★★★★ _Twm Mst 5/9/2026 v5.30.0
nothing but technical problems
★★★★ Andre Santa Maria 5/9/2026 v5.30.0
I do not want to do a stupid onboarding thing, I already know how to play. Don't need to be forced into a introduction tutorial that takes a few years to complete. Ruined the experience as I just want to use the tab music, not learn how to pluck a single open string for 5 minutes.
★★★★ Raghav 5/7/2026 v5.29.1
I despise the shady business practice of "premium plus". I get the point of locking a little bit content behind premium plus, but it feels like 90 percent of app is useless to me unless I go for the highest tier. I cancelled it on the first day I subscribed to your premium. good job devs
★★★★ KUNDAN SHRIVASTAV 5/6/2026 v5.29.1
don't download this app worst experience*
★★★★ Bah Bah 5/6/2026 v5.29.1
best

i swear..... what are you even doing with this app? i heard it was free but its not? atleast make the membership cheaper. i am a 11 year old and i have a mom who owes me like 3000 rupees but i cant just speand too much of it here. I was having an amazing experience at the starting and thought it was a very good app but? oh hell NAW
★★★★ Dragon Gamix 5/2/2026
I used to use this app all the time until everything was locked behind premium you cant even play songs or complete lessons without premium horrible app
★★★★ Chris Heggie 5/2/2026 v5.29.1
Charged me despite being a free trial. fraud.
★★★★ Esa Tunggal (Esa) 5/1/2026 v5.29.1
bad registration
★★★★ Trung HOÀNG 5/1/2026 v5.29.1
I played with the highest note but it count as the lowest note 🤬🤬🤬
★★★★ Emilee Heninger 4/29/2026 v5.29.1
Without a membership you basically can't do anything anymore, just tune your guitar. I recently rejoined the app only to learn my favorite songs (that used to be free) were locked and lessons are limited to videos without actual playing practice.
★★★★ PENNY LAZAROU (WONDER WOMAN 59) 4/29/2026
must pay
★★★★ Susnee Music 4/28/2026
no fun and poor quality
★★★★ Paige 4/26/2026
paywall behind literally everything else besides the beginning. I got through that first part fast and I was furious to see that everything else costs money. unless someone else can find a way, I'm keeping this review.
★★★★ Roseane Suelen 4/25/2026 v5.29.1
Não dá para usar mais sem ser premium, todas as músicas são pagas agora.
★★★★ Gilang Zahra12 4/25/2026
Please return my money of Rp 653.790,00 I accidentally bought it and I feel like I didn't press to subscribe please to the developer of this app to refund my money
★★★★ Collin 4/24/2026 v5.29.1
for some reason they got rid of some artists and songs, even the ones that are dmca free, just kinda shady
★★★★ Abi Edwards 4/22/2026 v5.29.1
it was telling me to tune my guitar and guess what IT BROKE MY GUITAR
★★★★★ Aditya Jambhulkar 5/6/2026 v5.29.1

★★★★★ AC Jadraque 4/30/2026
good app but everything is premium
★★★★★ Cadin Zain 4/23/2026 v5.29.1
bro... I alr doing chord C and D but not readed
★★★★★ eliza 4/23/2026 v5.29.1
whats the point of using the app to learn your favorite songs if all the songs are locked by a paywall?? other than that, it's okay
★★★★★ Lewis 4/20/2026 v5.29.1
Bit silly of the app to ask your playing level then immediately try to teach you the basics. Like I did all that 20 years ago. I'm not doing it now.
