User reviews

So helpful!

I am a professional opera singer who had two strokes and lost a lot of the fundamentals of music. This app, and associated social media) has been helpful in relearning and even going a little beyond what I already knew. Having this, I can always go back over concepts and play through the games to refresh things without the shame of having to ask questions.

Froze on me.

Yeah that what you pay for a useless app that will freeze on you while your at the loading screen this not worth it. They care more about making money then you learning these learning apps are all scams there more about making money them teaching you.

Response from developer

I hate this

Why does everything thing cost money This is stupid 🤬😡

Used to be good...

This used to be a good and easy way to make music, but then a paid subscription was added. You only have one instrument and one bar to put it in. Previously, I had bought every other instrument, but now I can no longer use them.

This used to be very good before the paid subscription barred previously free content.
