It has been a while and I don’t see any updates on that. **Developer response:** Hi! Sorry to hear the app keeps crashing since your phone update. Our team is aware of this issue affecting some devices after the latest iOS release and is working on a fix that should be released early November. We know how annoying this can be and truly appreciate your patience. Please keep an eye out for updates, and if needed, you can reach us anytime at https://www.ubisoft.com/help ### 2/5 — Schöne App, aber nicht im vollen Umfang nutzbar *2025-09-07* Es ist toll, dass es etwas gibt, dass man nicht zwangsweise das kabelgedöns braucht. Zum stimmen toll, nur der Rest naja. Ich kann meine App nicht mit rocksmith+ verbinden, trotz gleicher WLAN Verbindung **Developer response:** Thanks for the kind words and for sharing your experience ! We’re glad you enjoy the tuning features! As for the connection issue, make sure both your app and device are on the same network and that permissions (like mic access) are enabled. If the problem persists, our support team can help: https://www.ubisoft.com/help 🎸 ### 1/5 — This is ridiculous *2025-03-08, version 2.11.1* I’ve spent all of my morning downloading the app on my ps5 and it’s asking me to make an account and no matter what I do it says my email is invalid wich it is not this is so frustrating thank u for waisting my time ### 3/5 — The tuner is deaf!! *2025-01-03* I love the tuner it has a lot of tunings and stuff but it CAN NOT hear like at all i swear to god when it finally picks up sound and my guitar is cranked up to highest tuning it finally shows its right then i pluck literally the same tring and it shows its too flat or sharp! ### 3/5 — Bass tuner won’t work *2025-01-02* This app is great, but there’s a slight problem with the base tuner every single time I try to tune the G string it confuses it for the D string and I can’t tune it and it will not budge to the G string and I would love for the problem to be fixed so I can tune my G string on my base overall great app just one small problem ### 1/5 — Won’t connect to my PS5 *2024-12-05* App won’t ask for permission to access devices in my network, so it can’t connect to my ps5 ### 1/5 — Not worth having this version *2024-10-22* Spent the free trial week already. Just won’t stick around for the retarded free songs. Gonna delete this and find where I can learn the songs I really want to spend my time/money on. I really hoped I’d find the music I love here, but I was let down. It’s only saving grace was Linkin park and SpongeBob, and i really could’ve just YouTubed the 100% difficulty set up for completely free. ### 1/5 — Broken *2024-09-24* This was the best app for fine tuning until the most recent iOS update. I can no longer enable microphone access. ### 1/5 — App won’t prompt me for microphone access *2024-08-29* When I open the app it says they need microphone access. I press the button that takes me to settings but there’s nowhere under Rocksmith to enable the microphone. When I go into the main microphone setting I’m Setting, Rocksmith does not appear there either to toggle on/off. ### 1/5 — awful *2024-08-01, version 2.9.0* i just wanted to play the songs that they said were free at the start but when i tired to they tried to get me to subscribe ### 1/5 — Doesn't work for iPhone 6 and below *2024-07-26* I downloaded this some time ago and forgot why I deleted it. Today, I wanted to try RockSmith+ on PC. Lo and behold, only 7 and up iPhones work. Even though I have a compatible firmware to download it. What a waste of time. ### 2/5 — Schicke App mit einem Aber *2024-06-23* Die App sieht sehr schön aus und gefällt mir. Leider kann ich die App nicht mit meiner PS5 verbinden. Damit ist sie für mich leider nicht benutzbar. Ich würde mir hier noch eine manuelle Eingabe der IP-Adresse meines Systems wünschen. So ist es z.B bei der PlayLink App für das Spiel „Wissen ist Macht“ möglich und macht die Verbindung zwischen App und PS5 möglich auch wenn das WLAN oder der Provider die Sichtbarkeit der PS5 verhindert. **Developer response:** Hallo, vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback zur Verbesserung der Konnektivitätsoptionen. In der Zwischenzeit tut es uns leid zu hören, dass du Probleme mit der App hast und wir würden gerne sehen, ob wir dir mit den aktuellen Einstellungen helfen können. Bitte kontaktieren Sie den Ubisoft-Kundensupport unter www.ubisoft.com/help/contact und wir werden unser Bestes tun, um Ihre Probleme zu lösen. ### 1/5 — Not compatible with older iPhones *2024-06-18, version 2.8.0* Poor show ### 1/5 — Aplicativo não é gratuito *2024-06-15* Assim q tentei fazer o download tentaram debitar o valor de 18 reais do meu cartão sem nenhum aviso prévio ### 1/5 — Tuber settings don’t enable mic *2024-06-15, version 2.8.0* When I start the app it has a pop up saying Let’s Mic Up and a button to open siettings on my iPhone 15 Pro but there isn’t a mic setting for the app. When I use the Rocksmith+ app on my phone it did have an extra setting to allow the microphone and the tuner in that works fine. How when I’m trying to use Rocksmit+ on my PS5 it’s expecting me to connect with the Rocksmith Turner app so no there’s mic enabled in that. ### 4/5 — Great tuner one problem *2024-06-12* It’s really good if you wanna tune outside of just standard like other apps will have you pay to tune in like drop D. But when the app updates it ask for access to mic but there is no way to give it access unless you delete and redownload it ### 1/5 — Log in problem *2024-06-08* Its a ubisoft application of course its gonna have huge problems My ubisoft account is set on my psn id and it should let me log in with it like every other app instead i get email password and i cant even get log in with email **Developer response:** Hi, we're sorry to hear that you've been having trouble. Please reach out to Ubisoft Support at www.support.ubi.com and we'll try our best to resolve your issues. