Great start

I’m just getting to the end or level 5 and woah its getting tricky now with the finger picking multiple strings lol. Still loving it though and I have skipped and learnt a few songs at a higher level - Country Rooooadddd take me homeeeeee, yee haaaaa.

I bought a ukulele on the 27th Dec 2023 - after not picking up a stringed instrument for 20 years - wow it’s so brilliant I have already passed level 3 with all gold stars. The organised progression is brilliant. For everyone complaining the app forces you to pay up front annually, you just aren’t looking at the details properly. Yes it asks if you want to subscribe for a year, but then underneath it gives you other options to subscribe for a month or 3 months. As for people complaining about the price, it would be far more expensive to find a real life tutor or attend real life classes. I know because I have payed tutors to help with learning other instruments. You can easily pay £30 an hour or more! So £30 for three months using the app is amazing value for money.

WASTE OF TIME

Don’t download this app unless you want to rage quit ukulele! 🤬The app does not hear you correctly and automatically exspects you to be able to do somthing it has not taught you to! It a big fat stinky waste of time. And also level 1 is free but as soon as you get to level 2 or anything above that you have to pay and there not even lessons anyway it does not teach you to play uke it just makes you play songs it does not actually teach you to play the things. And also if the creators see this all there going to say is “oh I’m soooooo sorry dat u did not wike da app” and they won’t even do anything about it to fix it.

Actually learning !!

Been playing 4 months with other apps. Get this app few days ago. After 1 month of practicing but not learning with other apps it feels amazing to actually be challenged and to learn. More then just “ok these are chords I can play”. I feel like I am truly getting better and also getting a better understanding of the ukulele as an instrument. Thanks

Updated:
some download options would be great as I am learning while travelling. Internet is not always stable or even available.
Also some ‘common’ songs like Over the Rainbow and others are not available. They would be great as this is the only app I have tried that shows the strumming patters.
Some more of the learning/training songs in the various lessons chapters.
Much more videos on techniques eg. How to move efficiently between tricky cord changes. Learning bad technique then needing to relearn is very annoying. I would wish for ‘more then you think needed’ correct technique videos. Imagine I am an idiot and need to see every little detail. If there are various techniques then show them all.
Lastly an ‘ear training’ section would be great. Something to develop ability to hear and identify notes by ear.
Thanks

Needs better hearing

At first it was good, but after like five minutes, it stopped hearing the sound I was playing. I e been a ukulelist for a while now, and just wanted to improve, so I got this app, I new I was playing the write note, and it kept saying wrong, when the not before was the same, I got that right, and didn’t do anything different for the next note. It can be a little annoying, but it’s a pretty good app other then that.

Couldn’t even listen to the right string

When I was tuning I said there was 3 string 3s it was weird and it won’t even listen to the right string like if I’m playing string 1 it says I’m playing string 3 for some reason I thought it was a good app to teach me my ukulele but not really helpful
