## What is Uke4U?

Learn Ukulele with a clear 7-day plan—through watching, listening, and repeating.
Uke4U focuses on playing along instead of reading. You play real songs from the start and develop a strong sense of rhythm and chords.
The focus is on the Playalong mode:
You see what is happening. You hear how it should sound. And you do it.
This is how you learn with Uke4U
• Virtual fretboard with clear chord display
• Chord names scroll in time with the song
• The chord change happens in the marked area
• You strum along with the music and hear an accompanying Strumming track
Practice at your own pace

• Normal tempo once you're ready
• Advanced variant: without Strumming ukulele, just rhythm & melody

### 4/5 — I’m enjoying this app

*2021-06-23, version 1.2.5*

Wish I could get more songs to learn but when I go to add more songs nothing happens

### 5/5 — Lohnenswerte App!

*2021-02-09*

Die App bringt mir (totaler Beginner) sehr viel. Die Begleitstücke in dem 7-Tage-Plan sind nicht zu leicht und nicht zu schwer. Mittlerweile halte ich mich aber nur noch in dem Fingerpicking-Teil auf, weil da toll klingende Begleitungen nur mit Fingerpicking enthalten sind, die die App sehr erweitern, die ich aber erst später entdeckt habe. Das hebt das Niveau der Fähigkeiten, die man mit dieser App erlernen kann, noch einmal enorm. Ich würde mich über eine Fortsetzung freuen, da mir das Konzept und die Aufmachung der App sehr gefallen.

### 3/5 — Great...but

*2019-02-07, version 1.2.5*

This app is a very good resource and I like it , however when I open the app when I’m not connected to WiFi. It emits a horrible sound which overwhelms the native app. I’ve deleted and downloaded the app and that seemed to fix it but it’s happening again

### 1/5 — Uke tuner

*2018-06-27, version 1.2.2*

This App might be ok if I could get the tuner to work. When I select “tuner” the app closes down. There for , NO TUNE NO PLAY. Unable to contact “Development”

### 1/5 — Attention application non multilingue!

*2018-06-05, version 1.2.2*

L’application est seulement en anglais, même si dans le store c’est indiqué le contraire. Il n’y a pas de choix entre 12 langues.

### 1/5 — Used to be great. Hasn’t worked for over a year

*2017-12-28, version 1.2.2*

Don’t bother installing. Just crashes every time. Shame

### 4/5 — Tuner crashes the app

*2017-09-27*

Quite nice for chords but when i try to launch the tuner, the app crashes. 
iPhone 6
iOS 10.3.3.

### 4/5 — My app is crashing too!!

*2017-09-18, version 1.2.2*

Everytime I try to open the tuner as well. Please fix this. It's been crashing for quite sometime now.

### 1/5 — it just crashes all the time

*2017-09-06, version 1.2.2*

please don't buy this. all it does is crash.

### 4/5 — Good! Just one prob

*2017-07-04, version 1.2.2*

The program is crashing when I open the tuning screen. Have you had other complaints about this?
 Otherwise, great.

### What is Uke4U?

Uke4U is a mobile application designed to teach you how to play the ukulele within a 7-day structured plan. It focuses on learning by playing along with songs, rather than traditional music reading, to help you quickly develop rhythm and chord skills.
