Dude... this game is unplayable unless you buy the subscription because you get an ad after every few notes. EVERY FEW NOTES!? I could understand an ad after 1 song, but this is pathetic. If the app was good I probably would have gotten the subscription but I can't even play it so how do I know if I'd want a subscription!? Maybe something to think about unless your app is just doing amazing and I'm the only person this is frustrating to. If that is the case then bravo..lol
Reviews for Piano - music & songs games
← Back to Piano - music & songs gamesCould be a great, 5-star app but like others have said, can't get through the first 2 songs without ad bombardment, and the no-ad version is $8.35 (tax all-in) per week!? Someone has grossly overestimated what a consumer finds "value" in. It has a better chance of proliferation and generating the most total revenue if it was in the $4.99 - $6.99 per month range. No one is going to pay $400+ annually for a piano game on 6-7" wide mobile phone.
Ads, ads, ads...constantly. You can never really enjoy the game because you play for 15 seconds and then watch a minute long ad. OR you can pay $7.99 a WEEK... if it was a one-time payment I could understand, but that is almost $32 a MONTH for a game...ABSOLUTE RIP-OFF!!! And after reading the other reviews further back this is an ongoing issue and they do not seem intent on fixing it, no matter what they say in response to a review.
I literally had this app downloaded for about 5 minutes and I uninstalled it. This game (if you can call it that) is unplayable. as soon as I copy 4 notes I was just taught, a new ad plays. How are the ads as long as the slivers of play time? This is egregious and obviously meant to push the user to purchase the "full" version. But the thing is, you literally can't even get a feel for the game to see if you would even WANT to buy it. Whoever's in charge of this app is doing this wrong.
Love the concept. Cannot handle playing 5 notes and then a 10-30 second ad. I understand you can pay to not have ads and that ads make money to run and develop the app, however, I am not even getting the opportunity to see if I like it enough to pay for it. It took 3 or 4 ads to make it through the first line of the happy birthday song. That is absolutely ridiculous. I had the app installed roughly 15 minutes and I'm already deleting because I've spent more time watching ads than trying the game
Absolutely awful. It looks great and sounds great. When you first install, you get a 3 day free trial. You get to choose a song to go in and follow along to or as a memory type option. Cool! But the problem is that u get to play 5 notes and then watch an ad IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NOTES! So you get 5-10 seconds of piano time and then ad. I thought it was a glitch or something but it happened EVERY SINGLE TIME. It would take HOURS to get thru 1 song. Don't waste your time or money!
The app itself isn't bad when you get to play it. The ads are absolutely terrible. They break up a song into several parts that are only 10 seconds long at most and they place an ad in-between each part. The ads are often longer than the part you play. Once you've completed the parts and unlock the full song to play, you have to wait for a ridiculously long ad. I had one that was over 4 minutes in length with no ability to skip. All to play little teapot. Not worth it. 1 star as a result.
Too many ads and too expensive to pay for! Uninstalling! Also, if a person really wants to learn to play the piano, memorization of the keys for the notes that fall downtrend screen and rhythm is all you will get. There isn't any explanation of the notes or scales. If I learned a song on this game and tried to play on a real piano, I couldn't. This is similar to Guitar Hero. You don't really learn to play anything. It's all hand-eye coordination with no learning involved.
Obscene amount of ads. In the learning mode you get to play 3 to 4 notes at a time before being interrupted by an ad. Would be more tolerable if it was only before you started and when you finished, but you can't go like 30 seconds in this app without hitting an ad. $8/week is also insanely high pricing. For perspective, that's over $400 a year. You could buy a decent piano keyboard for that. You can buy lifetime subs on other piano apps for less than half that. Don't waste your time or money.
