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 ### 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 — Problems after Iceman *2021-03-04, version 1.1.0* Fun lil game. Kinda mindless but fun. However, after the Iceman was opened up is where bugs are plenty. 2 guitars I can’t sell and a guitar for sale that has no neck lol. It was like after that guitar quality control of the game went out the window. Please issue updates to fix these issues ### 4/5 — Sooo much potential *2021-03-03, version 1.1.0* This thing is awesome. Yet so limiting at the same time. There is so much room to do more cool things with this game and keep people playing more. I hope the developer updates it with many more options one day. ### 3/5 — Good but something isn’t right *2020-12-21, version 1.0.0* I love the game and it is very fun but I have noticed one problem that shook me. Every time I make a guitar it doesn’t go on the shelf or store I sell a guitar for an hour later and I received no money. This is why I’m confused at the moment ### 3/5 — Pretty good *2020-06-09, version 1.25* Really good idea, I would just like more options, pickup configuration would be cool, and maybe some more body types, it’s missing pretty big shapes like the jazzmaster and the thunderbird etc but that’s fine, pretty fun ### 4/5 — Great game but... *2020-05-27, version 1.25* I love the game sadly it has a few bugs like when I get past level 15 the game bugs out with all of my slots filled up with the top guitar with no color it also says upgrade $500 always at the bottom of the screen ### 4/5 — Fun game *2020-05-14* Fun I had to delete the game tho because of some weird bug that happened that made me have all of my racks full of body guitars that you get at lvl 35 but I was lvl 20 and couldn’t sell them, and I also was lvl 1 cuz it reset and could make my money go negative 4 million just pressing upgrade but wouldn’t see a upgrade and I couldn’t just make a guitar it was stuck on 1 guys request would re download but I was too far to restart so thanks for the little amount of fun ### 3/5 — Pretty ok *2020-04-29, version 1.25* I was enjoying the game until I had a glitch where the game kept giving me back $20,000 every time I reopened the app even though I already spent the money. Then it gave me a ton of free guitars but I couldn’t sell them and when I tried to go and upgrade my shop, the screen would be stuck on the sell screen ### 3/5 — Glitches *2020-04-29* Pretty fun game but the glitches and bugs are too much. When I finish a guitar, there are pieces missing from the finished one, all the guitars on the wall turned into the same shape and I can’t get rid of them, the screen gets stuck all the time. Was working good for a while, then when it was updated, there was a lot more bugs. Fun when it works, but also disappointed there’s no les Paul shape. ### 3/5 — I like it but *2020-04-13, version 1.23* I have issues with the game. The fourth body cuts and then when I go to put the shield on it doesn’t appear and I can’t change it’s color. I hit level 15 but the neck that would normally unlock won’t. I also don’t have the option to buy it. ### 3/5 — Love the game but wish there was more guitars *2020-03-25* I wish there was more guitars in game such as acoustic guitars and rhythm guitars as well cause then there’d be more variety to them besides just the normal electric guitars which can get very boring after a while in game. So if you are this game developer, please add more guitar styles such as the acoustic guitar and the rhythm guitar. That is my reason for only three stars, if there was more style of guitars; I’d give it more stars. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Hugely buggy, repetitive gameplay. *2021-03-14* None of the purchases work, watching an ad doesn’t actually give you a gift box (not that the gift boxes even work in the first place) after you build a guitar the sound cuts out entirely, and the gameplay is incredibly repetitive. You’re not even allowed to change the hardware color or pickups on any of the guitars. Edit: more glitches. Pickguards don’t show up on strat style guitars when they’re on the wall, and the tuning order is backwards on the top 3 strings on 3+3 headstocks. Fix the game, devs. ### 1/5 — So many things wrong to list with this app *2020-07-06, version 1.27* This app looked so promising and potentially fun. A lot of thought went into this app but the best that could come out of this game is broken. I have emailed with pictures of what the bugs were with a response to “I’ll look into it.” Pretty much, that’s it. Then it comes out with a paid to remove ads model and it was a serious bust. Too bad. Could have been a pretty cool app. This far, it’s failed as a quick buck-making, broken app. ### 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. ### 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. ### 2/5 — Great concept, but crippling bugs. *2021-01-22, version 1.0.0.1* Really excited about this game concept, but the game is plagued with bugs and fatal freezes that render the game completely unplayable. Sometimes an update arrives that fixes it, but within two weeks it will happen again. Also needs more paint color and body shape options. Why no Les Paul shape? Too many metal guitars shapes. ### 2/5 — Awesome with one big problem *2020-03-04, version 1.0.6* The game mechanics are great, and the content is awesome. The one issue I have is that a large “Thank You” has appeared on the game’s home page after having purchased the option to remove ads. That message prevents me from selling guitars and navigating the home page. Please fix, and I’ll be happy to give five stars. ### 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. ### 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? