## Most critical reviews (8 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — App not working

*2026-05-07*

This app doesn’t work on my iPad, it attempts to open then abruptly shuts down.

**Developer response:** Hi - can you please email me (support@guitarviz.com) and let me know what iOS version you have? The app doesn't work on really old versions (in which case I'll gladly refund your money). Thanks, Kevin

### 1/5 — Opens then close’s 🤦‍♂️

*2025-11-11*

This app opens then closes instantly. I tried getting help… crickets.
Would love a refund but the same response about that Apple … crickets.
I would stay clear until gets worked out.

**Developer response:** Hey, I'm really sorry for the late response! I'm still getting used to App Store and how I get notified of reviews. The latest don't always show up on my phone, seems I have to check the back end instead; and I never received any email. The app went through beta testing with dozens of users and there was only one user who had a similar problem, on a ten year old iPhone. I would love to troubleshoot this with you; can you email me at support@guitarviz.com? I will also gladly refund your money, or you can request it at reportaproblem.apple.com. Thanks, Kevin (owner).

### 2/5 — Könnte so viel mehr sein

*2026-01-20*

Tolle Idee schlecht umgesetzt. Anzahl der Beispiele sehr begrenzt. Riffs und Licks nicht animiert. Grafik nicht zwischen Komponenten abgestimmt. Tonbeispiele nicht auf chromatische Verschiebungen abgestimmt, sondern immer gleich. Erklärungen banal. Geld nicht wert. Sorry!

### 5/5 — Great after CAGED and 7 Modes

*2026-05-23*

This app is just what I needed. My playing sounded like scales and this app takes me to the next level. I love it! Thank you for this!!!🙏

### 5/5 — Great App, even better idea!

*2025-12-26*

Amazing concept! 
Really easy to navigate.
I’m hoping he’ll keep adding more Riff and Licks, it is nice to have some quick references in the phone.
It works perfectly fine and I have cero complains, unlike the Karen below

### 5/5 — Fantastic app

*2025-10-20*

The app works perfectly!! So many different shapes and sounds, and the best part is no ads or subscriptions. Feels like a small fee for a service I’ll use for years. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Missing Puzzle Piece

*2025-10-14*

Most guitar lessons and apps are too specific (you learn one song but not how to apply it to others) or too general (scales that could apply to anything but don’t sound like what you want to play). THIS is the missing puzzle piece to help you see how rock is constructed on guitar, with usable chunks of chord/riffs that apply to lots of different songs and keys. 

Excellent!

### 5/5 — Simple, wonderful learning tool

*2025-10-11*

As someone who has been learning guitar for just under a year now, this app gives me exactly what I’m looking for in terms of just giving me the information I need to learn on my own, in a simple, easy way.
