Overall, it is seen as more suitable for amateurs rather than seasoned musicians, with better free resources available for serious learners.

The gameplay has been criticized for its frustrating mechanics, particularly regarding the placement of notes on the scale, which can lead to inaccuracies and disrupt the overall experience.
“But the issue lies in the gameplay, as sometimes when I try to insert a note into its proper place on the scale, it ends up appearing in the wrong part, which is extremely annoying.”
