Currently 6 months into learning the piano again, downloaded the app to give it a whirl.

Very first impression, but the Continuous scrolling seems to be a little jerky in places.

Edit: it's synching up with the notes as they scroll by which is your design choice I guess. Smooth continuous scrolling wasn't something that seemed appropriate?



Check the options menu. I've only watched the demo movie, but it appears that there are two options for scrolling: page turns (like traditional sheet music, seemed "jerky" to me) and smooth scrolling.

I think the option is already there, you just have to pick it.


After listening to the following TED talk, I feel that your store could do with some Chopin.

There was a last-minute problem with the 2 Chopin songs that were ready to go live with the app. Hopefully have em next week.


Another comment: when playing through For Elise, it plows right through the 1 and 2 endings for each section when it should play the 1 ending before doubling back and playing through again before playing the 2 ending.


I too would prefer totally smooth continuous scrolling (like ddr when the notes are played as they hit the line).
