### 1/5 — Grottenschlecht

*2024-02-22*

Keine Ahnung, wie die App funktionieren soll. Geld für nichts. Werde alles löschen.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2023-07-15*

The fact that it says “FOR BEGINNERS” makes you think oh yeah I should get this if I have literally NO EXPERIENCE WITH A GUITAR.... right? WRONG! If you are a person that randomly bought a guitar and it needed tuning and you had no idea how to tune or how to play or even what the strings were called you would have no idea what this game was talking about because the first instruction it gave ME was “down D” like I would even know what down D ment!!!  I do not recommend this 1 star garbage.     Did not work for this guitar

Si vous n’en avez pas pour régler les cordes, passez à autre chose. Sinon,c’est un bon basique.

### 1/5 — Awful.

### 1/5 — Demasiado incómoda.

*2021-02-02, version 7.3*

Tremenda basura de aplicación. Anuncios cada que toco un cuerda, literal; es imposible de usar. Entiendo que puedan haber anuncios cada cierto tiempo, pero esta porquería de aplicación lo lleva al extremo.
