Especially when you’re a beginner, it makes you rush things instead of taking the time to properly read the text or play the right note. Let us go at our own pace! No need for a timer. ### 4/5 — Good *2026-03-12* I like this app but i thought it would be be more of a video of the guitar and the teacher because that way is a little more helpful ### 2/5 — App is rage baiting me *2026-02-27, version 2.1.6* I followed the apps instruction to the best of my ability and it kept cutting me off telling me I wasn’t doing it correctly. ### 2/5 — It only accepted my notes when they were wrong my? *2025-11-30, version 2.1.6* It doesn’t differentiate notes well ### 3/5 — Its okay *2025-11-24, version 2.1.6* When I saw the app i thought it would be cool but now I think it is bad because every time you go on there it wastes your time saying what we’re doing. ### 3/5 — Hmmmmm *2025-06-15* I just got this app and so far it is weird. I was told to play the thinnest string, and they told me that they could not hear me over and over and over again. It might be that my time limit is up so I will report tomorrow morning. ### 2/5 — maybe a bug? *2025-05-03, version 2.1.6* i really love the app but whenever i go to play the next thing, it won’t recognize me playing the right note and won’t show anything even though it said i only played to right note once, even though i played the same note many times. if it wasn’t for this then i love the app and it’s very easy to use. i haven’t payed anything and it works great other than that, maybe my phone is just messing up 🤷‍♀️ ### 3/5 — Good but why does it say move to chordify? *2025-01-18* It is a good app but there are no videos which was fine for me. It was really confusing like not the lessons but after doing a few lessons it said to then go on chordify?? Like can all the lessons be on one app instead of having to switch?? The app is still good to learn some basics, no ads, and is completely free like not even in app purchase. The only let down is having to switch to the chordify app. ### 2/5 — Ok *2024-12-14* This app is great because it gives you sort of feedback and lets you listen to it but it’s literally like just text messages that come through not like an actual lesson so it’s kind of lame and it moves extremely slow and you have to read it obviously which makes it just like why is this an app? ### 4/5 — Great *2024-11-12* I’m sure the app is great, but when I got to the “first melody” lesson, it let me play the open note blah blah, but when it had my try to play the two first notes, no matter how many times I strummed it showed that it heard me but didn’t fill in the little bubble and nothing worked so I’m a little bummed but it’s okay! ### 3/5 — One thing preventing me from an awesome experience *2024-09-21* So far this app is very helpful to me I love the way the communications were designed but there is one thing that prevents me to have a fun experience. Whenever copying the same chord or riff I had trouble trying to move on because the recording was too fast for me. ### 4/5 — Bad but great *2024-06-26, version 2.1.6* On the 3rd lesson of the app I said that I have to play the thhissnest string but is said I got it wrong when I got it right ### 2/5 — Just won’t listen *2024-06-06, version 2.1.6* I bet it is a good app but when I play it is not understand that I am play the right thing ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not thought out *2026-02-05, version 2.1.6* How are you supposed to play when you have to constantly press on the screen? Plus it glitches. Like it was made from people who have never played the guitar - not helpful at all ### 1/5 — Not my favorite *2025-12-26* You have to learn from seeing a text which is hard for younger people because they don’t have the patience for this app my kids had to keep scrolling through the text and then learn through photos. Do not recommend if it’s your kids though for adults it is easier and this app is for 4 and up ### 1/5 — Sebastian *2025-12-05, version 2.1.6* It said it can’t hear me when it’s perfect ### 1/5 — Actual garbage, but it’s “free”. *2025-11-23* I started to learn guitar a day or two ago on a different app called “Yousician”. To learn anything on that app you are required to pay a subscription. Even though this app doesn’t require a subscription to learn, the lessons are super slow and the app can’t hear you half the time. And on top of that it tries to funnel you into ANOTHER APP THAT REQUIRES A SUBSCRIPTION TO USE. 1/5 stars, do not use unless you are desperate. ### 1/5 — Boring *2025-11-09, version 2.1.6* The teaching style is boring and slow paced ### 1/5 — Has mic issues *2025-06-10, version 2.1.6* Could not hear notes ### 1/5 — Stupid *2024-12-27, version 2.1.6* It couldn’t hear me f* Fuuuuooocking ever ### 1/5 — Worst app ever *2024-12-08, version 2.1.6* Worst app ever y’all are the most stupidest person in the universe it said could not hear or hmm maybe you are doing it wrong ### 1/5 — If you want to fully learn guitar DONT GET THIS *2024-03-11, version 2.1.5* First few leasons are good but after that it tells you to go to chordify Wich u have to pay for ,I’m twelve and I needed a free guitar app hope. They make more lessons on this. ### 1/5 — Soo hard to understand *2023-05-21, version 2.1.4* So hard to understand,deleting ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-08-03* This app teaches you do quickly and so easily! There is nothing to difficult and it’s breaks down the lessons and makes it easy! ### 5/5 — Please read! *2026-02-08* This app is amazing! The only thing i dont like is you have to scroll down often. But other than that there is no reason not to get it. ### 5/5 — Just Perfect! *2025-11-22* I started to learn guitar a day or two ago on a different app called “Yousician”. To learn anything on that app you are required to pay a subscription, I tried two other apps today until finding this one. This one is a bit slow but it doesn’t require a 365 dollar subscription! 4.5/5, would recommend to anyone trying to learn guitar without taking out a second mortgage. ### 5/5 — So stupid. *2025-07-23* The microphone isn’t picking up an open note……the most annoying app. Would NOT recommend. ### 5/5 — So good! *2025-05-06* This is app Is awesome! I had a really bad band teacher who didnt teach us anything In a year but this app taught me so much in a day! The only problem I'm having is I will play the chords but it won't hear it. Anyways I love this app ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ### 5/5 — This is true *2025-01-05, version 2.1.6* Very fun short is actually funner than the in person lessons ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2024-08-13, version 2.1.6* This app is amazing for beginners. And it’s free! ### 5/5 — I love it gituru *2024-07-22* It’s like I have areal teacher I really like how you teach so many people in such a fun way ### 5/5 — Best guitar app ever! *2023-12-09* You don’t even have to pay and it is starting to really help me with learning the guitar even more! ### 5/5 — The app *2023-09-27, version 2.1.4* I learned guitar easier than I ever could with this app --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
