### 3/5 — Does this still work?

*2021-01-16, version 1.0.6*

I just bought a new THR amp and I want to practice with this app. This app seems to not be working with iOS 14 or maybe I am not using it correctly as there isn’t any instruction. Please update the app. I think it would be very useful if it works.

### 3/5 — Hmmm

*2020-01-22, version 1.0.6*

I don’t get it? The only thing I do dig is the repeat function! Everything else in my honest opinion is kinda worthless! AND I LOVE MY THR AMPS!

### 2/5 — Doesnt play songs out of my library, tried 10 or more different songs.

*2014-12-23, version 1.0.4*

Downloaded the app, to an iPhone 6, IOS version 8.1.1. When I select a song from the app, and press play, absolutly nothing happens. I have closed all apps, and restarted this app several times. Not sure this app should have passed beta testing.

### 2/5 — Please upgrade!

*2014-12-06, version 1.0.3*

I have the THR-10C, and I miss this app! Please fix the iOS8 issues ASAP!

### 1/5 — Just bought a THR10c and the app does NOT work!

*2014-11-22, version 1.0.3*

Not compatible with ios8/iPhone6. And it doesn't look like the app has been updated in years. BUMMER!

### 1/5 — iPhone 6 upgrade please!

*2014-11-18, version 1.0.3*

Doesn't work with my iPhone 6. Please upgrade soon. Thanks.

### 1/5 — Crashes on iOS 8

*2014-10-07, version 1.0.3*

Hangs instantly when you try to adjust song speed on iPhone 6 plus.

### 4/5 — Great, but needs ability to save! Also needs iOS 8 Update.

*2014-10-07, version 1.0.3*

This app was one of the reasons I recently bought an iPhone. I wanted the ability to loop a section of a song for practicing guitar. This app does that pretty well. The feature it's lacking however, is the ability to save loops. It's time consuming having to reopen a song, find the part to loop each time you want to practice. Why not just offer an option to save loops? If they did that, I'd pay $20 for this app.

Also, apparently this app isn't iOS8 ready. I hope they do this soon so I can update my phone. Anyway…thanks for the free app. I own the THR10X guitar amp as well and would recommend it to anyone looking for a good feature rich recording device and practice amp.

### 2/5 — Problem with iOS 8.0.2

*2014-10-05, version 1.0.3*

Cannot change speed and pitch.

Best free app for practicing guitar :)

### 2/5 — Doesn't work with iOS 8

*2014-10-03, version 1.0.3*

This used to be a great little app for slowing down and isolating bits of songs I was trying to learn.  It's major flaw was that I had to re-load the song each time I sparked up the app, which was time consuming and unnecessary.  Add to that the fact there have been no updates in about 2 years and one wonders about Yamaha's commitment to the app. 

But ever since I upgraded (?) to iOS 8, the app doesn't work at all.  If they fix this bug, then great.  If not, well, at least it was free.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work with IOS 8

*2014-10-03, version 1.0.3*

:.(.. Update please

### 4/5 — Nice

*2014-04-26, version 1.0.3*

Nice app but I wish it could save songs that have been imported so that it's not necessary to reimport the same track every time the app is loaded...

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2021-10-14, version 1.0.6*

I download the app, I clicked around on all the buttons and nothing happened. I deleted the app.

### 1/5 — Nope

*2021-09-03, version 1.0.6*

It doesn’t work with IOS14.7.1. Sad. Please fix it so I can thrive as a guitarist and make my ancestors proud.

### 1/5 — Why would you release this software with all these bugs and things that need to be fixed

*2021-02-10, version 1.0.6*

You need to have every parameter adjustable and be able to be edited on this system itself that would be VMRTHR1011 or the wireless models either or you should be able to just having at least more than one to how about three how about four affects at the same time that something that shouldn’t really be that difficult this is Yamaha correct overall not too impressed you guys are leaders you make great guitars and instruments fix this

### 1/5 — Doesn't work...

*2016-06-17, version 1.0.5*

I recently bought a THR10, and love the amp! I was really excited when I heard about this app; looking forward to using some of its "abilities" to complement the use of the outstanding amp.  Well, currently, it's "abilities" amount to loading on my 6s, and an "on/off" switch that toggles.  It will not recognize any songs in my phone's memory; no music, no play...  Currently running iOS 9.3.2.  Have read rave reviews from users of less advanced phones and software versions-- C'mon guys, you can do better than this...

### 1/5 — Broken App, disappointed

*2016-03-01, version 1.0.4*

This app worked fine on my 4s, now it won't play songs on my 6s. Pretty disappointing that a company like Yamaha can't get this right.

### 1/5 — iPhone 6s no worky

*2016-01-05, version 1.0.4*

Load a song from my playlist, push 'play', nothing. Tap buttons on the screen, no sound at all. The progress bar says the song is playing, no sound.

### 1/5 — Yamaha thr 10x

*2015-11-21, version 1.0.4*

App won't play won't do anything at all

### 1/5 — Flat broken

*2015-10-28, version 1.0.4*

This app does not work...period. Yamaha, please fix this immediately because you're ripping us off. You sold this as part of the capabilities of the THR amp series.

### 1/5 — Crap

*2015-04-10, version 1.0.4*

What the #$@!  Zero instructions. Waste of time.

### 1/5 — ios8..

*2014-12-02, version 1.0.3*

.....

### 5/5 — This App has helped my career so much.

*2023-09-12, version 1.0.6*

I live this app and so thankful it still works after all these years. Hope the support somehow stays alive.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2020-08-04, version 1.0.6*

Awesome little app for learning new songs on guitar. Really cool how you can slow down the song but not change the pitch. Also, I absolutely love how it lets you isolate the guitar in a track to really hear what’s going on. Just needs some instructions!

### 5/5 — Works great again!

*2016-11-02, version 1.0.5*

Works great with ios10.

### 5/5 — Download music to device before using

*2013-10-10, version 1.0.3*

I thought this app did not work on my iPhone 5 with IOS 7 installed, however I discovered that the issue was I needed to download the song I wanted to work with ( I use iTunes Match) as   opposed to streaming the song. Just got a new THR 10C today and it is awesome, I give it a 5. From what I can tell so far this app follows suit.

### 5/5 — Sounds cleaner than stock music app

*2013-06-25, version 1.0.3*

I know it's not a music player app, but it does a better job of playing music, at least to me. I really wish Yamaha would work on a music player app. I'd be willing to pay for a music app with Yamaha tech in it.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2012-08-06, version 1.0.3*

Love the app.  Wish it worked on IPad!

### 5/5 — Ridiculously Awesome Free App!

*2012-05-10, version 1.0.3*

As stated above :)

I'd happily pay $20+ for all the features on this app. And btw, the amp rocks too!

### 5/5 — Great tool for guitar players!!!

*2012-03-22, version 1.0.0*

It makes for a good companion app to use with the THR amp.  But it's also a great tool to use for guitar players practicing a song.

I was able to import a song from iTunes, slow it down, change the pitch, and isolate the vocals from the track, and loop a section over and over to learn it and play along with it.

Very cool for a free app!!!

### 4/5 — THR Session

*2016-02-10, version 1.0.4*

I got this apps to work. Your music files must reside on your phone memory not from iCloud.

### 4/5 — Just waiting

*2014-10-08, version 1.0.3*

Just waiting the ios8 compatibility... It was sad to use another "not even close" app to learn 14 songs from Slayer (for the Vallyum band I was called) in the last week! So hope you fix it soon !