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Broken app *2026-06-06* Try to play acoustic and this app won’t connect or miss half of what you play. It’s Fun when you get connected But if your trying to learn guitar this isn’t the method **Developer response:** Thanks for the honest review, and sorry the detection's been patchy in acoustic, we know how much that matters when you're learning. Acoustic picks up through the mic, so it's sensitive to the room: playing somewhere quiet, keeping the guitar freshly tuned, and checking the input source usually tightens it up a lot. If it's still missing notes, share your setup at www.ubisoft.com/help/contact and we'll help you dial it in. ### 1/5 — Verbindung nicht möglich *2026-04-12* Ich versuche mich mit der PS5 zu verbinden. Klappt gar nichts ### 1/5 — Conexão *2026-04-09* Acabei de baixar o aplicativo e tete loga em minha conta mas não aparece a opção de logar com o Xbox e muito menos com a steam **Developer response:** Thanks for reaching out. Just to clarify, Rocksmith+ isn’t available on Xbox at the moment. If you’re playing on PC, the same account should normally work across supported platforms. f the issue continues, please contact our support team so we can investigate further. ### 1/5 — Conexão ruim *2026-01-07* Não conecta de modo algum **Developer response:** Sorry to hear you're having trouble connecting. This issue doesn’t affect all users or regions, but our team is actively investigating. Please consider opening a ticket here: www.ubisoft.com/help/contact - it helps us understand and resolve the problem more efficiently. ### 1/5 — This sucks crusty butt *2026-01-04, version 2.12.0* I was just tuning my b string in standard e and it would only read as the g string and it caused my string to break I would not recommend just buy a physical tuner or ask a friend for free ### 1/5 — don’t *2025-11-09, version 2.11.1* don’t even bother trying to connect it to rocksmith ### 1/5 — Cannot even login anymore *2025-10-10* Every update it gets worse, I really want to like this as was a big fan of RS 2014, but after a few good sessions there was an update and I got network errors trying to connect. Then the latest update and cannot even login. I’ve tried contacting support and no replies. Sadly I made the mistake of paying for the subscription. **Developer response:** We’re really sorry to hear this — especially from someone who’s supported Rocksmith since 2014. We understand how disappointing it is to face login issues after enjoying a few good sessions. The latest iOS update has introduced some technical challenges, including connection problems for some users. We’ve identified the cause and the team is working hard on a fix ! If you already have a ticket, feel free to share the ID so we can help escalate it. Thanks for your patience — we truly appreciate your support. ### 1/5 — Não conecta *2025-06-18* Não conecta de jeito nenhum o app com o ps5 **Developer response:** Oi! Sentimos por isso. Verifique se o app e o PS5 estão na mesma rede Wi-Fi e com permissões ativadas (como o microfone). Se ainda assim não funcionar, nosso suporte pode te ajudar: https://www.ubisoft.com/help 🎸 ### 1/5 — Too hard *2025-06-03, version 2.11.1* I tried to sign in but it never gave me a code after i made a account ### 1/5 — Connection of app to PS5 over same network *2025-05-25, version 2.11.1* Okay, took me a while last night but managed to get it working. Was excellent. I wake up today and will the app connect and recognise my PS5 on same network? No it will not. Terrible inconsistency with this app, I was about to start a subscription but this is really putting me off right now if it’s going to be this painful just connecting the app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Pls do me a favour *2025-10-11, version 2.11.1* My type of 🎸 doesn’t work with the game well because the game doesn’t support it so I watched videos and I really like it! My brithday is in 58 days pls make a wired piano keyboard for ps5 ### 5/5 — Amazing May need Update *2025-03-29* I’m experiencing audio drops I’m not sure if it’s battery lose or frequency malfunctions ### 5/5 — Wow *2024-12-01, version 2.11.1* Nice tunings ### 5/5 — Good to see a free chromatic tuner *2024-03-30* Quite accurate too ### 5/5 — Super handy *2023-05-24* Such a handy app for musicians **Developer response:** Hi Russell, we definitely agree. Thank you for your support and review! ### 5/5 — Accurate and quick! *2023-05-24* I’m new to playing bass and found this app to be super easy to use. **Developer response:** Thank you for your review! We appreciate your support and wish you the best on your bass playing journey! ### 5/5 — The Best Tuning App Ever Conceived *2023-05-24, version 2.0.1* You can delete all the other tuning apps you have ever used - I just did! The ease, and precision, of Rocksmith Tuner is nothing shy of incredible! I absolutely love, love, love, the ability to tune to 29 additional tunings (other than E Standard). Extremely helpful to acoustic guitar players bouncing around between Joni Mitchell, David Crosby or Neil Young tunings. I’d give it 6-stars (one for each guitar string) if that was an option. ### 5/5 — Best tuner yet! Free for real. *2023-05-11* Been using Guitar Tuna. This one is easier to use. Super accurate. Alternate tunings a big plus. And this tuner doesn’t ask you for money. **Developer response:** We're glad to hear that you're enjoying the tuner and finding it accurate! Making a free tuner app that's truly free was very important to us and we appreciate your review and support! ### 5/5 — easy with good readings *2023-05-05* This has been super intuitive and gives the the exact same reads as my Peterson stroboclip. honestly wish I had found this earlier bc I always have my phone on me so don’t need a separate tuner. seems like some of the other reviews mention connection issues. I’m running it on iPhone 14 with iOS 16 and haven’t had any problems (as of May 2023) **Developer response:** Hi Jens, we're glad to hear that our tuner app stands up to other tuners and performs just as well! Thank you for your review and support! ### 5/5 — Best tuner ever *2023-05-05* Works amazingly well! **Developer response:** That's great to hear!
