Description

Note Flash helps you improve your sight reading skills for sheet music. This is the most intuitive way of learning how to read sheet music notes as it listens via the microphone or a connected MIDI instrument to make sure you play the correct note in the correct octave. Note Flash is the ONLY app which also has accidentals (sharp and flat notes) along with ledger lines for advanced players. Note Flash is also the ONLY app to show graphs on your progress in recognizing notes faster. This way you will know which notes you are spending more time thinking. **How to use** - Best results via a MIDI connected instrument. I developed and tested using a Yamaha P115 Piano connected to iPhone/iPad with this cable (other MIDI cables should work too): https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0829NV65Q/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A1UM1J239QRPCJ&psc=1 Play the Note shown on screen on the piano and the app will listen via the microphone or via the connected MIDI instrument. You must play in the correct octave too - Note Flash is very intelligent to recognize the correct octaves. If played correctly, the app shows a new note on screen. If you can't remember, then you can tap "Show Hint". The app is built for infinite practice which encourages practice more as it makes note reading into a game. Note Flash learns which note you are getting wrong or spending more time thinking and shows you more often. You can view your progress graphs for each note and both staff. This way you will know exactly how long you spend thinking of each note and how it's improving! You can select which hand you would like to practice or you can do both randomly. You can also choose to show accidentals - sharp, flats as well enable ledger lines for more advanced students. The app comes with a variety of beautiful themes and you can use your own picture too for the theme. The app contains no ads for a distraction free experience. Please note that the app needs microphone access to listen to your piano. The app does NOT connect to the internet and your microphone data is completely safe as it never leaves your phone. I recommend using a MIDI connected piano. If you use the microphone and are having trouble detecting the notes, go to my app's settings and change the "Sensitivity". Default value is 5. If you have any feedback, please contact us at: pran@pranapps.com I have made this app with love because I myself struggled to read music when learning piano and the old paper flash cards were just not effective! So I really hope this helps you and your students out!

    I use app for maybe 2 mins max. it completely kills my battery and the phone gets very warm to hot on the one side. But the way its designed has helped with remembering notes quicker, But i will have to delete app makes me nervous for my phone.
  • Needs more ledger lines

    Seems like it’d be exactly what I’m looking for except it only goes two ledger lines above and below
  • Nagged for review repeatedly during timed session

    Also consumes insane battery
  • Limited but OK for what it does

    I like that it provides a full range of notes to practice and can take input via MIDI. Having said that, these are not discrete exercises, just one note after another ad infinitum, so it’s kind of boring. Also the orientation is fixed so you can’t turn your phone upside down if you need to in order to accommodate a MIDI cable. (At least the orientation doesn’t change on my iPhone Mini.)
  • Nice layout

    Decent app but window pops up to review every minute which is annoying.
  • Poor

    It appears that it fails to respond to correct note played frequently why. Probably to frustrate you enough to buy “the pro” app

    It would be a lot better if it had a sound!
  • Says wrong notes are right

    It says wrong notes are correct and is extremely inaccurate. There’s a setting that lets you turn the sensitivity up or down but it still will go to the next note and show you did it right even if play a note that’s not even close. It also sometimes skips through a few notes even when you does play anything.
