Kala Ukulele Lessons & Tuner for Negative User Reviews
✓ Beware ScamSCAM. I signed up for the free trial and on the last day of my trial received a charge for a full year subscription. I had no intention of paying for a subscription and cancelled right away but I’m having issues getting my money back. Avoid the hassle and use YouTube to learn instead, there are great tutorials on there. This app is not worth your time even if it was completely free and not a scam..Version: 2.3.6
✓ To hard for beginners on the gutairI like listening to the songs but one thing is that when you try to play one of the easiest songs on the game you still can do it! Can you add a easy thing because all ur songs are really hard to play you don’t even give us much time to do a song because the notes come by too fast! I’m rating this game 2 stars because I wanted to learn how to play the guitar but this game doesn’t really teach you anything but playing songs I’ll rate this game 5 stars if u can make it easier and make it so you have more time to get the correct note on playing the guitar! U did kinda good on this game I’m waiting for you to change and I’ll rate you 5 stars thank you! 😁.Version: 2.1.1
✓ The update ruined the appThis WAS a great app. I had never picked up an instrument before, but a trip to Maui inspired me to buy a Kala ukulele. I had been using the app for about 10 months and felt like I was learning and getting much better. I started out at 1 star ratings after finishing a song and was regularly getting 3 stars. Then I updated the app. The problems are: 1. Deleted my old playlist. 2. Although my microphone is on, the cord feedback now requires headphones. 3. Got rid of the score and star rating on how you did playing a song. 4. Scrolling through songs is glitchy and there is a faint imprint of the song list with the scrolled list behind it. Can’t tell what song you’re actually clicking on. 5. The strum patterns are not as useful as the old style. 6. The whole interface is clunky. I love my Kala ukulele, but the update ruined this app..Version: 3.2.0
✓ Unable to open appI have only been able to use this app once and I really think this app is great but when I select a song to play I keep getting told “unable to download song. Please try again later”, which is very annoying since I paid the full use of this app and I really want to play ukulele. Please fix this app so we can enjoy it and achieve my dream..Version: 2.3.14
✓ Great until it stopped workingWas good but stalls on splash screen for me now. Good app to help learn ukulele - my 9 year old loved using it. It has a good selection of modern tunes to play. Has inbuilt tuning app too which is useful.Version: 2.3.5
✓ Full accessBasically the only thing The app did was help me tune my ukulele and nothing else. Full access is really annoying because you have to pay for it. Also without full access it only lets you play 29 seconds of one song! But it’s a good app for tuning your ukulele..Version: 2.3.15
✓ Songs missing, not a great updateBeen using the app for a year or two to relax and sing to my favorite songs, but since the new update things have been getting worse such as chords changing in songs that weren’t there before (for example Bm was added to my go to 4 Non Blondes song “What’s up” and now is difficult to play). But today I think there was a licensing update because half of my song are gone from my favorites playlist (I think I had 20 total). Most of entire bands are missing like Coldplay (“Yellow”, “The Scientist”), Snow Patrol (“Run” “Say Yes” “Chasing Cars”) and more. I know there’s not much you can do about licensing, but a way to see notifications on the app for updates like these would’ve been better than to find half of your favorite songs just gone. It’s just a bummer..Version: 3.2.2
✓ HorribleHello.Version: 2.3.15
✓ Doesn’t use accessibility featuresI just bought a beautiful, KALA Uke . Oh, I thought this app would be a nice addition to the other ukulele apps I use however, I am legally blind, and I use accessibility features on my iPhone. This app does not accommodate voice over, so IM deleting it. I’m sure it’s a great app for those of you who can see to read it. All of my other apps use accessibility features so it was disappointing that this did not..Version: 3.4.2
✓ Good... but... $$So, this app gives you a free trial. I didn’t know about this, and a few days after I downloaded the app, it said I had to buy a subscription to be able to play or even access certain songs. The ones it DID let me play, it only let me play for like 30 seconds. But the tuner is free, and that is good (the only good thing about this app). You should get it if you are willing to pay. Also, it doesn’t have every song, even with the premium. You can suggest songs, but the ones that aren’t originally played with a uke they don’t have..Version: 2.3.1
✓ New version is a definite downgradeNew version doesn’t allow for removing a vocal instrumental track or add/remove percussion tracks. Lyrics are very difficult to read with new color scheme. Tuner doesn’t seem to work as well. Song library has changed and some of my previous favs are gone. I can’t think of one thing that is better in the new update. I still use some but find myself just watching you tube tutorials. They charge $35 a year but my daughter went back to playing her uke after a few months off they charged her $35 annual, a week later a $6 monthly fee, and a week later a $65 annual fee. Took a complaint to Apple to get it corrected. Seemed a bit shady..Version: 3.3.3
✓ Far too expensive this is not freeNothing contained within which is not freely available.Version: 2.3.1
✓ Freezes on logo screenApp loads and works once upon download. But as soon as you close the app and reopen it it freezes on the logo screen. When it works it is a great app useful for learning how to play. However every time I want to use it I have to delete and redownload the app..Version: 2.3.5
