Good app, but only 7 Hawaiian songs? For a ukulele, only 7? Most of the songs are rock and roll and other stuff. Probably great for hipster ukulele players. but if you’re looking to learn Hawaiian songs, look elsewhere. I purchased a yearly subscription. I was helping more Hawaiian songs would be revealed with that. […]

I’m on Redmi note pro 13 and there is a huge synchronisation problem between video and audio. This makes the whole experience underwhelming to say the least. I’d go beyond trial if this is addressed but until then, I won’t pay for a yearly subscription for a buggy app. bummer, content is nice. And content […]

I love this app. It’s really helpful for a beginner like me because it makes it fun to practice and learn chords. I’m using it constantly. The only thing I would change is I wish I had an option to turn off the color coding for the chords. While it’s helpful at first, my brain […]

I just bought a ukulele from them I thought I would get a little more of the songs from the app seems expensive to buy the whole full version and it doesn’t play the music in a way that you can get a real feel for the sound of the song. The company should give […]

This app used to rock, it was so easy to practice with and understand, but it has become useless. I used to be willing to pay for a subscription even though I only used it every so often, it was just that good, but now I don’t even want to keep it for the tuner. […]

I signed up for the free trial and enjoyed ukulenny’s lessons so ended up paying for the year ($65+?). Well, after about 3 weeks, I realized there are features that I really want that Kala app does not have. 1. More old school songs, like Somewhere Over the Rainbow and many others. It’s mostly pop […]

Free songs should be free and not say “get full access” in a box. This app doesn’t work well with a kala baritone since you can’t change the key to DGBE. Transpose is spotty in what you can shift up or down. If you press down on the wrong part of the screen to change […]

Great (free)app for beginners. They have plenty of free songs for the brand new player under the Color Chord section. Advanced players will want to pay but it seems worth it once I get better. I’m loving the play along where I can REALLY slow down the song. 4 stars only because I think I’ll […]

This app went from being decent to terrible really quickly. It used to have a few free songs to give you a feel of what the app would be like and teach you the basics of playing ukulele. Now everything including the bare basic tuner is locked behind a pay wall and honestly the tuner […]

Nag nag nag! They want you to try it but it’s like a used car salesman that won’t leave you alone long enough to evaluate the damn car! You can’t even play a song thru because it stops to nag you! From what I could see the tuner is like a bad joke. The format […]

its just a strumming and chord guide, also its kinda BS to pay a “subscription” for all the songs. I’d gladly pay one time for just the songs I want to learn, but they want half the cost of the ukulele every year. Let me pay one time. Stop holding songs behind an insane yearly […]

First time player. This app offers different modes of tuning that helped me make sense of it. The song learning is kinda like a guitar hero experience game that you can change the tempo for better success while lerning how to transition chords. It gives feedback on what you are doing well and what you […]

Love this app! It has popular songs so you get excited about learning and you can easily learn a few songs in an hour. I just recently picked up a ukelele and my family is surprised by how quickly Ive learned. The app has a tuner and new songs every so often. Highly recommend to […]

The older version of the app was so much better-easier to use and intuitive. This makes it more tricky to learn in my opinion. It’s not clear what notes you are supposed to play when. I miss being able to have the landscape view for playing and the immediate feedback on the song. Some of […]

Loving this app. I got a Uke given to me on the 4th of July and I’m already close to playing my first whole song a bit over a week later! (Jason Mraz “I’m Yours”) I’ve never played an instrument before! I’ve always just been a singer. This is amazing, the short videos are perfect […]

I downloaded this app a few months back to learn some basics, but ended up ignoring most of the songs. Then I took my ukulele camping with me and actually sat down to look through the list of songs available, and I was blown away. I ended up playing for a number of impromptu sing-alongs. […]

Haven’t used as often as I’d like but a great learning tool for beginners like me. I play piano by ear & have 2 yrs general knowledge of music from lessons taken many years ago. At 8 yo and again 16. I’m glad I took them if nothing else but to learn basic theory, timing, […]

Great app. Easy to learn with a top notch instructor. Every practice session feels like a private lesson. If you’re looking to learn the Ukulele this is the app for you. Yearly fees may be a little cost prohibited depending on your budget, but they have a free 7 day trial and sales for the […]

Very helpful app, I enjoy the lessons & daily practice as well as playing along with the songs. The only thing I feel is missing is the chord diagram when learning the note scales. it can be hard to figure out where to put your fingers just by description in the videos and then implement […]

Wonderful, until daily practice unlocks. I did pay for a year and my one complaint is that the daily practice for beginners always starts with a song that I have not learned the chords for, and so far these are also a quick tempo. I don’t appreciate my first practice session being a disaster because […]
