This app is amazing first time I’ll let you guys know in a week how I’m going and I’m a high schooler in 9th grade going into band for the first time because I just enrolled and never ever in my life used or played an instrument and this helped so much with the beats and notes before this app I’ve been trying to read on a book yet haven’t gotten anywhere which is upsetting although we all start somewhere and that’s called the start, Now I’m starting something new as an alto saxophone I was super mad in the beginning because I’ve missed concerts i haven’t got to play because I haven’t learned it faster now I am please I suggest this for saxophone users and use this app as ur gem to start somewhere peak because I just found a diamond and now I’m la peace💎🔥 :edit guys most of it isn’t free but it still helped. I am disappointed I wish it was free for all the other stuff but I suggest trying it out.

SCAM ALERT!!!

I was charged for something I never signed up for and had to cancel my cards. Total scam. I have no proof of a subscription anywhere and yet they tried to charge me for a full year! No subscription listed in my app or anywhere else. I have no clue why they signed me up. If you try to contact support they will not respond. Thankfully my bank flagged it as a scam and refunded me.

Hi, We take allegations like this very seriously and want to clarify exactly what happened. tonestro cannot sign you up for a subscription on its own or initiate a payment without your explicit confirmation. Purchases must be actively authorized through the respective payment process. Since you state that no tonestro subscription appears anywhere in your account, we especially want to verify whether the transaction you’re referring to can actually be linked to a tonestro purchase. Please contact us at support@tonestro.com with your User ID and a screenshot or details of the transaction in question. Our team can then check the order and subscription status and help clarify what happened. We also want to investigate your statement that you received no response from our support team. Please mention your previous request when contacting us so we can locate it. We want to make sure this case is fully clarified.

If you want to know if you’re doing it right this app won’t tell you

Doesn’t recognize correct notes all the time which makes more an inaccurate app. Also puts notes too close together in some songs to the point where you just have to guess if you’re inexperienced and can’t tell what the notes are fast enough. Especially if it’s going over a speed of 100.

Response from developer

Hi CICADA 1, Thanks for your detailed feedback 😊 Reliable note recognition is of course very important for tonestro. For the best possible detection, we recommend playing in a quiet environment and using headphones when accompaniment is enabled. Otherwise, the microphone may also pick up notes from the accompaniment and interpret them as part of your playing. For faster or densely notated pieces, you can use two fingers directly on the display to significantly zoom in on the sheet music. We also recommend practicing more challenging songs at a slower tempo first and gradually increasing the speed. 🎷 If correct notes are still regularly detected incorrectly, please contact us at support@tonestro.com with your User ID, device information, and an example of the affected song. Our team will be happy to take a closer look.

Expensive

Has terrible note recognition, terrible score system and it’s just terrible get a private tutor instead

Response from developer

Hi Trybattlecats, Thanks for your feedback. Reliable note recognition and helpful feedback are core parts of tonestro. For the best results, we recommend practicing in a quiet environment and using headphones whenever accompaniment is enabled. Otherwise, the microphone may also pick up the accompaniment and affect your score. 🎷 A private music teacher can of course be very valuable. tonestro offers a complementary and much more flexible approach: structured lessons, video tutorials, exercises, thousands of songs with high-quality accompaniment, and instant feedback on pitch and rhythm — available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year, at a fraction of the cost of a private music teacher. More than 100,000 musicians practice with tonestro every week, and many of them love exactly this flexible approach to learning. Our musicians and software specialists continuously work to improve our content, note recognition, and the overall learning experience. If note recognition is still unreliable even when using headphones, please contact us at support@tonestro.com with your User ID, device details, and a specific example. Our team will be happy to take a closer look.

No trial

Signed up for the free 1 week trial. But I canceled the subscription so I don’t get mistakenly charged. However that caused the app to think I am not in the trial. So there is no way to try the app first before paying.

I have suggestion

Even tho app good what about ai tell what we could do better in song

NO CAP THIS IS REALLY GOOD

It reads the sax really good, honesty it’s better than the app i played before(moldy cheese sax.) highly recommend for new players!

Excellent

The best app

Tonestro

This app was pretty bad. it charged my dad $100 before we even got onto my account then tonestro didn’t really teach me anything just said to play the C sharp put no fingers on the saxophone not even a finger chart.I only got it in the middle of may now it is half way through June and yesterday it kicked me out of my account so my dad took 30mins to get me back in we should not have to get in and out of my account. When my dad was writing a message to tonestro it said did not send even though we needed help.I am still using don’t don’t really recommend if you want to be randomly charged

Hi, Thanks for your detailed feedback 😊 Payments and subscriptions are handled directly through the App Store. A charge can only happen when a subscription has been confirmed through Apple. For any questions about the payment or subscription, please check the App Store subscription settings. About the login and support message: Please contact us directly by email at support@tonestro.com. This allows us to check your account, Premium status and login issue in detail. It is important to use the same email address in the app that was used for registration. In the saxophone lessons, tonestro supports you with structured exercises, songs and feedback on pitch and rhythm. If a specific note or lesson is unclear, we’re happy to take that feedback and check how we can improve the display further. 🎷 We hope you’ll contact us directly so we can look into this together — and we’d be very happy about an upgrade to 5*****!

