actually keeps my attention
I’ve been trying to learn guitar for years and have tried lots of apps and books and lessons etc but this app is actually keeping my attention which is not an easy task. i’ve been practicing until my fingers can’t go on, everyday since i discovered it!spuddx
Awesome!
I just started learning acoustic guitar and in about a week and half I have learned about 7 chords and can play slowly. I like the fact it corrects you if you strum incorrectly and makes you do it again. I went ahead and paid for the monthly plan as it teaches you more chords. It has a built in tuner and assists you in tuning your guitar. It also has songs you can play to as well. It grades your performance and tells you how well you have progressed. Overall I am pleased. I still will reinforce lessons with an instructor.Show lessCerberusNC
Lot of fun!
I never wrote any review but this app really is amazing it just feels like the teacher who can understand where I am and adjust.
I have a lot of fun and like the fact you can quickly play on backing tracks.
Great stuff!Wim Merlin
Very nice, but wish it was for Native iPad
This is a very good app. It is very good at sensing what you are playing and getting the accuracy right, almost too accurate at times! :)
I love the app and only wish it was developed to leverage the IPad screen real estate. Using it on my IPad would be much more enjoyable if that were the case, but overall, it's good and my fingers are still getting sore!
Update:
This app is amazing for the iPhone and worth every penny. I initially had a lower rating due to the lack of support for the iPad screen real-estate, but they advertise its iPhone only so I upgraded my review! Great application!Show lessDeadeye-Frey
Can't Detect Correct Notes
I wouldn't pay to upgrade until the app can correctly detect notes. For the past 2 months I've tried using the app - it just sits there telling me to play a G - while I'm playing a G - nothing ever happens - just sits there. The tuner part of the app works but not the teaching part. Doesn't matter if I'm using an Acoustic or Electric the app just sits there. Have no problems with Yousician or Fender. All of my third party tuners detect just fine. So clearly Uberchord is the problem.Show lessSeekerJones
So far so good
It's definitely challenging me and my pacing. I've only used it for a little while and it's already pushed me to play without looking at the guitar. I've already had much more success with it and remembering fingering than I've ever had in the last few years of having my guitar.Funnierthanu
Former violin & violist
Fantastic app for someone like me with a strong classical music background who is new to guitar. Getting my brain and hand to have an intelligent conversation with 6-strings instead of 4 always made me feel like I'd had a stroke until I discovered Uberchord. So soooo appreciate the deliberate and purposeful drills. I'm becoming more skillful every day. It's fun, rewarding and intelligent instruction!Show lesslift9
Pestered into it
First off, congratulations UC, you have gotten me to write this review. Each day the splash screen interrupting my lesson begging for reviews has annoyed me enough to hope that doing this will make it stop. (If it doesn't, I will cancel my subscription.)
So, with that said. I think this is a pretty good app and the paid content is worthwhile. I haven't played guitar for 15 years and within a few weeks I have learned and play chords that I never thought possible even when I was at my most capable before.
The note recognition is good (using an electric with connector), though I feel the lessons are too generous sometimes when I don't play a note correctly. This compounds on the strumming lessons where it gives you specific chords to play, but as long as you play anything at all you will pass.
The warmup and practice sessions pull out material that is way more complicated than what the lessons I'm going through are offering. Occasionally, it's more difficult than I can play at the moment so I can't complete the exercise - which for a warm up is a pretty bad start to your practice time.
However, I am pleased with the app and lessons, even taking account the quirks.Show lessbeanRacer
Developer Response
Hey beanRacer, thanks for the feedback — obviously our review begging screen does a great job. ;-) Ok, kidding aside, the screen should carefully ask you once every now and then, and should it certainly *not* be annoying, let alone begging. I hate such things myself, so this sounds like a bug to me. Could you get in touch with me? The we could also look into the warm up, this seems also not to work the way it's supposed to. If you are interested, just shoot me an email to eckart@uberchord.com. Best, Eckart (Co-Founder and CEO)First Day!
My first practice today I practiced for 25 minutes and I am totally amazed, I just love the opportunity to try something I have never done before. I'm looking forward to learning the guitar, it's only taken me 50 plus years to finally commit... thanks Uberchord! Can't wait for my next lesson, played until my fingers could take no more.Show lessMonicaJean22
Best free guitar app I have found!🎸
This guitar app has by far offered the best training exercises and feedback while learning to play. I have really been able to advance quickly with its user friendly exercises and free instruction in part. I wish there was more free exercises, but it is definitely better than others out there. Easy to learn with and love that it gives you feedback! Well done, Uberchord!🥇Show lessNightingaleBaby
