  1. The overview page like in the older Mac App is motivating. It shows my progress and the badges encourages me to keep on learning. Please include it in the app as well.

  2. The recommended finger number setting is great with new feature to see the note names too. Would be great for the older Mac App to have this feature. Really like it. Still hope that we can change the finger number when we wanted because it is a personal preference.

  3. I setup my volume controls in settings but when I play the Hanon Exercise, the Metronome is at 80% volume and I have to change it every time I want to start playing. Very troublesome. Hopefully the volume settings can stay as what I have setup in volume settings.

  4. BPM cannot be input. Will be better if we can change the BPM by keying in the BPM we wanted.

    The BPM increment should be in ascending or descending order. The jump in number is too much.

  5. The new Tempo Dropdown menu works well.
    However, I miss having the tempo I am using visible on the screen.

    When I am learning a new song or difficult lesson I slow the tempo way down and then increase it in increments.

    When doing this it helps to be able to see what tempo I am at without having to go to a dropdown menu.

  6. MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019)
    2.4 Ghz 8-Core
    32 GB 2667 MHz DDR4 memory
    MacOS Catalina Version 10.15.6

    When I open up the PGS Beta App I get a “Playground Sessions for Piano quit unexpectedly” Warning Box

    https://pasteboard.co/GYfcYTAmKkhF.png

    The app doesn't actually quit. So I just close this box and use the app.
    But it happens every time I open the Beta App.

    I have all the text details from the “Problem Details and System Configuration” box if you want me to send those.

  7. In the Course & My Song section:

    1) option to view as list (icons take up a lot of space and force scrolling (time-waster))

    2) ability to sort by name, level, etc.

    3) Folder option to file songs (i.e, Xmas, current, future, etc)

  8. After clearing the looping function, when I hit play, the cursor doesn't jump to the beginning of the song. Therefore, I need to stop playback, move to the top/beginning of the song, and hit play again.

  9. I am using Mac Big Sur 11.6.4 On a number of lessons eg rookie, lines treble clef, there are 2 issues. The first issue is - after the treble clef there is an odd stand alone line. The second issue is - the notes are doubled where they should not be (this is not for a chord) for example where you play a G, it comes up as GG. I noticed this on a couple of lessons on intermediate too.

  10. To be consistent with other Mac apps, in the "Playground Sessions for Piano" menu, "Quit playground" and "Hide playground" "playground" should be "Playground"

  11. When selecting a song I am part way through the lessons, I would prefer PGS to show me the next lesson I need to work on, not revert back to the first lesson.
    Similarly, when selecting a song I have already completed all of the lessons and only want to play it, I would prefer to have "Performance" as the default.

  12. In lessons that contain an onscreen keyboard (Prelude in C Challenge - Lesson 1, part 2 for example), the bottom of the keyboard and note names are covered up by the playback bar.

  13. Video lessons are looping- when the video finishes, it restarts at the beginning instead of presenting a confirmation of completing the lesson and providing a way to move on to the next lesson.

  14. Ability to choose seeing song lesson progress view on the left versus having to go to top and select drop down menu and scroll down to lesson number - quicker and easier to select if already on the screen. You could make it hide if someone wants it out o the way.

  15. Having the ability to change the views to a list view so you can see more at once in the lessons, courses, and songs sections versus just only the big thumbnails.

  16. Being 61 years old and needing to wear glasses there is no ability to zoom in our out which is available in previous version. Request ability to zoom measures in lessons, courses, and songs purchased.

  17. Pressing the spacebar starts the playhead moving, but it doesn't start the backing track, the play button at the top of the page doesn't turn into a pause button, and the playback is unpredictable. Sometimes the playback starts at the beginning, sometimes it starts at the beginning but then marks notes later in the piece as incorrect, sometimes it starts in the middle of the piece. Additionally, it seems to register as an incorrectly played note- the E♭, 6 spaces above the top of the bass clef staff.

  19. I use a password manager and generate my passwords. It's much easier for me to log in when I can copy/paste my login info (especially my password), and the sign-in form on the app doesn't allow pasting via the ⌘-v keyboard shortcut.
