### 4/5 — Features

*2026-02-08*

I would like to see an expansion of the transpose feature allowing the user to transpose on a per string basis. This would allow us to explore alternate tunings without having to change the actual strings.

### 1/5 — No guitar sounds

*2025-10-17*

Imagine releasing an app for a guitar synth gadget that has no guitar sounds…also Bluetooth connection runs about 100ms latency which makes it hard to be useful for much.

### 1/5 — No regular guitar sound

*2025-02-04*

Wanna play regular guitar

### 4/5 — Great but?

*2024-06-21*

Amazing app however it lacks many feature the pc app has and hasn’t been updated in nearly a year also the AUB3 support and background audio promised in future updates still isn’t here!

### 3/5 — Definitely an improvement over Learning Portal but accessibility is still not good!

*2023-11-05*

Glad to have this app but it is not the easiest tool to use with VoiceOver screen reader for the blind. I hope the developers will pay a bit more attension to accessibility and make the app as good as the guitar!
