Closing & restarting app did not help. Restarting phone did not help. Trying again later did not help. ### 5/5 — Great *2026-07-21, version 3.19.2* I got the uke and already know four chords in one day ### 4/5 — 4 stars because… *2026-07-20, version 3.19.2* Kala Ukulele is an AWESOME app on learning New cords,new songs, and new details about your Ukulele! I rate it 4 stars because the Lessons are Easy but I hope for something harder and that the lessons are a TINY bit faster. From: Hazel To: Maker of Kala Ukulele 👌🥹 ### 5/5 — Love *2026-07-16, version 3.19.2* Love the setup. Love the videos and the dude in the videos ### 2/5 — Was 5🌟, now 2. No search and favorite playlists. *2026-07-14, version 3.19.1* I paid yearly and have subscribed for several years. Now: -You removed song search! $#&$ you can’t look/search all the songs you have in one list anymore. This is basic option you removed. -You removed my saved song lists option! #$&&$#$ I was using these to save simple songs in your repertoire that I could teach or learn songs myself -You removed searching for your songs that just have ONLY certain chords. EX: I could find songs that have only seen in it or CFAm. This was incredibly useful for teaching! Your app is no longer a one stop by as the best Ukulele teaching tool. These were basic needs that were fantastic about your program and app. Whoever removed, the search function should be fired not to mention the save lists. It’s very disappointing. ### 5/5 — ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ *2026-07-07, version 3.19.0* Makes learning the uke basics fun. However NI for the iPad ### 5/5 — This app teaches Alana songs and helps you learn how to tune your ukulele *2026-07-03, version 3.19.0* five stars ### 5/5 — I am not consistent yet… *2026-07-03, version 3.19.0* Starting over ### 2/5 — tuner is great *2026-06-30, version 3.18.3* the tuner feature works great, however the lessons on the app that require you playing and the app listening hardly ever works ### 5/5 — Win win *2026-06-24, version 3.18.3* Great guide resource highly recommended ### 3/5 — Works great sometimes *2026-06-22, version 3.18.3* Trying to play along with the app the AirPods keep disconnecting to the app been happening for a long time now super annoying. Other than that it’s great ### 5/5 — I do not want to buy it *2026-06-19* But I will do it is kind of fun tho ### 5/5 — The best *2026-06-17, version 3.18.3* I love this app and I tried musician but the flippin app would not work and I am only 8 and I’m even saying it five million stars ### 5/5 — Ukulele chord *2026-06-13, version 3.18.3* Amazing ### 5/5 — Enjoying the challenge! *2026-06-05, version 3.18.1* Thanks for offering this very easy and user friendly app to enable me to learn to play my ukulele. Looking forward to seeing more new songs. ### 2/5 — Was a 5, Now useless *2026-06-05, version 3.18.1* The app was teaching me well, I was very happy with it. I made progress and as a new Ukulele player, it was the greatest thing next to having a live teacher. But then they updated the app…and it won’t open on my phone. So I wrote support, and they have a new update version, which won’t open on any device. Totally lame, take it back to the version that was there last month and dump the updates, they’re worthless. Making the app completely worthless. Again. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Wtf *2026-08-13, version 3.19.2* Genuinely just not loading. I got the app for the first time today and when I open it it’s been in the loading screen for literally an hour and a half, by then I gave up. Why?? When it gets to like 99/100 or something it just changes to 99/150 every time it just goes up so it’s impossible to load. Fix this garbage I was actually exited about using this. Damn it bro. ### 1/5 — Charged for yearly subscription, App didn’t update *2026-07-31, version 3.19.2* I was charged for the full year at a promotional price, but the app still records that I have a “free account,” and the app support does not reflect a purchase, and the “help” function says I have to go through the Apple App Store for a refund. No product, everyone denies a record of the purchase, yet they have my money. ### 1/5 — new update ruined it *2026-06-12, version 3.18.3* whole new layout is ugly and all the songs i had saved are not only gone, but off the app. ### 1/5 — Used to be good, now unusable *2026-05-15, version 3.17.2* I don’t know what they did to this app but it is now the worst. You have to be online to use it? It buffers when you’re tuning? Where the heck is the audio going!? ### 1/5 — tuner is broken *2026-04-06, version 3.17.0* it only tunes g and c and stops working at e and a ### 1/5 — Won’t load after update *2026-03-08, version 3.16.0* I’ve enjoyed this app for years as a full year subscriber until app requested email and password, then would never accept that password and no way to make new password. I deleted app to try to reload and now won’t let me restore purchase and just gives me circle of death - app won’t load properly at all. ### 1/5 — Not working *2026-03-02, version 3.16.0* So excited to try this app after purchasing a new ukulele, but not working at all. Will find a different site but hopefully this app gets back to working soon! ### 1/5 — Appt broken *2026-03-02, version 3.16.0* I downloaded it and went to use it but it won’t get past the trial screen or let me sign up for any trials. Says they’re n/a . Seems the app is no longer in use ### 1/5 — Didn’t work *2026-03-01, version 3.16.0* App just sits loading. Never does anything ### 1/5 — they stole my money *2026-02-26, version 3.16.0* Apparently for the last 6 years this app has been charging me $35 for a subscription I never subscribed to and I just found out today. Please check to make sure they didn’t do this to you. I once loved the ukelele and because of this I will never play again. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Brilliant! *2026-08-17, version 3.19.2* My young daughter and I are learning together, this app is such a wonderful addition to our new Kala uke ### 5/5 — Worth it *2026-08-16, version 3.19.2* Great app for beginners and experienced players. ### 5/5 — Great learning tool *2026-08-14, version 3.19.2* Fun way to learn the ukulele ! ### 5/5 — Uke lessons *2026-08-12, version 3.19.2* Fantastic program. Lots of modules and useful tools! Perfect companion to my Kala ukulele! ### 5/5 — Great! *2026-08-07, version 3.19.2* Very well organized and it has tons of different training options. ### 5/5 — The best yet *2026-08-06, version 3.19.2* I’ve been struggling for a long time with the Ukulele. This is the first time I felt confident and comfortable learning. ### 5/5 — Wonderful, helpful app! *2026-08-02, version 3.19.2* Wonderful, helpful app! Great for beginner to intermediate players ### 5/5 — Great way to learn! *2026-08-01, version 3.19.2* This app is the total package. Easy to use tuner with options to show if you are in range or tune each string to a sound. The lessons are short videos that build nicely. They also let you skip around between lessons and go to chord charts in a separate spot. Large searchable song library. To me, the $80 yearly fee is worth it. I like the 7-day free trial before the yearly fee kicks in. ### 5/5 — Beginner friendly! *2026-07-24, version 3.19.2* This app as wide variety that I enjoy! The videos are simple and informative for people who have hard time understating or for people who like knowing more info. ### 5/5 — Habit building *2026-07-22, version 3.19.2* I really enjoy this app! It helps me to be playing my ukulele every day. I’m gaining skills day by day and getting more confident. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
