1. 5/5Excellent learning app

   This is a really nice, thoughtfully designed app. The structured lessons give great guidance, but you aren’t locked into or out of any material. What I really like is the number and variety of technique exercises which are included; there are lessons on hand independence, a variety of scales, finger agility and articulation. The song selection is nice, and well-categorized by skill level, but IMO it’s the exercises which really set Skoove apart from other apps in this niche. The lesson plan uses simplified versions of songs to introduce music theory concepts. More focused practice on those concepts can usually be found in the technique exercises. The lesson structure also gives you guidance on HOW to learn that will last beyond the app; practice each hand separately, then put them together, then slowly build your speed. It builds good habits without being pushy about it. I went through the free trial period of a couple other apps, and have used a method book, but switched to Skoove. I started out with the three-month membership, but recently upgraded to a year subscription; IMO, this app is worth paying money for. I’ve put roughly 150–200 hours of practice in with this app, and still haven’t reached the end of the content; there are whole courses I haven’t touched yet. Recommended!

2. 5/5THEY MAKE YOU PAY FOR A REASON (please read 🤗)

   I am writing this review to hopefully help people understand that they are making you pay because they need money. I’ve been seeing reviews about people mad about having to pay. I get you don’t want to pay but like don’t pay if you don’t want to pay just get on some thing else and hopefully I hope you find what you want, I think that this app is really great and I’m really grateful to have an app that can teach me how to play it would be cool I didn’t even have you pay but it is completely understandable and I’m just writing to say please stop giving them bad reviews about having to pay. Paying is what you expect from the thing that gives you lessons and some thing you would usually have to pay for. OK that’s all. Hope you enjoy this app if you download it.

3. 1/5Who's writing these reviews??

   As someone who is intermediate (sheetless) and practices piano daily, this app is useless to me. I originally hoped it would help me learn to read sheet music, but it's frustrating to try to use if you don't know sheet music. If you want it to learn songs, forget it. The finger placement previews on a lot of double handed songs thoughtlessly block the keys from sight making you guess what keys are being hit if you can't read notes. If you have a specific song in mind- you'll need to tediously scroll through 3 placement levels to find it. There's no search methods for specific songs. The notes sound sharp and cheap like a toy piano which gets annoying after guessing keys incorrectly and the narrators voice is also sharp and annoying. This app was not for me which is unfortunate because I spent money on it hoping it would be good since there's no available tutorial option. My genuine feedback is to give people a tutorial so they're not upset and feel inclined to leave bad reviews warning people about to spend money. Please have search & narrator options, maybe even some options for learning sheet music easier without trying to annoying wanna-be Rosetta Stone method.

4. 3/5Could Be Great, But Loves To Frustrate!

   I wanted to bad to love this app, and I do quite enjoy it and I have learned a lot with it. There are things it does that makes learning for a beginner really hard and frustrating. It can miss reading or hearing a note multiple times to the point of I have to stop and keep hitting said note hard and loud until it decides ok I got it. As if this isn’t bad enough every 20 seconds I get a pop up smack in the middle of the screen saying it is taking longer than usual and won’t close until I click wait or exit.... Seriously are you kidding me? First of all when this pops up the app and song is working just fine and playing along..... even if it was “slow” to the app while are you telling me this? And why does it need to be in a pop up that blocks my notes and won’t go away until I interact with it? Forcing me yet again to stop playing to address something that isn’t even an issue. There is a lot this app does right, but there are some glaring issues that make continued use frustrating on a daily basis.

5. 2/5Needs a lot of work

   After giving this app a good faith try for about three weeks, I’ve given up on it and will seek out a different tutorial. There are so many things I dislike about the way this app works, it’s hard to list them all. One major annoyance is having to constantly tap the iPad to move on to the next extremely short segment (some of them are five seconds or so in length, most a bit longer than that), which gets really annoying after a while. Another thing is, when you hit the start button to start showing the notes to play, it often doesn’t even give you two seconds to get your hands back on the keyboard and in place to play. For a beginner, it’s impossible to place my fingers on the right keys in that amount of time. My major grievance, I suppose, is the unrealistically fast pace that the lessons move at. I’ve only been playing piano for three weeks, I can barely play, and I’m already expected to read and play sheet music at a fast pace with two hands? Seriously?

   Watch out! Skoove is one of those companies who hopes you forget your subscription and quietly bills you once a year. If you join, cancel immediately so it will run for the year and then stop on its own. Of course it's my own fault that I forgot, but some notification is a basic service, and this style of business is dishonest. Skoove, stop doing this.
