StaffWars Live App Description & Overview

What is staffwars live app? Built on the success of the original 'StaffWars', StaffWars Live offers game play designed to aid students in instrumental practice. Choose your instrument, key signature, scale and note range, then play the notes that appear on the staff with your instrument to destroy them before they damage you clef. Notes get faster with every ten correct and you get three lives.
Press the "Settings" button to change your instrument, scale, key signature and adjustable note range. All notes are in the instruments' written pitch (i.e. Clarinet in C major would be concert Bb Major)
All your scores are saved when exiting the game, so you can track your improvement. Scales include Major, Major Blues, Minor Blues, Chromatic
Need to practice transposition? StaffWars Live has got you covered. All notes are in the instruments’ written pitch, so you can be a french horn player and select ‘Trumpet' to practice transposing to Bb.
Connect any MIDI device to trigger the game with MIDI.

Note range = from 4 Spaces Below to 4 Spaces Above Clef
Start speed adjustable.

***NOTE*** - Make sure your instrument is in tune prior to playing StaffWars Live. Always play with good attacks and good tone. Game sounds may trigger the pitch detection so it is a good idea to turn your iPhone\iPad volume down while playing with the sound turn on.

Awesome, Fun and addictive. I started using this app with students the day after someone showed it to me! It's a lot of fun. They have major scales, blues in major and minor and chromatic. They need to add minor scales and tenor clef (it has treble, alto and bass clef)

Pretty great game. This is a really neat game. So far I’ve got some good responses from my students. I would like to see the grand staff as an option, well as an option to penalize too many wrong answers. Also preventing the game from wanting treble notes on a bass staff would be helpful- right now if you don’t change the clef in settings that can happen. I look forward to future possibilities with this kind of technology. Only .99 worth it !

Terrible. Every time I play I have to purposely play the wrong notes. For example: to play F# I have to play G. To play B I have to play C#. A,D,G,and high D cannot be used on Alto cleff.

Great... But.... My beginners LOVE this game... But there are issues with Clarinets and Saxophones having concert C registering. Flutes are squirly as well. Not sure what's up... Other than that... Super fun game.

Incorrect for bass clef. This app teaches treble clef right, but it seems to think bass clef has the same pitches on each line/ space that the treble clef does. I can’t use this with my piano students and am very disappointed.

Best thing EVER. It’s fabulous I love it. It’s just right for anyone who needs to practice

Good App for Training. Good app for training. I do have an issue though. After I finish a game, my most recent score is hidden under the headers in the “scores” menu. I wish it accepted Midi. Otherwise good app.

Disappointing. No full piano. No grand staff. No way to work on individual choices of notes. Swipe from bottom doesn’t work. There’s better apps but fixing these few changes could help. Sadly refund time

AWESOME APP. This is a very good app. It is fun, but educational. It has helped me keep my notes memorized and has helped me learn new notes as well. It is MUCH better compared to the regular Staff Wars. It tells you what note your playing when you play it, and you can customize it to your instrument and range of notes. I highly recommend it if you’re having trouble keeping your notes memorized or want to learn new ones.

Great note reading app. I hope you will add a grand staff soon for piano students

Tenor Clef Incorrect. The tenor clef doesn’t seem to work correctly - it’s listening for weird notes, at least on cello. Bass clef works fine. Could use a speed slider to decrease dead time waiting for the next note. Also could use a screen update to use the full height on modern iPhones. Great idea though!

Love it.. The GUI is amazing, and it is really useful for practicing. You can use almost every instrument on it.

Decent app recent problems.. Not working on iPad anymore. Have updated, reloaded, etc. numerous times and no luck.

Best app for learning notes on the staff - HANDS DOWN. If you are a musicteacher, please trust me and just buy this now. This latest take on this "typing tutor" style gamification is yielding almost magic results. I've been teaching piano for over 15 years. The results I've had after two weeks with my students this semester is astounding. In two weeks I have seen multiple students go further than they went in a year in reading.. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to teach or learn to read music for the piano. Before Staff Wars LIVE, the original Staff Wars was my goto for teaching the notes on the staff. It had beaten out LineSpace which had way less cusomization and hadn't updated since 1.0 YEARS ago. By opening up the microphone, makign the text larger and simplifying all of the options while offering more control it went other level. These earlier apps revolutionized teaching note reading. StaffWars Live takes it to an entire other level.

Fun. Great

Sorry, It’s not good!. This app would be awesome if it had one feature! Midi connectivity, but sadly it does not! So, you’re forced to rely on the iPad Mic for note recognition and that’s a huge problem that can be very frustrating! Please fix this app or stop listing it as being the ideal tool for your piano sight reading needs.

