### 5/5 — Content is great

*2020-08-01, version 2.00*

Update: Thanks for updating the app! Works perfectly. Changing to 5star!
This apps content is awesome. Mike does a great job explaining the song in great detail! The reason for the 3 star review is the app itself is almost unusable. No way to rewind, fast forward. The app does not fit correctly on the screen. And every time I go back to a lesson it starts at the beginning. For this price, this app should be maintained better.

**Developer response:** We've just done an update (v2.00) that should fix the UI issues.  Let us know if it works better for you now.

He breaks down the piece so well that you don't miss a single nuance that he put into the piece.

When you first look at it, the app is a little pricey. But let me tell you, I've learned so much from this app in one day! Before the tabs and this app, I had to interpret it by ear and learn it like that. I was way off the original! Anyway, this app is definitely worth the money.
