Pianist Pro

I have used this app for many years. I am a vocalist and although the app has had more capabilities than I need I enjoy using it. I can play scales, play in more than one octave, and play in different patches. I have always appreciated being able to use this app!

THIS APP DOSENT LET YOU IMPORT UR OWN MUSIC AND IS A WASTE OF UR MONEY I HATE IT I WANT TO DO TAYLOR SWIFT AND ALL THEY HAVE IS FIR ELISE I HATE THIS APP THE KEYS DONT TUNE AND I HATE IT DONT BUY IT!

Update! please

Frankly, this review would be a lot harsher if I'd wanted this virtual piano to sound decent and be vaguely like playing an actual piano. Unintuitive to the point of being poorly designed UX aside, the sample playback engine is remarkably poor. Even using an 88 key digital piano as a controller keyboard, it is almost impossible to get a decent performance out of this. The samples don't respond to sustain and key velocity in any sensible way, forget about aftertouch or ghost notes. It plays like a handful of single-velocity samples with poorly executed ASDR envelops, and no round-robin switching between sustain and held notes. It's like banging on a mediocre sounding upright with a hammer for all of the nuance you can get from it. In the end however, what I needed was an app that would record MIDI while I sketched out songs, and then send MIDI out back into my DAW later in. And alas, GarageBand doesn't do MIDI out. This is actually a decent MIDI recorder. So I use an external metronome and the audio of my Casio digi piano, and it works well enough in that regard. But unless you are using this app in this one specific way, just buy GarageBand, whose sampled pianos shine a harsh light on this app by some measure.

I loved this app because of its sound quality until I realized that it does understand that a key that is pressed down doesn't play again till you take your finger off it. It just double plays when you change fingering. Their support tells me this is not a bug and I should use a midi keyboard instead. Fortunately some of the other piano apps do it right - even the free ones.

Good luck figuring out how to connect the MIDI wireless, the settings don’t appear as described! And you keep having to reconnect when you do get it to work. But you won’t get that far - because the keys freeze and the pitch just starts squealing! And there is NO support! “Report a problem” goes to a deadend at their website, with no contact info besides an unused Forum. Looks like a wonderfully designed app - if it worked!! But they aren’t there to stand behind their app, don’t waste your $$!

Fantastic app- you can play a wonderful piano, organ ..... But the big thing for me is that I am using the keyboard as a midi controller for GarageBand. From the rather small number of reviews, I'd say this app is flying below the radar - just buy it!

I love this app!

It really does put the other piano apps to shame! DEEPLY RECOMMENDED!! BUY IT if you're in to piano playing while on the road or voicing out ideas for composing!!! Or if you want to goof off!! You will not regret it!! ☺️☺️

In addition to being playable as a keyboard (keys are the right size) this is a great keyboard for notation and sequencing. I used it with a Mac Air, and the response is immediate.
