I was trying to tune my guitar and start to tune my A string and it says its too low I time it up and it snaps. I had reset the app many times prior.
The app is a great beginners tool and learning expirience, especially if you don't have the time to learn "face to face" with live teacher. There is a small learning curve which makes your progress more accessible. Songs and lessions are added almost every day. Special thanks to Matthew from Gibson customer support for his help about my account.
I was reluctant to try this App because I figured it was another disappointment. But to My Surprise, Its actually really good. Each lesson is broken down and explained in simple terms. It also allows for a redo to hone the skills for that particular exercise. I have experienced a few glitches and Customer Service was right on top of it. No having to wait for a week to hear from them, just a few hours. I Recommend this App for anyone wanting an easy to follow learning tool. Thanks Gibson and Matt
I enjoy practising using this app on my Poco Pad. Learning loads with the amount of practice and songs available. really love it. and would really love to give it 5 stars if not for the heavy ios bias this company is exhibiting, e.g. the headphones icon used in the app (what is that ugly design?) to its message in its emailer. features is not on par as well. and can the in app feedback during practising be available without using the headphones?
The augmented reality function doesn't really seem to work. I've tried recalibrating multiple times, repositioning my phone etc... My results and scores are the same even if I don't actually play any notes. Headphones are not turned up loud enough for the app to hear I still get "perfect" scores and "too low/ too high" even if I'm not playing and have the strings muted.
The app could be good if it could actually start. I did a few lessons but now it will not start, it gets stuck on loading screen. I couldn't even use the trial week. EDIT: After I got contacted by the support team I uninstalled and reinstalled the app and now it works OK.
When the yearly subscription ended it took me a few months to renew because of the steep price but finally did it since I enjoyed practicing full songs... most of the songs I was practicing were gone (Police, ACDC, Clapton, probably others I forgot were in my favorites) that's a huge disappointment. I will spend more time on the lessons but won't renew next year.
This app appears to be all about getting you sign up for a subscription. You can't even try a song for free without going through the sign up process to get 14 days free which automatically enrolls you in a $14.99 a month subscription that you will have to cancel. I am assuming they are counting on people forgetting to unsubscribe. While it looks nice there are other apps *cough Songster *cough that offer WAY more tabs for a cheap single app purchase than this offers for a subscription.
Works well, no latency at all once it's sequenced. Lessons seem well laid out and simple to follow, at least from what I can tell in the free side of it. Which gets me to the negative, you can only pay through Google play (gonna guess apple store) I see no way to enter other ways to pay, so I can't get a full access 14 day trial to see what it's full capabilities. I'm not giving Google my credit info, nor am I going to purchase a play store card monthly. Make other ways to pay an option = more⭐️
Edit: I've become an exceptional guitar player. Still give 99% of the credit to the app for keeping me engaged in the beginning. Thanks! I can't believe how truly amazing the experience has been! I didn't know a thing about the guitar and this app, within 6 weeks, taught me the fundamentals and I've got pretty good after practicing and following the lessons. From knowing nothing to having an understanding of the guitar and being able to play licks, riffs, solos, and power cords in a short time.
