The navigation on this app is totally fkd... it seems to be amateur coding/design... and the app is utterly useless to me... a pity because I want an app that does exactly what this one does... really aggravating! Make this thing work and I'll pay good money for it.

The app is lacking many basic options. For example you can't play the backing track from a certain point - always from the beggining, you can't name saved tracks i won't even talk about the fact you cant copy a line and paste it. Also buying styles is a waste of money - they are as basic as you could imagine. It's like a kids version of what you'd expect.

Generally a very good app. I use it quite regularly. BUT...The Bass guitar is waaaaay softer than the guitars & drums. Can this be fixed asap? Also....the Bass guitar needs to be an octave lower in most of the styles as that is the register most bands are used to hearing. Ie 2 octaves lower than normal guitars. A function to SAVE the track would be reeeeally helpful, as I could then share/send to students. Please give me/us some feedback If these 2 issues are fixed I will give it 5 stars.

When you change the tempo, it changes the pitch of the music which is really annoying and frustrating. It makes it pretty much impossible to use

Good solid app. im a bass player and its a rock solid tool for practice of modes, chord types and the like. The only thing i would add to it, would be more practice specific functions, namely the ability to produce. continuous chord tones, a mic that would listen to and display chords or melody lines, and the ability to customize tuning pitch.

Very frustrated with screen navigation. Every time that I change my mind and want to go back a screen, the only options it gives me is to totally leave the app, or stay on the current screen. This is preventing me from even trying the app. Otherwise, I would gladly pay the six bucks to unlock all 27 styles.
