Ratings and reviews

It's easy to dismiss the app due to the dated initial graphics. The tuner frequently will not work. However, if you register your book to the app, it unlocks so much content! You can go page by page and lesson by lesson and not only hear what it should sound like, you can also record yourself to see how you progress. My daughter's school is using this series of books, and I'm getting back into playing myself, so practicing with her is very valuable with this app!

Absolutely terrible, I expected much better. Impossibly slow. The page rotates even with rotation turned off on my phone. The tuner doesn't even open, but instead makes the app freeze and require a restart. The least it could do is remember the page I was on since it makes you log in EVERY. DANG. TIME. Next time I will purchase a book from a company that functions with technology, it's not like it's a new idea.

It seems kind of pointless. The metronome and recording aspects are alright but everything else is useless. It is not very intuitive and for someone who is just starting out and trying to learn it is really no help at all. There is music to play along with but it is a whole band. Isolate the individual instruments so the learner can hear what they are trying to play. This app is not well designed and easy to navigate. I really hate this app.
