This is a scam
I signed up for a free trial and tried to cancel but couldn’t figure out how because they make it really difficult to see where. So, within one hour of seeing that it charged me $170, I contacted apple to get a refund and they said I wasn’t eligible. I hate companies that, instead of creating a quality product, scam people. 10/10 would not recommend.
It says it’s better than my lessons but it’s not
I was playing all the correct notes but kept on saying I was wrong, and mind u it was all open notes but it still kept saying I messed up over and over again.
Don’t get scammed
This was supposed to be a free trial and they will charge you the second you sign up. And it is really bad at teaching..
HOW ARE YOU GONNA TEACH ME ONE THING THEN MAKE ME PAY FOR THE REST
1 STAR
Totally useless
I just wanted to practice scales. This thing just wanted my money.
omg
you guys made my string pop off and brake bro. 6777 🥹
Free?
It charge me $149.99 for 1 month free. After one day trial, I don’t like the product but I don’t know when the $149.99 will back! I have canceled the subscription.
I don’t recommend getting just get an A real violin teacher
All the songs besides 4 cost money and it want you to buy premium as soon as you open the app.
Bad mic
It doesint catch the tuning of my voilen
Useless
I started taking lessons a couple of months ago. I thought this would be a fun way to get in some extra practice. The app does not play the songs through beforehand. If you try to use without headphones, it doesn’t recognize your instrument. Just a total no from me.
Worst
It’s hard because you have to pay for premium
This is stupid
This app is stupid doesn’t listen well (I play the correct nots but then it shows as if I’m playing 10 notes higher
Trial is not free
This advertises a trial period where you agree to pay the entire annual amount of $149.99 if not canceled before trial period ends. However, access is denied the second you cancel your subscription even though the trial period has not expired. It shows that my free trial expires in 7 days but I cannot access until I agree AGAIN to pay the $149.99- the full year in advance.
DO NOT BUY
It broke my violin and my dad is ABOUT To KiL ME WHITH BELD I FELL SAD FOR My VIOLIN
Good but a broke my E string
Because of its application it told me to tighten the string of the E of my violin and it broke for tightening it and it was being what it told me and now I'm missing the E on my violin
Bad
This app do not download it’s so bad literally I can’t to my violin and broke my violin like the strings fell down it is not teach you anything it’s just a waste of storage do not download do not recommend
You literally need premium for everything
So I started the first one was free, but all the other ones were for premium. All the songs are for premium. I can't believe it.
Don’t get this app
I’m new to this app and it’s horrible and I don’t recommend this app it keeps making random notes I don’t even play and it doesn’t explain where each note string is and there’s lots of issues with each video.
This is terrible
You have to pay premium just to to go to the second and more lessons. The only ones that’s free is the first lesson. This is weird. I try to go on this app. It was my favorite until my number two lesson of the different like the bow like where you use the bow, I hated it so much when I paid premium. You did a good good review but I do not recommend looking at that because I hate that about what I did that was I said that was awesome. It’s terrible, I really don’t recommend this to you guys premium like this game. This was supposed to be free. I’m gonna give this as zero stars if I can if you guys don’t wanna pay just don’t go onto this app and try to find another app because this. Goodbye guys have a good life thank you for listening to this review. I really don’t recommend this app. It’s really not helpful if you wanna buy.
Nope
Your not
Good you do not listen to my son play he got frustrated with you
Good you do not listen to my son play he got frustrated with you
Seriously????? 😒
This app can’t get more than 2 stars. You know why? Cuz when I was trying to play a song, it said I got all notes wrong and I’m like “What?!” I played all the notes correctly but it said a whole different thing. If this doesn’t revive the good work, I will delete this app, don’t get this if you want to learn violin correctly
Two days into my son’s 7-day trial; requested cancellation but no response
Why doesn’t the app allow an easy interface to cancel the subscription? Why don’t you guys respond by immediately honoring the request to cancel? Stop making it difficult for customers to try out your trial if that’s what you really intend to do.
Bad
App crashes like it’s the first year apps were invented
Does not work
Made it even worse
Why I don’t like it
Tells you the wrong stuff when tuning and can make you break strings
Why are most things premium?
I enjoyed the basics, i’m a beginner violin player. However the rest of the lesson are premium which require money.. i mean the app is okay i just dont like how everything is premium
I kinda feel uncomfortable about the ai thumbnails
Ok listen I know I hate ai but I prefer real violin teachers
Everything is premium.🤦🏽♀️
It has good songs to learn but EVERY SONG I want to play is premium like I don’t want premium just let me find a song AND LEARN it not pay for it. I do not recommend.
Money
The teaching is good but too poor to get premium to continue
Premium
As someone who has played 2 years in school for free this sucked I couldn’t play any songs unless I bought premium. Which is something I cannot do. I enjoy playing music but I wish I could find a app that would just let me play for free.
App doesn’t pick up sound well
