### 3/5 — Needs some help

*2026-07-10, version 2.9.1*

Please help with continuous crashing, can’t even play

### 3/5 — Good but you have to pay

*2026-06-20, version 2.9.1*

You have to pay to use 95% of the features even though they advertise it as a completely free app

### 4/5 — Works but there’s room for improvement

*2026-05-28*

UPDATE:

So after some trouble shooting, I’ve figured out that I can bypass the server issue by simply staying out of the “play” tab. I can still access pretty much everything through the “home”, “learn” and “search” tabs. So the issue has been deescalated from catastrophic to minor annoyance.

I still think a paid app shouldn’t have issues like this that customers are left to navigate on their own, rather than the developer making it seamless. This is probably why other guitar apps have much larger user bases. But at least Rocksmith is priced more competitively to somewhat make up for it.

The only other criticism I have for now is that the song selection could be better. A lot of artists and songs are not available, and there’s no funk music category at all, which is a big disappointment for bass players.

But there is still a decent selection to choose from. Plenty to keep you busy, especially if you’re a beginner. The technique exercises are good too. That’s honestly one of the biggest selling points for me.

All in all, it’s a very effective app for helping you learn to play while making it engaging and interactive. I think gamified training is one of the best ways to learn. It just needs more attention and care from Ubisoft to bring it to the level of it’s competitors.

I’ll stick with it for now and update if there are further issues or changes.

-

Basic technique exercises work, but as soon as you try to play a song, the app blocks you with “can’t connect to server” error messages.

The songs load just fine, but the app will continuously stop playback and interrupt you with error messages, making it impossible play.

What’s shocking to me is that there are reviews going back MONTHS complaining about this issue, so I know I’m not the only one. And Ubisoft STILL hasn’t fixed it.

You have a lot of nerve charging money to use this app, and then refusing to support it or fix problems. This is exactly why people hate Ubisoft.

### 4/5 — Good. Not Great.

*2026-03-25, version 2.9.1*

The service breaks and has issues from time to time. I’ve learned the tricks (going to Reddit, doing a fully app uninstall/restart/install) to get by now. Song selection is getting better and better, but more would be great.

### 2/5 — Crashes a lot on iPad

*2026-03-19, version 2.9.1*

I like the app but it crashes a lot during and at the end of songs. Very frustrating. Not sure I’m going to renew my subscription with this instability.

### 4/5 — PentAtonica

*2026-03-16, version 2.9.1*

Aún faltan las penratonicas como el viejo rocksmith

### 3/5 — Great app but…

*2026-02-10, version 2.9.1*

Idk if it’s my cable or what but lots of lag between hitting the strings and hearing the audio. My notes are still recorded accurately but the audio sounds bad/not in time with the song

### 3/5 — NO ARCADE!!!!!!

*2026-01-05, version 2.9.0*

Why no arcade the arcade was fun!

### 2/5 — 不具合が多すぎる

*2026-01-03*

サーバーの通信障害やアプリの不具合が多すぎる。プレイ中に止まることも頻繁。iOS26への対応がされないまま2カ月ほど放置されていたことも。

サポートに問い合わせたところサブスクリプションの返金を推奨されるが、その後のサポートがなく、結局返金されない。

ゲーム自体は正しく動けば楽しいが、正規の価格でサブスクリプション加入は勧めない。

なお、サーバー障害の場合はPlayStation5など他のプラットフォームでプレイしても、当前のことながらエラーメッセージがプレイ中に表示される。

### 1/5 — Constantly losing connection to the servers

*2025-12-31, version 2.9.0*

Can't go more than 30 seconds without being disconnected from the servers, which stops the video I'm watching or song I'm playing. I'm glad I only paid for one month of this rubbish!

### 1/5 — Still a long way to go.

*2025-12-31, version 2.9.0*

I’m updating my review. This sucks. I paid for a one year subscription because of a big discount. Now a month later and I can’t even play. The past 7 days, that’s SEVEN, a full week and every time I log in and start a session I get a message “we’re having trouble connecting with our servers, please try again later.” I contacted the customer support link in the app and had to chat with a bot. Was told someone would respond in 48 hours but that was 4 days ago. Longer than 48 hours I would say. Oh well,  they didn’t offer many songs I wanted to learn anyway. I’m just upset I wasted my money on something I knew was faulty from previous experience anyway. Fool me once shame on you but  fool me twice, guess I’m the fool.

### 1/5 — It does not work. I do not recommend downloading and definitely discourage subscribing.

*2025-12-29, version 2.9.0*

The other recent reviews go into more detail. It is a waste of time and money to try to use this app on a current iOS, iPadOS, and probably more. It does not work.

### 1/5 — No ozzy no Motley Crue no Black Sabbath no Dio no quiet riot desperately needs more songs

*2025-12-27, version 2.9.0*

Definitely needs more songs would to rate higher but this is a deal breaker

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2025-12-27, version 2.9.0*

Keeps losing the connection to the Ubisoft servers

### 1/5 — no way to disable noteway VERTICAL tab

*2025-12-25, version 2.9.0*

no way to disable noteway VERTICAL tab. stupid design. tabs are horizontal guys.

