Wasn’t letting me play!

I’m giving this app 1 star review because I tried logging in 4+ times and it wasn’t letting me play my guitar! APP NOT RECOMMENDED!

Will not let me back on after I have deleted it

I signed in but then I deleted it because I had to do some work on my iPhone so then after I redownloaded then when I tryed to download it it said this email is already registered in the please give me some sort of information so I can get back on to it

Ok

It is ok but when I play the same note that it says fore me to play it says Ian doing it wrong and I did toun the guitar

Not free

$155 a year after trial.
I understand that apps like this cost money to develop, but you need to be more upfront about the subscription charges.
This was initially advertised as a free app.

Response from developer

Thank you for trying out our app during the trial period. We understand your concern about the subscription cost, but we believe that our app provides excellent value for money considering the quality of lessons and features we offer. We strive to provide an affordable and effective way for users to learn and improve their guitar skills. If you have any further feedback or suggestions, please feel free to let us know.

Not bad

I love it I just don’t like when it teaches me how to tune because I know how to and it takes a long time

Response from developer

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts! We're glad to hear that you love our app. We understand that the tuning lesson might not be necessary for you, but we include it for beginners who are still learning. We appreciate your feedback and hope you continue to enjoy using our app!

Needs work

I was on the lesson and when I played the correct string on the correct fret (before someone says it’s a user error I triple checked that I was playing the right thing and I was) it said that it was wrong and when I played a bunch of random muffled notes it said “great job” and I moved on.

Auto Charged for Subscription

I tried for a few days and got charged for $130+ for the year 😩
I tried reaching out for refund to explain I did not mean or want to purchase, but have had no luck.

Please provide refund as I have not used since the first few days.

Hi there, Thanks for your review! I'm sorry that you didn't intend to subscribe to our app. Our support team is always happy to help with a refund in that case. Feel free to reach out to them via support@fretello.com.

Frustrating to say the least

The app has potential, but it just not accurate. I tried placing the phone away from the amp, close to the amp, left, right, you name it, it just struggles to recognize my playing. I had to cancel my subscription because I stopped using it out of frustration. It kinda works with slower stuff, but if you are trying to go for the speed classes and what not, it’s going to be a nightmare.

Harvest data without being able to try…

Like a lot of apps these days they insist on collecting your email address name etc which is your data to send you junk before you can even try the app to see if it’s for you? Why can they not have a sample page first to see if you’re interested before they get your data? Reading just reviews is not enough because half of them are probably fake anyway and the sample screens don’t allow you to try the product. Would you shop at Tesco's (or wherever) etc if they insisted you to sign in and give out your details before you entered their store? Errrrr….
It’s probably an okay app but until I can see what I’m giving me details to them for sadly it’s a 1* and a deleted app. Sorry no offence but….

Hi there, Thanks for your review. iOS users like you can actually sign in with Apple using an anonymous alias or decide to not even share an email at all. That aside, the app needs to create an account to store your progress and allow for a great learning experience. If you want to, you can start a free trial and explore the app before committing to anything. If you have any further questions or feedback, feel free to send us an email to support@fretello.com.

This app is incredible

Been using this for about 30 mins and i’m already so much better at the guitar
For once an actual guitar teacher app that doesn’t scam you with a membership
