Didn’t know were many songs were

I just started playing bass and I was trying to search for basic songs like seven nation army but it was like it wasn’t on there

8.0 Feedback Mode Mess

Everything was working fine until the 8.0 release. Now previous scores are wiped, new 100% scores are shown as 1%, and some lessons cannot hear the notes at all, or claim that the wrong bass string(!) was played or the beat was off. There’s a lot of 0% scores from new lessons for me moving forward. I’m waiting for them to fix this mess which they do not openly acknowledge. Support explains the moving of Feedback
Mode, and advises to reinstall the app. What a crock!

Update screwed up the feedback mode

The latest update added feedback mode to practice mode. First problem is that it doesn’t record my score. The bigger problem is that I can no longer use AirPods for listening to the track and iPad microphone for listening to my playing. It is all either iPad or AirPod and AirPods only hear voice. Notes aren’t recognized. This is a colossal screw up by fender.

8.x Launch Is A Disaster

Launch of 8.X is a disaster! It deleted my progress history, high scores, and won’t even grade my performance any longer. I hope that Fender fixes the app soon.

Monthly bills

Doesn’t mention anywhere that it’s a monthly paid service until after you give them your information

Zu schwer für Anfänger

Die Lieder sind zu schwer für Anfänger und es gibt nicht viele coole Lieder.

Fender = BAD

Corpo is not Rock and Roll. Suing in bad faith because you failed is what losers do. Leo was a master, Fender is a business and does not care anout you or your music.

I am deleting this app

After all the mess Fender is creating about the Strat body shape, I am not buying or using anything from Fender

Gute App - leider kein Apple TV

Mit dieser App macht es Spaß, Bass zu lernen. Es gibt immer abwechselnd Video Lektionen und den Übungsmodus. Leider gibt es keine Apple TV App so wie bei Masterclass. Man muss alles vom iPhone oder iPad aufs Apple TV streamen. Mit einer echten Apple TV App wäre das Paket komplett.

Doesn’t work!

Despite everything being up to date, app closes automatically after silly entry survey. Utterly useless! Canceled subscription!!

iPad app doesn’t work

I have a subscription, and I’m able to access it via the app on my iPhone. But I can’t successfully launch the app on my iPad - I’ve deleted and reinstalled and that doesn’t help. Any assistance would be great. Thanks - I do like the content and find it helpful

What a waste

I downloaded this after using the Gibson app, because there seemed to be a better song list. After trying it, there is no live feedback or gamification of any of the songs. I don’t know why I would pay 150 a year to get tabs and video lessons only. I can get what this offers for free in tons of other resources. Oh well.

7.4.5 will not work, closes every time

Downloaded nestest app version today on iPad OS 26.2.1. App thinks I am a new user and goes through the startup questions. On the fourth screen, “What path interests you right now?” the app closes. Have uninstalled and reinstalled, rebooted the iPad, tried multiple times but not able to start the app beyond those four screens. If this does not get fixed quickly I would like a refund.

Video issues

How difficult is it, in this day and age, to get full screen videos to work properly? If you play a video on full screen and then click X the video either starts from the beginning or plays two sets of audio at once. Annoying because it’s otherwise a decent app and course, but we are paying for this….

Badd

Owner you own me an opoagy
Because u took my data and deleted from my screen

Nice app but missing audio interface support

Overall, nice app. The parts of the app that rely on the microphone are twitchy though. I wish it supported my audio interface (Focusrite Scarlett = super popular) so that the guitar input would be noise free. Yousican support it, so have been using that app more as a result. Happy to share more, if needed.

Could be better

Super hard to read the notes for feedback mode. Not as fan as other apps. Disappointed and will go to other apps

Confusing Billing

I hadn’t use the app in a while. After changing email address there was no way for me to sign in and recover my account. Now I can’t cancel. I can’t renew. And I can’t access the app even though I have an active subscription.

Subscription problems

Used the app for a year and got some use out of it but felt there were better options else where so I tried to cancel my subscription. It charged me the next year even though I ensured I canceled my plan and just recent got charged again for a second time. Really annoying.
