Piano From Above vs Synthesia opinions
you can import any song and learn it without the price
its fun and i like piano
It is very versatile and is easy to use. Unlike synthesia you can sort songs easily and find them in a large list. The keyboard can be set to show 128 keys which synthesia does not let you do. The only complaint would be that you can change the speed of a song but it won't stay that way.
It's Free And It's Better

It's music composition software, not a tool for learning how to play songs on the piano.

Although it is only for Mobile devices or tablets, It is free, contains a similar interface to that of synthesia, has multiplayer live, and you can choose to play between your device's touchscreen or MIDI keyboard.. Downside to this is that it lags a bit and does not support a pedal connection with a MIDI input...
