Who plays guitar in the vertical?? ### 1/5 — Worthless *2013-11-17, version 1.1.7* Does not give directions well. Assumes you know where to start. If I knew where to start I would not need an app to teach me! Poor design all in all. ### 1/5 — Very basic app *2013-06-07* This app is too basic you would be better off choosing a more interactive app. Best give this a miss. ### 2/5 — Latest version wreaked a great app *2017-03-04* I liked this a lot and suggested it to friends but with the latest version it buggy. It's stuck on landscape, you no longer can move your view up and down the fretboard and there is extra info that might be nice if you could toggle it off but right now it just makes the fretboard view smaller. **Developer response:** Sorry to hear you had a problem updating to version 2.0.
