I got through the first five lessons and then they charged me! I barely learned anything! I hope they will lower the price soon, cause I’m deleting it ASAP ### 3/5 — why money *2026-08-28, version 10.28* why do i have to pay money just to play a song anyway this app is cool ### 3/5 — Dum *2026-08-28, version 10.28* This app makes you sign up and PAY 24.99 a month for lessons might as well just change apps ### 2/5 — Good lessons, but one thing… *2026-08-28, version 10.28* So it has good lessons, especially for younger players like me, but honestly it makes you pay for everything!! I couldn’t even play my first song without it going “HAHAHAHAHAHAH! NOPE YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS AND NOOOOOOO YOU CANNOT SKIP IT >:D *insert evil laugh here*” in all honesty it has a good tuner though I would say ### 3/5 — Eh *2026-08-28, version 10.28* So why does it teach the Cords to play the song BUT I HAVE TO PAY i know how It’s all. Oh It’s a free trial Bla Bla Bla. Like at least let me play the FIRST song before you block me so Th a goddamn Paywall ### 2/5 — Need the premium *2026-08-27, version 10.28* I’m sure it’s great with the premium but if you aren’t going to buy it don’t bother you get like 2 lessons and that’s it ### 2/5 — . *2026-08-27, version 10.28* the app was okay but it literally tried to make me sign up to do another course when i don’t wanna do that ### 2/5 — Review *2026-08-26, version 10.28* The app won't listen to me play at all and it doesn't give any actual feedback and you have to pay for everything for it to not even work ### 4/5 — Good *2026-08-24, version 10.28* When I first got it i really liked it. It helped me learn and practice playing guitar. Over time I stopped using it and it kicked me, out every time I try to open the app it kicked me out if anyone knows how to fix that, the please respond, that would be great. Overall, if it didn’t kick me out 9.5 out of 10 really like it!!! ### 4/5 — Amazing *2026-08-24, version 10.28* This app is amazing because it shows you how to play guitar so nicely and even has a tuner but why I rate it 4 stars is because it doesn’t teach you how to read notes! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Buyer beware *2026-08-30, version 10.29* I signed up for a 7 day free trial, which was 269 annually if I decided to go through with it. After signing up, the subscription never showed up in my apple subscriptions and the website didn’t have an account with my email. I contacted support, which is an AI chat bot, saying I didn’t want to keep the subscription but they said I have no account. Lo and behold, today was charged 269 and had to initiate a chargeback because of their useless AI chat bot. This is very scammy, so beware if you try to sign up for anything with them. ### 1/5 — Omg *2026-08-30, version 10.28* Please just make it free dude I really wanna learn guitar ### 1/5 — This app sucks *2026-08-29, version 10.28* I got this app because it had good reviews and I kept getting the ad on my YouTube account so because of that I got the app hoping I could learn to play guitar but instead it led to me snapping a string so now I need to go to the store buy a new string and wait on a response from the feedback whatever it is because it said I could leave feedback on the app, but I still have gotten no response. I’m very upset words cannot describe how upset I am that I’m just trying to learn guitar and while tuning it remind you it was tune correctly. I was just making sure that the app was on point and that it actually worked before I got into playing guitar so now I need to go to the store and buy a string that I I shouldn’t need to get because I should have been able to have tuned my guitar correctly but no instead the app led me to snapping three strings and almost ruining my guitar completely that my dead uncle made for me remind you so I hope whoever raised this review takes this into consideration before getting the app. Thank you for reading if you made it this far. ### 1/5 — Honestly stupid *2026-08-28, version 10.28* Unless you’re wanting to spend money than this app is great other than that it’s pointless and stupid. You cannot do anything unless you pay for something it lets you do the bare minimum as of basically nothing unless you pay, which is ridiculous. ### 1/5 — Awful *2026-08-25, version 10.28* Don’t do it . They took $200 off my account from a subscription that was $14.99 and free trail ### 1/5 — Horrible *2026-08-25, version 10.28* Great app on the surface but the monthly payment is too much I would consider it if it was 10 or 12 a month or a one time payment of like 20 but the 29 a month is highway robbery ### 1/5 — Why do you have to pay *2026-08-25, version 10.28* You have to pay to do one song that’s ridiculous ### 1/5 — Horrible *2026-08-24, version 10.28* I thought I had finally found an app that teaches you how to play the guitar without paying a bunch of money, I was wrong😞 ### 1/5 — Doesn’t pick up my guitar *2026-08-23, version 10.27* Sat in a quiet room and did not pick up my guitar at all not the sound nothing and my guitar is tuned thank goodness I didn’t pay for the subscription ### 1/5 — Subscription *2026-08-23, version 10.27* Dont ever get the 2 week free plan i had it for a week cancelled the subscription and now have to pay $250 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Beginners opinion *2026-08-30, version 10.29* This is really good app. I was originally starting out using a book, but it can’t tell me if I’m playing the right note it’s awesome ### 5/5 — Easy *2026-08-30, version 10.28* it’s such a great way to start playing. i’m grateful. ### 5/5 — Great for learning *2026-08-29, version 10.28* I’ve had this app 2 months now and I love how you can learn songs and play along from plucking to strumming and I love the different levels from easy to advanced.my only little issue is I’d like more different songs and not the same artist of those songs.apart from that I fully enjoy playing.ive requested certain songs but nothing ### 5/5 — The best *2026-08-27, version 10.28* Please get this app it is amazing and if you download 1 of the apps then you can get the secound one for the same price I love it please get ### 5/5 — Problem *2026-08-26, version 10.28* I like it but I’m a Begginer I don’t know how to play how do you espect to get past trough a level literally im stuck ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-08-25, version 10.28* Ok so to learn guitar I go on yt or TikTok but then don’t listen and go to fast this app helps me and they actually listen to me ### 5/5 — Thank you *2026-08-25, version 10.28* It’s amazing!!! ### 5/5 — I love it *2026-08-24, version 10.28* I love simply guitar ### 5/5 — It shows you *2026-08-22, version 10.27* It shows you so good because it teaches you unlike like YouTube videos are complicated but this is better ### 5/5 — Very good for learning guitar *2026-08-21* This app is Very good!
