## Description

Piano Partner 2 is a companion app that pairs with Roland digital pianos to make learning and playing more engaging. It displays the piano’s onboard songs and DigiScore Lite on your device, provides Rhythm accompaniment, and uses Flash Card to develop ear training and note-reading. The app also lets your iPad or iPhone act as a remote controller for the piano, enabling convenient control from a touch screen.

Key features include Songs, DigiScore Lite, Rhythm, Flash Card, Remote Controller, Recorder, Diary, and Profiles for multiple users. It supports Bluetooth or USB connections to compatible Roland pianos and includes setup notes and compatibility details. The privacy notes describe data collection used to improve functionality, and that data is not used to identify individuals.

## Review summary

Piano Partner 2 garners mixed reviews. Some users find it adds useful features and can handle basic recordings, but a large number report unreliable Bluetooth pairing, stability issues, and limited recording export capabilities. The interface is seen as dated and hard to use, with small text and restricted sheet-music viewing. Add to this infrequent updates and compatibility problems across iOS versions and Roland models, and the overall experience is inconsistent and often frustrating.

### Pros

- Reveals additional features and controls on Roland FP-series pianos (e.g., FP-10) that users didn’t know existed.
- Basic recording and playback can work for some users.
- Some models (e.g., FP-30) can pair via Bluetooth and connect without immediate issues.

### Cons

- Bluetooth connectivity is unreliable; users report frequent pairing failures, need to retry, or reinstall to connect.
- App is buggy, with freezes, crashes, and unresponsiveness observed by multiple users.
- Recording features cannot be exported or shared; long recordings often cannot be saved and playback can be inconsistent when the app is minimized.
- Outdated UI/UX with very small fonts and limited navigation; cannot zoom sheet music and playback may start from the beginning rather than a chosen measure.
- Lack of updates and compatibility issues; last app updates were years ago and there are reports of incompatibility with newer iOS versions/models.
