Piano Companion Reviews

Good app if bugs were fixed

251s on

United States

Great app, good tool for learning chords. One annoying bug is that occasionally when I’m the piano progression section the app will immediately send you back to the Home Screen of the app over and over again until you restart the app only for the problem to happen again. Makes it almost unusable at times but when the app works it’s great

App needs work for basic functionality

Murphy (Robocop) on

United States

The content of this app is great, it’s basically a chord and scale encyclopedia. Excellent reference tool. But it is so buggy that it’s virtually unusable. In the scales / chord dictionary sections, about 65% of the time there is no sound when you click the scale. You can open the scale and click individual notes which produces sound, but not from the main scale or chord dictionary pages. I have to keep hard closing the app over and over again until it decided to boot up with volume. I’ve run into similar issues in the chord progression section, where instead of playing back the chord, it’s just a single note.. (and I’m familiar with the chord / arpeggio settings in chord progression, not a settings issue)… This also can only be resolved (IF it decides to resolve) by hard exiting the app and reopening. Sometimes one reboot will get it to work and sometimes I reset the app 10 times and still can’t get any sound out of it, then all of a sudden it works. It’s a great idea for an app, but there are also a million apps that do the same thing as this one. Piano Chords and Scales is the exact same app (the original) but much better functionality

Every scale and chord imaginable

Drummerkat on

United States

The title says it all. This app shows countless chords and scales, what fingers to use, the whole or half steps you need, accompanying chords to use (plus a chart for those chords without having to look them up)….just everything. It’s very educational as well. It is easy to use and find what you need. Just a perfect companion for piano players.

Worth it

Proff2008 on

There’s always a steep learning curve with any new software but this one was worth it.

Crashes

Good work

This is well organized and color coated and I’m thankful for detailed visual resources like this. Good job to the team that created this and continues to support it.

piano pitch is slightly off

just realized it such a bummer

Great Piano App

AJ-MKE on

United States

This app has been a great help for me as I learn the piano - both as I learn existing songs and as I compose my own. I’ve tried all the other apps (including the prettier ones) but Piano Companion is head and shoulders above imo. The chord progression builder is perfect. I love that you can add chord inversions, but equally impressive is that the app automatically applies chord inversions when it makes sense for the progression (from a voice leading perspective). This was completely unexpected and is an amazing feature. Some of the other apps don’t support inversions at all which is strange since even as a beginner it seems like a foundation of playing songs to accompany singers, etc. I wish this app was under active development . There’s a few features I’d like but overall this is my go-to composition and learning tool for chords and scales.

Good, but...

This app It very useful and easy to understand, but the chord progressions crash. And I also could not play them while my screen is off, both android and ios.
