Simply, an educational app developer helping users learn guitar, singing, and drawing has launched its latest app, and its first for Samsung’s latest device.

Simply Piano for Galaxy XR
Originally created for the Apple Vision Pro, Simply Piano is now available on the Google Store for free.
Using Galaxy XR’s mixed reality functionality, Simply Piano overlays highlights onto keys to guide users, making for an intuitive experience. If you don’t have a keyboard or piano to hand, the app supplies a virtual keyboard so you can continue to practice. And as you might expect, there is an AI element involved, delivering real-time AI feedback.
“Playing music is one of the most deeply human experiences there is, and we believe technologies like augmented reality could act as a driver for that pursuit – elevating our inherent capacity to create,” said Yuval Kaminka, Co-Founder and CEO of Simply, in a statement. “We’re using these immersive tools to remove the friction of learning the piano and to dial up the fun, giving more people a glimpse of what’s possible when technology truly serves humanity. It’s a meaningful step on our ongoing journey to make creative hobbies simple and fun for everyone -an immersive, inspiring way for more people to experience the joy of being creative.”
How to Simply Learn
As mentioned, this is just the latest in a long line of apps from Simply. The company has developed several popular apps, including Simply Guitar, Simply Sing, Simply Draw, and Simply Piano.
Hopefully, this will be the first of many educational apps for Galaxy XR from Simply. As Eliran Douenias, Head of Product Innovation, notes: “We’re excited to bring the same vision and creative potential to Google’s newly minted augmented reality ecosystem, and we believe this is just the beginning of broader opportunities to make creative expression more fun and engaging through technology.”
What Does 2026 Hold for Galaxy XR?
When the Samsung Galaxy XR arrived in late 2025, we were excited to finally see an Apple Vision Pro competitor. Not only was the headset cheaper, but it was also powered by Android XR, offering an easy path for developers to port. While not specifically designed for gaming, the launch saw over 30 games arrive for the headset, including a couple of exclusives.
Since then, further news has been limited. There has been no mention of the headset during CES this week. And few studios have revealed projects other than Simply.
