Ich bin ein Fan von der App! Sie motiviert mich immer wieder beim Lernen meiner Tunes, eben mal schnell nachschauen, wie die speziellen Embellishments gehen und üben oder korrigieren. Highlight für mich ist, das wir Videos von und mit Willie sehen dürfen. großartig! Macht weiter so. Vielen Dank an die Dudelsackschule!

### 5/5 — Previous purchaser

*2025-08-01, version 2.05*

Like the other previous purchaser when it was just one purchase, I was disappointed when I logged in and saw everything locked.  HOWEVER, it took all of 5 minutes to email the company, send them the info they needed, and get things restored.  This is the honest way to do things, and good on them for not leaving their original purchasers out to dry.  Great app!

### 5/5 — Top App

*2025-03-16*

Die App macht genau das was sie soll, sie hilft beim Erlernen des Schottischen Dudelsacks. 
Mit viel Liebe wurden hier viele Videos zum mitspielen, anhören und lernen aufgenommen und regelmäßig werden es mehr. „Man weis nicht wie sich eine Verzierung auf dem Chanter angehört?” Kein Problem es gibt garantiert eine ausführliches Video dazu. 
Ein weiterer Positiver Punkt ist die ständige Weiterentwicklung der App, es wird sich um Fehler gekümmert und neue Features hinzugefügt. 
Für mich eine der besten Möglichkeiten zusätzlich zu meinem Unterricht mein wissen über den Dudelsack zu vertiefen.

**Developer response:** Lieben Dank für Dein tolles Feedback. Wir wünschen DIr weiterhin viel Spaß beim Dudelsackspielen und senden viele Grüße aus der Dudelsackschule.

### 5/5 — Tolle App für Anfänger und Fortgeschrittene

*2025-03-15*

Die App ist super aufgebaut und man kann die vielen Lieder synchron mit Andy mitspielen und auch die Übungen vertiefen. Man bekommt ein gutes Gefühl für die Melodien. Besonders toll finde ich die unterschiedlichen Geschwindkeitseinstellungen, damit man neue Lieder gut einstudieren kann. Durch die immer wieder neuen Videos und die Workshop Videos zu allen möglichen Themen rund um den Dudelsack, Musik und Harmonielehre ist es eine perfekte Ergänzung zum Unterricht und dem Lehrbuch. Auf jeden Fall auch für das Selbststudium geeignet. Vielen Dank für die tolle App, macht weiter so!

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für Deine positive Rezension. Es freut uns sehr, dass Du mit der App gut lernen kannst. Beim nächsten Update kannst Du auch bestimmte Teil-Sequenzen in den Videos als Endlosschleifen abspielen lassen.
