Five-star reviews, and what pianists tell us

Everything you could need!

It’s hard to imagine a more comprehensive piano app than this. Whether you’re just beginning or a seasoned pianist, the sheer depth of resources here will help your fingers glide over the keys - practice chords, take quizzes, explore famous studies, or just play freely. Being able to connect directly to your keyboard makes the learning experience even more seamless, but the alternative on-screen keyboard allows you to hone your skills wherever too. And it all looks good! Intuitively designed and very easy on the eye, it’s a pleasure to use

This app is fantastic, and its only getting better! I love the practice functions. It let’s you focus in on whatever you need to work on, and in whatever key: sight reading of notes, chords, etc. You can also upload your own music and the app will apply the same scoring/practice feedback as you practice it. The developer is also super responsive (at least until this app explodes when people discover it!)

I’m a complete beginner at piano, and after trying several services for learning to read sheet music, I’ve found yours to be by far the best.

A developer who listens—and an app that keeps getting better

I started using Sight Reader Read Piano Music this week, and I’m already impressed by both the app and the person behind it. Brett Cameron has been quick to respond to feedback and attentive to practical quality-of-life improvements. In just the few days I’ve been using it, he’s already improved the app twice. The lessons are useful, and the little quizzes along the way help reinforce what I’m learning. Repeated reminders make a real difference when I’m still trying to remember things like where D5 is. It’s rare to see a developer respond so quickly and make it clear that user feedback matters. Sight Reader is already a helpful practice tool, and it’s encouraging to see it getting better through thoughtful updates. I’m looking forward to seeing it continue to grow.

This app has so much more to offer than other “learn to play piano” app. Instead of just teaching you watered down versions of pop songs, it has a structured lesson plans based upon proven ABRSM standards. It has endless generated practice pieces for your level, tons of exercises from renowned authors, scales, chords, thousands of beautiful pieces of music. There is more here than you will find anywhere else. I’ve tried Synthasia, Playground Sessions, Piano Marvel and this is my favorite!

Top notch

A great app for practising note reading and a feel for time signatures on your own. You can also upload your own pieces (e.g. from MuseScore). Individual notes are recognised perfectly over a cable connection. Notes can be practised one at a time or in short random pieces, and both are pitched at the grade you’ve already reached. These cover the basics (different notes, time signatures, etc.) So far I’d absolutely recommend it!

I’m absolutely thrilled! The app is of exceptionally high quality: 1. Everything works! - I haven’t come across a single malfunction anywhere. 2. How it works and how it looks are self-explanatory and intuitive. 3. The design and the menu are well thought out. You know straight away what to do. 4. Connecting my keyboard worked first time. 5. You’re not bombarded with pushy ads for the Pro version. Highly recommended!

Learning to play made easy!

I’ve always wanted to learn to read music and play the piano. On a whim, I downloaded this app and I’m quite impressed! It’s very simple, straightforward, and I’ve been able to pick it up pretty quickly. My ADHD brain absolutely loves this and I’m excited to continue learning!!

The best sight reading app

This app is absolutely amazing! 🎹 As a music teacher, I find it incredibly helpful for both my students and my own practice. I love that it offers Grades 1–8, giving students a clear path to improve and keep challenging themselves as they progress. You can connect your piano directly through MIDI, and the app can also listen to you play through audio, which makes practicing feel much more interactive. The real-time feedback, different difficulty levels, and variety of exercises make it an excellent tool for building sight-reading skills. It’s especially helpful for students because they can practice on their own and immediately see how they’re doing. I highly recommend it to any piano teacher or student looking to become a stronger sight-reader! 🎼🔥

Great App & Support

Loved the look of the app but had a few technical problems with the app not playing sounds while phones are on silent. Emailed Bret and he sorted it for me. Wonderful app and support.

Great app for sight reading!

This is an extremely helpful app for sight reading! It’s very easy to navigate and I like the variety of different practice modes. You can follow specific grade-based exercises or explore the extensive library, which adds a lot of flexibility. The virtual inbuilt keyboard is also so handy to use on the go. I wish I’d had this app back when I was doing grades many years ago!

This has been a great app for me just starting out in piano, and unlike other apps I’ve tried. There are lots of ways to practice, including rhythm and graded pieces, and everything is set out nicely.

Frequently asked questions

How much is SightReader Pro?

$5 a month on the web, or $48 a year. Inside the iPhone and Android apps it costs a little more, which covers the store’s commission. You can cancel whenever you like and keep access until the end of the period you have already paid for.

What do I get on the free tier?

All of Foundation and Initial in Lessons plus the first unit of Grade 1, 54 study pieces, every grade from Initial to Grade 5 up to that grade’s fifth level, unlimited free play in Notes and Scales, ten generated sight-reading exercises a day with three to play, and five rated exercises a day. No card and no trial clock. Pro adds the full 3,700-piece library, every lesson and grade, unlimited exercises and rated attempts, offline downloads and MusicXML uploads.

Can I cancel at any time?

Yes. Cancel from your account page and you keep Pro until the end of the period you have already paid for. There is no exit fee and no notice period. If you subscribed inside the iPhone or Android app, cancel through the store instead.

Do you offer refunds?

Email us at hello@sightreader.app. We are a small team and we read every message ourselves, so if SightReader is not what you expected, say so and we will sort it out. Purchases made inside the iPhone or Android app are refunded by Apple or Google rather than by us.

Will I lose features if I practise on my phone?

The iOS and Android apps are the full product, not a cut-down version: the whole library, all grades, uploads, offline downloads and teacher views. Your progress follows your account.

What happens to my progress if I cancel?

Nothing is deleted. Your practice history, streak and badges stay on your account, and the free tier keeps working: you lose the Pro-only pieces, the lessons and grade levels beyond the free ones, offline downloads and uploads. Resubscribe later and everything is exactly where you left it.

Is SightReader free for teachers?

Yes. Verified teachers get Pro free and it does not expire, so there is no reason to buy a subscription first. Apply through the teacher form and we will read it by hand. The grant covers the teacher’s own account. Pupils still need their own free or Pro account.
