2024-09-22 | Gabriel | Cannot login anymore. The web interface permits a password longer than 12 characters, but the application doesn't accept a password longer than 12 characters. I could login only after I set a pass with 12 characters. | |
2024-04-27 | C | I was very excited to get my ukulele. However, I will have to look outside of the app to learn how to play it. There is no way to slow the songs down for learning Song selection is sparce, which i get due to copyright. Tuner is finicky Unless they make the app better, just get a normal Ukulele. It's just not worth the price paid for Ukulele and App. I'll learn it, just not with the app. If i had a do over, i get a regular Ukulele. If the app gets a good update, i'll edit my rating | |
2023-04-24 | Harley Davidson-Jones | Great app does exactly what it's meant to. Only problem is when I hit perform, it keeps taking me to settings to allow storage. I have allowed over and over again but it still will not go to perform even though it has downloaded? Please help. | |
2022-12-05 | Piotr Gurgul | It's a joke of an app. Haven't seen anything like this before. Crashing all the time. 100% crash rate when entering paid courses. Frequent crashes when starting the "game". No QA whatsoever, not up to any standards European and US users may be accustomed to. Half of it is in Chinese. | |
2022-11-06 | Steve Dalton | Failed to update resource files....can't use it at all. Awesome since I paid a bunch of money for an instrument because of your technology and I can't use the technology. Get this fixed. Update: They fixed it, but now we're back to issues. I can't log in and I can't say I forgot my password...it all errors. Can't find my profile... | |
2022-10-29 | K K | Unable to go pay lesson 9, even with 80 for the challenge. With a headset, sometimes there's a delay in hearing the audio as well as sending when I've hit a key. Sometimes in the training videos there seems to be extra notes even if I'm not playing. Decent app overall - just a few slight issues that haven't stopped me from playing. And while I'm learning, no sight reading like some competitors have ... Yet! Also unable to play it without the app. Which is most unfortunate. | |
2022-10-06 | Jonathan Counihan | The most garbage an app can possibly be, don't believe the fake Chinese reviews. Takes a Loooong time to do anything including stalls out. It also tells you it will scrape all data it has access to in terms and conditions yay. If you end up paying $120 to unlock the game feature then you find out it's just a bunch of 3 minute YouTube videos that you're forced to watch to continue. After 30 minutes of restarting the app and skimming mediocre videos I stopped. Multiple unity crash screens. | |
2022-10-04 | Niu Zay | Edit: The app no longer works, video courses don't load and I am stuck on the loading screen. Tried reinstalling and clearing the cache, does not help. Original Feedback: Good idea, bad execution: I was pretty excited to get started and completed some lessons on my 1st day. 2nd day: app no longer starts and displays a popup "server maintenance". No information found online. The maintenance took 2-3 days! Pretty unacceptable... Seems to happen regularly, according to other reviews. | |
2022-08-07 | James Driskell | The app and lessons are moderately challenging up until lesson number nine when you reach the song faded by Alan walker. You have to pass the game on this lesson to proceed to the next set of lessons. I've been trying for days. The tempo of the song is like twice what it should be compared to the real song! Cannot get get past the stupid song! So dead end! The difficulty jumped from manageable to damn near impossible! Makes the app useless and the lights and connectivity pointless. Bad! | |
2022-07-05 | Gregory Taylor | While the concept is good I can't seem to get past tuning. It jumps between tune up and tune down. A couple of times I did make it to the learning chords part, but as soon as I was able to get my fingers right it was already on the next chord. Instructions don't seem to match the app. Will probably learn to play without the app since it is just frustrating me. The ukulele is a nice instrument, the app is not so much so. Perhaps making sure the included User Manual matched the App would help. |
