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.

Happy

Flowkeu is wonderful. They helped me to get my subscription fixed. What I have learned to play is amazing. I think young children would really enjoy it. I never knew how to make a chord, but I am learning now.

Flowkey is okay but not good

Flowkey is okay. It costs.way too much and is only a little helpful. No body can possibly actually learn how to play the piano well from an app. You can learn to play a few songs. They price this app as if it's a miracle. They don't really let you get to know it before buying because you wouldn't buy it if you could see it's worth upfront. We gave it a try,.it's not horrible,.we are not impressed and will not renew at this super high price. It's real value is about $1.99 per month.

Thanks for sharing your honest thoughts with us. We’re sorry to hear that flowkey didn’t meet your expectations and that the 7 days free trial was not sufficient in your case to evaluate our app. We understand that everyone’s learning experience and needs are different. We appreciate you taking the time to describe yours so clearly.
Your feedback about how the app is experienced upfront is valuable and will be shared with our team for consideration as we continue improving flowkey.

Thanks for sharing your feedback with us. We had stable pricing for about 8 years, and in 2024, we needed to make some price adjustments. We understand that this also affects our users.

That said, we did not increase our prices again since 2024, and we’re continually looking into improving our local pricing as well.

I’m seventy years old and haven’t touch a piano in thirty years. I may not be a concert pianist but I can play at least a couple of songs. Plus piano playing is helping my arthritic fingers. I’m very happy and glad that my son found Flow Key app. It’s wonderful! I love it!🥰

I have enjoyed learning to play but would like more popular music

I have enjoyed learning to play. When I first started playing there was a lot of popular music, generally well known from charts over the years, films etc.
I’m not so motivated to learn to play classical music.
There now seems to be less of the music I prefer and more classical music.
I have to admit my enthusiasm has declined.
Please continue to add more popular music and keep everyone happy.

I love this app

I love this app! It’s really brilliant. I’m 70 years old and musically inept but despite these handicaps I’m making good progress. It makes learning easy and fun. It’s like having a really patient teacher on hand 24 hours a day.

Overall

Overall, I think Flowkey is a very good app for piano, especially for beginners like myself.
It's kind of expensive though! Not sure if I will renew because of price.
The visual piano is great for learning correct finger placement when learning to play. However, it would be nice if you could turn it on and off after you've learned correct fingering so you can focus on reading the music. I currently use a sheet of folded paper to block from seeing the keyboard as I tend to "cheat" and watch that instead of reading the music.

Thanks so much for your kind words! We're really glad to hear that flowkey has been helpful for your piano journey, especially as a beginner. We also understand that costs can be a concern these days.

It’s a thoughtful idea to be able to turn the video on or off as your skills grow. I see how this can be useful and I’ll make sure to share that with our team. Thanks again for your feedback and all the best with your playing!

It’ Really easy to start with the App

It’ really easy to start with the App. And the lessons were built very helpful. Some notes the App don‘t hear right and then It’s not so easy to continue.
It would be helpful to have a function, that you can see the notes from a whole Song as like on paper and play in your own way.

Thanks so much for your feedback It's great to hear that our lessons are helping you improve your skills!

If you're using an Android tablet or iPad, you can switch to the full sheet view by turning your device vertically. This allows you to play the song almost like from paper.

If you're experiencing occasional issues with note detection, our support team would be happy to take a closer look. Feel free to reach out via the in-app messenger or by email at support@flowkey.com.

Flowkey totally delivers.

I’m now in my third year of using flowkey and still going strong. I can now read music, play with both hands as well as having memorised a dozen short pieces including Happy Birthday, The Entertainer and Swan Lake. It took about 2 years of constant practice to get to this stage. It’s not like The Matrix when Neo learned how to fly a helicopter in 3 seconds whilst jumping from a building into the helicopter he needed to learn how to fly! Needless to say I am very slow and I wouldn’t charge anyone to hear me play as I’m a bit clunky but nevertheless, I have fulfilled my ambition of being able to play the piano. If you have patience, time and are determined to learn how to play the piano, flowkey totally delivers.

I really like that it allows me to practise with either or both hands. The speed control is also useful. It would be even better if the music could be printed.

Good app but music selection poor

App seems good and like the style compared to a competitor especially showing the fingers. However the young fella quickly lost interest when he consistently couldn’t find tunes relevant to young people.Now doesnt get used.

Thanks a lot for your feedback! We're glad you like the app’s style and how it shows the fingers.

We’re always adding new songs, so it’s worth checking back in from time to time. The Video Game section might be a fun place to check out. It offers several well-known tunes that younger players often enjoy.

Great selections of music all genres

Great selections of music all genres. It was nice to see that recently you can read your music vertically or horizontally, but not all of the selections are available in both formats.

I love the viariety of options

I love the variety of options open to learn songs and for a beginner the lessons are wonderful. I had a 3mth trial when I bought my keyboard and then I subscribed for a year.

I would like to be able to download a few songs so I can practice if I have no signal or after I have paid for 12 months subscription. If i bought a book its a one off fee.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're really glad to hear that you're enjoying the variety of learning options and that the lessons have been a great fit for you as a beginner.

We completely understand the wish to be able to download a few songs for offline practice. While a book is indeed a one-time purchase, flowkey offers an experience that goes beyond static sheet music — with interactive learning features, real-time feedback, and song recommendations that adapt to your progress.

Still, your feedback about offline access is absolutely valid. While it's not currently possible to download songs, we’ve passed your thoughts along to the team so they can keep this in mind as we continue developing the app.
