I hadn’t played in over 25 years (didn’t know much then either haha). Bought a used acustic Fender guitar not too long ago but just started playing again recently with this Fender app and it’s been great! If you want to learn something you first have to unlearn what you already “know”, so i decided […]

It takes forever to load once you purchase the subscription. Tried it on my tablet and phone and just keeps loading. During the free trial everything worked smooth and great. I could do lesson after lesson seamlessly. Now I have to wait for it to load average 45 minutes between lessons. I’ll run errands and […]
It’s okay. It was nearly worth the $50 per year they were charging. However, they are now charging $150 per year (even for current loyal subscribers), and it’s just not worth that at all. I’ll continue to use the app while my current subscription is active, but there’s no way I’ll be paying triple my […]
The app does what its suppose to and its fun! Although i am not sure why certain song lessons appear where they do in the stream of things. After learning the notes on the G string, the first song in the rock bass series focuses on the A string… Then we later learn those notes […]
I really love the app. My daughter & I both use it to learn guitar, bass & ukulele. The content is immediately engaging and keeps me coming back to learn more almost every day. I’d give it a 5/5, but it’s pretty difficult to use practice mode on my phone. It is stuck in portrait […]
The app has a good interface and the lessons are clear and well structured. It is more oriented towards beginners than intermediate players, but there is some content for intermediate players if you really look. I really would like the ability to filter based on “Electric” v. “Acoustic” guitar when looking at songs to learn. […]
As a beginner guitarist I find myself using this app more than any other. The quick lessons and challenges gives me things to practice in the short bursts of free time I have during my busy evenings. One thing i would like to see improved is the size of the tablature. Its difficult to see […]
I love the app, and I’ve learned a ton from it, but one thing that’s making me hesitate on 5 starts is that when you’re taught a song, the song progression is in a wierd order, and you don’t learn lyrical cues. While, yes, you can just pull the song up on ang media site, […]
I have always wanted to learn how to play a guitar, and this app has been amazing at getting me started! Small bites made it easier to jump in and learn at my own pace. My only complaint is that when it gets into play that scrolls on my phone, my phone screen wasn’t big […]
Good in theory. And maybe better on a computer. But terrible as a phone app. Lessons might have a teacher briefly mentioning a new chord. You then have to pause and move over to the chord page to see how to play it. Then they’ll run through a song, but the tabs/notation doesn’t scroll in […]
While I understand licensing and coming up with the very well produced lessons isn’t cheap, I’m just not finding enough songs to justify the expense. Easily 2/3 of the catalog is from groups I don’t like, or never heard of. The bands I’m interested in usually don’t have more than one song, or the song […]
New to the ukulele, and it has been very easy to learn. I’ve progressed to level 4 in a couple weeks. I’ve also started the guitar path as well. My only complaint is that during the lessons with longer songs the tab doesnt scroll or move up the screen so I have to stop in […]
Simply Incredible! I’m one of those guys who had a guitar, played 1-2x a week, and then threw it in the garage for a decade or longer. Wanted to pick it back up during quarantine, so I looked at a variety of apps. Fender Play is perfect if you are just beginning or know the […]
It’s a fantastic app overall, and I would HIGHLY recommend to anyone that has the time and money to get an annual subscription, especially because that gives you 10% off ALL Fender gear (guitars, amps, etc.). The only thing that it could do better is have more adaptive lessons to the instrument you are playing. […]
The app works well enough. The song selection seems to be updated regularly but for some reason when I try to search something, the app will delete a character after I type it. It happens constantly. I try to spell a word and it ends up to be about half the length and not even […]
I find the instructors annoying, especially the “catch phrases” they seemed to be required to use. There are no real skill tests. Also every single time I go to use the Tabs feature, I cause the app to hang up/refuse to load anything. Will likely end up canceling a few days in. It’s too basic […]
The lessons are easy to follow, well paced and I love the variety of instructors. However, just make sure there’s no delay in audio playback if you’re using Bluetooth to play through you amp. My timing was off until I switched to phone audio. One frustration though, the practice and feedback modes are hard to […]
The lessons are solid! I’ve learned more with this app than any other guitar app. Fender is quality. The only reason I didn’t get five stars is because it is constantly logging me out and when I do log back in it takes me right to the page of sign up as if I’m not […]
I thought I was supposed to get a notification before my free trial period was up, but that didn’t happen. I’m an idiot for not setting a reminder on my calendar to cancel before my free period ended. Cancelling the day after gets me the privilege of paying $90 for a year of nothing useful. […]
I normally use the desktop to access the lessons but the app comes in handy and I find myself using it. Haven’t had any crashes or bugs so far. As far as the content, it has actually helped me progress more in the last 3 months then every time I’ve decided I wanted to “learn” […]
