User reviews

Heck Yeah!

Some features are behind a small pay wall, but almost everything the average player needs is available for free and at a high quality.

Happy user

Always able to rely on this app. Solid interface.

Which way is up?!?

Looked promising...yet
This App is always presenting upside down- having trouble with its 'self orientation'.
I'm Just one step away from deleting this app.

Really useful

Only one very minor criticism, make the neck a bid wider, hard to touch the notes on small screen devices.

Whatdya want for nothing? Not a bad app.

Pretty good to learn bass chords. Lots of additional content to purchase as needed.

One pretty bit GLARING flaw for me. No southpaw mode. I'm seeing everything in reverse. Since it's a dynamic visual it's not too bad, but lefty bass players deserve equal representation. I'm sure the other 7 of us are also disappointed.
