Here are the best of them.
Perfect Piano
What’s great about Perfect Piano is that you can use it in one of two ways: either with the built-in virtual keyboard that has you tapping on your phone’s screen or with a MIDI (musical instrument digital interface) keyboard, such as the Yamaha P105, Roland F-120, or Xkey.

Either way, it offers a fun and accessible way of learning thousands of popular songs on the piano. The app offers the ability to choose different guidance patterns for you to play along to songs with, including traditional sheet music. It also lets you slow down the speed of playback, so you can work your way through songs at your own pace.

Like other apps, Piano lets you learn a number of famous songs, but it also offers a novel way of doing this via its Magic Tiles game, in which virtual tiles fall on the keyboard, indicating which keys to play and when. Ultimately, it may not be quite as exhaustive as other apps, but it’s certainly fun. The full version of the app costs $4 a week or $30 per year, letting you access new songs weekly and more sounds for your virtual keyboard (and removing ads).

Its approach is fairly simple, teaching you how to recognize tones and intervals in any musical key. This is extremely helpful for learning how to work out songs, since as long as you have the right tonic note (i.e., the first note of any given key), the ability to recognize the distinctive tones of other notes will help you crack the rest of the song.