Not liking it so far, I usually hate games that force you to rate it early on top of that. The ads are horrendous, and the songs are incomplete and too short. 6 ads per each 30-second music clip or something close to it. The paid version might be better but not will to test that theory based on what I've seen so far. I'm definitely going to try similar apps after finding this one, tho. great idea, terrible execution
Don't waste your time! I just dowoaded and played less than 10 seconds to play a dozen notes and immediately had a minute long ad I couldn't skip. Second song, 4 notes in and another unskippable, long ad, 6 more notes and song is finished already? Oh! Another long ad! Total play time, maybe 20 seconds, but 4 minutes of ads. The bot army game this game great reviews to trick you into downloading.
I love the concept but the free user experience is awful. You play for a couple seconds and then advertisement break. Play a couple more, advertisement. Over and over every single break. Like I don't mind seeing ads within reason but wow that's so incredibly excessive. I've never seen anything push ads like this. It's not an incentive to pay, it reflects just how far you're willing to go, outright ruining the users experience, just to generate like 13 cents. Over step off the rip won't get a tip
ads ads ads. before I could even play the song I chose I was hit with a 30 second ad. after I watched that I could finally play the first segment but I failed so I clicked restart just for there to be the same ad again. so many ads for a mediocre game. I dont care for the corporate justification or being told to pay for the service in a response from the app makers. an app should be fully usable without ads. maybe add a system where we have to wait for more tries like the app score hero
Not an app, it's a vehicle to make you watch ads. When using f2p mode to test it out I was forced to watch an ad every 15 seconds. I am not exaggerating. Levels only last 10 to 15 seconds and you get an ad every time. Several times I got 2 ads on a single level. No one would ever think this was acceptable. Review responces have been copy paste for the last few months, often not even addressing the complaint. Obviously they don't care anymore, if they ever did. Zero value. Avoid at all costs.
I love the game, but most of the ads can't be closed! I don't mind ads, usually; they are kind of a "necessary evil" for free games, the money has to come from somewhere, you know? Most of the ads in this game, though, are missing the X to close the ads, and I have to close the game to exit them. At first, I thought the ads were just long, but no, 3 minutes in I figured out the ads themselves aren't in landscape like the game, the X is 'offscreen. ' It ruins the gameplay.
WAY too many ads in the free mode. if you want to learn a song you will play for 6 seconds, then a 20 second ad, repeat for each section. You can get rid of the ads for $7.99 a week, but in the 10 minutes I used this app, I was hit with over 25 ads. I have enough Google Reward money to cover a month of free play, but these guys don't deserve it.
Look, I'm usually very graceful on ads and I understand that you need the money but the amount of ads in this app is insane. I could complete about 15 seconds of playing and I get an add. It's very distracting. With that said, it's a very fun game and as a pianist I think it could be useful to learn piano. If you use this app, you should learn your key names first. But I'd honestly rather go back to the good old keyboard and book than do this.
Terrible business model. The app exists to sell you a $3.99 per week subscription. There is a "free" mode. But in the free mode an ad pops up literally every 3 or 4 notes. Completely unreasonable. I wouldn't mind if I had to watch an ad before or after I played a song. But every 3 or 4 notes??? Obviously the developers intent is to annoy you into subscribing to their over priced plan. They annoyed me into Uninstalling their app. You can get an entire piano course on Udemy for $10.
I thought it would be a cool app but it's not. I couldn't figure out if I was just bad at the piano (I'm not) or if it was the app. I realized It glitches and the notes jump up as you hit the keys making you miss or be early even though you hit the keys when you're supposed to. Maybe it just needs to be reworked and the glitches fixed. I'm about ready to just stopping downloading apps all together, they aren't as fun anymore with all ads we're forced to watch just to use them, It's Ridiculous.
Ads are too frequent! I get ads what feels like every 20 seconds, and each ad is longer than the time spent playing! It's not worth it to play the free version, and it feels like I'm forced to buy a subscription I can't afford. Someone else commented about ads and got a response of "we need the ads to support our game, the subscription may interest you." No, the $32 per month subscription does not interest me, and the amount of ads is ridiculous. I'd rather delete the game.
