Reviews

Five-star reviews, and what pianists tell us

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!!

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.

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! 🎼🔥

Helps make piano practice more fun!

I have been really enjoying using the app for sight reading practice! I enjoy the different modes, which keeps practice feeling fresh, and the app makes it easy to find new repertoire. Highly recommended!

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!

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 note and scale drills, 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 [email protected]. 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.

Why is the app more expensive than the website?

Apple and Google take a commission on anything bought inside an app, and the in-app price covers it. Subscribing on the web at $5 a month gets you exactly the same product, and that subscription works in the apps too — it follows your account, not the device.

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.
