### 3/5 — Cool app but hangs up

*2023-01-11, version 1.1.0*

The app is really cool and the guitars are really well designed. However it has way too many ads and if you try to pay .99 cents to stop all the ads it doesn’t work. It starts hanging up and crashing. It’s stuck back on level 1 and I made it to level 24. I’m at a standstill.

### 4/5 — Small glitch

*2021-12-30, version 1.1.0*

Great game , one small issue when I build a Stratocaster when I finish it the pickgaurd  glitches out

### 4/5 — Good… but needs more!

*2021-10-11*

i enjoy this game because it’s fun to see all the guitars i can create and it’s also fun to unlock new guitars, but just building the guitars is not enough, i feel like there should be a mode where you can play your guitars, and challenge cpu’s. However it’s still pretty good.

### 4/5 — Good but got some lag

*2021-06-23, version 1.1.0*

Whenever I’m trying to create a Stratocaster with a shield, but when your done creating it, it will not show up and when I try to buy the ibenez iceman it won’t let me continue after ward

### 2/5 — Decent

*2021-04-23, version 1.1.0*

This is a decent app.  None of the store links work such as remove ads.  I was gonna pay for that to support the developer but seeing that the links don’t work it’s not worth my time.

### 4/5 — I want this to be a 5 star game

*2021-04-20*

Just a couple of things. The store is broken. No transactions work. I would have gladly paid the 2.99 already to not see the same ads of the same games I’m not interested in over and over again. Also, there are some graphic glitches. I feel like if the developer is serious, more options will come, so I’m not going to complain about that. Really like this game. Please keep developing it.

### 3/5 — Bug

*2021-04-17*

So I love this game, especially as a person who plays guitar, you get to be creative and make your own, well something happened to it. I just finished making another guitar and now it’s stuck on this weird screen all the guitar stand hangers, whatever, are completely filled with guitars I don’t even have yet. It doesn’t even do anything every time I get back on I’m on this frozen screen and see the same thing every time. It’s impossible to play with this. FIX IT PLS!

### 3/5 — Level glitch

*2021-03-29, version 1.1.0*

I have reached the end of level one, but for some reason I cannot get to level two. Can you fix it?

### 2/5 — Glitched

*2021-03-24, version 1.1.0*

I’ve played the game for a while and had made a lot of progress but now when I open the app it says level one 1000+ XP and shows the legendary guitar on all spots on the wall and it doesn’t show my money at the top anymore I’ve restarted my phone and the app but now has worked please help

### 2/5 — There’s potential, but it’s a buggy mess

*2021-03-16*

This has the potential to be a lot of fun, but it is plagued by its many, many bugs. I tried buying the microtransaction that disables advertisements, but it won’t let you purchase it. I experimented with the other microtransactions, and none of them work, either. The chests that you earn in game that give you currency from watching an advertisement often don’t work either. I will watch the video, but the game usually won’t award me with the currency. There’s a sound glitch where all game audio disappears that occurs every time I play it, and the tool animations glitch out every time I select the Iceman body style. But the biggest issue I’ve found is as soon as I used the first “rare” body style, the entire game froze, and now I can’t play it at all. Even if I quit the app and restart it, it immediately freezes as it reopens. The developers should have polished this game a whole lot more before releasing it.
