Computer programs can't give you the feedback that you need as a piano student.
Sure, most software can tell whether you pressed the right or wrong note. There is so much more to playing the piano than just pressing the right keys at the right time.How do you play? How is your technique? How is your expression? How are your dynamics?
All things a piece of software isn't going to pick up on, thus providing you with no feedback on crucial aspects of what it means to learn the piano.Getting a real, live teacher is the best way to learn, even with all the smartphones, social media, and apps that we have in this day and age. I'm so bored of these kinds of replies. Would a real, human teacher be ideal?

Anything that gets a person playing an instrument and making music is a beautiful thing. Saying to people condescending things about how 'computers can't do X, Y, Z' is almost elitist, but absolutely condescending.
Nobody needs music-learning arbiters to step in and tell people what they want to do is wrong, especially new people who are generally shy about music and, also, especially, when most instrumental teachers spend 3 god damned months and by the end of it all you know is Hot Crossed Buns and how to sit up straight.

And I agree to what you say. I found out that apps, help me understand rythms and notes on the keyboards. I think it is a great way to start playing, when you don't have a teacher. Although it should be limited in that, not to develop bad habits for the more complex pieces, that is why you need a teacher. Now I completely stopped using apps.
But only for reading.To you question, Neonmantis, I would recommend, piano marvel(windows, mac, OS x), or Piano tutor on ipad. These are great. I've started learning to play piano.The first month I tried a few software systems: Playground sessions and Musiah. I used each one for a few weeks and quickly asked for my money back. I felt that they missed teaching fundamentals or were geared towards very young learners. The expectation was to mimic a few simple songs and then pick up the music theory later on. I didn't like that.I finally went with a book that covers things in a way that makes sense to me.I am using Alfred's Adult all in one and there is a guy on YouTube that covers each lesson with good instruction and tips.Here is the link:I also hired a tutor who I meet with every two weeks, just to make sure I'm not picking up bad habits.
