YES, there is an in-app purchase. It’s a yearly subscription. I’m an RPT piano technician and use this CONSTANTLY. I don’t mind at all. I used to carry the Pierce Piano Atlas, which is a huge book and got left in the vehicle and never used. This is so much better. Show more

Save your time if you just plan to check it out. App will not let you do anything before paying a fee. App should have been put up for download for a fee instead of being ‘free’ and totally useless upon download. Show more

Hard to register doesnt inform you that you have to pay to use until after download then still doesnt work

Paid the service fee, couldn’t find my piano. Cancelled it.

NOT FREE•Tricks you into the download, and then you can’t even test it, before it brings you to the “contribute” page, with option to quite and op out through that tangle web with them and Apple Show more

This program will not let you cancel. Buyer Beware!!!!!

I installed this after reading in online forums that it was a decent, free app that worked intermittently. While I can’t comment on the apps' strengths from a professional perspective. As a casual user who just wanted to look up my own piano, it was disappointing to find out that there’s a monthly subscription charge after I'd already installed the app. Likely an unintentional oversight on behalf of the developer, since it is in the description (albeit, buried way down there and very vague) Recommendations: (1) The cost to do a search should be readily apparent to prospective users *before* they purchase the app (2) for the casual user who just wants to look up their own piano-why not allow a brief trial period? (3) And who pays for an app that you haven’t even been provided a chance to test out? ...particularly for an app that is known to be “buggy” based on online forum responses and even more so for one that requires you to sign up for a monthly subscription Show more

Unfortunately the app appears to be free, but once you’ve downloaded it you have to pay to use it. I don’t mind paying, but it seemed like a bait and switch to me. There’s also no option for one-time use. Show more

I was under the assumption it was free, since it said FREE. It’s not. When you type in the brand of piano, you are directed to a page to sign up for a monthly subscription. Show more

I use this app almost daily to tell my tuning clients how old their pianos are. I had an issue with iPhone 11, they jumped right on it and upgraded the app for everybody. Must have for a professional. The app fee is minuscule and will help fund ongoing research to update the database. Show more

The app states it is free, however, after you download and try to enter your information it pops up with a monthly fee. Very disappointing!!

This is something I use at every new client appointment. It works pretty much flawlessly and is much better than carrying around a huge pierce atlas. This app definitely filled a need in the trade. Thank you to the developers! Show more

Great. Checked it against my Pierce Piano Atlas and it checks. Only suggestion is that you add square grands. Updateded review. Changed my rating to 3 instead of 4 because now you have to pay. If you added square grands, I would purchase and change my rating. Show more

I use this app regularly to find out more information about pianos. I am a professional piano technician, and the OPA is very helpful in the field when making decisions about repairs. Thanks to the developer. The only issue I’ve had is when the serial number contains letters, the results often come back as “no such serial number exists...” so if that glitch were worked out it would be even better.

It appears that the author may have ripped off the information from the Pierce Piano Atlas without credit or compensation.

I installed this app with the assumption that as a “free” app, I would be able to use it in order to look up information on my one piano. They had the brand of the piano but when I went to put the serial number in, a box came up saying they now need to charge a fee for usage, to “help them out.” The smallest fee is a .99 cent monthly fee, and I’m not getting into that mess. What a bait and switch. Really disappointed. Show more

Easy to use and great to have this resource when on service calls. Excellent customer support. Well worth the yearly user fee. Thanks

App tried to make you pay. You can search it on their full website for free.

I would have paid a one time fee for the convenience of the app, but a subscription makes no sense, so I’m deleting it.

Just wanted to check the age of my piano but the app only allows subscriptions. I don’t want the risk of not being able to unsubscribe. Will literally never use it again. Would be happy to pay a dollar or two Show more
