Mic access not working

Microphone access stopped working recently on iPhone v26.5.2 or I may have upgraded to newest guitar blast and it broke. Can’t use tuner,etc.

Sound

Is it possible to switch off gaming sounds? It’s annoying in rounds to hear funny sound except of the notes

Scam

Left hand mode not working and customer support not accessible

Great

Great app and very helpful for learning. The only thing I’m missing is the ability to practice notes on the fretboard using more than one string at a time. Right now, you can only select a single string. Just a suggestion from me. Overall, a 5-star app! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
