User reviews

Wanted to try it. Did not work.

Installed app. Picked Bass in settings. Played notes. Nothing. App view shows guitar but seeings bass.

If this is a 'limit' of the free trial, it cost you a sale. Best the limit be one instrument, which ever one you try first. I was unable to get this app to do anything.

Worst GUI Ever

That guy, has to be the mist incompetent "pretend-to-be" developer in the world. Not only the GUI is a total mess, bugs come out like Ants found an ice-cream, but also changes the app fundamentally causing confusion.

It is at best useless and I cant imagine anyone ever paying for the extras.

What a disgrace for the dev community. Everyone thinks is a developer nowadays.

i use this app everyday. I set it a 2 minutes and go to it several times daily trying to improve my score. It works. I recommend it.

Only missing a couple features to be perfect

First, it’s always a pleasure to find an app that does what you are looking for. Then it’s an added bonus when that app is free. Doesn’t happen very often. The only features this is missing is the ability to focus on a single string at a time and limit the notes being worked on to something other than a full scale.
