Piano - Music Keyboard & Tiles

What it is

Piano by Gismart is a free keyboard simulator for phones and tablets. Its category on the store is Music, and the listing frames it as a way to explore notes and chords, with songs and mini games aimed at beginners. The app has been around since June 2014, making it the oldest title in this batch.

What it does well

The feature list is practical. It has a full 88 key keyboard that can be shown as a single or dual scrollable layout. The sound menu covers nine options, with a grand piano and a vintage piano alongside the more unusual accordion, harpsichord, harp and plucked cello. You can record your playing and share it, and the description names Creatubbles as a child friendly sharing place.

There are two mini games. Magic Tiles asks you to tap keys beneath falling tiles to play known songs, and Magic Keys is about timing and tempo with random white and black keys. The listing also says the app includes free popular and classic songs and mentions learning chords and reading sheet music.

What the ratings show

The app has a 4.12 average from 1,332,571 ratings and sits at 100,000,000+ installs. 66.9% of ratings are five star and 9.8% are four star. 6.4% are three star, 2.4% are two star, and 14.5% are one star. Roughly one rater in seven gave the lowest score, which is a lot compared with the strongest games here. The last update is listed as 2025-12-24, so this is the least recently updated title in the batch.

Where it falls short

The listing makes broad claims, such as being the only fully realistic instrument learning app, which the data cannot confirm and which should be treated as marketing. It does not say whether any songs, sounds or lessons require payment, whether ads appear, or whether an account is needed. The content rating is Everyone.

Who it suits

This suits a curious beginner or a child who wants to press keys, try different sounds and play along with falling tiles. Someone seeking structured lessons should read the listing carefully, since it does not lay out a course.
