Working fine until we got the air wave.
Poorly structured, hostile to learners
First, the lessons. They are all half-cooked. They say you’re going to learn a song, teach you a tiny part, tell you in the next lesson you’ll learn more, but the next lesson is a completely different song.
Then, you land on a song you want to learn, and you go through a segment and want to practice that segment. Well you have to reset the entire lesson back to the beginning, and optionally fast forward to the segment you’re interested in, only to have it start playing immediately, causing you to scramble to pick it up. Repeat as necessary.
Finally, it’s the end of the lesson, you want to get a score to see how you did, and practice the lesson. Again you have to press retry that takes you back to the beginning so you either have to wait through the entire damn lesson all over again or scramble to fast forward and deal with that.
Again, next lesson something completely different.
Then we get into what should be the killer feature of this app the ability to practice actual songs, for instance, flowers by Miley Cyrus.
Given that in the lesson it advocates when you’re learning a song, you should take a part of that song and practice it over and over again until you get good at it and then go to the next section, there is no way to do this when you’re trying to actually learn/practice the song, forcing you into guitar hero mode rather than learning it correctly.
This is a fantastic idea for a product, but the near complete lack of thought into the user experience makes it incredibly frustrating to use.
