Is Simple Sheet good for learning to read sheet music?

What's the difference between Simple Sheet and Lead Sheet?

Simple Sheet shows a more streamlined, horizontally scrolling view with color-coded notes on a staff and lyrics below — like a simplified version of real sheet music. Lead Sheet shows melody with chord symbols above and full lyrics. Simple Sheet is the next step toward reading traditional notation.
