At first it looked very good so I downloaded it only to find that when I open it returned me to my Home Screen . I am disappointed because if it wasn’t glitchy it would be a great app for me. ### 3/5 — A little backwards *2024-02-13* Firstly, make sure mute isn’t on if you want sound. This is actually a good thing, but the app should point it out. I was confused at first. But this app seems to do things around the wrong way in a number of places. The tuner isnt a tuner, it plays notes and you tune by ear yourself. Surely A tuner should actually tell you if you are in tune? And the chord finder doesn’t find chords, you find the chords then it names them. Surely the other way around would make more sense? ### 5/5 — Love the chord library and chord finder *2024-01-20* I use this solely for the chord library and the chord finder. Those are the best tools when I’m working out sheet music or transposing something and trying to find the right sounding chords that fit. Worth it simply for those tools. ### 5/5 — I love this app *2023-10-22* There are so many Uke apps out there. Every so often I try something new and end up deleting the new app and coming back to this one. When I first started playing Uke a decade ago, I uses this app to find chords. Now that I'm a more advanced player I use this app to find scales up and down the fingerboard. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t work *2023-04-02* I loved the YouTube version and thought I would support this teacher by upgrading. As with the previous review I get no volume on the app. Big fix??? Would give a 5 star for the teacher but the app is useless without sound. ### 3/5 — Used to love it *2023-03-14* Somewhere along the way, the chord identifications scooted up into the blank notch of the phone, making this app almost useless to me. I see they state they have fixed this issue in iPhone XR. I have an iPhone 12. You shouldn’t have to have the very latest hardware for an app that’s been out a few years to work. ### 2/5 — Looks great but no sound *2022-12-22* The app looks great, I like the interface and you seem to get a lot in the free version. I’d be tempted to upgraded to pro too as it’s a one off low price but I can’t hear any of the videos. Checked phone and app settings and still nothing. Can’t learn to play if I can’t hear the lesson. ### 5/5 — Love this app. *2022-11-12, version 1.5.1* I love this app, but on some pages like the chord library the help face is blocking the right scroll arrow! Otherwise it’s very pleasant to use. ### 5/5 — AMAZING 🤩 *2022-05-17, version 1.5.1* They put a lot of work in too this I love it download it 100%😊 ### 1/5 — sucks balls *2022-01-01* everything about this app sucks don't download it you'd be better off learning tabs than this ## Frequently asked questions about The Ukulele App ### What is The Ukulele App?
