Does Skoove have any mode to allow "untimed" correction of a whole piece?

I got a 3-month Skoove trial with my Roland keyboard and have been assessing it. One thing I can't find that is present in other apps (Simply Piano, Piano Marvel), is a way for it to show correct or incorrect notes when playing the entire piece "in your own time".

By this, I mean being able to play through the entire piece without a metronome or automatic playback / accompaniment, and to see when incorrect notes are played.

Both Simply Piano and Piano Marvel have this ability, and I find this very useful to work through the entire piece (slowly) so that I can see my own mistakes. Piano Marvel allows has a "practice" mode that also allows you to select a section of the piece and play left-hand, right-hand, or both. If you make a mistake it shows it and you can't proceed until you play the right notes.

Skoove has an option to "View Full Score', but it has no interactivity at all...it's just showing the score but not detecting or correcting keyboard input in any way. The closest thing is the final "Play in Time" page for each piece, which has a "feedback" option to show errors, but there is no obvious option of automatically stopping playback if you make a mistake...it just ploughs onward until you stop playback completely.

Adding a metronome or playback (even at at very reduced tempo) adds too much extra pressure when trying to play back a piece that is well above one's sight-reading level, and I would like the option of working it about without time pressure, before trying to play it in time.

As it stands, Skoove is the least complete (in terms of features) of the apps I have tried (Simply Piano, Piano Marvel, Flowkey), although the course structure is actually quite good and it allows you to jump into any lesson without restriction (which Simply Piano does not).
