Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Reviewers had a great experience with this company. Customers praise the platform as an ideal and easy way to learn piano, especially for adults and beginners, appreciating the clear, helpful lessons and the ability to learn at their own pace. Many highlight features like separate hand practice, wait mode, and video above sheet music as particularly useful. The extensive and varied song library, along with the clean, instructive interface, contributes to a fun and inspiring learning experience for many. However, some people were dissatisfied with the app's recognition of notes, occasionally freezing or not registering correct keys. There were also mentions of the song library feeling stale, with a desire for more popular, recent, or specific genres of music, and some songs disappearing. A few customers found the subscription price to be expensive, questioning its value and expressing concerns about limited functionality or issues with family sharing and accessing subscribed content.

I’m really enjoying flowkey

I’m really enjoying flowkey which is teaching me how to play properly by reading the music. The lessons are very clear and helpful and there are thousands of songs to choose from at different levels of difficulty. Also if you have a question the support desk answers quickly and is very helpful

Great interface, easy to learn

I've been learning piano with a teacher for 6-7 years and made great progress. Now I moved out and had to find an alternative - Flowkey really works great for my level and the wait function is super! I've learnt 2 long songs in 3 months with daily practice.

Easy to install and setup

Easy to install and setup. Great range of songs to learn. I would love to see an “experience score” of sorts so a beginner like me knows what is approachable and achievable. Other than that, it is a nice app to use with the wait function.

Excellent app, outstanding customer service!

I enjoy the app a lot. It has been great for a beginner like me with absolutely no musical experience. I like the lessons and there is so much music available. I had an issue connecting to my piano and the tech support was outstanding. They continue to communicate with me until the issue was resolved, even when it became obvious the problem was not with the app.

İ like the education system but must contain more popular songs

İ like the education system that has a theorical structure . However the parts, songs and exercises gets difficult very quickly. Smoother transitions might be preferable. More popular, recent songs for every age group must added. We have A famişy plan but my children bored quickly.I like that it's note-based and doesn't include non-educational elements like colored keys. This should be continued. This simple and instructive interface is what sets it apart from other applications.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review. I’m really glad to hear that you like the structured, note-based approach and the simple interface.

I also appreciate your feedback about the difficulty progression and the wish for more recent, popular songs. It’s helpful to hear this, especially from a family perspective. I’ll definitely pass it on to the team.
Thanks again for sharing your experience.

Song selection needs improvement

Song selection needs improvement. Lessons are good, but not great. App doesn't properly recognize individual notes (in complex chords) when using iPad microphone, so expensive and clunky connected MIDI cable is required unfortunately (EXPENSIVE!)

Thank you for your honest feedback. I’m glad you find the lessons good, and I appreciate your thoughts on the song selection.

With microphone mode, complex chords can sometimes be harder to detect accurately. If your piano supports it, Bluetooth MIDI can be a smoother wireless alternative to a cable connection. If you have any questions about setting that up, the support team is always happy to help.

Has potential but flow seems flawed

I like the lessons and the ability to repeat an exercise ad infinitum.
I intensely dislike the flow, which is ironic considering the title.
I seem to have jumped from basic to intermediate long before I was ready and cannot find my way back.

Thanks a lot for sharing your feedback. I’m really glad to hear you enjoy the lessons and the option to repeat exercises as often as you like.

I’m sorry to hear that the progression felt too big of a jump and that finding your way back hasn’t been easy. It sounds like you experience issues with the Wait Mode or note detection. If that's the case I’d recommend getting in touch with our support team. They'd be happy to look into this with you.

I like the arrangements

I like the arrangements, a bit more complex than other piano apps. More challenging but I think I can learn a lot from Flowkey. The only downside so far is that the notation is a bit small for me. It’s better with weak reading glasses but I would prefer to have a bit bigger notation for playing along

I enjoy using Flowkey because of its easy-to-navigate interface, the lessons it provides, and the large library of songs in diverse genres. I subscribed to the premium subscription. It works well for my 12-year-old son and my learning as well. I also wanted to mention the fantastic customer support team. I looked at the other popular learning platforms, but Flowkey was the most appealing!

Unfair auto-renewal trap and zero customer support

I purchased a one-year subscription to Flowkey last year but had no intention of continuing it. Fast forward a year, and they automatically charged me for another full year without sending a single reminder email beforehand. Quietly renewing an expensive annual subscription without giving customers a heads-up is incredibly deceptive and terrible for consumer trust.

Thank you for taking the time to share this. I really understand how unexpected a renewal charge can feel, especially if you weren’t planning to continue.

Please reach out to support@flowkey.com with your account details or directly via our in-app messenger. They’ll be happy to look into this and find a solution.

We usually reply within 24 hours, and I’m sure we’ll be able to find a good solution.

I played accordion as a kid living in Pennsylvania. I've always been intrigued with the keyboard but of course didn't know what to do with my left hand. I asked Chat Gpt what learning tool would be best for me and it rated Flowkey the highest for my situation. I'm not an everyday practicer but when I do I enjoy it and I am playing with two hands. I'm also beginning to play some songs by ear which is what I have done in the past. Highly recommend it.

Thank you for sharing your feedback, I really appreciate you taking the time to write it.

I understand that wanting to slow a piece down even further can be important, especially when you’re working through more challenging passages. While the tempo slider currently goes down to 50%, I’d recommend trying Wait mode or Just Play if you’d like to practice more slowly.
Both follow your playing speed and give you feedback. Just Play works similarly to Wait mode, but it allows for smaller imperfections, which usually creates a smoother flow while still adapting to your tempo.
I’ll definitely pass your feedback on to the team.

Shoulder surgery delays my use

Unfortunately I cannot use the App for about another 8 weeks due to shoulder surgery. I’ve read many great reviews and watched videos. I’m hoping it will be a great experience for me as well.
