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 ### 3/5 — mercenaries *2026-03-26, version 5.315* 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. ### 2/5 — Premium *2026-01-23* 3 essais de réglements sans suite? **Developer response:** 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 🚀🎵 ### 3/5 — Problème de connexion *2025-12-29* 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. ### 3/5 — Cambio notacion *2025-12-29, version 5.304* Estaba encantado con la app y pague agusto pero sin venir a cuento ni avisar ya no permiten la notación española, solo la americana. Para mi que estoy inciandome en solfeo es un cambio drástico. No me habria suscrito ni en sueños si llego a saber esto!!! Muy mal ### 4/5 — Good app *2025-12-07, version 5.301* I’m not kidding,this app is pretty good 👍 ### 1/5 — Shady app *2025-11-03, version 5.298* Tries to trick u into buying their overpriced plans. Stick to YouTube and don’t bother with this app ### 1/5 — Bad tonestro *2025-11-02, version 5.298* My band teacher says my B,A,G are awesome and she is a pro. When I was tuning on this app it made B,A,G have flats.👎😕🙁☹️ ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-10-02, version 5.282* I already knew how to play and this made sight reading so much easier and I could get through a new tune with out going measure by measure!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — SCAM ALERT!!! *2026-08-23, version 6.16* 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. ### 1/5 — If you want to know if you’re doing it right this app won’t tell you *2026-08-12, version 6.16* 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. ### 1/5 — Expensive *2026-08-09, version 6.16* Has terrible note recognition, terrible score system and it’s just terrible get a private tutor instead ### 1/5 — No trial *2026-07-13, version 6.15* 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. ### 1/5 — It's way too expensive *2026-04-07, version 5.316* 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. ### 1/5 — Desepcion *2026-03-20, version 5.315* 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 ### 1/5 — Nothing like the ads *2026-01-24, version 5.308* 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! ### 1/5 — DON’T DOWNLOAD *2026-01-02, version 5.304* 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 ### 1/5 — Muy caro para lo que ofrece *2025-12-15, version 5.301* Si van a cobrar una membresía, asegúrense que cubra al menos las necesidades mínimas de los usuarios como el idioma. No me parece que tengan un precio tan alto y que los videos no tengan la opción en español. ### 1/5 — Nul *2025-12-06* J’ai commencé avec cette application qui promet un apprentissage rapide. Il y’a que les premiers cours qui sont en français tout le reste est en anglais je fais comment ? J’achète votre application pour apprendre l’anglais ? Je demande le remboursement au service support pas de solution de leurs part en plus j’ai choisis 7 jours d’essais.
