Stupid

Cant ask question. The submit button gets hidden behind keyboard- real STUPID! The app absolutely makes no sense.

Best Practice App Ever!

I started using this in August, and let me tell you, this is one of the best practice apps I’ve ever downloaded! The functions, the people you meet, it’s all wonderful! I met one of my really great friends on this app who happened to be in my same youth orchestra, and one of my other great friends also has this app in my orchestra! Thank you so much for creating this wonderful experience! My Tonic Account name is McKenna, by the way! Thank you!

Love the idea but not accessible to screen readers

I got this app because I really wanted to have a way to see other musicians and gamify my practice. However I am blind and use VoiceOver and it was not accessible to that screen reader. I would love if in the future the app could be accessible, then I would definitely use it.

Amazing app 10/10

It’s a very nice app very helpful too but for some reason I am no longer able to scroll down to the break button during my studio please fix this. Also my dear freind Marz got banned js cuz of a typo he made in Ray Chens studio he didn’t mean it and the mods got him banned please bring him back he’s been trying to come back we all miss him dearly

Great! But this would be even better

Could you add a total practice time widget? That’ll motivate me even more, and also if there was a way for ppl less popular to be able to get listeners (maybe a less than 5 listeners tab?) thanks!! but any way:

So so so good!! I’m addicted to practicing, and I actually want to practice :) thanks!

(Also thanks so much that its actually free without ads so I don’t get distracted!)

Also love how its not so high steaks that you want to cheat your way, and love the challenges that motivate me. Great community also!

(2nd review)

Tonic is awesome with little bugs that I know of. And I got logged out of my account that I had progress for a year. Since may 14 2025 which was yesterday. I didn’t get to complete a year on tonic on my account, but I am happy to say I am catching up with everything my old account had! Thank you for trying to fix this error but I’m alright, don’t worry :)!

Great App!

Tonic is a great way to practice and showcase your skills, but I would love for users to be able to trade boosts for tokens

Best app EVER

I really love this app, it motivates me to grab my violin out and start practicing. It’s literally the best! However, when I practice, I always listen to other (professional) people play it on YouTube when I’m stuck. But when I try multitasking, the amount of work I did doesn’t record and kinda just glitches? Do you have a way to fix that or anything? It’s fine if there isn’t a solution, but just wondering.

New Source of Motivation but….

This app has been great!! I found myself wanting to practice so much more surprisingly, especially when for the leaderboard in communities, however there is one thing me and my friends would like! Me and a huge group of my friends want an option to be able to collab in the app! Instead of having to do so separately, it would be so much more fun especially when we’re at home! This feature would really add so much more charm than Tonic already has!

Has bugs

It keeps randomly losing connection when every other app is fine and then it deletes all my progress, it also uses microphone in the background.

An Engaging and Motivating Practice Companion for Students and Teachers!

As an active piano teacher and owner of a music conservatory, working primarily with students aged 4–18, I’m always looking for ways to make practice more engaging and consistent. After using and exploring Tonic over the past few months, I decided to integrate it into our program—and it’s been a fantastic addition.

We created a community group within the app for our students, and it has genuinely enhanced their experience. They enjoy listening to each other’s practice sessions, and the weekly leaderboard has introduced a fun, friendly sense of competition that keeps them motivated. Another feature they especially love is being able to visit other studios of the same instrument from around the world, across a range of skill levels—it broadens their perspective and inspires them in new ways.

From a teacher’s perspective, Tonic is incredibly useful. It allows us to track how often and how long students are practicing, which helps us better support their progress.

For students, the impact has been very positive:
- They’re more motivated to practice and maintain their streaks
- The friendly competition with peers keeps them engaged
- The community is supportive and encouraging
- Quests provide additional motivation to practice
- Earning tokens and customizing avatars adds a fun reward system
- They enjoy exploring and learning from other studios globally
- Practicing feels less isolating and more interactive
- Parents have also appreciated the app. Many have created accounts to listen in on their child’s practice and value being able to track practice time themselves.

Overall, Tonic has proven to be a safe, engaging, and highly motivating practice companion for our students. I would highly recommend it to other teachers and families looking to inspire consistent practice habits!

Great but one thing

This app is awesome. But it signs me out many times and random times. It hasn’t done it in a while until today. I have forgot my password and when I put in my email it doesn’t work it puts me into another account. I hope to get my account back and progress back. This app it great overall!

I have one issue!

Im trying to create a group. Im able to name the group, add the photo, and put what it’s for, but when I get to the next page (description, levels, tags) it won’t let me scroll down to hit the next button. Please fix this!

great app for practice

I'm an undergrad student and this app has really helped me practice enough everyday. It's definitely fun and motivating to see the number of hours I've practiced certain pieces go up every week, and the leaderboards that come with those pieces absolutely motivate me to keep practicing viola.

The best app for practicing

Tonic just creates a sense of belonging for me and has truly changed my view on practicing. i highly recommend it and it destroys the insecurities musicians and students face.

Just fix this one little thing pls

Ok i love this app so much!! i use it everyday but the clothing in the shop is a bit to expensive, and only earn a little XP everyday, so pls just low the prices of the clothing in the shop!

Amazing app 10/10

It’s a very nice app very helpful too but for some reason I am no longer able to scroll down to the break button during my studio please fix this.

Wrong xp count
