I would suggest piano maestro. It’s what I use and I’m pretty sure it’s less expensive compared to simply piano. I have also heard really good stuff about simply piano so both of those are good. I’m just more familiar with piano maestro. Hope this helps. 😊

Also, I’m sure you’ve heard this before but practice makes perfect.

I’ve been playing for 5 years, and I don’t use any apps but I recommend just printing a sheet out or buying a piano book to learn notes and all that if you haven’t already learned the basics 👍

I use Musescore a lot. Some arrangements are better than others but they're pretty good. Plus, you are able to play the measure so I find that helpful. You have to pay a subscription to print it out but viewing the whole sheet is free

A tip that I have is not to worry too much about being able to play everything you just start a song. When I practice, I try not to worry about the real tempo at first and start off slow. When I get the hang of it then I increase the speed. Don't get discouraged if you can't get it the first time because honestly same. Warmups are also helpful (I have a book called Hanon and there are many exercises, you can find it free online as well). This will help more w ur finger mobility and strength the fifth finger as well. And last but not least, don't be able of having wrist movement, make sure you are not too stiff. Good luck!!!

I took lessons as a kid and still play now and then even though I'm not good, but Musescore is a great place to get free sheet music for mostly anything, since I think it's a lot easier to stay motivated when you have music you're exited to play.