It has issues but ok when it works.. I’m not sure if this app is tuned to something other then A=440. I tune my instrument before using the app and I always have to adjust the slider because it’s not picking up the notes correctly. I been playing clarinet for over 20 years. I want to use this app to practice playing bass clarinet in bass clef and to practice transposing Bassoon to Low C bass. My main issue is the following: When practicing reading bass clarinet on Bass clef the notes are not correct. In bass clef the first space is an A. In treble clef the first space is an F. When the mode is set to bass clarinet with bass clef. The first space is still reading an F which is not correct. Therefore this mode is completely useless. If I set the settings to bass clarinet treble clef it works as expected but I have no use for that. I already know how to read treble clef. If the developer can fix that would be great. Also having a slider to select A=440 or A=442 or something else depending where you are in the world would be great.

Great app. Is there a way of only learning the line notes on the staff?

Amazing app!. We just bought this for our instrumental music students at my school, best money we've spent all year! I've never seen kids so excited to practice note reading! They come in and open it up and start playing as soon as they come into class. Highly recommend this if you teach music!

Staff wars review. Staff wars live is a very helpful app that is really helping that is helping me to learn trumpet!

Goes beyond any expectations. This app is truly taking 'reading notes' to the next level. I absolutely love that the 'side effect' of this game is being able to read notes. Some of my students told me after trying it out during the lesson that they practiced it every day without me even asking. The idea of the app is simple but VERY effective. It sure makes my job as a guitar teach much easier, as now I have more time to focus on other things. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Crashes upon opening. I used this just last week, it now every time I try to open it, it crashes before loading. I tried restarting my iPad, and I even reinstalled the app. Nothing has helped.

Needs piano. Great app; piano is not one of the instrument choices. I hope they will add it soon!

Staff wars is the best. Staff wars more like Star Wars

App Crashes. This app crashes with my phone every time I run it. I’m running iOS 12.4.2 on an iPhone XS. Disappointing because I enjoyed using this app for my students!

So helpful. Helped with sight reading a lot

Great but treble clef is broken. This game is really cool and helpful I love it. But the treble clef doesn’t pick up any sound

Does not recognize many tones on my digital piano. I bought a YAMAHA YDP-144 for my son recently, and in order to improve his staff reading, I just installed the StaffWars alive on my iPad. However, the app can only recognize several tones like the middle C, but it does not recognize many others in the treble staff (we only tried the C major treble staff). We are pretty sure we played the correct key, but the balls just keep moving to the end to destroy the clef. It’s so frustrating!

Has potential but needs improvement. I love the concept, but for some reason it does a poor job of recognizing the notes, oftentimes I have to press the same note (Yamaha digital piano) several times before the correct reading registers, which can be frustrating. Would be a great tool if it worked as intended though.

Booooo. This is very boring and takes forever.

Doesn’t really work on iPad Air iOS 12.4. Something is either wrong with the app or with this iPads microphone because no matter what octave or how loud my keyboard is this app registers the notes about 30% of the time.

Works with double bass. UPDATE: it DOES work with bass! Select “bass guitar” in settings! Thanks! Old review: It gets the octave wrong on my double bass, pizzicato. Doesn’t pick up the notes with a bow. Most tuners get it right, so not sure why this is an issue. It would be nice to have an “octave forgiveness” option so that it accounts for software’s misinterpretation of the octave I’m playing

Worst app ever. I very strongly dislike this app because it does not even work

EPPPPPIIIIC. It great epic

Issues. This app doesn’t seem to be working for me. I can see the notes on the screen but the app or the iPad is not picking up the notes that I am playing at all.

Great Teaching Tool. My daughter is in beginning band and Staff Wars was instrumental in helping her learn to read music. Staff Wars Live has made it fun for her to take it to the next level, now she can read the music and play the correct note without having to think about it. To her, having to practice using Staff Wars Live is like being asked to play a video game for homework. Great app!

Great App, Just Really Hard. Okay, okay, yes, this a good app for practicing your notes and getting better, but, once you get over 30, it gets REALLY HARD you try to think what the note is, but, when you found out what the note is, 30 + you already missed a note, and, once you get to 40+ you only get 5 seconds, and it’s really hard to concentrate, this app also made me mentally in pain, and I believe that “ I cannot do this “ and caused me cry, please make this app a LITTLE bit easier, it’ll help a lot. Thanks!

Best note reading app!. I went from not being able to read music to having familiarity and increasing my speed and fluency in a week. This app, including the original one, are fun and work! I still have a long way to go, but this app helped me overcome a big hurdle.

