It's not the most accurate when it comes to picking up sound. It demerits me for things that I know I've played correctly and gives me credit for things that I know that I have not played correctly. Using this app is a continued exercise of frustration. There are some features like the chord diagrams that are useful but are counterproductive due to the selective listening of the software. For someone who is trying to learn the inability to adjust the speed is nonexistent and frustrating.

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🤷

Great Learning Guide! Overall I'm very happy with the app and the purchase but can't give five stars because the app refuses to register when I'm playing the six string which causes me to have to repeat exercises multiple times when I'm clearly playing what's asked. Minor annoyance overall, I'm learning a ton so far!
