### 5/5 — Very helpful customer sevice

*2026-08-16*

I had a few question about navigating to the post performance screen which seemed to only appear for less than a second after I finish, sent in my question and didn’t expect a response.

Well, I  got a reply the next morning.  They asked for a follow up screen recording, I sent one and the next day I received a detailed response which solved my problem — Use the “X” in the upper right to examine the annotated sheet music and then use the provided “Start” button to try again.

I love the app and their very responsive customer service.

### 1/5 — A scam

*2026-07-25, version 6.16*

Charged me for a free trial

### 3/5 — It’s ok

*2026-07-23, version 6.16*

It’s a good app just costs sooo much money and you can’t even learn the saxophone without having to pay. I liked the app free but I don’t want to pay to learn an instrument.

### 3/5 — Good app, needs more free songs

*2026-07-23*

Its good but buying all the songs with premium is a bit too much money for 1 year…we need more than 5 songs that are free so people that need practice but don’t want to spend money can enjoy this. I recommend that you make at least half the songs free so people like me can afford to learn and play without having the play the same 3 songs everyday. Maybe premium should only give you the lessons and lock only a little hit of the songs instead of all of them and the lessons. Overall, pretty good app. Needs more free songs

**Developer response:** Hi BIGG,

thanks for your detailed feedback 😊 We’re happy you overall like tonestro! We understand your wish for more free songs. Besides free songs, tonestro also offers the first lesson for free and the weekly Challenge with 5 freely playable songs, which brings regular variety. 🎶

With Premium, you unlock many more songs, structured lessons, video tutorials, exercises, and interactive feedback on pitch and rhythm. You can also join our weekly Challenge and match with musicians worldwide. tonestro costs only a fraction of a music teacher and is available 24/7/52, so you can practice flexibly whenever it fits your schedule.

Our musicians and software specialists work full-time to provide a high-quality learning opportunity, especially for people who do not have easy access to personal lessons. Premium allows us to maintain tonestro, create new content, improve features, and keep developing the app.

If you have specific song wishes or more ideas, contact us at support@tonestro.com. Since you overall like tonestro, we’d also be very happy about an upgrade to 5 stars 😊

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-07-22, version 6.16*

Good

### 1/5 — Charged after cancelling

*2026-07-21, version 6.16*

Cancelled the subscription after the free trial. I do not have access to the premium content but still being charged for it. Tried going through support but are really giving me the runaround and refusing to refund.

### 1/5 — What the heck

*2026-07-20, version 6.15*

They want a review before I even open the app fully. So it gets a one because so far I’m not impressed.

### 5/5 — Aula 1

*2026-07-19*

10

### 5/5 — Me gusta

*2026-07-16, version 6.15*

Mi opinión es de 10 de 10

### 1/5 — Not free

*2026-07-11, version 6.15*

I need to enter my credit card before I can use it in trial period.   False advertising
