User Reviews

Users praise Real Piano for its recording feature, solid sound, fast load times, and no IAPs. However, recurring problems include stability issues (crashes/freezes), inconsistent recording playback/export, sound quality quirks (latency and pops), and limited external device connectivity (MIDI/Audiobus/remote). A few users also note that settings don’t persist across launches.
Pros
  • Recording option is available and useful for composing, recording, editing, and playback.
  • Sound quality is strong/great and frequently praised by users.
  • Fast loading and smooth, responsive interface/keys.
  • No in-app purchases; everything is unlocked.
  • Ability to hear a background track while playing adds practical value.
Cons
  • Recording playback and export can stop working or be unavailable in some versions.
  • Stability issues: frequent crashes/freezes, especially with headphone use or during navigation.
  • Sound quality can be inconsistent (latency, degraded tone after updates, pops/clicks).
  • Limited external device/MIDI connectivity (no Core MIDI, limited Audiobus/remote support).
  • Settings/preferences often don’t persist between launches.
Recent reviews
The sounds are perfectly adequate for my use- noting musical ideas quickly as they appear in my head. I see lots of complaints in the reviews regarding functionality, but I have no problems, except that once in a while, the sound lags behind pressing the keys- but I expect that is a product of my device, not the app. My only suggestion for improvement would be to have the ability to have playback speed adjustable, to facilitate transcribing, or to speed up slowly-played passages. Even better, to record and show the individual keystrokes.

The app is nice for testing out tunes and chord sequences, but if you record a tune you cannot play it back. You can rename it or delete it, but you cannot play it back. Too bad
