  2. Compared to the old Windows app, the delay between pressing a piano key and hearing the note played by the app's internal synthesizer is much longer. On my particular PC, the delay in the old app was barely tolerable, but with the beta version it's now unusable. This is a big problem when trying to use Autoplay, and for people who need to turn down their piano volume and turn up the PG app's internal piano in order to use the PG app with headphones (which is the case for many users with pianos with no audio input support).

  3. Let's say you have 5 measures each containing the same whole note (C). The 5 notes are tied together with a tie or slur. If I get the note wrong in the first measure, the other 4 are scored as wrong even if I correct the error and hold the key down before the end of the first measure. This results in a lower accuracy score then is justified.

  4. There should be 4 separate accuracy scores listed in the section dropdown. One for each of the 4 possible speeds; Normal, Slow, Very Slow, Custom. Custom should reflect the current custom speed.

  5. Toolbar - GONE!

    I was hoping this was only an issue with the iPad, due to lack of screen space. Unfortunately the desktop version is the same even though there is a lot of space.

    All of the toolbar icons have been moved to drop-down menus. I've seen new users say how nice and simple and clean it "looks", but that only lasts a day or two before they realize that they need and want to use those functions, and how many clicks and scrolls it takes to interact with the hidden functionality.

    This change is beyond bizarre!

    • Timing between count-in and start of tune inconsistent
    o Select a new section
    o Press play & allow the tune to begin playing for a few seconds. Press stop.
    o Wait for at least 38 seconds
    o Press Play
    o Count in begins. After the word go, the tune starts at least a half beat sooner then it should. If you start after 15 seconds or so, it begins correctly.
    o Note: I have the audio output of my PC playing through my keyboard. Excessive static begins at about the 38…

  7. Looking for more control over volumes. The count in and especially the metronome. On previous version you could control the volume in this version it is either on or off. In my opinion when it is on, it is too loud. I am using windows 10 on a x360 HP laptop.

  8. Controls for setting the sensitivity of feedback are missing. In current ship these are located under 'Advanced Settings' -> Feedback Evaluation. I'm hoping these just haven't been added in yet and that their absence is not a design choice. These settings are critical to making the app more enjoyable and the learning experience more satisfying.

  9. Instant Feedback has always had a switch to toggle it off. The reason I hear most is that students find it distracting when they hit some red notes, sometimes to the point of not being able to continue. The problem is that when you turn off Instant Feedback, you don't get to see where your mistakes are. When the scoring window is presented at the end of PLAY, it should also post all the green/red/pink notes on the notation screen. The student wants to see where they made mistakes and zero in on that section for practice.

  10. On the original version I was able to select and practice a certain measure or set of measures, and have on repeat. On the beta version you're unable to select specific measures. You can select a starting point but not an ending point, it just plays through the end of the song.

  11.  Play song “Speak Softly Love” with feedback enabled
     When reaching last 3 measures, strike the two notes and hold down keys. Notes are displayed as green. Then press sustain pedal & release keys. Subsequent measures displayed in red which is incorrect.

  12. It feels like I get marked down for the accuracy of notes even though I believe I have played them accurately. If I play the same piece in the old app I get marked perfectly for accuracy. Has the criteria changed for accuracy? It seems much less tolerant now, to the point where I find it almost impossible to get 100% accuracy.

  14. In current ship, the feedback colors could be set via Advanced Settings. This feature appears to be missing from the new application.

  15. When playing a wrong note both the note that was missed and the incorrect note that was played are drawn with the same red note head.

    This makes it difficult to tell what the correct not was to understand and fix the problem.

    This is particularly troublesome when both notes make sense - for example, when the same note pattern occurs multiple times with subtle differences.

    Current behaviour:
    Missed and wrong notes are both displayed with the same colour

    Requested behaviour:
    Missed and wrong notes display with different colours

  17. When the app plays the piano automatically (both hands), it does not play it in a swing rhythm in sheets that are notated to be played in swing. This is also a problem in the old app.

  18. The note detection seems to be too sensitive. Playing FurElise in the new Rookie songs in production version i got a 100% score, but in the beta version my scores were between 40% and 60%. Something is off here. Running on a Yoga Pro 2.

  19. In a bootcamp lesson I accicentally hit the letter C on my laptop while I was trying to hit the space bar to start the count. From then on, as the lesson counted in, a C was marked as played in error about 2 measures ahead. This was before any actual key was struck on the piano, and happened multiple times. I tried going to a different lesson and then back to the one I was on, and the same thing happened. It resolved when I exited and re-entered Playground Sessions app.
