Geht’s noch?!

Hatte die App für meinen Sohn gekauft und gedacht sie wäre so wie simply piano. Man schließt gleich ein Jahresabonnement für 139€ ab mit 7 Tage Kündigungsfrist. Nachdem mein Sohn voller Enthusiasmus die einführenden Theorielektionen gemacht hatte bleibt die App einfach hängen - es geht nicht mehr weiter. Eine vernünftige Hilfestellung gibt es ebenfalls nicht, aber dafür wird man mit Emails vollgespammt. Absolut unmöglich, konnte zum Glück noch kündigen!

Hallo, du hast völlig recht: Für Horn gibt es in tonestro aktuell noch keinen eigenen Lernpfad wie z.B. für Violine oder Klarinette. Der Kauf des Abos schaltet allerdings die komplette tonestro App für 15 Instrumente frei: eine große Songbibliothek, Live-Feedback zu Tonhöhe und Rhythmus, allgemeine Theorieinhalte sowie wöchentliche Challenges, mit denen dein Sohn trotzdem sinnvoll üben kann. Wir erweitern tonestro laufend um neue Kurse und Instrumente, Horn steht dabei bereits auf unserer internen Liste.

Not enough

The app might be good for beginners, but it doesn't have enough content for advanced musicians.

- The available songs are to easy and to short.

- More exercises for tone precision and higher tones would also be nice

At the moment I think the price is too expensive for what the app offers. If more complex music tracks are added every month, I wouldn't mind a subscription

DO NOT GET

The app helps with rhythm not actually playing. So many errors occurred in like 4 minutes. You have to get premium to do anything! All the “help” is videos that are NO HELP!

Response from developer

Hello, we take our users' feedback very seriously. Could you please give us more details about your experience with our app? We are open to feedback and suggestions for improvement. You can contact us at support@tonestro.com. Thank you very much!

Worst

You have to pay the rest like the first to lessons are free but of course they have to make it 12 dollars 😡

Response from developer

Hello Niki, we are sorry that our app did not meet your expectations. The free part of the app is designed to give you a non-binding insight into the type of lessons we offer. Our musicians and software specialists are working full time to provide a quality learning opportunity to support others who do not have access to in-person lessons. With Premium you can learn with many video tutorials, exercises, songs and compete with other musicians worldwide with our weekly challenge. Without the Premium option, we would no longer be able to maintain and improve the app 🎶

Buyer Beware

This “free” app charged me $150. I’ve disputed the charge but have not been refunded. I did not even use the app.

Response from developer

Hello, we are really sorry that unexpected costs have arisen. As a rule, the subscription amount is only debited when the free trial offer ends and was not cancelled in due time. Please check the registration date and compare it with the date of your cancellation. If you have any further questions or need assistance, our support team is always available at support@tonestro.com. It is important to us that you are satisfied with our app.

Not recommended

It really only helps with the notes themselves, it doesn’t really tell you how to set your, embouchure, or how to actually change pitch with your lips, personally I only used it for the tuner, it was helpful to see what note I was playing. Then the free trial ended, and I stopped using it completely. Overall, not a very good app.

Response from developer

Hello, thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that the app didn't meet your expectations in terms of embouchure and pitch control guidance. While our primary focus has been on note recognition, we understand the importance of these other aspects for a holistic learning experience. Your comments give us valuable insight into areas we can improve, and we're certainly open to making enhancements based on user feedback.

Doesn’t listen

One of Tonestro’s great features is that is listens to you play and tells you if youre in tune. I’ve tried this function with Trumpet and Trombone and it works great.

Tonestro for French Horn is all together different. Instead of games where you play and tonestro listens the only game you play is the rhythm game.

With the rhythm game you tap on a button on your screen and the app play the notes as you tap. That’s it. You don’t play and it listens, you tap and it plays.

It’s almost pointless and certainly not worth using for more than a few minutes.

Best app

I downloaded this as a joke, I had been playing French horn for three years. This is actually turned out to be a really outstanding app. Would highly recommend

Response from developer

Hi, thank you very much for your feedback! 😊 Great that you enjoy the app and that you like practicing the French horn with tonestro 🎵

Great App for Practicing

As someone picking up the horn again after 20 years, Tonestro has been great at helping me regain my pitch and rhythm. The challenges are a good way to gauge my progress, and I’m looking forward to future updates.

My one complaint is that the app doesn’t work in landscape mode on the iPad unless I’m in an actual song. I have to turn my iPad to portrait mode whenever I’m navigating to the next song in my challenge.

Response from developer

Hi, thank you very much for your feedback! 😊 Great that you like our app and that tonestro motivates you to practice with your french horn 🎵 We are already working on improving the user experience for landscape mode!

A great addition to the brass community

Overall the app is very good packed with features that are very useful and the app itself is very educational and possibly one of the best of its kind.
But I would like to see a live fingering display that will tell you the right fingerings for beginners I think that would help a lot and would love to this implemented in the future.
Overall great app definitely would recommend.

Potential

I love the way it sees my intonation issues and rhythm mistakes but the app constantly hangs after I finish performing or practicing. Sometimes it says no internet connectivity but my internet is fine. Need to fix this bug to make it useable.

Response from developer

Hi, thanks a lot for your review! Great that tonestro supports you in improving and training pitch and rhythm with your French Horn. Can you give us more information about the app crashes? Please get in touch with us via support@tonestro.com, I’m sure we will find a solution. -Mari

Response from developer
