## Review summary

Piano Diary is valued for recording and tracking piano practice and is seen as useful for teachers, students, and parents. However, reviews consistently flag ongoing maintenance gaps and restricted sharing due to social-login and verification issues, plus a lack of updates and regional discrepancies. The main calls for improvement are better ongoing support, fewer sharing barriers, and feature enhancements such as editing tools and MIDI export.

### Pros

- Strong audio recording capabilities for piano practice.
- Useful as a piano practice diary for tracking, recording, and sharing, suitable for teachers, students, and parents.
- Positive overall reception as a practical tool for practice management.

### Cons

- Social-media login requirements and sharing restrictions hinder use, including YouTube uploads due to an unverified app.
- App appears outdated and poorly supported by Yamaha US, with years of little to no updates and regional version disparities.
- Requests for missing features and enhancements (e.g., MIDI export and clipping/editing tools) are not being addressed.
