I made a piano app for android smartwatches! (streamable.com)

Hello everyone,

I made a free piano app for all WearOS devices. Mostly for fun and personal use, but was a good opportunity to learn some Kotlin.

100% free, no ads, no in-app purchases or permissions. Just really wanna share it in case someone finds it interesting or useful.

You can check a 20 sec demo clip in the URL.

Please let me know what you think or what features I should add!

(Unfortunately the app is not public yet as Google requires an initial testing phase, but the testing is open and if you are interested it's a matter of joining a google group and then clicking on a direct playstore link. See below).

Edit:

Google group: https://groups.google.com/g/watch-piano-closed-testing

Thanks!

Joined the group and downloaded it to my Galaxy Watch 4 Classic - it works great! I could see this being especially useful for getting a starting pitch in choir, for example. Do you know if it's possible to register two simultaneous inputs? Like to play chopsticks or something? Also could be cool to be able to change which octave the notes are in. Very impressive! 😃

Thanks!

Yes, for me it's useful to quickly find notes in a pinch, or figure out what key a song is.

Octaves and more sounds are definitely coming! The two touches I'm still investigating, but google maps on the watch accepts a pinch move, so theoretically it should be possible.

(Also if it's not asking too much, consider keeping the app installed for a few weeks please! Google will only allow the app to get out of testing and go public if I conduct the testing phase with a minimum number of users who keep the app continuously installed for that time. And thank you again!)

Will do, and my pleasure!
