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.

Paid member, but no access??

I purchased the family plan, and neither I or my family members have access. When we try to learn a song, there is a lock icon, and we get prompted to purchase premium. I have the bank charge. I paid. But the app is treating as if we aren’t subscribed. I wrote asking for customer service yesterday, but have not heard back yet. I planned on practicing everyday, but have already lost a few days of my year subscription. I hope this gets resolved, Before I reverse my bank charge. I tried troubleshooting as per the instructions on the flowkey support page. But it does not work. I am a paid customer who does not have access to what I paid for.

Thanks for your feedback! Maybe something, you could still try: When you use a tablet in vertical (portrait) mode, the full sheet view is automatically activated.
In this view, the piano at the top is hidden so you can focus entirely on the sheet music, almost like playing from paper.

We hope this helps make your practice feel more comfortable and enjoyable.

Polished tool - like a fine instrument

It's a really nice polished, sophisticated app that oozes purity and quality. Makes you feel good - like a beautiful instrument - it's thoroughly considered. Not full of buttons and extraeneous bits that confuse and provide friction like other apps. Would love to see it augmented with an early learning tool / class that walks beginners gently through to 2 handed playing (the hardest bit) as it otherwise seems like a more advanced though quite excellent intermediate tool. Some songs that I hoped and expected to find weren't there - so please keep expanding the library. (I was looking for some piano from Betty Bleu in particular). Awesome support should you need to communicate directly as I did - they'll make you feel lake a precious and valued customer. Thank you guys I hope to be dealing with you for some time !

Good for independent learning and good customer service

We subscribed to Flowkey during a Black Friday offer. Our son used it and enjoyed it - he used it to learn piano pieces independently but 4/5 as he said the courses weren’t very good.

One year later I had an automatic payment come through. I had a total panic because I thought I had cancelled the subscription and the price had naturally increased to the non offer price. It is annoying that you can’t cancel on your phone or iPad, you have to use a laptop/PC. I contacted Flowkey and they very kindly and swiftly arranged a refund and cancelled the subscription. Not all companies are willing to do that so I really appreciated this.

Thanks for your feedback. I’m very sorry that you had to experience this issue.
What you describe was caused by a temporary glitch that led some users to purchase a plan with limited access instead of the full Premium subscription.
Our support team can easily fix this for you and make sure your Premium access is fully unlocked.
Please contact us at support@flowkey.com or through the in-app chat, and we will be happy to correct your subscription right away.

I Like Flowkey, but Their Discount Strategy Needs More Honesty

I enjoyed using Flowkey’s free version and was interested in upgrading to Premium when I saw their Black Friday offer claiming “–70% discount.”
However, the discount is calculated against 12 monthly payments ($29 × 12), instead of their regular annual price ($140).

So the real discount is only 25%:

(140 – 104) / 140 = 25%

Customer service confirmed this, but did not address the ethical issue of using the most expensive payment option as a comparison.

Flowkey is a good product — but honest advertising builds trust.

Communication is something we’re always trying to improve, and comments like yours help us see things from the user’s perspective.
Thanks again for sharing your experience and helping us get better.

Being able to see someone play a song

Being able to see someone play a song - so I can work out the fingering - is what makes Flowkey a better match for me than the other apps I've tried. I have 2 frustrations. One is that lots of songs I'd like to learn how to play are not available. The other is that there doesn't seem to be a way to print out the songs I'm learning as sheet music. Once I've learned to play them, I'd just like to have the sheet music rather than have to use my iPad and still have the video of the person playing showing.

Reply from flowkey

Thank you for your thoughtful review and for choosing flowkey! We're really glad to hear that seeing someone play the song helps you with fingering: that’s exactly why we built the video-plus-score experience.
We completely understand your concerns and feedback as well. There’s an enormous world of music out there, and while our library is already large, there are always more songs people want to learn. We're constantly expanding it by adding new releases and prioritizing user requests.
Regarding printable sheet music: you’re absolutely right that having a printout can be very useful once you’ve mastered a piece. While flowkey focuses on a scrolling format for learning, we’ve recently introduced a full sheet music view on tablets and iPads. Simply rotate your device into portrait mode, and you’ll see the entire score at once, much closer to the feeling of real sheet music.
Thank you again for sharing your experience. Feedback like yours helps us keep improving flowkey for everyone. 💛🎶

Very fine app. One of the best.I like the frequent updates but worried that they will raise the yearly fee as they almost did once with me. I think it is better to keep the fee the same , especially for costumers/ subscribers that supported them all these years. Thank you!

I like the fact that so many songs are available and also at very different levels. I find it hard, though, to keep track of my progress. It is really difficult to find out where to start again

Thanks for sharing your feedback with us. In your home dashboard you find the section "What do you feel like playing?" and "Continue learning".

In the first one, you see some recommendations based on what you have done before. And in "Continue learning" you find pieces that you have been working on.

Still, we can see that giving an even better overview of your learning achievements would be helpful and even more motivating. We'll work on further improving this.

Lessons appear out of order or hard to pick up where left off.

I seemed to have gotten the lessons mixed up. I now consider myself on an intermediate level, but just discovered the note lessons that I could have used in the beginning lessons even though I show that I completed the beginning and intermediate lessons at 100%. I found that this was weird.

Thank you so much for your feedback! We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, and we’re sorry to hear that the course structure wasn’t immediately intuitive for you.

As a rule of thumb, we recommend that complete beginners start with the green Beginner courses and then gradually move on to the Intermediate ones. We understand it can sometimes be tricky to know exactly where you left off, but following the colour-coded levels helps ensure you cover all the essential lessons before advancing.

We’re constantly working to make navigation and learning paths clearer, and your feedback is really helpful for us in doing so.
