Sight Reading Factory - Reviews, Revenue and Downloads - Apple App Store

Description

Sight Reading Factory makes practicing the important skill of sight reading quick, easy, effective and fun! This app composes music instantly and on-demand, providing musicians with a virtually unlimited supply of sight reading material. There are multiple levels of difficulty and the exercises can even be customized exactly to the needs of the musician. Sight Reading Factory is very versatile and can be used by musicians of all ages and abilities including music educators, music students, casual musicians and even professional musicians. Sight reading exercises can be generated for piano, guitar, voice, woodwinds, brass, strings, percussion and even full ensembles.

Teachers and students can also use the built-in classroom management and assignments feature for assessment. Teachers can organize students into classes/groups and create assignments for them. Students complete assignments by generating a sight reading exercise and recording themselves performing the exercise. The assignment can then be submitted back to the teacher to grade and leave feedback.

I

This app is super complicated and over priced

Metronome is useless

I like this app but 3 stars because the metronome is not steady. It hiccups randomly and falls out of time. That shouldn’t pass quality control

Good idea, expensive fail

I purchased the annual subscription, created the account, only to find there is only ONE tempo for practice, 117 bpm. That’s fine if all your music is at that tempo. I would like to learn at differing speeds.

Not so fast!

App is free to download but can’t use it without paying for subscription. Be aware

HATE

you made me cry

Sign-in problems

Choir student here. I decided to get this app to try and learn different voice parts on this(you know, alto, tenor, bass, etc), but I had problems trying to log in and all that. I tried multiple times signing in through my Google account, but it wouldn’t let me do that. On top of that, I didn’t wanna have to have a subscription for this.

Great for sight reading- very difficult after level 4

This app generates different sight reading patterns/ pieces on demand and you can customize a lot of things (number of measures, annotations, key, tempo, etc.) which is great, but… from level 4 to level 5 the difficulty changes drastically and there is no fingering annotations (it’s not a 5 finger position anymore). If I knew how to quickly figure out the fingering as I sight read, I don’t even think I’d be using this app. Either make an extra level between 4/5 that helps with fingering in a non 5 finger piece, pr add the annotations and let the user activate/deactivate as desired. I’ll change my review when/if that ever happens. Before using this app I couldn’t even sight read a level one piece and it helped me tons, but now I am stuck on level 5.

Staff renders too small to be read on 12” iPad

I want to like this app, but the musical staff renders very small, at the extreme top of the screen, on iPad Pro 12”. I was advised by support to zoom in with a pinch gesture, which would probably work, but this is not the experience I was expecting from a paid service.

Can’t login and no trial

App won’t let you log in, after over an hour trying to figure that out made an account on their webpage (not easy to find there either!) and it won’t even give a 7 day trial to test. So you can’t use this app at all unless you want to do serious Google research to create an account and then they require pay upfront- I can’t even log in, why on earth would I commit to an expensive subscription for something that doesn’tappear to work?!? Seems like great concept, I wish it worked

Need an account and can’t make one in app

Unusable.
