Usually yes — as long as you have not deleted the app. Paths, jams, and settings stay on your device. App Store updates normally keep them.
There is no cloud backup yet. Deleting the app clears all local saves on that device. Reinstalling will not bring them back.
| Name | What it keeps | Share as |
|---|---|---|
| My paths | Chord path + key + tempo + drums (not an audio file) | Card image (PNG) via system Share |
| Jam | A performance you can replay in the app | Audio file via system Share |
Both live on your device. Save a path from Build; find it on the Paths tab. Record a Jam on Play or Build, then save to the Jam library. When you tap Share, iOS opens the usual sheet (Messages, Mail, Files, AirDrop…) — we do not upload that file for you.
Not yet as automatic cloud sync. Paths stay on this device — use Export paths on the Paths tab to keep a backup file, then Import on another device.
One purchase per Apple account covers your household with Family Sharing. We do not add a separate “max 3 devices” lock.
Free to download on the App Store. You get 7 full days to try everything — the same features as after purchase.
After the trial, a one-time purchase unlocks the app permanently (not a subscription). Family Sharing lets one household buy once.
The app will show how many trial days are left once it ships on the App Store, so you are not surprised on day 8. Your paths and jams stay on your device after you buy.
Heavy kick on small speakers is common. Try headphones, or lower drum volume in More → Sound.
Play, MIDI, and saves live in the app. This site is for intro, Help, and Privacy.
No. PianoAnyway is a tool for accompanying, transpose, and making sound first — not a graded lesson subscription or falling-notes game.
Whether you already know some music or you are just starting to explore, adults and kids can share the same bench — play at your own pace, and use paths as sparks for arranging or song ideas.
No licensed song library. Templates are common progression shapes (like 1–5–6m–4), not an official chart for a specific hit.
The same path can show as numbers, solfege, or letters. Transpose keeps the path; letters follow the new key.
No. Blue keys are a guide, not an exam. A few chord tones are enough. Gold edges are safer notes to explore. If the stretch feels wide, try 15 / 13 / 135 or an inversion.
Light mini-games for your ear — hear a chord or pick by feel. Not a ranked exam, and nothing is uploaded.
No. Paths and jams stay on your device. Full text: Privacy.
