Ratings and reviews

The app is a great concept and can be very helpful motivate me to practice. However the app is so buggy that iv lost my streak before because the app would not open or just bug out when I tried to open a studio. Another thing to be mindful of is that when you block someone it does not hide any of there messages in threads. I do not know if this is a bug or intentional but this is something that has made me limit my use of the chats.

Installed the May update today. To my disappointment (but not surprise), the most recent release introduced 3 new bugs: app crashes when a studio ends, tapping on an invite also crashes the app, and the studios page loads somehow even slower than before. I've been using this app almost from it's launch nearly 3 years ago, and still the same ole song & dance. I hope one day the team will prioritize testing to catch bugs before releasing updates and begin to take user feedback into consideration.

Pros: community groups, good way to keep track of practice time. Basically everything it's supposed to be, with the addition of you get to listen to professionals play. leader boards and practice streaks are good motivation to practice everyday Cons: "Daily bonus" at least for me makes it so there's not so much incentive to go beyond 20 minutes a day of practice. Studios take too long to load.

What's new

New release with features including Streak Freezes, Zen Mode, Inventory, and Contact list pairing. Also a huge fix to various reports of studios closing after 5 minutes. Streak freezing allows a user to save their streak if they missed a day in the past. When you play a studio, there’s a chance you may find a streak freeze. Zen Mode allows you to opt out of Leagues, pausing your ranking until you opt back in. Contact list pairing allows you to find friends to follow on Tonic.