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome but some requests *2021-02-22* I love making my dream guitars but I would like some more I always thought that the game should have these guitars les Paul les Paul jr les Paul special fender mustangs fender precision bass all types of those Gibson basses I know this sounds dumb but can you do a thing where you can make your own drum set too ### 5/5 — Mire options *2021-01-23* I think this game is great i just have a couple ideas that i think would make it better the first would be a les paul style guitar the next idea i have is pickup options maybe just the options of have single coil or humbucker. And the last idea i have is different nobs for the guitars ### 5/5 — Love the game *2020-08-03, version 1.28* Love the game, but I have an idea. Maybe you could let us mix 2 shapes together and maybe we could name the brand as well if you see this than I love this game so much I think you could do this for the people ### 5/5 — Loving it: want some basses :) *2020-07-11, version 1.27* Amazing game. I love it, love the idea of crafting guitars and all of that. As a bassist and guitarist, it’s really fun in my downtime. Any chance some basses can come soon? Oh, and newer wood grains? ### 5/5 — Please add Les Paul model *2020-05-31* I absolutely love the game and I’m addicted to it, I love the idea of creating my own guitar, but can you please in the next update and a Les Paul model? Oh and I forgot to add that there is a problem with the strat where in the guitar shop menu after you make a strat, the pick guard goes away, Idky but could you please fix that to? ### 5/5 — Awesome Game! *2020-05-30* Like many of the other reviews I just wanted to say that I really dig this game! I don’t typically play many games on my phone but this one has my attention as it speaks to one of the things I really enjoy! I think it would be easy to go overboard with all the suggestions but one I’d like to see is the ability to create a logo for the headstock. A couple of fonts to choose from with editable text and maybe an option for a picture type logo - I think it would be pretty cool to build a custom guitar with my own personal logo on the headstock. Looking forward to seeing more updates. Cheers! ### 5/5 — Very Satisfying... *2020-05-02* I saw the add for this game on Instagram and thought it would be very fun. I was right. The only complaint I have, which isn’t actually a complaint, is that when you tune a guitar with two tuning pegs on each side, it isn’t accurate in the placement of strings. That’s ok, because everything else about the game makes up for it. Since this game is new, I’ve got some ideas. For one, instead of just dropping the pickups and nobs into the guitar, we could actually build the circuits from scratch with wires. My second idea is that there should be some acoustic guitars in this game. My third idea is that there could be much more detail into just building the guitars. Finally, this game could also use some buildable amps. I hope my feedback is acknowledged and maybe considered. ### 5/5 — A lot of fun *2020-03-17, version 1.0.6* This game is oddly satisfying and a lot of fun. Would be cool to see a few more body’s and neck styles and more of a color/ design options. Maybe be able to do a rustic vintage look, or maybe even do bass guitars! Game is a lot of fun though! ### 5/5 — Fun new game! *2020-03-15, version 1.0.6* This game is fun and the mechanics are good for an early developed game. Can’t wait for future updates, more bodies, necks, patterns, and colors. There is one bug I noticed when drilling the fender Stratocaster, the pickups drill out just fine but that’s the only thing that drills - therefore the drilling for the knobs is floating during any stage after that. Just brainstorming some additions: • paint colors • new patterns (maybe colors of patterns as well) • XP boosts that can be bought with cash from selling guitars Overall I really enjoy this game ### 5/5 — Games pretty sweet! *2020-03-07* So, this game is still in early development. So, just like everyone else, I’m gonna throw some ideas out there. So obviously, more body, headstock, and pickup choices would be cool. But do you know some things that would be REALLY cool? 1 using different types of wood for different guitars (such as tops) 2 a color wheel to be able to mix custom colors 3 different types of guitars (hollow body, acoustic, expended range) 4 people coming to your shop to request custom builds. Obviously, that’s a tall order. But if you guys wanna make the game super cool (and educational for some people) adding those things would be rad! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
