No problems with the app on my iPad. ### 5/5 — Outrageously Useful *2016-09-29, version 1.2.0* VERY exciting app, a great tool for beginners, intermediate and advanced intermediate alike. So easy to learn from it. ### 5/5 — Awesome learning tool *2016-08-26* 👍🏼👍🏼 ### 5/5 — A Must Have! *2016-08-07* I consider myself an advanced beginner banjo player and have made this app a part of my practice regiment. It's appropriate for any level player. Highly recommended! ### 5/5 — Excellent *2016-07-23, version 1.2.0* Great app. Intelligently thought out. I want more like this. ### 5/5 — Great App *2016-07-10* Works well ### 5/5 — Very Nice! *2016-06-22* Look forward to future content, keep up the good work. ### 5/5 — Worth it *2016-06-04, version 1.2.0* Well worth 3 bucks. Solid base of licks and the video and audio help is great. ### 5/5 — Great lick pack *2016-04-26* Ton of killer licks really useful i'ffn you're in a rut and need some new fillers and what not. Only app I've ever spent money on and it was well worth it. -DS ### 5/5 — Quality *2016-04-06, version 1.2.0* It a good app lots of nice rolls ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Only one feature. Not worth a price. Would be worth free *2019-07-27, version 1.2.0* Only one feature. Not worth a price. Would be worth free ### 1/5 — Not very good idea for beginners. *2018-12-15, version 1.2.0* Please don’t get app unless you are experienced ### 1/5 — POS *2016-01-18, version 1.2.0* POS ### 2/5 — Disappointing *2014-09-03* £1.49 for 33 licks is not good deal. ### 4/5 — Good but not for beginners *2018-02-25* There’s no “sort by difficulty”. I’m just starting out and was hoping to quickly find some licks to ramp me up in other directions but I have to watch/view each one to get a sense of its difficulty. This app is really good, I think I’ll be using it more as I get better. For now it’ll sit on the back burner. ### 4/5 — Nice idea, nice selection *2017-06-24, version 1.2.0* Too bad new licks are not added periodically ### 4/5 — Great app, please update though! *2017-04-06* Really useful little app. Makes the learning process so much easier. Could do with a few more licks and rolls though - maybe in some different tunings (Gm gets my vote). Last update almost two years ago now! ### 4/5 — Nice app *2016-12-30, version 1.2.0* Surprisingly good app. Very good examples and very well laid out. ### 4/5 — Almost perfect *2015-12-31* Great app! I love the ability to play the slowed down sound bite while looking at the tab. It would. Be nice if you could zoom the tab though. ### 4/5 — Perfect *2015-12-20, version 1.2.0* Very well done and the best $3.00 dollars you well ever spend! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — pocket licks 1&2 *2025-02-07, version 1.2.1* Great way to make the licks stick! ### 5/5 — Great app! *2020-10-10, version 1.2.1* So glad this app got updated. Works great now. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Very good indeed *2020-06-13* Fill licks, back up licks and lick transitioning from one chord to another. Blues melodic and Scruggs - 5 stars from me 😀 ### 5/5 — Love This App *2019-02-01* I Love this app,fantastic for teaching and learning different picks!!Any other apps that you have? ### 5/5 — Fun app, well thought out *2018-09-30* Love the app. Great way to get some fills down. Works well. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2018-07-06* This app is a great way to learn licks that can add a little little sparkle to your playing. I would recommend it for the advanced beginner and beyond. It would nice to be able to control the video playback speed, but that said, well worth the 3 price. ### 5/5 — Slick *2018-04-11, version 1.2.0* I like all of the choices. You should try. ### 5/5 — Wish list *2017-06-24, version 1.2.0* Wish it had fingering notation for right and left hand. Otherwise I like everything else. Bennett emailed me to let me know tunefox does have right hand fingering notation. Also he told me updates are coming. They are busy with tunefox at this time. ### 5/5 — Inspiration *2017-06-14* Great inspiration to continue to learn and grow. It's easy to settle into your own licks, especially when you play a lot. This is an evolution for learning banjo, and a great way to stay fresh as a player. Thanks.. ### 5/5 — Every Banjo player needs these! *2017-05-12* I think beginners are easily overwhelmed with 'tunes'. These licks are nicely done.... helping us all to build our tool box in smaller increments.
