    Sad
    Great & helpful app. But one big thing was that before the app and books we’re totally free, I understand maybe they wanted to profit more but it is just really said to see that it’s not free anymore. Show more

    Helpful mostly
    If you are taking piano lessons and working in Fabers books, then I recommend getting this app. You’ll be able to see and hear the piece you’re working played. It’s missing dynamics, accent marks and other musical notations that are in the books. Even with that, I highly recommend this app because for just a few dollars you can here the songs played - huge! You mute or unmute the accompaniment or the left or right hand playing. I have yet to watch the videos, but plan too. - now get back to practice! Show more

    please include songs from previous wsitions of same book
    Hi so never mind the 10,000 things that it does pretty well, one of the things that's really hanging me up as a student is that my teacher has the second edition of the accelerated piano adventures for older beginners and apparently I have the first edition and they are differences between the two books.At this moment I'm getting hung up because the first edition has "home on the range" on page 40 and the second edition has "oh Susanna". Now in the app there is only access to "oh Susanna" so I'm kind of stuck because I don't have a way to utilize the app to learn this lesson. We also ran into this as the first edition has "sailors tall tale" but in the second addition apparently it is the same music but it's been renamed "gypsy band" so we could still utilize the app for that one. Home on the Range is also not available on the website as midi or anywhere else that I can find. Aside from various versions on YouTube (most of which are vastly above my ability) . In closure please include all versions of songs that were ever included on any esition of the lesson and performance books Show more

    Terrific App
    I’m an early beginner on piano, but have played guitar for years. This is a very nice app, more feature rich, stable, and usable than I expected it to be. Often, these types of apps are a quick and dirty thing that doesn’t work well, and then the company never updates it, or adds content. This app works quite well, and seems to get updated semi-regularly. Kudos to the Faber folks. I suggest using a cable to connect your iPad to your keyboard. Bluetooth introduces a delay that is noticable to most folks. A cable connection doesn’t have a noticable delay. This isn’t an app issue, it is a “feature” of bluetooth. They provide 3 songs with the free app so you can try it out to see if it works for you. The content that follows the course and song books are purchased individually, for around $5. Very reasonably priced. I just wish that all their books were available. [ To those that complained that all this should be free: I have to ask, “Do you work for free?” Yep, didn’t think so…. ] The app respects your privacy by not gathering information about you. Only diagnostics not linked to your identity are collected. I appreciate the respect, and never use apps that invade my privacy. It’s not a subscription! THANKS! I never do the subscriptions. This app isn’t perfect. Here are a few things I’d like to see improved. Occasional crashes when I press the Play button. It should always play the count-in “ticks”, even if the metronome is turned off. Otherwise, you’re just guessing when to start playing. The little dots don’t help me at all. Count-in needs to be separate from the loop markers. I often want to loop the whole “song/exercise” to practice it, and don’t want it to loop the count-in each and every time through. The current unit and file/exercise should be highlighted when you go back to the menu to choose an exercise. When you play back a recording, it should remember your last settings for playing back a recording. There are too many keypresses required to listen back, and look for mistakes, then playing again. Midi artifacts on some of my recordings. There are often some notes, and drones that I didn’t play that show up when I play back recordings. My keyboard is a Medeli AKX10. The tempo and [Normal, Follow, Wait] buttons are too small for me to read on my 12.9 inch Ipad Pro. Improve how the app shows you how you did with rhythm as well as note selection. For instance, the app shows no errors as long as I play the correct notes, even if played stacatto when it should be legato. Needs dynamics and fingering added to the sheet music display. Show more

    Great practice tool
    Love the app! I agree with previous reviews to add in some kind of countdown at the beginning of the piece, it could be like a two measure tick. This would help the students to feel the pulse and to know when to enter. Show more

    Glitches or money grabbing?
    I loved PA PLAYER and I thought $5 was a great deal for the interactive recordings. My only complaint was that the dynamics were always missing and students couldn’t learn fully. But either there is a glitch or they are trying to take more money from us because I already paid for all levels and the restore purchase button is not working. I was in the middle of a lesson and I couldnt access anything. BAD FOR BUSINESS. I tried to repurchase and only one book came up :( Super sad I hope this gets fixed because I was a regular user… Show more

    Missing lines of staff
    I do not see the grand staff, only the notes. That is not how the app is pictured. Is there a way to fix this? I tried resizing but no joy. I am running iOS 12. Otherwise, this looks good. Show more

    Fun and effective for adults & children
    I love this app for all of my students, but especially my adult beginners. My adult students like the fact that they can hear and play along with the songs at different tempos, with tracks that actually sound nice and not cheesy. The videos included with the Adult levels in the app are incredibly powerful, as well, especially for self-learners. This is high-level teaching and high-level technology solving so many needs that a student has during the week. Can’t recommend highly enough! Show more

    No interest in further development?
    It’s been years (before COVID) and still no level 4 or 5 lesson and etc. it feels like they don’t care about it. It’s losing value as a teaching aid for me. Show more
