EFFE-STORE è l'app del negozio di strumenti musicali di Castelceriolo, alle porte di Alessandria. Da una parte gli attrezzi che servono ogni giorno a chi suona, dall'altra il filo diretto con il banco e con il laboratorio. GLI STRUMENTI DA PALCO Accordatore cromatico che ascolta dal microfono e ti dice quanto sei distante dalla nota. Metronomo con accenti, suddivisioni, metri dispari e tempo trainer che sale da solo. Accordi e scale per chitarra, basso e ukulele, con le diteggiature disegnate sul manico. Funzionano senza connessione: in sala prove il telefono non ha campo e loro devono esserci lo stesso. SUONA, E MIGLIORA Esercizi e giri di accordi che scorrono a tempo. Allenamento dell'orecchio su intervalli, accordi, ritmi e intonazione. Il tuo repertorio, cioè i brani che sai suonare davvero, con tonalità, BPM e capotasto. E un registro della pratica che tiene il conto dei giorni di fila: è più difficile saltare un giorno quando vedi la serie. SCOPRI UN DISCO AL GIORNO Un album al giorno scelto sullo strumento che suoni, con il perché conta, i brani da ascoltare e le fonti. Un quiz per vedere quanto ne sai. Un archivio dei dischi già usciti. IL NEGOZIO IN TASCA Il catalogo con acquisto diretto dall'app. Le riparazioni: prenoti, ricevi il preventivo, lo accetti o lo rifiuti e segui lo stato fino al ritiro, con una notifica a ogni passaggio. Il noleggio di strumenti, audio e luci. Il liutaio, un assistente che risponde ai dubbi tecnici e ti dice quando conviene passare in laboratorio. La prenotazione di una prova in negozio, il sabato. Gli eventi in negozio. I PREMI SI RITIRANO AL BANCO Chi si esercita con costanza si guadagna un plettro, un set di corde montato, uno sconto sul set-up. Il codice si mostra alla cassa: nessuna spedizione, nessun punto virtuale. QUELLO CHE RESTA SUL TELEFONO Il microfono viene ascoltato dal vivo per accordare e per gli esercizi, ma non viene mai registrato né inviato da nessuna parte. Scalette, repertorio e progressi restano sul dispositivo. EFFE STORE — Via Provinciale Alessandria - Sale 27, Castelceriolo (AL) — 0131 1641867

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: EFFESTORE at none against Newzik's 4. EFFESTORE also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
