Ratings and reviews

The trial is good enough. I purchased the full package and the learning curve from the easy course to the medium course is too steep. I asked for a refund as I had only used the product for 4 days without the 7 day trial. They denied the request as I had purchased with a special promo which was the rate offered at checkout.

This app is really good if you're an absolute beginner. I played for years but picked the sax up again recently. I was able to breeze through the entire thing in a couple sessions so it's really for the greenest players. Heads up: there's a bug. When you attempt a song more than once, the visual metronome falls out of sync with the audio. If you swipe back to the lesson screen, it will reset and work properly again.

Seems like a pretty cool app. I wanted to try premium for the 7 days but when i click the 7 days free button, it just immediately wants to charge me the full yearly price with no 7 day trail. False advertising.. I am a first time user so it's not like I've already used up a free trial. Why would I pay that much for a full year without trying it first to see if it's even worth it? Otherwise I'll look forward to just using the free version for now.
