Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Reviewers had a great experience with this company. Customers praise the platform as an ideal and easy way to learn piano, especially for adults and beginners, appreciating the clear, helpful lessons and the ability to learn at their own pace. Many highlight features like separate hand practice, wait mode, and video above sheet music as particularly useful. The extensive and varied song library, along with the clean, instructive interface, contributes to a fun and inspiring learning experience for many. However, some people were dissatisfied with the app's recognition of notes, occasionally freezing or not registering correct keys. There were also mentions of the song library feeling stale, with a desire for more popular, recent, or specific genres of music, and some songs disappearing. A few customers found the subscription price to be expensive, questioning its value and expressing concerns about limited functionality or issues with family sharing and accessing subscribed content.

Lacking in one important aspect

One of the most important aspect of learning a musical piece is when to prepare for the next finger positionning for the next notes on both hands. This makes learning essential. This should be included in the intermediate and advanced sections.

Thank you so much for your interesting and thoughtful feedback!
We completely understand how important proper finger positioning and preparation are when learning a musical piece: it’s truly one of the key elements in developing smooth technique and musical flow.

At the same time, we’re also aware that different hand sizes and playing styles can require slightly different fingerings. That’s why, for now, our videos provide a more general orientation to help guide learners without limiting them to a specific approach.

That said, we absolutely recognize the value of having fingering suggestions, and we’re already discussing exciting new features that will move in this direction in the future.
Thank you again for sharing your insights!

Ideal piano course for adults

Ideal piano course for adults - I appreciate features such as separate hand practice, wait mode and video above sheet music, indicating notes to be played. The range of songs is fab. As an adult who’s been learning for just over a year, I find the Beginner and Intermediate levels just right. I found a previous, other app a tad childish and appreciate the adult look and feel of the Flowkey app.

Better than Simply Piano

I had a simply piano subscription for a year and that provided a really good base. But flowkey has much more to offer for intermediate learners. I found sp very bossy in telling you which finger to use for which note! Flowkey just leaves you to it, but the watch along video of a grown up means you can copy them if you keep getting tangled.

Any chance of getting some Lewis Capaldi tunes?

I love the features…

I love the features of practicing sections at a time and one hand or both, and also the slow or wait features!😁👍🏻 Sometimes the app doesn’t hear the sound or hear it correctly. That’s the only drawback.

There is a question I have: Do you have Flowkey for harmonica or flute or violin? It would help since I am learning harmonica now as well!😁👍🏻

I am a returning beginner at age 74

I am a returning beginner at age 74. The Beginner and Intermediate lessons have boosted my confidence and refreshed my skills. The guided songs and exercises are very helpful as they provide immediate feedback and reinforcement, and break the song down into component parts. I feel a sense of mastery when I complete
a song. Thank you for these thoughtfully constructed lessons. Flowkey is much more patient than my long-ago IRL teacher!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us. We completely understand how valuable it is to have more easy-level songs, especially when they’re popular.

We’re always working on expanding our library and regularly add new songs. We hope that in the coming months, you’ll find more songs in our app that you enjoy.

No experience and quick learner.

I installed flowkey in July to begin my journey on how to play the piano. I had no experience and I am 45 years old. As of today, two months later, I'm working through module four and have learned so much from flowkey application. I have installed on my ipad and just yesterday, I installed on my android phone so when I travel, I can still practice piano. This is a lot of fun!

Very motivating tool

Very motivating tool. Nice songs. Unfortunately not all pieces show the fingering and the articulation of the songs. The key recognition works quite well, but in case of accords the system does not always recognize the played keys. I hope the developers continue to develop the app.

I wouldnt have gotten this far without.

I love this app. I basically learned piano from scratch with it and after only two years I play most intermediate or even some expert songs.
I need to connect the tablet to the audio output of the ePiano though.
Without, e.g. with a real piano, it doesnt always get the notes, especially accords.
It could have some more contemporary, modern songs, thats why I only rate it with 4 stars.

Not enough songs/music. The program quite often does not gecognize the sound, though the sound played properly.

Great way to learn the piano, but...

Great way to learn the piano. My only gripe is that for the subscription money I would expect a much bigger catalogue of songs. There are some really good ones, but not as big a choice as I'd like to see. And some of the songs I would really like to learn are just snippets of the song, such as 'imagine'. Why isn't the full song on there? And 'forever young', why is there only a basic version?
