Learn Piano HD

This app is pretty buggy for what it is essentially a glorified website with a bunch of pages with some videos no MIDI integration or practicealong functionality The app has trouble remembering the downloaded videos as of the latest version at this time end of November 2012 Sometimes it will show them as available sometimes it doesnt At first I thought I solved the problem by redownloading the videos a whopping 12GB altogether until I saw under usage that it was taking up well over 4GB I deleted the whole thing redownloaded everything again Today it suddenly started streaming the videos and the download manager showed no videos A restart resolved the issue Even if the videos download the graphics keyboard maps etc do not unless they seem to get cached sometimes They dont take up that much space so how hard can it be to ensure that all the assets other than videos are properly packaged in the app I found all that out the hard way on an airplane thus no internet connectivity So if you plan to take it to a relative to show off how cool learning with the iPad can be with no WiFi and dont have cellular data beware Oh and it still has trouble correctly reading the rotation at startup The reason I still give it the marks I did is because the teacher is actually quite good and the videos are clear and well done and take you a fair amount along the way playing the piano esp for the price Still having the issues above esp the accumulating video files on the lowstorage space devices is pretty bad and all should be pretty easy to fix Adding MIDI support would be fantastic but obviously a much bigger undertaking and perhaps paying a bit more           Could be better

This app is great for beginners taking you step by step through scales chords and songs at a pace that is basically up to you My piano skills and understanding of music have improved immensely in just a few days                 Very good

Great app Keep it up                 Simply great

I only get parts of the lessons downloaded and then see the comment above Why isnt that in your FAQs or a banner on screen letting us know before we wast time thinking your download manager actually is a download manager How do we download complete lessons I turned off screensaver and log out thanks Otherwise it seems good           Questions Not answered

I saw that the app had been fixed and shouldnt freeze up anymore It still does I need a refund if this can not be fixed     Frozen Piano

App does not work Not even the introduction nothing Must be a scam     Not worth it

I have already learned so much by using this app My wife told me that if I was going to try playing the piano I should learn the correct way to do it I definitely have thanks to this app                 Wonderful teacher

Ive been looking all over for the best way to learn piano and this is it                 Exactly what I was looking for

Easy to follow and fun to learn by the techniques used Love It                 Great App

I just started playing piano and this app has helped a lot You really get a lot of lessons for the price too I love that you can stream the videos or download them so app downloaded quickly and I was able to jump right in to the lessons                 Awesome

Thought it would have a simulated keyboard to teach you keys and understand beginner sheet music type stuff I dont have a piano I cant just tap out with him So mad I spent money on this Didnt think itd be a full keyboard not possible to learn full chords on a small screen but something approx it     Not what it seems

What is Mahalo Why does it keep coming up I paid for the piano HD app and all I get is the word Mahalo and then a snow white screen I want my money back This isnt right I have to rate it with 1 star but it deserves nothing     Not Happy

Although I purchased this app I get advertisements at the beginning of every video which detracts immensely from what would be a very positive experience Work something out with Youtube asap        Ads for movies

Very happy with this app Wanna learn Get it                 Great app

Ive been wanting to brush up my piano skills for a while This is like a 5volume encyclopedia and tutor that I can carry around with me anywhere                 This is exactly what I needed

I never take the time to write App reviews but this app has me so tickled that I felt compelled to say THANK YOU thank you for such a fabulous program The simple no fuss piano training was exactly what I needed I took lessons when I was 5 years old and wanted to relearn to play now at almost 50 and Peter Darling has made it an easy process for me Love everything about this program                 Thrilled

Just purchased app tried to open it and it freezes on a picture of a piano wouldnt recommend this until they figure out how to test the frickin app before they offer it for sale     App freezes immediately upon opening

This might be fine instruction but since I cant view beyond the intro video I rate the app as awful the 2nd one just crashes before loading     Vide keeps crashing

Cool now my old piano is not useless                 Review

Peter Darling does a great job However I am a little confused by the description in the App Store that says learn 12 Christmas songs Ive gone through all 3 parts and the only Christmas song is Away in a Manger Is there something else I need to download for the other songs                 Very Good App

my last I dos not mean to buy I toke off my phone right away an would have my money back     my last app

Highly recommend this app              Great App for beginners in piano or keyboard

My piano skills has increased tremendously Ive tried so many other tutorials this is by far the BEST                 AMAZING

Ive been wanting to learn piano for a long time now but it just seemed so complicated and hard The host explains everything really clearly and is easy to follow Im loving it                 Easy to follow

I click on the lesson and it doesnt even open up     Hate it

Garbage doesnt even deserve one star     I want a refund

Awesome                 Awesome

I read the reviews of the old version and was very excited There were no reviews of the newest version Of course now there is one it describes the app as freezing up immediately That is how I would describe it too VERY UNHAPPY WITH THIS APP IT HAS BEEN FROZEN FOR A WHILE SERIOUSLY     Learn Piano HD

WOW I am an adult beginner and this app is the perfect instruction needed to help enforce what I learn in my lessons                 Perfect for Older Students

Paid 199 for the app and keep on getting an MMA ad Should not get ads with a paid app Also too difficult to get any support     Surprised

The app is amazing Thanx to this app I learned three different chords and three tricky songs in ONE DAY besides a singing talent now Im gonna be able to play the piano too The app is amazing Best piano app made                 AMAZING

This is an excellent app for learning piano I hope they continue to add more lessons than are presently on there C F G These are pretty basic but I like the fact they show correct finger position when doing scales Again I am hoping that more lessons will be added as well as The difficulty will increase                 Excellent app

Im very excited to find an inexpensive alternative to paid piano lessons                 Great

I love the teacherhe is like a young Santa Claus teaching me Piano Love it so far                 Great app that I have been using everyday

This app is very useful My kids are very musically inclined so rather than spending a huge amount of money on private lessons they were able to learn the piano on our own time in the comfort of our own home No more driving back and forth to lessons every week                 Great app

Download always starts from the beginning after opening app from background or closingopening cover flow To download lesson app needs to stay on screen its frustrating to start all over again every time              Lessons download

Worked when I first got it but when I opened it the next day after the mahalo logo the screen just stays blank white and I cant do anything Not very fun when I cant use it Please fix          

955              Good

Very confused why cant I watch the lessons I am very savvy Are the links broken Uggghhhhh     How can I learn

This has been a great starter course for me It goes over 3 keys with scales chords and some songs for each Anyone who wants more than that for 199 is just greedy I give it 5 stars as it stands Im hoping that they will add some expansions I would pay for them as in app purchases                 Perfect starter course

Add more and I will make it 5 stars        Add

Great           Good

I just purchased this app and cant even get past the introduction The entire program freezes up I did read other reviews but thought I would try it anyway I surely hope that in updates these bugs can be fixed I was looking forward to sharpening up my rusty skill     Frustrated

Really love the way the animated keys are shown in sync with the video And the instructor is excellent at making sure he spends just enough time on a subject before moving to the next                 Very Helpful

Once you get to G major all the lessons freeze within the first few seconds I enjoy the way the lessons are presented by Peter Darling however it is very frustrating that there are more lessons that that I would like to take but are frozen Please fix this           Learn piano hd

Unable to play any video past the intro What do I need to do to get the app to work Rod     Help

This app is great for helping you understand chord structure and variations in addition to getting you playing quickly           Great tool

I have been playing piano for many years and took a break I like using this app for the exercises and the enthusiasm of the teacher I like the video along with the notes and the stepbystep style The teacher is light approachable and friendly What a deal                 An excellent app

It takes forever to download this app     So funny

If you want to learn piano in a completely understandable way get this program                 Highly recommended
