Piano Marvel - Lessons & Music

I’ve been using piano Marvel app for more than a year already and I really love it. It helped me a lot to progress in my piano studying. However, I am very disappointed with Master Series which I’ve recently purchased. It is advertised as “pro level” advice and training but in reality it offers very newbie things like “studying notes, basic rhythms and scales”. For me it turned out to be completely useless which is a shame given a hefty price tag. Very bad customer experience

One of the most useful applications. But a new version is strongly needed...

I like it😇 But it’s expansive 🤨😞☹️😔😣🥺

Updated review They just introduced customizable practices where the user can pick exactly which notes to practice in a piece - it THE BEST new feature they’ve added in the two years I’ve been a member! And it seems they’ve added some vocals to the accompanying track in some pieces, which is a less important, but nice touch. Well done! There are still a few annoyances I have with the program: the practice mode bar line jumps to the note that hasn’t been played, which can be confusing in terms of timing when the player is still supposed to be playing the current note - There should be an option to have the current note lit up only.

The app does not work using the microphone of the iPad, it needs a midi connection. Quite deceiving. The app navigation is confusing and the “self-assessed” tests are quite pointless when not using a midi keyboard. I tried and uninstalled within an hour. 2023 disserves better solutions.

This review is for ios which lacks some features when compared to the PC version. The Good: - Great feedback while practicing to get a sense of where you made mistakes and how to improve. - Great curriculum for learning technique, method, songs and to practice sightreading. - Music is presented closer to the real thing compared to other scrolling music software that doesn't help you to learn how to play an actual piece of music from sheets of paper. - Metronome built in. - Breaks songs up into small pieces you can practice individually. The Bad: - No loop functionality to continuously practice a tricky part. - Cannot select smaller section of a piece to practice in isolation on ios like you can on PC. - Too much animation and effects that just take up time and break the flow of practice. - No support for controlling the app via the piano keys. One has to constantly fiddle with the touch screen. With 88 keys at my fingertips, some shortcuts for start, stop, next, back etc. would be nice. How about using one of the lesser used pedals, or far right key, or some demented chord to switch between play mode and a navigate mode? - Slow response time for most interactions. It doesn't feel snappy or fluid like native application. It's as if every interaction has to go over the internet instead of using local resources. - All the above contributes to make the practice session feel like you are spending more time on your iPad than on your piano. Overall, it is a good piano app, my favorite so far, but it could be great.

Hi - with the new player controls, we can’t see tempo, completion rates and scroll through measures in a clear way. This degrades the experience and makes it harder that it used to be. Otherwise 5 star app and hopefully will be able to update my review soon

Hard to practice piano without a metronome sound. iOS app connects to my Roland piano no problem, but there's no metronome sound. I only hear my piano. What good is that??

I have tried a few other platforms to learn piano, none of them actually show you how to read music or understand music theory, you just learn to recognize patterns. if you want to have perfection in the way you learn I would highly recommend getting this app it is simply amazing.

It’s so hard why do they say it’s for 4+?!?!
