is not going to keep air pods in. So unless there is a way to make it play sound through the iPad speakers this piano is completely useless for him. So is this intentional?

I agree with others that the jump from “easy” to “medium” is vast. Also, many songs don’t have audio for the “notation” option. Recently, the app isn’t saving my progress and making me repeat lessons in the course before going on. I really hope this improves greatly before too long. I love the Populele but it’s not as usable without a good app to teach me.

I received my Populele 2 Pro. The instrument looks nice and appears well-built. Unfortunately, it plays like a much cheaper instrument but is fine for an instrument to learn on. But here’s where the problems arise. The Populele app is wretched and quite literally unusable. The app is incapable of hearing my strumming and so I can’t even get through the basic lessons. Lesson downloads are incredibly slow, if you stop a lesson while it’s playing it continues playing in the background requiring you to “force quit” the app. Every time the app launches you have to reconnect the Populele manually. It’s not even fair to discuss the limited song availability when not a single song downloads. I’ve tried about thirty songs all of which fail to download. I tried on WiFi, on Cell, everything I can think of. Please tell me a significant app update is coming because as is, the promises of Populele 2 are completely unmet. I am left with a foul sounding instrument that also lights up and a non-functional and ugly app that looks like a spawned bastard of Windows Vista.