### 1/5 — Thank god I was refunded

*2025-12-22, version 2.9.0*

When Rocksmith stopped working on my Mac, I was pretty devastated since I had amassed quite a bit of songs that I had purchased to practice. I recently found out that Rocksmith+ works on ios and had to jump at the opportunity. After paying about $152 for the year, I continued to enjoy my 7 day free trial. Once the 7 day trial was over, I could no longer access my subscription. I spent so much time trying to find answers on the internet but nothing worked. Finally, I opted for requesting a refund which thankfully was granted. DO NOT BUY ROCKSMITH+ ON IOS.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Worst Guitar App of All

*2026-08-15, version 2.9.1*

For $20 a month there are exponentially better options with real resources and lessons. This app is all marketing with no serious material or effort.

### 1/5 — Horrible Customer Service

*2026-08-12, version 2.9.1*

This app has numerous connectivity issues, but the last straw for me was when they charged me for my monthly subscription and cancelled my membership anyway. I have the receipt from Apple proving my purchase of subscription this month, and I’m locked out of the app. I’ve tried for over a week to contact them and they haven’t gotten back to me. This is how they treat you after they take your money. I can’t say enough bad things about Ubisoft.

### 1/5 — Disappointed…

*2026-08-06, version 2.9.1*

Honestly was going to pass on the review but wanted people to know, just save your money. Been playing rocksmith for years starting with 2014 and since the implementation of payments I’ve been extremely disappointed. Notes I’m clearly hearing saying it’s not registering causing the app to pause. ( ruining any type of rhythm and flow) The cost is crazy considering 2014 had better songs and I’d say a better learning platform. They have stripped the game down and have you have to pay more for a less enjoyable experience. Not to mention they have not made any updates to fix issues or found ways to make the payment actually worth it. I WAS a fan of rocksmith until this one came out and I’m sad it’s so bad now. Better off buying a late copy of the 2014 version on an older system at this point and I guarantee you will enjoy that more than this rocksmith +. Save your money, save your money and save your money. I payed for the year and honestly just want a refund. Disappointed customer.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2026-03-11, version 2.9.1*

Continuously just says there’s an issue connecting to Ubisoft servers. Wow, no shocker there 😒 dead app for a dead useless company.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with iPad

*2026-03-01, version 2.9.1*

I downloaded this app and paid for a month because the Xbox one version is no longer supported the version on my Xbox. One works fine very accurate. This version doesn’t work at all. I hope that someday the iPad version is fixed and works so I can play locksmith again

### 1/5 — Horrible subscription service

*2026-02-18, version 2.9.1*

The old rocksmith 2014 without the subscription service to access songs was a lot better. i brought a subscription on iOS and PC just to try and get it to work instead they charged for both subscriptions and nothing worked. i contacted customer support just for them to tell me that my payment failed and that they’re canceling my subscription. even after i paid for it TWICE. Pretty disappointed considering i also payed for a real tone cable. i would suggest avoiding this new version of rocksmith at all costs. Waste of not only time but money because they can’t provide the subscription you’ve paid for.

### 1/5 — Auf iPad sehr instabil

*2026-01-28*

Bin nach längerer Rocksmith Pause (2014) auf Rocksmith+ gewechselt (mit Jahresabo). Leider läuft es auf einem iPad mit M1 und IOS26.2 sehr instabil.
Da ich kein Windows habe bleibt mir eigentlich nur noch die PS5 Version. Bei der ist aber die Latenz wesentlich höher. Sehr schade!

**Developer response:** Danke für dein Feedback ! Und willkommen zurück bei Rocksmith nach der langen Pause! 🎸 Wir haben kürzlich mehrere Stabilitätsverbesserungen für iOS veröffentlicht, sodass es auf M1-iPads jetzt deutlich stabiler laufen sollte. Falls weiterhin Probleme auftreten, kannst du gerne ein Support-Ticket eröffnen, damit wir uns das genauer anschauen können: www.ubisoft.com/help/contact. Danke für deine Geduld und deine Begeisterung für Rocksmith!

### 5/5 — GREAT APP BUT CRASHES

*2025-06-26, version 2.8.3*

I love it so much. Helps a lot. But it crashes in the middle of a song. I’m playing then the screen freezes while playing the music then it kicks you out and yeah. Pls fix dis.

### 5/5 — Loved Rocksmith 2014 Remastered

*2025-05-03*

I’ve been using Rocksmith 2014 for about 10 years. I even bought a junky old computer to keep it going after I upgraded to one with USB 3.0 (the Real Tone Cable doesn’t work with 3.0, apparently). Anyway, this app likes to use the Mic to work… except it’s terrible. We have a house of kids, things are never silent. This really messes with note recognition. So we tried to use USB A to USB C adapter with the Real Tone Cable… doesn’t work. The app is useless, which is incredible disappointing.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback and for sticking with Rocksmith over the years. We're sorry the mic and adapter setup hasn’t worked out. For the best experience, we recommend using supported hardware configurations detailed in our FAQ.  For persistent issues, please reach out at www.ubisoft.com/help/contact with your device details so we can investigate further.We’re continuing to work on improving input options and compatibility – your input helps us prioritize.

### 5/5 — Has helped me vastly improve as a self-taught bassist

*2025-03-25, version 2.8.3*

I started about a year and a half ago and have stuck with it largely due to Rocksmith. I do with there were more new songs but for the first few years of learning an instrument and get a feel for it, I think there is nothing better than Rocksmith.

### 5/5 — 向育碧旧金山与育碧大阪致敬🫡

*2025-01-05, version 2.8.2*

如上

### 5/5 — Best way to learn guitar!!

*2024-11-02, version 2.7.2*

I love this app, it’s the best way to learn guitar without leaving your house and when you have free time
