***** Differences between this version and the Pro version: The Pro version offers more advanced features such as song recording, tuning, multiple instrument sounds, background and string color settings, and a metronome. The Follow Play songs in both versions are identical and are released simultaneously. iGuzheng's innovative "Follow Play" feature allows even complete beginners to effortlessly play professional Guzheng pieces! Guzheng is a Chinese plucked zither that dates back to 500 B.C. It is rich in playing techniques. The performer plucks the strings with his right-hand fingernails, while his left-hand fingers apply pressure to the strings to execute vibratos, slides, and other embellishments , as well as occasional plucking techniques. iGuzheng supports many playing techniques, like an acoustic Guzheng: · Playing techniques for Right Hand: Pluck, Glissando, Tremolo (Shake/摇指), Automatic Tremolo, Overtone · Playing techniques for Left Hand: Pitch Slide, Small Vibrato, Big Vibrato, Tap Pitch (Dian Yin – 点音) Main Features: √ Follow Play: iGuzheng's original "Follow Play" feature combines Guzheng playing symbols with string positions to provide real-time playing prompts, allowing even complete beginners to effortlessly play professional Guzheng pieces! ** Supports setting to follow only the right-hand part or both hands! ** When following only the right-hand part, iGuzheng will automatically play the left-hand part for you! ** Can be set to automatically play left-hand pressing actions: pressed notes, glissando, vibrato, etc. [Appendix] Meanings of various lines in Follow Play: Vertical line – Represents a "chord line," commonly used for major plucks, minor plucks, and chords. Wavy line – Represents a "glissando line," commonly used for ornamental notes, glissando, double thumb, heavy thumb, etc. Fine dashed line – Represents a "note group." All notes connected by fine dashed lines form a note group, which may consist of common fingering combinations (alternating thumb and middle finger, four-note patterns, etc.), grace notes, triplets, arpeggiated chords, rhythmic patterns, etc. Horizontal thick dashed line – Represents a "tremolo line," indicating the start and end times of the tremolo. √ Flexible Guzheng View — easy scrolling and zooming with drag/pinch gestures on the Pitch Slider Bar. √ High-quality stereo samples from Guzheng. √ Full 21 strings. √ Automatically play "Shake" technique (自动摇指) when you move your touch on the string horizontally. √ Smart snapping to the correct pitch grid when moving the pitch slider. √ Portamento / Vibrato. √ Overtone : use two fingers to tap strings at the same time. √ "Dian Yin" Effect (点音/Tap Pitch) : tap the pitch slider after plucking a string to create the "Dian Yin" sound effect. √ Tuning as standard Guzheng tunings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: 古筝网App at Free against iGuzheng's $0.99. 古筝网App also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). iGuzheng's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
