Also when it listens for the sound of my uke it is some times buggy. ### 3/5 — Decent all around but *2026-07-03, version 5.33.1* GIVE US APT BACK ### 3/5 — Payant *2026-06-29* Après les base on doit payer pour s’entraîner ce que je trouve un peu radin pour une application qui permet de s’entraîner au ukulélés ### 3/5 — would love to give 5 stars but… *2026-06-28, version 5.33.1* …the app is freezing when trying to play along is really frustrating when you actually want to play and enjoy! Paid membership not free account! ### 2/5 — Seems ok but actually not *2026-06-14, version 5.32.0* So I’ve been using this app consistently and daily for YEARS. I have over 800 hours logged. So I feel like I have a pretty accurate perception of the app. While it means well and can pass for the lower levels, when it gets to the faster, more difficult songs, it is extremely inaccurate and doesn’t register what you’re playing properly. What starts as pleasant learning ends up with frustration at its inability to accurately register what you’re playing. ### 2/5 — Artistes connus payants *2026-06-12* J'ai mis deux étoiles parce que c'est pas trop mal fait mais si vous voulez jouer des morceaux connus il faudra payer l'abonnement prenium + je trouve ça dommage pour une appli qui est déjà payante de base.!!!!! Regarder sur you tube pour apprendre les tablatures expliquées en français et c'est gratuit. ### 4/5 — please see this *2026-06-11, version 5.32.0* this app is good if you wanna play ukulele but when i tryed doing the tuning part it kept on saying tune up even tho i tuned it up more then 10 times and it still says that ### 3/5 — I use to enjoy this app a lot *2026-06-04, version 5.31.0* Although I still like it I keep wishing there are more ambient instrumental songs and gospel songs. I’m not a big fan of Rock Bands of any kind and I don’t like to play it in my ukulele. I understand they have to have some for the guitarists that love them. Hopefully they will add more peaceful and beautiful music to relax and that and sound beautiful in my ukulele. In the meantime I will continue to use it because you can learn in a fun way so I recommend it. ### 2/5 — You have to pay for the majority of the stuff *2026-06-03, version 5.31.0* This game is nice. I like learning the ukulele, but you have to get a subscription to do even more than one thing. I recommend if you don’t want to like learn a lot of songs but if you do get a different app. ### 4/5 — It’s difficult *2026-05-30, version 5.31.0* It’s learned very quick with it but sometimes it’s too difficult ### 4/5 — Not enough variety *2026-05-30, version 5.31.0* Gurl like when I search up Katseye, they don’t even have it. ### 3/5 — Bonne appli mais … *2026-05-18* Je trouve cette application vraiment bien les points forts c’est son côté ludique, les leçons, les exercices, les musiques, les badges qu’on gagnent donne envie de progresser. Je suis actuellement en train d’apprendre le ukulélé. Je me suis abonné après l’essai Gratuit, mais je n’ai pas pris à l’année c’est vraiment cher d’un coup presque 180 €. J’ai pris l’abonnement mensuel pour un seul instrument ce qui me convient le problème je trouve que vous devriez mettre au moins un peu plus de musique quelques connus car on s’est quand même abonné donc on mériterait au moins d’avoir plusieurs musiques pour s’entraîner. Au lieu de ça on n’en a très peu et c’est ça qui fait baisser la note de mon avis. Je voudrais rajouter aussi que pour le parcours d’entraînement alors qu’on paye chaque mois, on a un abonnement premium rajouter une chanson bloqué pour l’abonnement premium plus c’est vraiment abusé, vous pourriez enlever ça car on voudrait finir les niveaux du parcours de l’apprentissage pour pouvoir avoir tous les badges et tous les diplômes. Ça pourrait être sympa quand même ça de mettre ça à jour. Merci et merci de votre réponse. **Developer response:** Merci pour votre avis détaillé !

