Ratings and reviews

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)

I subscribed to the premium - the recognition feature is AWFUL. It says I play notes or chords when I don't (ex, play Em four times, I'll play it once and all four strums will show played). I put headphones in as it recommended and it didn't help. PLEASE FIX. YOU SHOULDN'T OFFER PREMIUM IF IT'S NOT AS ADVERTISED.

It doesn't hear specific notes well. I got all the way to where it teaches power chords, and it doesn't recognize E5 played correctly. I can't progress to where the lesson speeds up because in order for it to say I hit the note correctly, I have to slowly strum string 6 and then string 5. All other notes work just fine, so I know it's not me or my phone. If you guys can fix that little issue and maybe other notes with that problem l, I'd rate this 5 stars.
