### 2/5 — Noten

*2026-08-28*

Würde mir die Noten nicht im alphabetischen Art wünschen sondern in tonsilben  (Solfège)

### 3/5 — Langue

*2026-03-03*

Problème. Je suis français et toutes les interventions ne sont pas en français. Ça pose problème. Je suis ici pour apprendre pas améliorer mon anglais. 🤣🤣🤣🤷🏿

### 2/5 — Even with premium

*2026-01-09, version 5.307*

The free plan has nothing to offer, only an intro that can easily be found on yt.
The song catalog is very limited, for that price I would expect to find some niche good pieces but there are like 60 songs and most of them are boring and overplayed. I would rather hire a teacher and buy scores.
Besides that, the interface is pretty smooth and easy to follow.

### 2/5 — Doesn’t pick up my notes

*2025-12-26, version 5.304*

It really annoying because it doesn’t register e as that note but as e flat or f? And when I play f it says it’s e.

### 2/5 — Only snippets of music even on premium

*2025-11-09*

Only snippets of music even on premium

**Developer response:** Hello,
thank you for your feedback 🎶😊! 
Please contact us directly at support@tonestro.com so we can clarify exactly what you mean and why you’re only seeing snippets. With tonestro Premium, you should have full access to all songs and content. Our team is happy to help you get everything working properly.

We’d be glad to solve this for you — and maybe you’ll update your rating to ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ once everything is running smoothly 🚀🎻.

### 3/5 — Being in tune

*2025-06-27, version 5.279*

Not very helpful with showing you how to be in tune. That is, the teacher doesn’t go into mouthpiece placement for optimal pitch.

### 2/5 — Pretty expensive for learning the clarinet

*2025-05-24*

So, I play clarinet in seventh grade band and I’m like oh it’ll be good if I get this app to learn and their are a lot of good reviews right. So it must be good. So I have my first lesson and it’s awesome but then I can’t do anything else because you would have to pay for premium and it’s super expensive and I’m like ok maybe the song library is free at least but you have to pay too so then I go to leaderboard to play music and I can but it’s a whole bunch of notes they haven’t taught you yet and then I can’t learn those notes because I have to pay. So unless you want to pay I wouldn’t get it.

### 2/5 — I'm sorry I can't do it so can you help me

*2025-05-04, version 5.269*

Love, Lillian

### 2/5 — Good info but doesn’t listen well

*2025-04-09*

I liked the information that the app gave about clarinet but the song feedback wasn’t great. I’m a grade 8 player and have a performance degree and teaching diploma in my other instrument so I know my notes and rhythm were correct and the app would only give me around 80% accuracy, it wasn’t great at recognising the same note multiple times or my open G which is slightly flat but still closer to a G than an F# (a common issue in clarinets so we often cover the tone holes with the right hand which I did).
A beginner clarinetist isn’t going to have a perfect tuning or tonguing ability so can’t help but feel this would be disheartening.
I’ve been getting so many ads for this app lately I thought I would get the free trial to see what it was actually like.

**Developer response:** Hello,
Thank you for your detailed feedback – and it’s fantastic that you're trying out tonestro as such an experienced musician! 🎶

The feedback not working properly in your case is definitely not the experience we want to deliver. There can be several reasons for this – your instrument might not be perfectly tuned to the app, the microphone could be slightly covered, room acoustics might cause echoes, or slight intonation issues (which, as you noted, are common in clarinets) may influence detection accuracy. tonestro is designed to be very sensitive, especially when detecting repeated notes quickly.

Over 100,000 musicians around the world use tonestro every week with highly positive results. Please get in touch with our support team at support@tonestro.com – we’d love to help you and ensure the best experience possible.

We hope you’ll give the app another try – and of course, we’d be delighted if you’d consider updating your review to ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️! 😊🎵

### 1/5 — Muy mal

*2026-06-07, version 6.8*

Hay más que comprar que tocar 😡😡😡😡

### 1/5 — Bezahlt - Einloggen nicht möglich

*2026-06-07*

Habe viel Geld für die App bezahlt, laut Abo dort auch „Mit Apple anmelden“ ausgewählt - aber einloggen ist nicht mehr möglich. Selten einen so teuren Kauf so bereut

