I can play badly through most of a song but do better on a certain section than before and it will increase my highest score. This doesn’t seem right and makes it harder and harder to actually beat your best score (which you have never actually achieved in one run). ### 2/5 — Disappointing and Not Worth the Money *2026-08-30, version 5.37.0* This app sometimes seems to lose its ability to hear properly and fails to recognize the correct chords and notes, which gets really frustrating. I don’t recommend purchasing it. I regret buying it. ### 4/5 — Back at it. *2026-08-29, version 5.37.0* This challenges me, but I am doing it. Thank you for a great tool. ### 4/5 — Helps learning *2026-08-29, version 5.37.0* Whenever it said 1 it was taken as o ### 2/5 — No fun songs to play anymore *2026-08-28, version 5.37.0* I get that sometimes music licensing requires you to pull the songs, but try a little harder at least. Metallica, nirvana, arctic monkeys, hell even the wellerman, all gone. No warning at all, and they get replaced by obscure songs. We don’t need a random French song, we want recognizable songs that will help us and give us motivation to play. ### 4/5 — … *2026-08-26, version 5.37.0* Русских песен вообще нет… ### 2/5 — For real? *2026-08-25, version 5.37.0* Its fantastic except for the fact that songs are confirming notes that I am not playing and then refusing to confirm when I play other notes correct. Please check this dude. If your app cannot handle level 7 songs what is the point of me continuing to pay you guys?? ### 4/5 — Great App Overall *2026-08-25, version 5.37.0* Great app! Only problem is that after two lessons I couldn’t advance until I paid for a subscription. Honestly, download it if you’re willing to pay! But I simply don’t want to pay $160 a year to play my guitar maybe 3-4 times a week. Otherwise PLEASE DOWNLOAD IT!! It’s awesome and so much fun! ### 4/5 — It’s good *2026-08-24, version 5.37.0* It’s good but I hate having to pay it sucks and it should be free ### 3/5 — Eh *2026-08-23, version 5.37.0* I’ve recommended this to a lot of friends however recently they’ve been purging their song library and it seems it’s becoming less and less worth it as some of my favourite songs that I’ve learned and love to play are now taken off, good learning just sad to see the library shrinking as bad as it is with some songs locked behind their extra subscription cost past the base subscription UPDATE: Id change this to 5 stars for the song potholes by callister😁 ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2026-08-23, version 5.37.0* I love it I first tried Simply guitar but it forced me to pay which I didn’t but this app asks you to pay and if you don’t want to you don’t have to! ### 4/5 — Decent *2026-08-23, version 5.37.0* Its a good app but it costs money to play songs and other levels of music ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — This app blows *2026-09-01, version 5.38.0* The app cannot hear me play notes properly I spend most of my time repeating simple songs just to get it to register my sound. The songs are incredibly long and repetitive, they sound terrible out loud and you can’t play with headphones because it’s not conducive with the app. So mad I spent money on this ### 1/5 — Bad tuner *2026-08-31, version 5.38.0* I was tuning my C string and it told me to go up and I kept on going up told me to go higher and higher and then and I kept on telling me to go higher so a broke I don’t trust this app at all this happened twice already with the same string. I’m using good guitar strings and a nice acoustic guitar. ### 1/5 — Yousician review *2026-08-29, version 5.37.0* Honestly, Yousician was a huge disappointment. The app feels way too expensive for what you actually get, and after a while it just becomes repetitive and frustrating. A lot of the lessons feel like they’re designed to keep you using the app rather than actually helping you improve. The constant reminders and upselling are also annoying. I expected a much better learning experience for the price. Definitely not worth it. ### 1/5 — STOOP *2026-08-28, version 5.37.0* IM TRYING TO WATCH UNCLE STUARTS TUTORIAL ATOP GIVING ME THIS AD ### 1/5 — barely teaches *2026-08-28, version 5.37.0* i was trying to learn how to play on frets, it just showed me how it should never showed me how ### 1/5 — It sucks *2026-08-26, version 5.37.0* doesnt pick up anything right ### 1/5 — Very hard to use *2026-08-23, version 5.37.0* This is probably the worst app I’ve ever used for playing guitar. ### 1/5 — This sucks *2026-08-22, version 5.37.0* I play the string its telling me and somehow it doesn’t hear it, i have electric guitar so its loud but somehow its doesn’t hear it, this app sucks ### 1/5 — Premium *2026-08-21, version 5.37.0* Hate this app every time a wanna sing a song it says ti buy premium! Like, I just wanna sing song mate it's not that hard to let someone sing without have to ask for money! Not to mention it's so Exepensive!!! ### 1/5 — DONT WASTE MONEY ON THE SUBSCRIPTION AND DONT WASTE YOUR TIME ON THIS APP DOWNLOAD GUITAR TUNA!! *2026-08-18, version 5.36.0* Yo anyone who is mad about the subscription, don’t pay for it, just download guitar tuna (which is made by this company), do the first few courses DONT PAY FOR ANYTHING!! just so uu can learn some decent chords, and then move over to the songs tab and they have lots of good songs u can play as long as u learn how to read tabs, I’ve been playing the songs off of just simple tabs with chords like: Am, Em, E, A, C, D, F and G. And you’ll get the hang of it, don’t waste money just download guitar tuna, learn how to read tabs, and play from there ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I can play a bit of guitar now *2026-08-31, version 5.38.0* Add house of the rising sun pleaeeee and add the Rolling Stones ### 5/5 — Easy to follow *2026-08-31, version 5.38.0* I was surprised how easygoing the training is going ### 5/5 — Very Good Guitar Learning App *2026-08-31, version 5.38.0* I think the price is fair, given how much it costs to have lessons. And it’s fun. ### 5/5 — Bueno *2026-08-30, version 5.37.0* Muy bueno ### 5/5 — Best singing app!! *2026-08-29, version 5.37.0* I've only been using it for a week, but so far I love it. I feel like I'm really learning because they start with the basics and take it slowly. And I love that when you learn a new song, you can slow down the lyrics to get them down rather than struggling to keep up with the original. Really great app!! ### 5/5 — It’s great and I’d far it’s free *2026-08-28, version 5.37.0* Title ### 5/5 — Best app ever *2026-08-28, version 5.37.0* After one day I’ve learned so much I’ve never even played my guitar before and now I’m on fire for it !!! ### 5/5 — Very good *2026-08-27, version 5.37.0* Very good for guitar 🎸 and love it grrreat ### 5/5 — … *2026-08-27, version 5.37.0* Русских песен вообще нет…и играть на электро гитаре надо с колонкой он так не слышит в так хорошее прилодуха ### 5/5 — So far it’s amazing *2026-08-24, version 5.37.0* Hour in and I’m in love !
