Sight Reader is a sheet music sight reading training game for Windows Phone 7. The game will display notes on a staff at random and the object of the game is to correctly identify the notes using either the piano keys or the note letters. Sight Reader features a 36-key mini virtual piano with real piano sounds and three different difficulty levels for testing your skills.

You can find Sight Reader on the Windows Phone Marketplace for Windows Phone 7.

   John, I like your app so much, but I’m unable to buy it because of Microsoft – most products of the store are not available in my region? What can be done? And by the way will it work with HTC Mozart? I really, really need your app. Thanks and hope to hear from you soon.

   Sergey – I’ve had a few similar reports, some people have gotten around that restriction by creating a Live account in the UK or Germany and using that to buy the app I think. Also, the app will definitely work on HTC Mozart – as well as any other Windows Phone.

   John, I’ve already tried that method you suggested, but it doesn’t work – i’m unable to add my credit card information into my account, probably because it detects my IP, I don’t know, it shows error. The same thing happens when I’m trying to add it using my phone although long time ago I’ve registered US account to be able to try GTA IV (it requires windows live account). Maybe it’s possible to send you the money directly, to Paypal account for example?

   Unfortunately I don’t know of any way that you can get the application – even if you were to send money via Paypal, there is no way to load the application onto your device without using the Marketplace. Sorry.

   John, I tried method you described, I even asked my friend in US to register an account and to add credit card for me, but when i try to buy it says “add credit card” although I DO HAVE it on file (!!!) then if I add that card which is already added, it says “you already have this card on file, add another one”, when I add another one, it says “we cannot authorize this payment”. THIS IS JUST INSANE!!! I tried FOUR cards that WORK, but it doesn’t work with god damn Microsoft!!!!
   I’m already ready to get rid of that stupid phone with stupidest OS i’ve ever seen, please tell me what can be done??

   John, maybe you could do something like personal link for me to install your software?

   I’m sorry, there is just no way to even do that. It’s not possible.

   I will likely create a free, ad-supported version of the application though very soon – by the end of January at the latest. Hopefully you will be able to download this version of the app.
