You need to update this as I only played for 5 minutes **Developer response:** We've just looked at the crash reports and can confirm one user has experienced a crash out of 1000s this week. We assume it's you so sorry for the experience. It's so strange why just one person is affected, but nevertheless we will make a fix asap and update the version in the next couple of days. ### 2/5 — Audio input from sound card *2024-09-24* Do you plan to support audio input from external sound devices? **Developer response:** HI. I'm not sure what you mean. In Jam exercise, you can play background music files and improvise over it. Please get in touch with us at info@LearnToMaster.com so we can understand what you want. ### 3/5 — 50/50 *2024-02-22* Great interface, but for some reason it won’t output audio through AirPods. Bummer! **Developer response:** Thanks for letting us know. We have now fixed this - you can listen through AirPods. Please download latest version. ### 4/5 — Moving fret board *2020-10-19* This app would be 11 out of 10 if there was an option to lock the fretboard in place so you could see the nut. The moving fretboard is a right pain as you have to recalibrate the position of the frets every time. Still a great app though. **Developer response:** Thanks for getting in touch. We are making improvements to bass guitar app very soon and would like to implement your proposal. Please get in touch with us at LearnToMasterLtd@gmail.com so we can fully understand what you want. ### 3/5 — Upside down and useless *2020-03-13* Autorotate does not work, and this app appears to be hard coded upside-down. Many people (like me) use iPads with a smart case, ie landscape orientation with the home button to the right. This app appears upside down in a smart case and will not rotate. I cannot speak to the actual worth of the app since I cannot even use it. Update: Thank you for the bug fix. I will now attempt to use the app and see what I think. **Developer response:** Sorry about this. This has been fixed in the latest release. ### 4/5 — Nice app! *2019-05-30* I actually think this is a pretty helpful tool for learning bass scales. The scale of the neck is a bit tricky to get adjusted. It would also be nice to have a no ad version for a small fee. **Developer response:** Thanks. We're glad this bass guitar app is useful for improving your bass playing. There is a no ad version. It's called Bass Guitar Pro and you can link to it through the Settings. ### 1/5 — No sounds *2018-09-01* Seems like it would be good but no sound - I’ve tried everything but still no sound **Developer response:** This has been fixed in the latest versions. ### 1/5 — No sound *2018-07-07* Can’t use. No sound. **Developer response:** Another user had this issue. It was resolved by swiping up the Control Panel and unmuting. ### 3/5 — Nicht schlecht. *2018-06-30* Leider ist die G-Saite auf dem iPhone nicht mehr zu sehen. Und somit auch keine Bundzahl. Auf dem iPad gibt es das Problem nicht. Ich nutze diese App, um mal schnell einen Lauf einzuspielen, zeig sie dann dem Bassisten und es läuft. Der Klang ist daher Nebensache. ### 1/5 — No sound *2018-06-10* Disabled Bluetooth, raised volume to the max, no sound produced. **Developer response:** Another user had this issue. It was resolved by swiping up the Control Panel and unmuting. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Was ok, but never updated *2023-12-14* Was ok, but never updated When it finally updated, it took stuff away and wanted more money.. It was ok, but not for that much and I guess I don’t need it. **Developer response:** Sorry for the experience. How many years ago was that? We've spent much time and commitment enhancing the app, and feel this bass guitar app is excellent value for money. There is so much content available on the free version. Let us know more info and we will try to get you to come back. We want our long term users to stick around. info@LearnToMaster.com ### 1/5 — Crashes, won’t restore premium ver, no support *2021-07-23* Purchased premium version. Got a phone call while using app (which I declined) and the app lost its sound. Then Crashed and wouldn’t open again. Black screen. Had to delete and re-install. The “restore” button on the “premium”page does not work. Supposed to pay again?!!! Support link on developers website is defunct. Inexcusable. DO NOT BUY THIS APP. **Developer response:** Sorry for the experience. The contact on the developers website has always been valid. We have fixed these issues within the app. Please download the latest version. ### 1/5 — Unresponsive *2021-05-28* App is in responsive. Lacks basic information, it just shows basic hand positions. Doesn’t show extended scales. All in all terrible experience. **Developer response:** This is incorrect. The app is very responsive with much work reducing the latency to a minimum. In Scales exercise, you can press the Position button to see various hand positions. In the Jam exercise, all the notes in a scale show so you can extend it as much as possible. ### 1/5 — Nothing but ads *2021-04-30* This is a terrible app. I kept tapping the different icons on the screen for Bass Line, Scales, etc and got nothing but ads. After several tries I just deleted it. **Developer response:** Sorry for the experience. There is a full page ad every 2 mins to support the developers. We recommend the Premium version which has no ads and all the content. ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2020-11-30* App crashes, has obnoxious ads (didn’t i pay to download this?), the scales games dont really make sense, even on easy. Discouraged from exploring the app further because of the hectic video ads whenever i click any new function. Id be much better off just improvising on the bass itself **Developer response:** Thanks for getting in touch. We have informed our advertising partner, Google and blocked an ad. There's an ad-free version we recommend. Here's a tutorial fo Scales Game: https://youtu.be/oKhRXhH_7UE?t=135 Essentially, press play button and app tells you what scale to play. You play that scale. App tells you whether you are correct or not. ### 1/5 — Bug *2020-11-09* This app came with a bug to open a solitaire game. Would not let you out. Beware!! I deleted the app and will not try again. **Developer response:** Sorry for the experience. We have reported this to our advertising partner, Google, about this ad and ensure that it has been blocked. We hope you get to enjoy bass guitar and appreciate we need ads to fund. There is a Premium ad-free version which we recommend. ### 1/5 — Can’t see the guitar neck because of ads *2020-07-24* Can’t you fix this? I’d pay to remove ads! **Developer response:** You can adjust the fretboard in the settings, so you can see the guitar neck. Alternatively you can get Bass Guitar Tutor Pro which doesn't have any ads. ### 1/5 — That Didn’t Take Long *2020-07-01* First time I change from one thing to another...and a partisan political ad popped up. Deleted immediately. Good riddance. **Developer response:** Sorry you feel this way. All the ads are within policy and are there to support the developers. We recommend you get Bass Guitar Tutor Pro which doesn't have any ads. ### 1/5 — Absolute garbage *2019-04-24* It is nothing it doesn’t really show u how how to use it nothing i there the worst existing app on the olanet **Developer response:** Sorry you feel this way. Is seems you haven't watched the tutorial video or read the information pages. Here's a tutorial video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKhRXhH_7UE ### 1/5 — Дичь *2019-03-30* Полностью согласен, звук пердежа в лужу, а не бас зааххаа, не тратте время на эту дичь, прога сырая **Developer response:** Sorry you feel this way. You can change the bass sounds in the Settings. Many users have told us how great some of the sounds are. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Egor *2025-02-26* Офигенно **Developer response:** Спасибо.

We hope your bass playing is improving with all the bass lines, patterns, scales and fretboard to learn. ### 5/5 — Nice *2020-07-14* Finished the lessons on the fender app for bass and needed a reliable source for chords and scales. This is perfect. I’d like to the see the bass patterns broken down. I hit play and it goes through the whole thing. **Developer response:** Thanks. You can break the bass patterns down. Simply press the numbers icon and choose which notes to focus on. ### 5/5 — This app is perfect if you are starting *2020-06-20, version 13.7* ive been a musician for 15 years or so and I learned first guitar by ear and then got into bass,and if you are starting to learn this app is for you Or if you are good already it doesn’t matter the content is very solid and easy for learning and practicing.if you are new I encourage you to buy it it will shape your skills and teach you ### 5/5 — Perfect for newbies *2020-05-26* I love this little app! I’m a new bass player so it helps me with scales etc. Even tho playing an actual line or riff or whatever is more advanced than me, I can still pick some of the easier ones and play it at the end of my daily practicing. Gives me incentive lol **Developer response:** Thanks for recommending this bass guitar app. ### 5/5 — Incredible Responsive Support *2020-03-11* I love the app and the company truly stands behind their products. I told them about a nuisance problem that actually did not affect the usability of the app. 2 days later the nuisance issue is fixed. High ratings for this developer!!! **Developer response:** Thanks for detailing the issue with us by email. As you know it's been fixed. ### 5/5 — Outstanding! *2020-01-20* I’m a beginner on bass and this is perfect for scales and the lines available are perfect for keeping motivated! **Developer response:** Thanks. We hope your bass playing improves with this app. ### 5/5 — Отлично *2019-09-11* Деморежим в полна уместный. Ну а если хочется намного больше, наааамного - то пожалуйста всего 400 рублей и будет счастье. Мне понравилось. Молодцы! **Developer response:** Благодарю. Мы надеемся, что с этим приложением улучшится воспроизведение басов. ### 5/5 — Отлично *2019-08-20* Подходит для изучения гамм, пентатоник, а так же некоторых песен. Очень удобно, хороший справочник в кармане **Developer response:** Благодарю. Мы надеемся, что с этим приложением улучшится воспроизведение басов. ### 5/5 — Great for beginners *2019-04-06* I’ve learned so many songs from this and I’ll play it side by side with the app to get the rhythm! **Developer response:** Fantastic to read you have learnt so many songs.
