Reviews for Simply Guitar - Learn Guitar

It's a shame how poorly it picks up sounds and the subscription is not very affordable for me. however it does give good tips and teaches about technique very well! I give the app one star because (like i said earlier) it sucks on recognizing notes and as another person said, it throws off you're timing and makes you want to quit. not to mention i can hardly tune my guitar on this app when I pluck the "E" string it reads green and immediately changes to the next one even if the sound is not OK.

I love playing the guitar, but I don't have one for myself. my friend sent me a free trial while I was at his place and I was practicing with one of his guitars. it was a 2 week free trial, which is great, but after it's done it'll bill you. I just set my account for deletion, but apparently it will take '30 days' to process. Can't wait to buy-back 125 dollars when the time comes because of this terrible system.

The free part of this app is good, it can pick up the crords I'm playing well. But just when I thought I can learn more, It makes you pay 100$ a year. Not only that, after you pay the app suddenly can't hear like any cord you play. I had to intentionally play the cord incorrectly just so it could hear it. But it's not like I'm just going to cancel my subscription, because I already payed 100$ so might as well cancel on the last day and just have a whole year of frustration. This app is a scam.

It was good for the first 5 minutes, which tought you the basics so you can play the song of your choice. I was excited when I finished the basics to play the song but then it stops you with a paywall just to play a song you can search up on Google. I really hate all these guitar apps that say they're free when in reality 90% of it is payed. Also, I saw a lot of reviews that were disappointed after they bought the subscription so, I wouldn't recommend it.

Extremely mediocre. While other apps have premium versions to learn faster and have unlimited time in a day, for this one you have to pay to keep using it after learning to pluck one string, and for some reason this app is terrible at picking up sound. I recommend Yousician as a much better choice than this. You can still actually learn a lot there for free if you don't feel like getting premium.

Firstly, I will be canceling my subscription. This app has so much potential. But it cannot pick up string 6 on the guitar. It's very frustrating to do parts of songs over and over just because the program can't pick up the "E" notes. It throws your timing off and makes you want to stop playing. I've used two different guitars, 2 amps and the same issue. Don't download.

Ok, first let me start by saying your ads make too ridiculous of promises. I'm fine if you wanna promise that your app will make learning easier, but that doesnt stop guitar from being inherently difficult to learn. That's how musical instruments work. They're hard. That being said, by what I'd seen pre-subscription, your methods are pretty easy to follow. It wasn't the greatest, mechanically, as it kept doing things like reading a chords ringing out as me playing it consecutively.

You see the ad on youtube. Doesnt say anything about pay. Seems like a good idea. Download it. Free download. Start to practice your first strings and the Em chord. Get all the way up to the final lesson. Playing along with a song. But as soon as you click on the song it brings you to a pay wall. You're disappointed because nowhere between the moment you saw the ad and now did it mention payment. Maybe if download wasnt free and said something in ad or in store it wouldnt be so infuriating. 1 ⭐

I used this app think that maybe I would possibly learn guitar, but surprise surprise! "You have to get PREMIUM to be able to learn your life dreams basics (:", that maybe have more hyperbole to it than it really is but seriously, a "free" app, if it were really free, than you'd think that you would be able to go a couple more lessons at least. And no, my name is not jon Petersen. For people who are looking to get educated in the matter of guitar, than they will have to choose a different app

I imagine this app would be useful for people who wouldn't mind paying money to learn guitar, but I should mention that even though downloading the app is free, it tells you to pay monthly/annual fees upon completing around five small lessons, and it fails to specify so in the advertisements where they say you can "Download it for free." Don't get this app if you aren't planning on spending money. The five lessons teach you stuff you can figure out on your own anyways.

Don't recommend. I wasted buying a year. It starts out okay. Doesn't pick up sound well at all. I had to buy a Bluetooth lapel microphone then it still doesn't do well, or you play the more one time and it rings in for all 4 notes that aren't the same note. Lessons will not complete so you can't move forward. I contacted support. It was a joke. They said we will try to fix it in a day or two. Don't waste your money or definitely don't purchase a year they get your money for a faulty app

Easy to understand and the videos made me feel good about myself. However, as a minor who wanted to take up guitar, it's a little stupid. I learned one chord and then everything gets locked because of membership. I didn't even get to play the song I picked!!! At least make it so they teach some more chords before they lock it??? That felt like getting dumped on the side of the road barely 10 minutes into the drive lol so ummm yeah. Youtube it is ig

Great app. BUT I was almost done with the first lesson went on to the song at the end and it was talking about the membership. I have to pay 90$ for an app I thought was free just had a few add ons that I could purchase if I wanted to but wasn't required. But turns out I am required to pay. Unless the app will be completely useless. At least let us fully complete like a few lessons so at least we have some skill before to make us pay.

As I was learning my first song, it had be pluck the correct string on the correct fret. I had no issue with that. But then it would have self guided exercises, when you had to pluck whenever the blue bar hit the proper note, which is where the problems lie. There's no method to what it makes correct or not. I would hit the not when the blue bar hit it. That didn't work. To test what did work, I would play no strings then see what they make correct, which was A LOT (although I plucked NOTHING)

it's a good app for guitar, it teaches you in a nice and easy to understand way, but as I was trying to line up my fingers to play a chord the app was counting the sound as right even when there was no noise and my phone was sitting still. It's really frustrating and inconvenient that it picks up on non-existent noise and doesn't pick up on the things I'm playing

it's really good, but the app does not clarify the notes properly also I would like if there would be a way to slow down the songs so then you could work up from slow to fast to faster so then you can get the song perfectly. I also really liked how if I had a problem I could go and ask their AI person tech thing and it would reply to me under 4 minutes which I think was very helpful.

I've gone through 8 lessons and bought the 6 months package, which is around $60, which is quite pricey, and if you cancel, you won't get a refund. It does teach you, but very SLOWLY, I've been through 8 full lessons, and I can't play any songs that I actually want to play. You do play songs, but there are other added guitars in the background, so you're not doing much work. It doesn't know the difference between cords when playing, and very much wish it was a faster pace, but you do learn so🤷

The initial training and the relaxed nature of the videos is great. However the listening feature is poor, often it won't hear the notes at all or will take a generic noise as the requested chord which can affect your learning and is very frustrating. The tuning function is inconsistent and will often say a string is out of tune when it definitely isn't. In hindsight I wish I hadn't paid the subscription.

I downloaded the app as an intermediate player. It seems like a good app to learn guitar through, it's just that it doesnt work (for me). I expected having to go through lessons I already knew since it comes with the territory, but It physically will not let me pass through the courses. It seems that once it gets to the part where you have to play in time, there's a 90% chance it will malfunction and prevent passage, making you have to do the whole part of the course over until it might let you.

Yea, I can't. Honestly, I have pretty good soundproofing in my room, so it picks up my strumming pretty well, but the whole subscription after one little lesson is a bit ridiculous especially when you're not a beginner. Plus you have to pay to even play the song you picked so I'm good. Guess I'll just learn on YouTube or something.
