DO NOT DOWNLOAD - BILLING SCAM

I am writing here because I have no other option to get a $149 refund for supposedly agreeing to a free trial and a year long subscription. It says they will send a reminder 2 days before it will charge, which is a lie, but nowhere does it even SAY i have a subscription because I never even created an account. Not on my apple account, not in the App Store, nowhere. I just got an email from TONESTRO to an email address that usually isn’t even associated with my apple items saying I had been charged, and when I clicked on the link to “manage account” it takes you to a Stripe page where they say, “unfortunately they cannot process a refund, it must happen through apple”…which is funny since this subscription shows up absolutely NOWHERE on my apple account. PLEASE REFUND MY MONEY. BEWARE of losing $150 for something I literally didn’t even have a chance to try. I wouldn’t have agreed to a 7 day trial right now anyway because I didn’t put have time. I might have tried it out with my son at a latter time but not anymore. TONESTRO, be in touch. UN-scam me, please.

Response from developer

Hi, We're sorry to hear about your frustrating experience. We take billing concerns very seriously and would like to clarify a few important points. tonestro never initiates subscriptions or charges without explicit purchase authorization. All subscription prices, trial periods, and renewal conditions are clearly displayed before purchase and require active confirmation. tonestro offers subscriptions through both Apple and Stripe. Subscriptions purchased through Stripe are managed separately and therefore do not appear in your Apple subscription settings. We have already been in direct contact with you through our support team and have addressed your individual case. Our goal is to provide a transparent and trustworthy learning experience for all our users. If you have any further questions, we're always happy to help at support@tonestro.com. Best regards, The tonestro Team

7 day “trial” requires subscription

If you want to do the 7 day trial, they make you sign up for a $150 per year subscription. They say that you can cancel the subscription in the app. The problem, and I’m sure what they are expecting, is that if you don’t want to keep the subscription that you will forget to cancel within the trial period, and then you are stuck with a year long subscription you don’t want.

1) offer a monthly subscription option
2) make the trial truly no strings attached and just stop working after the trial unless you subscribe.

Shady business practices. Deleted the app.

Hi, thanks for sharing such detailed feedback on the trial. We'll discuss it with the team and look at how we can do better. tonestro Team

Deceptive advertising

It has extremely simplified versions of sheet music and does not contain the full versions. It does not have the library that they advertise. There are no video master classes either. If you’re not a complete beginner, this is a waste of time. I was also charged during the “free” trial. Extremely disappointed. It’s a great concept and would be helpful for beginners, but it should have been advertised as such.

Horrible

I wear headphone, do feet rhytm, sharp ntoe but it keep incorrect my note, now im stuck on this lesson

Response from developer

Hi, Thanks for your feedback. If you’re already using headphones so the accompaniment can’t be picked up by the microphone, your playing should be detected reliably. 🎻 Please note that tonestro evaluates not only which note you play, but also pitch and timing. If several notes fall outside the required range, the lesson cannot be completed successfully. In that case, we recommend going back a few lessons to practice the fundamentals again before retrying this lesson. If you’re confident that you’re playing the notes correctly and they’re still regularly detected as incorrect, we’d like to investigate. Please contact us at support@tonestro.com with your User ID, device, and the affected lesson. Our team will be happy to help.

Amazing!!!

I have learned so much in the first 10 minutes.
