Startone MK-200

I'm just learning basic piano / keyboards and purchased the Startone MK-200 Bundle . The package arrived packed well without any damage and keyboard functions perfect for myself . The only con to this review would have been volume , I would have liked it to be louder , the volume is okay for home practice but I thought it would be a little more louder. I'm thinking of purchasing a keyboard amp.

I bought this to self teach myself piano using some apps like simplypiano and flowkey. The MIDI never really worked, it would connect and work for a minute of playing or so and then stop playing. Tested it on 2 android phones and a laptop. None reported a disconnect just the notes would stop coming in. I reached out to Thomann support about it and they basically told me to buy a better keyboard.

On the sound side, there usually was some static coming from the speakers which other reviews have mentioned was normal. I tried using the piano apps in audio listening mode but it seemed some keys sounded slightly off and were misheard often on both simplypiano and flowkey so it made it hard to progress without the MIDI and sound working properly

So this keyboard would be fine for playing around with but wouldn't recommend it if you wish self teach with piano apps like I did
