### 4/5 — Great game!

*2023-04-02*

I love this app. It’s fun and easy to follow along with songs! Some other people say that there is ads like every minute. But I was playing for 10 minutes and not 1 ad! I say I great game👍🎸😁

### 3/5 — Remove ads

*2015-11-15*

This is not a free ap. The ads take over the screen every 20 seconds so you have to buy the ad remover - which is not working. Frustrating to say the least because other than that it is fantastic.

### 3/5 — Keeps crashing ios 8.1.2

*2015-04-04*

Keeps crashing

### 2/5 — Guitar App

*2014-04-03, version 3.0.1*

App is fun but a little hard to use and difficult to learn! It is not very user friendly in that there is no obvious way to make the necessary changes to the app to make it say Play; right handed or strum better...

### 4/5 — Works as advertised

*2014-01-30*

Could be a better app with more songs to play

### 2/5 — Fun but annoying ad video

*2013-06-03*

It's a good guitar app, but every other minute an ad video pops up

### 4/5 — Good

*2013-05-27*

I enjoyed the UI but I want to be able to remove the ads

### 2/5 — Ridiculous adverts

*2013-02-20*

It's a pretty basic laid out app. But you get what you DON'T pay for.  You get to play ONE chord before an advert fills up your iPad screen  for a game there trying to make you buy. And on the advert is the smallest X ever that when you try pressing it you accidentally press the advert which takes you off your app and into the App Store. Absolutely ridiculous.

### 1/5 — Gay app

*2013-01-17*

Gay app always crashes

### 1/5 — Not please, at all.

*2012-11-12, version 2.4.06*

This app crashes the second you open it. At first it froze my phone then once I got out of that I opened it again. It shows the title screen and then continually crashes after that. Won't download this app again. And it is happily deleted!

### 1/5 — Terrible terrible TERRIBLE!!!!!!

*2012-11-05*

It crashes EACH TIME I CLICK ON THE APP!!!! Wouldn't even give it 1 rating if this didn't FORCE me to! No point even downloading the app cause its not gonna work!!!!!! I don't know HOW my sister gets it to work! Or maybe she DOESN'T but plays the REAL GUITAR!💔it just leaves me really heartbroken!💔 so PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE fix this app! No wonder it's FREE!!!

### 2/5 — Don't update!

*2012-10-31, version 2.4.04*

Sorry to say...deleted acoustic guitar app. Would not open; updated it to current version and still no luck. Used to love it, but now it's a no go. Hope you can make it work on iOS 5 soon.

### 2/5 — Illogical

*2012-09-27, version 2.4.03*

The sound is ok but you have to switch between major and minor settings which is illogical if you're actually trying to play a song. Why don't they have the option of just picking a key to play within?  It doesn't make any sense. I tried to use this with patients who have limited physical movement but it was frustrating so I  just ended up just downloading another app.

### 1/5 — No sound

*2022-03-23*

There is no sound for the guitar:(

### 1/5 — I hate it

*2021-02-14*

This is stupid

### 1/5 — Averts just adverts

*2018-08-19*

How did this get past apples rules? Its just endless adverts making the app unusable. Total rubbish. Deleted.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2015-08-13*

Doesn't work at all, riddled with ads. Up yours Springfield

### 1/5 — Too many adds

*2015-07-28*

Way too many adds.
Keeps on poping.
After a while, this app is to boring.
Didn't use it for more than one minute and then gladly removed it!

I had to give it 1 star.
Coulnt give less but that's what It would deserve !
Waste of time !

### 1/5 — Dont get

*2014-11-23*

Sounds like a really out of tune guitar.

### 1/5 — Forget This!

*2014-04-28, version 3.0.1*

I actually play guitar and found this extremely difficult to use.  I also disliked the advertising that took over the whole screen and took forever to allow me to delete it.  Don't bother trying this one...it's just frustrating!

### 1/5 — No volume

*2014-02-21*

There's no volume, but the layout looks fine.

### 1/5 — Worst app ever! Ads get in the way

*2013-06-22*

This is one of the worst apps ever. Reason being is the Ad placement gets in the way of actually playing.

 The ads take forever and you can't close the ads until it fully loads. So if an Ad fails to load, your stuck looking at a blank screen until you reload the app. 

Will update review if they fix the issues.

### 1/5 — No Sound - Advertisements

*2013-03-16, version 2.4.09*

It didn't make a sound and there's a banner for rotating ads. Why do apps do this. If I had known in advance that there are ads, I wouldn't have downloaded.

AN APP HAVING ADS SHOULD BE REQUIRED BY APPLE TO CLEARLY STATE THIS UP FRONT IN THE APP'S DESCRIPTION.

Rating requires at least one star. For having ads, the REAL rating is ZERO STARS.

### 5/5 — Learn tabs here to play on guitar

*2014-04-29, version 3.0.1*

Honestly just started playing guitar 7 months and this is so simple to learn on here.... It's step by step to playing my guitar at home ....would like more of a selection for song choice but I love it ... Thanks

### 5/5 — Awesome!!!

*2013-12-23*

THIS APP IS AWESOME!! I've been looking for a good guitar app for a long time and I finally found one!! Thanks!!

### 5/5 — Mon avis

*2013-09-12*

Pour ceux qui ont besoin d'une application pour apprendre facilement les accords je vous conseille de la télécharger! Elle est utile pour les debutant et pour les avancer avec sa grande varieté d'accord et il est possible d'entendre l'accord que vous apprenez seulement en appuyant dessus!On peut aussi etre en mode solo ou vous pouvez laisser votre imagination prendre place!Cette application est vraiment sympa et en tous cas pour moi elle m'est très utile!

### 5/5 — Download, you will not regret

*2012-12-20*

I am just starting on guitar and wanted to learn the chords of a few songs to help me get my head around the finger changes on the fret board, as I will have some idea of what to change to, this app on chords setting lets you tap your left finger to the tune of the song and your right for the correct chord and whilst saying the chord at the same time as pressing, this is a great tool. My favourite is hallelujah, ( C, AM, C, AM, F, G, C, G, C, F, G, AM, F, G, EM, AM.) and this app really helps. Would happily pay my 69 penneth's worth for this. Well done to developers, reflected in the rating.

### 5/5 — -_-

*2012-10-25*

New update won't let me play e chords! There's always a freaking ad in the way. I get that free apps have to have ads but this is ridiculous!

### 5/5 — Guitar app

*2012-10-14, version 2.4.03*

The guitar app is very fun to play, consistently responds well, and (so far) is glitch free. The music is in tune. I highly recommend this app!

### 5/5 — Banañas

*2012-10-11, version 2.4.03*

It helped me make my own music
Without buying a real guitar although
It does not sound as good

### 5/5 — Ur rong

*2012-07-08*

Mine is working perfectly it's doing what I want it to do maybe ur iPod or iPhone isn't working as it should be

### 5/5 — Cool

*2012-06-09*

Cool

### 5/5 — Good App

*2012-05-11, version 2.4*

I don't know why everyone is saying it doesn't work b/c it does work you just gotta make sure the sound for alerts and stuff is on in your settings.
