It's a cool app that motivates you to practice your instrument, and listen to others practice too. I wish there was more customization options for my avatar. Also I wish you could list exotic instruments under what you play. I wanted to put my instrument (Bandura) but could only put "Other" as the instrument I play.

Hi Chris! Thanks for leaving us a review. We're happy to hear that you find it cool and full of motivation. We hear you on the more options for customization. We definitely plan to do more with customization in the future! As for instruments, we would love to add more. Thank you for the recommendation. Happy practicing!

This app is the best! It has been a great motivator for me to get up and practice. It has also helped with my performance anxiety. When people join, I notice that my playing tends to get slightly worse due to the feeling of being watched. However, the encouraging messages I receive, like "This sounds beautiful" and "You are doing great," really help to dispel my negative self-criticism. The app is fantastic for overcoming that fear and putting yourself out there.

Overall this app is great. Gamified practicing is a great motivator. Can sometimes be glitchy though. Things I would like to see in the future: 1. Dark mode for the entire app (not just for studios). 2. View practice history in graph form. As of right now the bar graph only allows you to see the current week, with history further back viewed as a list. 3. Ability to remove viewers from studio. There have been instances of bad eggs causing trouble with no way to kick them.

Thanks, Tara! We’re glad you’re enjoying the app and appreciate your detailed suggestions. Dark mode, improved graphs, and better studio management are all great ideas we will consider for future updates. As for removing those bad eggs, using the block feature will kick them out of your Studio. Happy playing!
