flowkey: Learn piano

The app works well enough but the lessons are pretty underwhelming. less than two weeks of using this app and I'm almost through all of them. and the lessons they classify as intermediate still feel very beginner-ish to me. also when you play along with the songs, the app doesn't always hear the note, so even if you play it correctly the app doesn't always recognize that.

it's a good teaching app but not really for beginners. full songs are locked behind advanced and pro versions. for example if I want to play the full Happy Birthday song, the only option is to choose pro and know how to do arpeggios with your left hand and advance chords with your right. why can I not just learn an easy full version of Happy Birthday? and it's like this for every song. for this reason I had to change apps because you simply can't learn a song here unless you're a pro.

The music selection is not the best, especially for the cost. Also, it doesn't consistently pick up the notes reguardless of device or mic. But my real issue was with the premium content being suddenly blocked. We ended up cancelling but they charged us again after the year subscription ended. We emailed and received no response, so we ended up having to chargeback through the credit card. I find some of the free options are better than Flowkey. My opinion, don't waste your time or money.

I didn't subscribe after the trial because the app constantly reminds you that you didn't finish the entire lesson and encourages you to go back and redo sections. For someone getting back up to speed after a break, this is so annoying. I really need to be able to move forward at my own pace and not be constantly prompted to finish something that is too easy or already understood. I suggest the devs add an option to skip or mark something done manually.

The arrangements/ selections are great. The learning tool is useful. However, it won't allow you to view more than a few bars at once-Not multiple lines and def not the whole sheet. I can't learn this way. I can't progress. I'm paying a LOT of money to not get to view the actual sheet music! Ideally, I can print it out and use flowkey as a tool to learn it. I wrote to them when I first subscribed but there's been no change. IMO only beginners are giving 5. I can do better on YouTube
