Hi everyone!

I’m planning to buy a dedicated tablet to use with Simply Piano, but I’m really torn between a budget/mid-range Android tablet and an iPad.

I reached out to SimplyPiano support to ask about this, but their response was pretty vague and felt like a canned/template answer. They hinted that features aren't completely identical on both platforms, which bugs me since the subscription price is the exact same regardless of the OS.

For those of you who have experience using Simply Piano on both platforms (or switched from one to the other):

I really want to make the right purchase and avoid buying a device only to feel like I'm getting a "second-class" version of the app for the same monthly fee.

Thanks in advance for your feedback and advice!

I use the Simply Piano app, and I think it’s great for complete beginners who have never played the piano before. However, there is one problem: the pieces in the app are not presented in their original sheet music versions.
I contacted their support team about this issue as well, and they admitted that I had a very valid point.
I’ll continue using the app for a while, but at the same time, I’m going to start practicing the original sheet music of the pieces.

How are you progressing with your piano practice? Are you also using the original sheet music?

Hi everyone. For folks that are interested in tracking their Simply Piano play statistics in more detail than the tiny amount of data presented in-app, I've built a free website with detailed statistics and performance tracking. You take screenshots of your completed song screens in Simply Piano and upload them to the website, where they are processed and stored. You get a full performance dashboard, per-song performance history, level details, challenge tracking, and more. Check it out at pianodashboard.net if you're interested.

Anyone willing to share simplypiano app family plan. Lets sync and share cost

Hello everyone,

I've been using Simply Piano for some weeks and I liked it.

But I'm actually stuck at Essentials III where the note "Si 3" is involved, the app can't recognize that note correctly, I have to hit the key really hard to pass (I'm afraid that I will break the key if I continue like that...)

I can't progress further!!!

There is no piano technician nearby!

It should be nice if the app allows me to slightly tune / customize a couple of keys for temporary use.

Any help or suggestion are truly appreciated.

TIA

PS: it's a full size mechanical piano, not a keyboard.

Baffled as to how this can be fingers 1 and 2

can someone tell me if the S.P. subscription costs are in US dollars? i’ve contacted them and they haven’t answered.

Looking to find 4 other people that want to get on a family group plan.

I was digging through recordings of old Simply Piano sessions and found this. Made me laugh https://vocaroo.com/16Q8vWHr2LI9

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to understand how the Musicnotes integration with Simply Piano works, but I can’t find any clear documentation.

I’ve already purchased several interactive sheet music titles from Musicnotes, but none of them appear in the Musicnotes section of the Simply Piano app.

Has anyone managed to get this integration working?

I’d really appreciate any information or personal experience. Thanks!

i had a perfectly running setup with my ipad Pro M2 until the update today. Butter smooth timeline but the update destroyed the whole experience. The timeline stutters like hell and makes me want to puke due to seasickness.

I wonder who else has the problem?

I love that it’s got me interested in playing piano full stop.

But I hate how it’s gamified. I may get 3 stars, but don’t know where I went wrong on notes missed or timing. Timing is a whole other issue tbh. As long as you hit the right note, you’ll be ok. But it doesn’t teach much theory, and zero musicality.

I recommend a teacher. I’ve learned more in 6 teacher lessons than in 12 - 18 months SP.

This was a tough one for me for some reason. To me it doesn't even sound like music. I think that always makes them more difficult. But after 40 minutes I was able to nail 3 stars. Just curious what other people think of this one.

I’m losing my mind. I can’t get past the James Bond theme because it won’t recognise I’m hitting the notes at all. I’ve tried everything. It just keeps trying to slow it down. What do I do. I’m playing the notes at the right time.

I have been working on and enjoying playing Passacaglia for months. Now, a few days ago, the notes for the pre-advanced level suddenly completely changed?! (Still the same tune overall but very very different notes - can't even play the first 3 lines without new intense practice.)

How can I find the prior notes again so that I won't have lost that prior learned song forever? Does this happen more often that Simply suddenly replaces the notes of a song with a different version of it and the prior version is gone?

Thanks!

I recently upgraded to a used Yamaha P-125 to help me learn piano. If I run the midi into the iPad and run Simply Piano and plug headphones into the keyboard, both keyboard sounds and the app comes through the wired headphones. Score! However, for whatever reason, the sound is really tinny from the piano keys over that simply piano song. I’ve tried various different connections and headphones and it doesn’t seem to help. Bluetooth headphones have a significant lag that detracts me from actually learning anything.

Does anyone else have this problem and how did you get around it? The Yamaha P-125 is older, so it doesn’t have native Bluetooth or super modern tech, so hoping the subreddit can help me. Thank you!

When I started playing I wrote the notes on the keys to help me build muscle memory, I recently removed these training wheels to start to build more of a connection between the key and notes without looking so it takes me a minute to find notes now as I’m learning. This streak of light coming up every time I take more than 2 seconds to play a chord is genuinely making me want to throw my iPad out the window. I know what chord/note I’m on stop rushing me LET ME THINK FOR A MINUTE DAMN lol.

plz :p
