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..
It was a bad experience.The app was slow to download, and when tuning it wasn't listening to guitar even when I said it can use microphone. Don't recommend app I could use tutorials than this low level thing.
It's not good at all. It's stuck at 60% for me in the first stage and gives an error. It's not good at all.
yeah the sound recognition is very bad, and makes the all really useless
I was looking for a guitar app, but click after click tap after tap they all cost money, when I had specifically search FREE guitar app. Then I came across "Simply Guitar", I thought it was too good to be true and well ai was right it was. I spent about 15 minutes playing as a beginer, and genuinely enjoying it. But then as I feard it happend there I was I had just fineshed a lesson and it said go premium. it wouldn't let me go on. Premium means above average, if it is the only way it is not.
it made my guitar string break im bleeding rn
sucks can't even play doesn't even hear my chords
forces you to go on horizontal view only, most of the onboarding buttons are unreachable - below the fold and no scroll so you can't finish the onboarding, no support available anywhere. I'm tired of people building apps they don't use themselves.
expensive
nah
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.
This app was so fun and easy for learning guitar! It doesnt go too fast or too slow and there's absolutely no interrupting ads! Yet Im kind of disappointed that I cant play any songs or continue on the courses without a membership, that part really annoys me, like why would I continue with something that's going to force me to pay for something that I shouldn't be paying for, no one can put a price on knowledge but these guys somehow found a way to make me just want to use youtube again.
