  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2021), chip: Apple M1 Max, running Monterey. When the second note in a tied note is encountered, it is marked in red and scored as an error, even if I correctly hold the note the combined duration of the first and second notes. Thus, the Beta version of the app is, for me, unusable until this problem is fixed. I will be using the old app until this defect is corrected.

    In the MAC beta app Version 3.0.0-beta.6 when you try to open the app offline nothing happens.

    Having access to Bootcamp, Course and Song and lessons while offline is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. I sometimes travel and bring a keyboard with me and do not have internet access on my laptop. Without the…

  5. I realise the sustain pedal don't sustain the note played on the new app. The Mac app does. As a piano player, the sustain pedal helps to sustain the note without pressing on the keys. This is important.

  6. ERROR SAVING PRACTICE

    After 2 hours of practice today I received this ERROR notice while it was trying to save my score:

    I had never had this happen before.

    After closing, the application hung up, with the "loading" graphic on the screen:

    I had to close the application and reopen again

  7. Option for "HIGHLIGHT" function in addition to loop function.

    In the previous MAC Version 2.5.582 you can highlight a section to work on.
    When you PLAY it provides feedback on the notes you got right, close or wrong. At the end it stops and does NOT loop. So you can view how you played and what notes need work. You can then hit the lowest and highest notes for it to start again.

    In the new BETA version, if you highlight a section it turns LOOP on AUTOMATICALLY. It provides feedback on how you played, except it loops immediately so…

  8. 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.

  9. In the Rookie Bootcamp, in the Song "In The End" there is a "ghost" note in the first measure that is not visible but at the end of the playback the Beta App says I'm missing a note even though I played all the "Visible notes". Also I'm getting a Score of 94 even though I played all the notes correctly.
