An error occurred while saving the comment It'd been a few weeks since I used Yousician, and boy was the experience wildly different this time around. (I'm on level 5 on Piano if that matters)
Mkay, so first of all: for an app that bases the teaching on color coding, you really should NOT change the color coding like ever. The change alone messes the connection people have already made in their heads about how colors map to fingers. I feel like I can't play anymore at the moment, and need to retrain the basic songs just to get the mappings to my head. So a big step backwards alone from this angle.
Secondly: some of the colors in the new color scheme are really hard to tell from each other. Again something that should be avoided at all costs if color coding is the core of your app.
And thirdly: while this is subjective, I have to say that the new colors are just esthetically very, very unpleasent. While the earlier bold colors felt pretty natural and neutral, the new pastel'esque palette feels like it's ripped off the walls of a childrens hospital. It doesn't feel like an esthetic enviroment I'd like to spend hopefully hours daily in.
While I've been mostly happy with the app previously, and did willingly pay the higher price for the famous songs, I do have to say that these latest changes have me searching for alternative solutions. Yeah, it's that bad.
After the horrible new colors, this is my pet peeve from the latest version. It really just sucks to have to navigate back&forth with mouse on EVERY.SINGLE.SONG I want to play just to kickoff things with calibration, which I pretty much need to play anything. Really bad UX.
