Very helpful customer sevice

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.

A scam

Charged me for a free trial

It’s ok

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.

Good app, needs more free songs

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

Charged after cancelling

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.

What the heck

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

Not free

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

Misleading

App does not do what it states will do and will charge you a yearly premium of $149.99 even though you stated monthly transactions. They will not refund

Buns

Dont recommend thought it was free but it has a paywall

Bad Programming

I purchased this app through the Apple App Store. I wanted to upgrade my subscription through the App Store and it failed. There may have been an option to purchase through the app because (which I thought would go through the App Store, I was charged through the App Store once and then 7 attempts were made on a separate card not recorded by Apple. 2 are pending. 9 attempts total outside of the App Store. It seems this should violate App Store policy to charge outside of the App Store. Bad programming in the app. Buyer beware! The app is not that great anyway.

Impossible to Use

The concept is great, but it doesn’t work on my iPhone. Keeps saying it can’t hear me. Help center is worthless. For example tuning section says my note is dead on, but the song I need to play the same note only for won’t recognize it. It keeps saying it can’t hear and to reduce background noise. There is no background noise. Landscape mode makes no difference. There is a microphone setting in theory but no at to find it.

Scam

App did not do what I needed even though it said it had specific benefits I was looking for. Plus after trial they charged me an annual fee which I did not want and won’t refund me. Do not buy!

Worst app ever

The forces you to be perfect and you must pay 25 mouthly for dog water teaching

It’s all right

I don’t like how you have to pay to go on another lesson

Poor customer service

The app does not allow someone to cancel their subscription. I have tried many times during the trial period to cancel and nothing is ever done. Now I have been charged the full fee.

Fun

App bem dinâmico