✓ False pubJust bough kala ukulele and it says free Kala app on it, but when I use the app, it says that I need to pay after 7 days..Version: 3.1.0
✓ GarbageThe tune doesn’t work, the needle jumps around and even when it does settle it sounds nothing like it’s supposed to.Version: 3.0.8
✓ Not downloadingI have over an iOS 10.3.3 but it still won't download, it is a shame as I was looking forward to learning how to use my baritone ukulele..Version: 2.2.0
✓ LThe guy doesn’t really show how to do the chords. It only tells you how it sounds.Version: 2.1.3
✓ Can’t use my baritone ukeDid not see an option for baritone uke.Version: 2.3.8
✓ HOW TO CANCELWhy in the world did they make this so difficult? Why isn’t there any ability to switch to baritone? In order to cancel this app you need to go into your iTunes Store. Scroll allllll the way down to the bottom and click on your Apple ID. From there it will take you into account settings. You will find your subscriptions in there where you can cancel the subscription to this app. As an experienced musician this app is not worth the time. Maybe for a brand new beginner with a soprano uke, but not anybody who already knows chords, how to strum, or has a baritone ukulele. Don’t waste your time..Version: 2.3.11
✓ The app does not loadThe circle keeps turning. White screen of death..Version: 3.7.1
✓ Terrible customer serviceI have an issue with not being able to see any songs even though I have a paid membership. It works only on my iPad but not on my phone. Customer service took months sometimes to reply and then finally told me they can’t fix the issue and to ask for a refund. I tried but apple of course wouldn’t let me. I sent an email to let them know… crickets once again.. so sad because the app can be great..Version: 3.3.4
✓ Useless for baritone uke except for tuningIn the introductory lessons there was always explanation of the chords for baritone ukulele. I purchased the app under the misapprehension that I would be able to access all the lessons/songs for baritone. None of the songs are available for the baritone uke, therefore I can only use it as a tuner. That was a waste of $100..Version: 3.4.2
✓ Video in full screen Black overlayThe app is amazing and user interface in it very good. I’m having an issue with videos playing in full screen. They have the black overlay and controls showing all the time. Blocking the video..Version: 3.6.1
✓ App needs better feedbackI was tuning my ukulele as instructed is stated for the first sting I started on it was too high therefore I turned it down and it was all good the string was tuned and I was happy. I went to the next one it stated it was too high and kept saying that no matter how low I went to tune it. Therefore I went to the a string it stated too low therefore I tuned it higher and higher next thing I know the sting breaks by this point I’m upset because now I’ve broken my ukulele and need to replace my string when all i wanted to do was tune it. Please fix this so it doesn’t happen too others. I understand that I should have knew it was getting to tight I had a feeling but decided to ignore due to positive ratings. I am deeply disappointed but not trying to be rude in any way or form because I know how notes, letters, texts, ect. Can and may be interpreted in other ways please state I know it’s my fault as well but please understand that I am a beginner whom is trying to play the ukulele and become good at the instrument I hope to at least get the hang of. Thank you for reading I know this takes time off from you but please fix this..Version: 2.2.8
✓ Can’t play any songsDownloaded the app, tuned my instrument but none of the songs are able to load. Tried both with wifi and with data, and not a single song is able to play. Disappointed I can’t use this app to learn, I would’ve gladly paid for a subscription, too.Version: 2.3.6
✓ App now uselessThis app updated a few days ago and it has now quit on my 5 times in a row. The app is now useless..Version: 2.3.0
✓ Beware!I wanted to try the supposed free app but when I opened it, it said it was only for a 4 day trial and would automatically charge me unless I cancelled at least 24 hours before the 4 day limit. It wouldn't let me cancel it without creating an account, yet in creating an account it automatically charged me and even when I hunted round to cancel the subscription it still said it would only cancel from the next month! I immediately logged on to my iTunes account to cancel the purchase, as I was deliberately trying to avoid such a catch..Version: 2.0.4
✓ Tuner problem and trouble pausing the songThis app is ok, Let’s start with the tuner. I had another app before this with a tuner, my ukulele was tuned and ready to go in SECONDS. However, with this app it took a while, the tuner had a hard time deciding whether the note was in tune or not. Now moving on to pausing the songs, sometimes when I was playing a song I would need to stop the song, but the song is hard to pause, I still don’t know how I do it. I just click random areas in hope the song would stop. Other than this the app lets you pick what tempo you want and helps you keep the tempo and every thing else it’s supposed to..Version: 2.2.0
✓ For beginners onlyThere is a good library of songs and short lessons, but the arrangements/strumming patterns are for beginners, regardless of the rating of the song (Easy, Medium, Hard). The "play along" feature is ok, providing tutorials for the chords and strumming pattern needed for the song, but I noticed several times the strumming pattern suggested was not the one that was heard on the sound track. As far as I can tell, there is no way to print out song sheets, so you are stuck playing in front of your computer or tablet. I think a subscription to Chorify, about half the price of this app, would be a better buy, especially for someone with a little playing experience..Version: 3.6.2
✓ Ah manWhy oh why did I buy the annual subscription when you then go and delete a load of the songs I liked from the selection? No warning? I was just getting good at playing them now they’re gone. Pretty sad about this..Version: 3.2.0
