I don't understand the praise it's getting.

If I'm shown a keyboard I expect to click it and make sound (thanks, MYST). This does nothing.

The only instructions "e.g. Cm7b5" means nothing to me. I can only assume its target market is the people that understand whatever this notation is, in which case they don't need to learn.

FAIL.

That's rather dismissive. I'd say if you don't understand the praise, you aren't the target audience, not that it's a terrible product.

I don't know/play piano. I know the basic music theory behind the notation. I think this tool is great.

This tool appears to be aimed at piano noobs with some music background.
