Ratings and reviews

Miserable, hugely overpriced, makes me cry every time I'm using it. With the lovely teaching apps around, how is it possible to make one like this? Full of bugs, keeps crashing all the time. Sensitivity: atrocious, records notes I haven't sung, and I couldn't have, because they are out of my range! Advice like this: Focus more, and you can surely do better! or Try harder! aren't helpful, just annoying. I'm hating it.

Good, but beware the price includes one grade only! £23.49 seemed a lot, BUT I was in desperate need of last minute practice so went for it, figuring I could use it for future grades. But now I've gone from Grade 3 to 4, I'd have to buy it all over again! Definitely was not clear on this. Overpriced for sure, would be OK if covered all grades.

The concept is really good but I have a few issues. Firstly the price seems excessive. Secondly, the paid content doesn't work without a good internet connection, meaning you can't use it offline or even with mobile data.Thirdly there are glitches: Ie in the cadence section the subdominant is automatically in root position(as required by abrsm) but some for some q's the answer is that it is in first inversion. Also in course 3 some q's just don't work properly (the wrong chords are played etc)