✓ Backing tracksCan’t quite decide whether to subscribe to this app as I have a dilemma ,the app looks absolutely fine ,tried it three days so for the only downfall is the backing tracks are a bit naff..Version: 2.0.4
✓ SubsrcriptionCannot unsubscribe from this app..Version: 2.2.3
✓ So disappointedThis WAS such an awesome App, I was recomending it to everyone I knew. I, without a musical bone in my body, was actually learning the ukelele. I was so impressed with myself, but even more impressed with the simple genius of the App! I took a break and came back to an updated version that looks fancy and works like crap. What the heck? Ugh, bring back the old version!!! This is not what I signed up for 😭. It can’t get permission from my microphone, there is no option for it, so I can’t tune play along anything. No landscape mode anymore. Everything is so buggy I can’t open chords without it crashing or even hit the play buttons to here the songs. UGH and now I’m stuck with a subscription for this. Can’t I just get the old version back? Or at least a refund? I can’t even use it!!.Version: 3.0.9
✓ Play list is goneThe app was “improved” a few months back. Since that time I rarely use it. I loved it before the changes and would recommend it to friends. The new version removed my playlist and that is my biggest disappointment. Not as user friendly. So sad. I renewed it anyway hoping it would grow on me. It has not so I am looking for another app. Second issue is the new songs are all current songs. You rarely have anything of vintage music that is added. So my playlist disappeared without any warning and no new music that I care for. Bummer!.Version: 3.1.0
✓ Good - Could be BetterI received a Kala Ukelele Starter kit for Christmas. I like the app but think a few things could be improved. The first thing that comes to mind is the whole “starter kit” marketing. The kit is really just the ukele - anyone can download this App... I would give purchasers of this starter kit some sort of incentive like a free year to the full app. From what I understand you could buy any ukelele and use the kala app. The second thing is the lessons in the app. They are so so, as mentioned by others most are about 10 second clips with a zoomed in camera and no real tips. My final complain is that in the progress section of the app - none of my playing is saving. I’d love to see my progress and have played numerous songs to completion but it still says that I need to play songs to add data. On the positive I really like the interface of the strings to guide you as you play. The app has the right foundation just needs a couple tweaks and the kala starter kit needs more bang for its buck - doesn’t really separate itself from any other ukelele..Version: 2.1.1
✓ It’s not the bestIt’s not a good tuning app I tried g for atleast twenty minutes and nope.Version: 2.3.17
✓ I am not making an account to use a tunerC’mon..Version: 3.5.1
✓ Just OKThis app has a nice tuner and some fun songs to play. As someone new to playing music, I find their tutorial to be lacking. The tutorials for chords are links to videos that last 10 seconds without any verbal instruction. They need to offer more for people actually trying to learn music. Like suggested finger placement, as I find some of the chords difficult to place my fingers for. Also for the iPhone 10 and 10S they have not optimized their app for these phones screens. It is often cut off near the top of the screen..Version: 2.1.0
✓ Idiot appThis App is the worst it made me break my ukulele when are the strips so stupid.Version: 3.3.5
✓ Kala ukulele deceivesThe kala ukulele advertises this as free to help you learn, but it’s a subscription. There is plenty of free content out there. Really disappointed that they are promoting themselves inaccurately. I can understand charging people if they have a different brand, but if you buy a kala ukulele it should come with a one year subscription at least since the box itself advertises the app as a free resource. I chose Kala because it came with the app. Guess I should have looked further into it before purchasing..Version: 3.6.0
✓ OkThis seems like a good app.. but impossible to login and have a record of your progress the “continue” button will not highlight... sad really I was really looking forward to using it.Version: 2.1.3
✓ Tis a bit glitchy & could use more explainingThe app is a bit glitchy. I bought the Kala ukulele and it made sense to get the app. I have only been using it for 6 days now and day 2’s title says ‘F chord’ when it taught G chord, and the songs after the lesson has F& G chord when I fact I have not learned F chord yet. The day 3 says ‘G chord’ when it teaches F. Also could go a bit more in depth about strumming. I am still very confused on this so I am not even sure if I am playing correctly. I’ve been strumming with one thumb, but the picture shows all fingers. Do I use the tips of my fingers? Or the nails? I really am not sure. I like the tuning part that makes sure you are in key and idk if I am just strumming wrong or what but it doesn’t sound like his does. Also, when playing the songs I know it isn’t always catching my notes and if I get them wrong so I don’t trust that it is counting how many g chords I get properly..Version: 3.3.4
✓ CrashedI can’t even open the app.Version: 2.3.8
✓ GoodI love this app but if you really want to learn the ukulele you have to buy de full version because there is just a tuner, tutorials to now your chords and like 10 songs!.Version: 2.3.8
✓ No access to log in after purchase??I’ve just purchased the kala ukulele app after a few days of trialling it. I am having problems accessing the profile now that it’s been purchased. I was going to pay for 4chords as well but will wait until this is sorted in case it’s a problem across all of Musopia and will change to 5* when fixed..Version: 2.0.1
