### 1/5 — Doesn’t make any sounds

*2026-03-19, version 1.1.0*

I loaded this app and hoped I could play ukulele sounds. But nothing came out.  Was able to set chords but swiping across the screen and no sounds came out.   I checked again with my headphones, but again nothing came out.     So this app gets a bad rating as it doesn’t do what it claims

### 1/5 — Bad

*2026-01-11*

No, no, no Bad

### 3/5 — I don’t know

*2024-01-26*

Kind yes kinda no it made sound when I turned it all down so idk…

### 5/5 — The best app ever

*2023-11-08, version 1.1.0*

This is literally one of the coolest app I’ve ever played😃. When I forgot to bring a ukulele at my school, I can just use this digital ukulele😃 It also have a tuner So when every time my ukulele is out of tune, I just use the tuner😃this is the best app I’m so lucky I found this app. I want to rate it ♾️/5😄

### 4/5 — ideas for ur game

### 4/5 — No sounds

*2021-02-15*

This is a great app for playing the ukulele when you dont have one, saw a video about this app and had to try it put, pretty good app tbh, But i get no sound , i strum the strings, i get no sound, i have my volume all the way up but when i strum i get no sounds. Sorry but I have to give it 4 stars, overall its a great app :D

### 1/5 — Add in tabs

*2020-07-29, version 1.1.0*

I want a free tabs thing in this because the chords are hard and I want tabs aswell as chords and this is really hard to use and can you please update this app? It would be good if you could so I can do the tabs

### 4/5 — 初心者なので

*2020-04-21, version 1.1.0*

本物を買う前に練習できそうなアプリを探し、こちらにたどり着きました。コードを覚える練習になりそうです。板？弦？の位置がもう少し下というか、右端というか…実際に押さえやすい位置にあれば、もっと良かったなぁと思います。iphone5cという古い機種でも動くのが嬉しいです。音は普通にしっかり鳴ります！
