I like how no one from Yamaha has responded to this issue either as it seems to be a pretty common complaint. ### 1/5 — Guitalele Tuning Still Missing! *2022-08-21, version 2.0.3* Yamaha makes a nice guitalele but not an app to tune it. Lefty support is missing as well. ### 5/5 — Yamaha bass *2022-07-16, version 2.0.3* It’s a great app it’s a great app it ### 2/5 — Can’t create account *2022-01-05, version 2.0.3* Registration process requires a zip code. App doesn’t recognize it as being valid. Why does it need it anyway? ### 1/5 — Unusable *2021-07-10, version 2.0.3* Wouldn't recognize the picture of the model number of my Pacifica. I even tried typing it in (pac112j and pac 112j) to no avail. Guess I'll use the Fender app since it doesn't care what brand of guitar you bought. ### 2/5 — Guitalele tuning missing *2020-03-07, version 2.0.1* Please add the guitalele tuning so I can properly tune my G1. Thanks! ### 1/5 — Does not work. *2020-01-15, version 2.0.1* Software does not recognize the guitar serial number in picture or text. ### 1/5 — Good idea, bad application *2019-06-28, version 1.06* I like the concept, but it won’t let me create an account. ## Frequently asked questions about Player Port ### What does Player Port do?
