Highly irritated don’t buy it. ### 1/5 — Am liebsten keine sterne *2025-12-25* Man wird nur vollgespammt mit Werbung oder dass man zahlen soll keine Lieder kostenlos verfügbar absolut nicht zu empfehlen ### 1/5 — All paid, nothing free *2025-09-05* Waste of time, don’t download ### 1/5 — Sucks *2025-03-28, version 2.0* I got this cause I wanted to learn Keylimba, but everything is premium, premium premium and pay pay pay I don’t suggest getting it👎🏻 ### 1/5 — If I could give 0, I would *2025-01-17, version 2.0* You can play 3 notes without paying. Money grab ### 1/5 — You basically have to pay for the whole app *2024-12-26* You needed to go pro to use almost everything on the app. I just started out and am trying every app to see what’s the best and it didn’t seem good enough to want to pay to go pro. ### 1/5 — Charges *2024-11-24* I can’t learn without paying ### 1/5 — Not many songs… *2024-11-24* I thought there would be more songs for a paid app. There are only 69 songs. Update: 11/23, I received feedback on my review from the developer saying they’ve updated the app and to check it out and I am even more upset that I paid for this app and now I cannot access any of the songs without paying for a subscription.

Sorry ### 2/5 — Not many songs… *2023-01-07, version 1.3* I thought there would be more songs for a paid app. There are only 69 songs. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
