### 3/5 — Spoiled by omissions

*2013-08-03*

Potentially a great app, but spoiled by the fact that many important guitarists are not covered. For example, some of the most influential jazz guitarists - Charlie Christian, Django Reinhardt, Joe Pass, Wes Montgomery and Barney Kessel are all missing, despite the fact that Christian, Pass and Kessel are all included in the title page image! I hope that the developers will put this right and add those, and many more that are also missing, in a future version.