### 1/5 — Don’t get

*2026-02-18, version 5.312*

I HATE THIS APP AND I WILL YOU 3 REASONS WHY

1. HORRIBLE NOTE DETECTION

2.METRONOME DOESNT WORK 

3. NO HELP AND UNCLEAR INSTRUCTIONS

### 1/5 — Zu wenige Lieder

*2025-12-31*

Es gab einfach viel zu wenige Lieder ungefähr nur 7 Stück. Für diese 7 ist es zwar schön und gut aber die Töne überprüfen klappt auch nicht immer. Man kann für mehr Stücke die Premium Version kaufen aber da haben die echt maßlos übertrieben. Die ist viel zu teuer und das ganze geht dann nur ein Jahr lang.
Ich bin echt enttäuscht, habe mich so auf die App gefreut:(

**Developer response:** Hallo Wilhelm-Norbert 🎶😊,

🎯 Live-Feedback zu Tonhöhe und Rhythmus während des Spielens
🎵 Über 1000 Songs zum Üben und Musizieren

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-12-29*

Totally useless app. Don’t waste your time and money on this thing

### 1/5 — Good but

*2025-10-17*

It’s a nice app but only for English users.
No other languages are available in the app.
So I uninstalled it.

**Developer response:** Hi,
thanks for your feedback 🎶😊! We’re glad you liked the app overall. At the moment, tonestro is mainly available in English, but we’re actively working on adding more languages 🌍🎵. Spanish is already being expanded, and additional languages are planned so that even more musicians worldwide can benefit from tonestro.

We’d love for you to give the app another try once the new language options are available. If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to reach out to us at support@tonestro.como
 📧.

We’d also be very happy if you consider updating your review to ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ in the future! 🚀🎷

### 1/5 — En anglais

*2025-09-27*

Si l’application est en français, les cours sont exclusivement en anglais, bref si vous ne maîtrisez pas la langue oubliez! 
Et bien entendu on tente de vous faire payer avant que vous ne le découvriez …. Pour avoir le seul et unique cours gratuit Qui ne vous emmènera nulle part, il faudra refuser, toutes les offres de paiement plusieurs fois…

**Developer response:** Hello,

thank you for your feedback 🎶. We understand that having the lessons only in English can be a challenge for some users. We are actively working on adding more languages, so please stay tuned a little longer.

### 1/5 — Bro

*2024-11-23*

I’m literally 12 and it says buy this for premium. You need to buy this before you play you can’t get this unless you don’t have premium… you know some people don’t have enough money to pay $32 a month or whatever just to play music on a clarinet… we are literally poor and this was making me so excited until I saw that money😭

### 1/5 — Not the best

*2024-11-06, version 5.157*

If you don’t know how to play the clarinet this is great but I don’t have the money to keep doing this. I need $39.99 but I do not have that amount of money so I cannot play the clarinet with these songs, I was really looking forward to this, and I am very upset about how I can’t play the clarinet now, the lessons that you learn at school and learn unless you are willing to spend that amount of money for these songs then yes this is perfect for you. They also have Taylor Swift songs so that might be for you but be aware this cost a lot of money in my opinion so if you’re not feeling like you should get it then don’t get it, because you can also go on the Internet and find songs just like the songs you wanna listen to it might take a little bit more work but it’ll be less than $39.99 so thank you for listening to my complaint and hopefully you’ll find something else☺️

### 1/5 — Review

*2024-05-05*

### 5/5 — SLAY

*2025-09-27*

So I got my clarinet like yesterday and I practised two hours last night and two hours right now and I’ve already been playing three songs just if you really don’t give up just don’t give up you’re going to do great I wouldn’t think I was gonna do I thought it was terrible at first kept squeaking, but if you ask your teacherin the app, she helped me and I’m really good at this now.

### 5/5 — The best app

*2025-09-17*

It was the best app ever it showed me how to read notes it show me how to play different songs if anybody wants to play clarinet. This is the app. It was a little hard playing the notes at first, and then it got really easy. I’ve been using this forever.

### 5/5 — Excellente application

*2025-07-02*

Tout est dans le titre ! J’adore vraiment Tonestro qui m’a permis de reprendre après quelques années la clarinette dès les bases.
L’interactivité et la reconnaissance du son sont excellentes. 
Les cours, les chansons, les gammes, et même les défis hebdomadaires sont variés et adaptés à plusieurs niveaux. De facile à expert. 
L’équipe du support est très réactive et extrêmement sympathique. Très à l’écoute des suggestions et en constante évolution.
Je recommande !

### 5/5 — It was amazing

*2025-02-20, version 5.257*

But it was a lil difficult because I was new but o gotten better
