I tried tuning my guitar but I kept saying it was low or to high even though it was in the box.
faulty sound system, never picks up a single note however loud i play it
terrible
I COULDNT TUNE IT
annoying
it so bad
Crashes when it tries to download content.
had to uninstall very quickly. the start is truly promising but the fact that you only get a little bit of a taste before you have to pay is disappointing. add to that the fact that you have to pay upfront for a year, note recognition is bad, and people who do pay for the premium say they run out of lessons? yeah no, I'm out.
this app can not get accurate sound it says I'm out of tune and I've been playing guitar for 50 years and this app sucks
when ever I played the guitar It would never listen and it would always go back to the start especially when I tried to tune it 1 star never doing this again
I'm stuck at the tune string section, why is it so hard to move to the next one like what do you want!? how the hell can I achieve the perfect tune in the middle or else i cant go to the next course like not everything has to be perfect it just string checking mine even not that bad omg please fix this or we can just skip this pls!! i was so invested in this app..
It broke my guitar
mic do es not work
it sucks because it's not letting me be able to play any songs because all you care about is money even though my family is poor
tuning sucks tuned 4 times still won't pass me to the next thing no progress
Doesn't even work whenever I speak. It counts as me plucking the string.
umm.. if it would load i might have used it.. duh..
After subscription, I couldn't login on my laptop, it's bringing sign up page though I have used the email to pay subscription. when using the app it doesn't pick the sound correctly even ordinary footsteps will be picked as correct sound I cancelled subscription after 3days and I didn't receive any notification about refunding payment as promised (7days) I only received notification of date it's going to expire (30days) if you are not ready to forgo a month subscription don't try it
every time I play it doesn't play the note on the app and Ive been here for 10 minutes trying to get past this level and because it can't record my phone audio it doesn't work
it doesn't detect any mistakes. i was playing "where did you sleep last night" while it said i needed to play Em and A9 (i think) and then i just played everything open and it said it was correct. just take actual guitar lessons, not gelpful at all.
it makes me rage¡!!!!!!!!!!
was good tell it wouldn't teach me any more because I didn't have premium 😭
it's AMAZING at first until it tricks you...you have to pay after the first half of the first lesson so if it didn't do that automatically a five star because helped so clearly and fun but it's not so fun if you have to pay 12.99 a month to learn a skill? like no so two stars it is 😡
I was fluent with the frets in a days worth but u have to pay with that's why I gave it two stars.
you cant do anything unless you have premium what a waste of time.
