Ratings and reviews

I've had Tonic for a month now, and it has revolutionized my practicing! Before I started using it, I wasn't motivated to practice and barely did for 20 minutes everyday. I progressed very little, and did not do well in lessons, auditions, etc. Now, since I've had tonic, I am motivated to practice!! Instead of 20 minutes, I practice at so much more every day! I want to practice because I know there will be people there to listen to me and provide advice on how I can play better. It's so awesome!

Overall this app is great. Gamified practicing is a great motivator. Can sometimes be glitchy though. Things I would like to see in the future: 1. Dark mode for the entire app (not just for studios). 2. View practice history in graph form. As of right now the bar graph only allows you to see the current week, with history further back viewed as a list. 3. Ability to remove viewers from studio. There have been instances of bad eggs causing trouble with no way to kick them.

This app is the best! It has been a great motivator for me to get up and practice. It has also helped with my performance anxiety. When people join, I notice that my playing tends to get slightly worse due to the feeling of being watched. However, the encouraging messages I receive, like "This sounds beautiful" and "You are doing great," really help to dispel my negative self-criticism. The app is fantastic for overcoming that fear and putting yourself out there.
