Rubbish

Rubbish unusable

Terrible. Scam level stuff.

This is the worst piece of crap I’ve ever experienced.

Terrible

Don’t waste your money.

It's just noise

Do yourself a favor and don't pay for it. It just a collection of what the sounds should sound like. Worthless!

G string totally wrong

How can this app be wrong on such a simple function. 5th string (g) is very wrong in pitch.
