Good for the chords and words, doesn’t seem to sync across devices

Very good but…

It’s really good and I’ve been able to learn many songs. But when I open a song and press on the practice button it just crashes and kicks me out so would it be ok if the devs could look into that please. Thank you but it’s a very good app and I recommend it.

Useless Tuner

Using the app on an iPhone 16 pro max, latest IOS and the tuner only ever works when it feels like it.
So annoying
