    Great for sight reading- very difficult after level 4
    This app generates different sight reading patterns/ pieces on demand and you can customize a lot of things (number of measures, annotations, key, tempo, etc.) which is great, but… from level 4 to level 5 the difficulty changes drastically and there is no fingering annotations (it’s not a 5 finger position anymore). If I knew how to quickly figure out the fingering as I sight read, I don’t even think I’d be using this app. Either make an extra level between 4/5 that helps with fingering in a non 5 finger piece, pr add the annotations and let the user activate/deactivate as desired. I’ll change my review when/if that ever happens. Before using this app I couldn’t even sight read a level one piece and it helped me tons, but now I am stuck on level 5. Show more

    Staff renders too small to be read on 12” iPad
    I want to like this app, but the musical staff renders very small, at the extreme top of the screen, on iPad Pro 12”. I was advised by support to zoom in with a pinch gesture, which would probably work, but this is not the experience I was expecting from a paid service. Show more

    Can’t login and no trial
    App won’t let you log in, after over an hour trying to figure that out made an account on their webpage (not easy to find there either!) and it won’t even give a 7 day trial to test. So you can’t use this app at all unless you want to do serious Google research to create an account and then they require pay upfront- I can’t even log in, why on earth would I commit to an expensive subscription for something that doesn’tappear to work?!? Seems like great concept, I wish it worked Show more

    Reasonably good for a beginner, not well suited for advanced
    if you are serious about learning to cite read for the piano, this is not the app for you. There is no convenient way to set the range of notes that the app will use in the exercise as it presents. Do you have the option of either setting it for a different instrument than piano, or setting it for a different key, or both, but in no case will it give you exercises suitable for learning notes above and below the staff. This is probably less of a problem for instruments other than piano. Show more

    Scam
    Masquerades as a free app, but requires a $35 annual subscription. You can't even try the app, first. I guarantee this is against some AppStore terms of use.

    Great but 1 thing..
    I will say that this app is pretty amazing! It absolutely helps me out when it comes to reading music and If I could, I would have told my Jr. High teacher to use Sight Reading Factory. However, there is one big thing that bugs me. On the website once you finish a recording in an assignment, you’re given the option to review your recording, that way you can be sure to get a perfect score. On the app there is no way to review your work to make sure you say the right notes, stay on beat, etc. For this reason I mostly gravitate towards the website rather than the app. If this issue could be fixed it would be a world of help!

    good app
    people are forgetting you need to pay to do some things so. that’s why there’s low reviews. it’s a good app and i would definitely suggest it .

    Have to have it for chorus.
    This is a real nag and my chorus teacher made me download it to do some assignments. Can’t use the website bc it’s just a link to the App Store.

    I Can’t Think of a Better Way to Practice Sightreading!
    I’m pursuing a master’s degree in collaborative piano, and this app really helps sharpen my sightreading skills! This is literally one of my favorite apps ever.

    Can’t redownload
    I had this app last year for chorus. This year when I go to redownload it it won’t let me. Last year it was quite confusing.

    Upgrade broke iOS 9
    The September 24th upgrade broke the app on iOS 9.3.5, it either crashes or complains about a rendering error.
