Using Note & Key on Android

Note & Key is on Google Play. Teachers can run the studio from an Android phone or tablet, and students and parents can record practice and read your feedback from theirs. It is the same account as the iPhone app and the web, so nothing has to be moved.

Common questions

Is there a Note & Key app for Android?

Yes. Note & Key is on Google Play for Android phones and tablets. It is the same account as the iPhone app and noteandkey.app, so you can switch between devices freely.

What can't I do on Android compared with the iPhone app?

Almost nothing. Assignments, practice recordings, timestamped feedback, the schedule, lesson notes, invoicing, Google Calendar sync, exam tracking and the family view are the same on both. The differences are small: on Android you sign in with Google or email rather than Sign in with Apple, and a subscription bought in the app goes through Google Play instead of the App Store.

Can students record practice from an Android phone?

Yes. They open the assignment, record, listen back and send the take they're happy with. You review it with the same waveform and timestamped comments, and they can tap any comment to play from that moment.

Does it work offline?

No. Note & Key needs a connection, because everything is stored in your account rather than on the device. That is also why your studio is intact on any phone, tablet or computer you sign in from.

I've been using Note & Key in Chrome. Do I lose anything by switching to the app?

No. Your studio lives in your account, not on the device. Install the app, sign in with the same email or Google account, and your students, lessons, invoices and recordings are already there. If you added the site to your home screen earlier, you can remove that shortcut.