Doesn’t recognize piano notes. What a waste of time and money

Sensors Don’t Work. Sensors don’t always detect key

Amazing game. For those who don’t know how to play piano on this, it’s the Trouble Cleff or one of the Cleffs it’s very good to play on the clarinet piano guitar violin. This is my only way of practicing and whenever I forget how to play an instrument of mine, I do this game and then I go to my music book good at the game with this certain instrument of mine. P.S.for those add haters there’s no ads because it is for learning and only learning music and I really think it’s an amazing game. You guys should really get it. It’s worth the money to.

Good but is incorrect. A good app, but whenever I hit my mallets it says my notes are wrong. I know they are right.

Amazing. Definetly worth the money

FUN GAME. Any key you pick. It will show up. It’s really fun.

Piano teacher. I play correct notes before they reach the clef but the notes still explode at the clef. I named lots of correct notes earlier and the game counted those. I don’t know what to adjust for success. I tried googling for help with no luck! Very frustrating!

App is frozen and won’t launch. We purchased and downloaded this app for iPad and it will not even launch quick start or allow us to open settings. Very disappointing as it was recommended by my child’s music teacher.

Good but a bit faulty. Staff wars is not the best app ,you should improve it because I played trombone and it did not respond to every note so I think you should improve it and if you did it would be a great app. Age 10

There is a bug in the game. When I play A E it makes me get it wrong

Staff wars. It’s just the perfect app to practice my sight reading

Good motivation. I have to adjust the clef in the setting in order to get the game to respond the pitch played/sang. Just choosing different clefs on the start screen doesn’t work at all. However, this pedagogical game is really innovative and creative and fun. It also doesn’t recognize very well out of tune notes, so it’s a great way to train a student to sing, blow or play the note accurately and in tune in an instant.

Very good app. I have a baritone and I just select the trombone section. It works the same. Very good app!

Good but couple tuning issues. I haven’t been able to get this to work with glockenspiel. The overtones also sometimes blow up subsequent notes. Sometimes notes don’t register. It all in all, my students have great fun playing it.

What about double bass. Was so excited to get this app and try it out with a struggling bass student...only to find it won’t work as they are playing an octave lower than written. Any chance of an upgrade/update for transposing instruments? Then I’d give it 5 stars!!

Awesome. This is a really helpful,

Great for everyone. I love it,but in settings you have to change to treble cleft

StaffWars. Worst app ever

Pretty good. I luv this app I use it with my viola and euphonium it is really fun but the negitive (not about the app) is that when my keys are sticky and I have a really good score I have to stop it to oil my key(s) and then I lose my score! 😎 👍🏻!

Rookies. Awesome

Great work. I love this app. It is great for students and I will use it with mine. Why don't the clef's work? If I have set it to a treble reading instrument it reads in treble even if I touch another clef. This needs fixing as some advanced students and players may want to play their instrument in different clefs.

StaffWars game. Staff wars is the best! Who ever made this game thank you

Good for cello and violin. It helps us really improve on our sight reading skills. It’s really fun. My top score is 137. Mine is 129. 9 year old and 7 year old review. Thank you!

Terrible. I hate it I just don’t get it!😫😖😣👿

Fwest’s Reveiws. Really great. I’ve gone from a basic trumpet player to quite good in a few weeks.

Thank you. I love this app because it has so much fun things to do and helps me learn violen.

Great app!. We use it for practising trumpet. What setting should be used for mini bassoon in F? Thanks!

Staff wars live review. It is a pretty good game it works with most instruments and is good for learning to read

Doesn't recognise notes I play. I've tried using this app with a tuned guitar and it does not recognise any notes that I play. It has access to my microphone, but it's not working.

New notes. Thanks for the new notes, came as a pleasant surprise during practice.

Staff Wars is the best piano game in the whole world. Staff Wars DS

Bass clef doesn't work?. I use this as a sight reading tool for my piano students. They've bought it too. But bass clef doesn't work???

Good but would like a couple of improvements. I use this with my guitar students and find it effective, although there are a couple of shortcomings. firstly, for treble clef, it only goes as low as a G, however for guitar it really needs to extend down to E (the open sixth string). Secondly, for some reason the graphic for B below the first ledger line seems a bit misaligned (not a big deal, but off-putting, and could be fixed). Overall, it works well and students’ sight-reading improves quite quickly. Most kids of the iPad generation are quite keen to use it.

Plz add more instruments!!!!!!. I have a glockenspiel and a piano and both are not on there!!!!!! And i need to practice my sight reading! For a concert that i have soon! So plz add glockenspiel and piano on there!😡🤬🤬🤬😡🤬

Far too easy. This app is a great idea for learning to read your notes... But I would REALLY like to see a "difficulty" option in the settings... Like having the notes fly at the clef a different speeds. PLEASE add this feature in the near future and I would be happy to change my rating! :D

Bass clef doesn’t respond. The treble clef is working pretty well, I don’t know why the bass clef doesn’t have any response to the sound even I played right keys
