★★★★★ Susan Todd · Sep 14, 2024
Very engaging and fun way to build note recognition skills.
★★★★★ Devlin DuVall · Mar 22, 2022
Even adults have fun and learn a lot! It has helped me with my sight-reading!
★★★★★ I · Dec 4, 2025
Updated review: Brilliant app for the landmark method, I'm a piano teacher. Thank you to the developer for updating it.
★★★★★ Deanna Duby · May 4, 2023
I love using Note Rush as a teacher! I recommend it to all my students. It has a little trouble recognizing low notes, but it's always being improved. Thanks for the reply, and for fixing the bug!
★☆☆☆☆ Bruce Wayne · Oct 14, 2021
You seriously need to update this or refund my money back. I bought this app to help my daughter with her piano. I see her playing the right notes, yet it's still showing up as the wrong note.
★☆☆☆☆ Alanis Juarbe · Mar 13, 2025
Ever since I purchased the app, it does not detect any key I play. I don't know what the problem is, pls help!!
★☆☆☆☆ Jonathan Arndt · Mar 22, 2026
Was working great but after the update plugging it in to a midi device crashes the app
★★☆☆☆ turgan s · Feb 25, 2026
Purchased it, then shocked to see it doesn't have Done, Re, Mi, Fa... the german solfège notation system, which is used OUTSIDE AMERICA... It's not even that difficult to do. The app should be titled American Note Rush.

Description by Thomas Grayston Software Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
Learn to Read Music with Note Rush! Note Rush boosts your note reading speed and accuracy, building a strong mental model of where each written note is on your instrument. Now even better with Note Rush: 2nd Edition!

How it Works
---------------------------
Note Rush is like a virtual flash card deck for all ages that listens to you play each note, giving instant feedback and awarding stars based on speed and accuracy of note identification.

Race against the clock to improve your performance or hide the timer to gently engage those just starting out with the staff.

Includes built-in levels for piano and a range of other instruments as well as custom level design.


What makes Note Rush Different?
---------------------------
- Play On Your Instrument
Note reading is best learnt in the context of how you identify and play each note - on your acoustic or MIDI instrument.

- Designed for Teachers
...and not as a replacement for them! Create fully customizable note sets and easily send them home to students.

- Fun Themes
Engage with fun themes that don't get in the way of learning, or opt for traditional notation.


Landmarks: The best way to learn your notes
---------------------------
Note Rush fits with all teaching methods, whether you favor a purely intervallic approach or use traditional mnemonics! We promote learning key landmark notes then reading adjacent notes intervallically for the best results in learning to read piano notation.

Note Rush features a unique landmarks-based hints system (optional) that highlights nearby landmark notes to read intervallically from. Over time students naturally move from reliance on landmarks to a more intrinsic staff-to-keyboard association.


Preset and Custom Levels
---------------------------
Use preset note ranges or create your own set of levels to suit your teaching style. Create a personalized level to target a particular student’s needs.

- Individual Note Selections
- Sharps and Flats
- Treble, Bass or Grand Staff (alto and tenor coming soon)
- Up to Six Ledger Lines
- Send custom note reading drills using App Links or QR Codes

Recent changes:
- Bluetooth MIDI devices now fully supported. Tap the bluetooth icon after starting a game to connect!
- Samsung Game Booster Touch Protection mode is now detected in order to recommend turning it off as it locks the screen during gameplay.
- Level QR codes and links now share as "https" rather than "http" to avoid triggering security warnings on some systems.
- Other minor fixes.