5 stars

Dommage que je sois payant

Response from developer

Bonjour Incroyable_splendide, merci pour ton retour. tonestro propose des leçons gratuites et une période d’essai avant Premium. La version complète comprend des parcours structurés, des exercices interactifs, un feedback en temps réel, des milliers de chansons et le challenge hebdomadaire. Pour toute question : support@tonestro.com

It's way too expensive

Now I get that they might want to charge $550 for lessons after the first lesson That's a little bit too expensive at least make it affordable for younger people. You could buy another saxophone off of Amazon for that price and still have about 200-ish dollars.

Response from developer

Hi Bonjour-hi, thank you for your feedback. tonestro offers far more than individual lessons, including interactive step-by-step learning paths, real-time feedback on your playing, exercises, video guidance, tuner tools, and a growing library of songs designed to help musicians improve faster and more effectively. Many learners use tonestro as a flexible and affordable way to build skills between or instead of traditional lessons. If you have any questions about features or plans, please contact support@tonestro.com. Best regards, tonestro Team

I hate apps that do not try to prove themselves, and the first thing is to ask for subscription money; there are those that offer a trial period, and better yet satisfaction guarantee or money back, and better yet free beginner lessons and once you achieve a proficiency and wants to go up the ladder then ask for membership.

Response from developer

Hi mercenaries! We take your feedback seriously. tonestro does offer a free trial period so you can explore all features before committing to a subscription. There are also free beginner lessons available without any payment. Our structured learning paths let you progress at your own pace, with real-time feedback on your playing, interactive exercises, and a growing library of songs. If you're having trouble accessing the free content or trial, contact support@tonestro.com - our team will make sure you can experience everything tonestro has to offer before deciding. Best regards, tonestro Team

Desepcion

Al inicio todo muy buenas los videos en español y al pasar a la segunda lección los videos están en inglés y yo no sé nada de inglés, como voy a aprender. Siento que fui estafado puesto que compré la suscripción por que estaba totalmente en español y al pasar a la segunda lección ya no hay videos en español. Me siento estafado y no fue lo que esperaba

Nothing like the ads

None of the songs presented in the YouTube ads are in the lessons. Only royalty free folk and classical songs. After paying $99 I thought I would have a teaching companion for learning cool solos but not so. I worked through all the lessons in two weeks. I think I paid for their marketing campaign which makes sense since I GOT MORE FROM THE YOUTUBE ADS!

Bonjour 👋🎶 Merci de contacter directement support@tonestro.com afin que nous puissions examiner et clarifier ton problème ensemble 📧🙂 En cas de plusieurs tentatives de paiement, il s’agit généralement de raisons techniques ou liées au compte, que nous pouvons identifier rapidement dès que nous avons les détails. N’hésite pas à nous indiquer l’appareil et l’App Store utilisés, afin que nous puissions t’aider de manière ciblée 🚀🎵

DON’T DOWNLOAD

Aside from the free trial and the obvious 5-star prompts, almost everything in this app costs money. You can barely play songs to practice the skills you’re learning, and songs like “Baby Shark” are only 4 notes—there’s hardly anything to actually learn. I wish there were more songs available, but it feels like the main goal is just to make money.

The tuner is the only positive, but it’s confusing—unless it’s just me.

If the developers reply, don’t bother saying “we give you a free trial to test songs.” Yes, you do, but it’s only 7 days, and I want to constantly play songs that match my skill level—not just “Happy Birthday,” “Baby Shark,” or “Swinging Monkeys.”

Overall verdict:
• Not worth it
• Everything costs money except the free trial
• Tuner is confusing
• Barely any songs

We’re constantly improving tonestro and would love to turn this into a 5-star experience for you ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Excelente

Vale mucho la pena el precio cuando vas aprendiendo la verdad desde teoría musical hasta digitacion la recomiendo, yo la empecé por la teoría musical
Y a pesar de que soy más experimentado no me cayó mal el repasar lo básico

Problème de connexion

Je galère à connecter un deuxième device et en changeant de device je perds tout l’historique du travail déjà fait. C’est pénible même si l’application est bien faite.