I like Free apps, No subscription. And I barely learned anything when I downloaded it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Trickiest into dowloading *2026-08-30, version 5.37.0* I thought this app would let me lear for free, NO I get passed the basics then it cost money, I want to learn, not pay money ### 1/5 — Pay to learn. *2026-08-10, version 5.36.0* Okay so i was SUPER excited to learn ukulele this app, I saw it on YouTube adds after hopelessly trying and failing to get simple cords right, So i decided to got in on this ukulele action and first few lessons were GREAT great teaching style going at your own pace but once I finished the introduction, you have to pay for EVERY. SINGLE. SONG you have to be premium and everybody knows that you need to learn songs to play ukulele so i am uninstalling and looking for a better app. ⭐️/⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ### 1/5 — Technological issue of login. *2026-08-08, version 5.36.0* Subject: Login issue still unresolved after a few months I've been unable to log in for over a few month now. I've been through several rounds of back-and-forth with support and have received the same response each time, including after I sent screenshots of the login screens. The issue is still not resolved. At this point I've spent hours troubleshooting instead of being able to practice, which is what I'm paying for. Would have appreciated a response that moves this forward rather than a repeat of the earlier troubleshooting steps. Or proactively to do something not assuming your consumers are idiots ### 1/5 — R *2026-07-31, version 5.35.0* I got charged $140 for something I didn’t even pay for ### 1/5 — Bad Updates *2026-07-08, version 5.34.0* Very few new songs added recently and lots of songs taken away in the last few updates. Will not extend and wish I could cancel ### 1/5 — Instant paywall *2026-07-07, version 5.34.0* I liked the app at start, and I’m sure i would if I kept playing. But I can’t play, because 20 minutes in, after the first lesson, you are immediately blocked from all songs until you pay for $15 a month just to play what YouTube could tell me. Please add some free-player accessibility, like time limits or letting us use *some* songs. If I am missing these things, please tell me. ### 1/5 — Chords filter needs fixing *2026-07-06, version 5.34.0* STOP adding songs with stupid melody pieces added to rhythm songs. I’m definitely not recommending this app. I only want to practice songs with chords but there is not filter for this feature. Fix and I will happily give five stars. Also it would be better if you could see your point total and there were more achievements to keep you motivated. ### 1/5 — Don’t buy you new premium to play *2026-06-03, version 5.31.0* You can’t play any songs without premium ### 1/5 — Платно все *2026-05-14* Использовала это приложение много лет назад, тогда было бесплатное ежедневное время (около 15-20 минут в день), и этого хватало на пару уроков, тренировки были полностью бесплатные, как и многие песни. Функционала хватало, чтобы освоить какие-то навыки и просто провести хорошо время за укулеле. Зашла спустя столько лет, потому что захотелось немного поиграть, а теперь все платно. Ужас! Теперь это приложение не для того, чтобы научиться играть, а для выкачивания денег. Скатились, и пользоваться этим невозможно. Понимаю, что для поддержания приложения нужны средства, но хотя бы минимум для бесплатников должен быть. Обычно люди покупают подписку из-за того, что хотят свой опыт в приложении сделать более глубоким после того, как уже провели в нем какое-то время, а тут открываешь и сразу закрываешь, потому что проникнуться ничем не можешь, сразу тебе в лицо вкидывают ценник. Стыдно за такой регресс ### 1/5 — Dishonest billing *2026-05-14, version 5.30.1* I do not appreciate being charged $140 with no recourse. I was planning to do the monthly billing because there’s no way there’s enough content to sustain a year of this but I got charged $140 and their website offers no ability for a refund or plan modification. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app for learning the Ukulele *2026-06-21, version 5.33.0* I really feel like I get great value as ive done guitar lessons and it was quite expensive compared to the on e per year fee of premium Youcisian level on this quality application. ### 5/5 — Review for Yousician *2026-06-09, version 5.32.0* I like Youusician because you can have a free trial and it is really fun! ### 5/5 — Soo good *2026-04-24, version 5.29.1* So good always use it 5 stars ### 5/5 — C’est super *2026-04-08* Je ne compte plus les heures passées sur yousician. Et je dois reconnaître que je progresse. L’application ne fait pas tout évidement et je bosse à côté mais c’est vraiment super pour jouer quant on est pas motivé, qu’on a la flemme ou pas d’inspiration. J’adore les 2 morceaux de Metallica à jouer au ukulele… c’est magique mais c’est vrai que ça manque de musique hawaïenne et polynésienne ### 5/5 — So hard! *2026-04-06, version 5.28* Not funny ### 5/5 — (I translate text) *2026-03-18* Hello, everything is gorgeous, but I would like you to add widgets here (for reminders) ### 5/5 — Easy! *2026-03-05, version 5.26* So easy to follow! Love using this app. ### 5/5 — Guitar Hero mit echten Instrumenten *2026-02-06* Hab lange nach so eine App gesucht und bin mit Ukulele und Yousician sehr happy. Gamification im Stil von Guitar Hero, aber ohne solch eine starke Vereinfachung. Macht einfach Spaß und man lernt, sein Instrument zu spielen. ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2026-01-25, version 5.23.0* It’s a really good app u will love it, it helped me a lot on playing the ukulele u will become an ukulele pro ### 5/5 — Great ukalele *2026-01-14, version 5.22.0* It is a great app or learning ukalele learnt loads after 2 weeks --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
