DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS GARBAGE APPTHE TUNING IS TERRIBLE IT CAN BARLEY HEAR MY GUITAR EVEN THOUGH I HAVE A GOOD MICROPHONE THE ADS SAY “LeArN fOr FREE” BUT YOU HAVE TO PAY A STUPID TRIAL TO BE ABLE TO LEARN SIMPLY ACTUALLY NO GARBAGE GUITAR IS A TERRIBLE APP AND A WASTE OF TIME DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT (i rated it 5 out of 5 so people can see this).Version: 4.2

Amazing app but I have some requestsThis app is amazing. I downloaded after I bought my first guitar. I had no prior knowledge or experience with the guitar and I feel like I have learned pretty quickly with this app. A few things I would like to see in the future are more song options and the ability to customize the Chord Switching Trainer. I think it would be useful to be able to practice switching between any chord I wanted. I also would like more song options. I was born and raised in the South so I would love the option to learn some songs from people like Jimmy Buffett, Allan Jackson, Kenny Chesney, and some more Lynyrd Skynyrd. Some other artist I would love to see are Train and Jack Johnson. Something else that I would love to see would be some Christian songs for those who would like to play in the church band on Sundays eventually. If those things were added this would be a definite 5 stars!.Version: 7.0

Good but thee are no good songsI love this app it teaches me lots but it doesn’t have any songs I want I want to play rock music but there like no rock I want songs by nirvana and foo fighter. Ex: smells like teen spirit and more..Version: 8.0.2

Please change it a bit☹️I love the whole thing I was soooo excited to play my favourite songs so I did the whole cores and I did it for nothing because I got sooo sad because I couldn’t do any songs it almost made me cry I😢im only a kid i don’t have money and when I did have money someone robbed me I have no more money anymore I know this is your job but PLEASE at least let us do some songs can you maybe put SOME for premium and i made my fingers hurt sooooooooooooooo much for nothing😞😕🙁😢😭😭.Version: 6.20

Great App!Totally great app, helps a lot. I would totally recommend this to anyone and everyone who are looking to play or learn the guitar.Version: 3.0.1

This app is AMAZING.At first I was sceptical. I’ve barely ever played guitar before and all the other apps I’ve tried have the majority of it features locked behind a paywall, so I have to give up. This app not only gently guides you through the basics, it also supports and thoroughly helps any struggles in particular areas. It’s organised into lessons, each with a manageable chunk of lesson, a mixture of listening and physical activity. Nothing is a ‘premium feature’ as far as I can tell, and I’ve never felt more inspired to pick up the guitar I’ve had for ages and sing again. I would rate it higher if I could, this is an absolute jackpot and you won’t regret downloading this..Version: 1.0.2

Absolutely Amazing App…I don’t agree with all the negative feedback about this app I pay for the app premium yearly and find its worth it for guitar, piano and singing lessons…I find the guitar and piano lessons very enjoyable and informative, and the singing too when I get around to some of that…the guitar one is excellent so far I’m waiting for the new lessons to come out…but there’s plenty of content to be going on with going over old lessons, and lots of songs to learn already saved loads of chords and finger picking to practice while waiting for new content if I’d got time I can use this app all day long there’s so much to do…love the guitar instructor…he’s pretty cool…and communication is great..can’t wait for another day for time to practice and use this app and whoever said there fingers hurt from playing a guitar as a beginner…of course your fingers will hurt…you get use to it if you keep learning…love this app…thanks….Version: 6.21

Amazing.Try it, doesn’t cost anything. . It’s worth. The best part is it doesn’t stop you if not subscribed. It covers up with ads. Lovely guys!! Thank u!!.Version: 4.7

Feedback not accurate but goodI really love this app, it can teach me so much. But there is one problem. This app is simply amazing and teaches us a lot but the feedback isn’t good. When I first tuned the guitar it caused me and my whole family that tried a lot of stress. Also for the chords, I have to stretch my fingers a lot, the sound was muffled and I got the cord wrong no matter how hard I stretched my fingers. I am upset about this but the app teaches us a lot and it is very good..Version: 6.20

Thinking about getting this app?If you’re thinking about getting this and are looking at the reviews to see what the people say (as I often do) then you’ll want to read this: This app has a subscription that you have to pay to get all the lessons. It will teach you: how to tune your guitar, everything you need to know about frets, and the Em chord. Afterwards you need to pay a premium subscription for any more lessons. This is not me complaining about this as it makes perfect sense, I’m just informing anyone who was thinking about downloading the app about it so they know about it. I myself will not be paying the subscription because I’m an unemployed teenager with no money to spend and I’d feel bad asking my parents to pay for it. They’d say no anyway. I am rating it four stars because the little bit I could do for free was very useful and pretty entertaining. The videos were informative and humorous, but deep belly laughs level but they made me chuckle. So I bet that the rest of the app is great but, unfortunately, I will not get to experience it. Cool app, if u have the money or are willing to pay the subscription I fully recommend it 👍.Version: 3.7

ScamFirst it is a good app at first but then when I had to play an open first string I had to play first Fret first string and if I had to play first string first fret I have to play first string second fret and it goes on and on you get what I mean right if this happened to you reply to this and say “same” or if different but a bit same say “same but different a bit”, sigh hopefully this changes, what I’m trying to say is DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP!!!!!!!.Version: 6.13

The app is great, but expensive!I worked my way through the first few basic lessons, and I think the app is amazing! However, after those first few lessons, it asked me to subscribe to continue. $100 annually might not seem like a lot to some people, but I, still in the process of getting my first part-time job, unfortunately don’t have that kind of money of my own to spend on an app. So if you’re like me, a broke high school student who took up guitar out of boredom, maybe give this one a miss until you can afford it. The app is great, but the price is just a deterrent for me in my personal circumstances..Version: 1.4

I like it but please helpIt’s really hard and I don’t know how to do it because I don’t have headphones or AirPods so this is why it’s hard for me because I’m only sevenIt’s just really hard and if you could help me because I’m on the one which you go you try to copy it and it’s not working so please please let it work because I just downloaded it.Version: 7.7

Good AppI really like the app, I think it’s helpful and would definitely teach someone who has never touched a guitar learn how to play. My only thing is, I wish it would at least let you finish the first basic lesson before making you pay. I understand why you need to pay for this because it is a quality app. However, I feel like if I can’t even finish that lesson before having to pay, it’s not worth downloading unless you plan to pay. It makes complete sense to pay for everything after that lesson, but since you can’t finish it at all there’s no real reason to start it without a membership. I’m considering getting the membership eventually, but If you are looking for something free I’d consider looking at different options. It does seem like a really great app to learn on though, so take the review as you will..Version: 6.12

Good, but a couple sad problemsThe app is good overall, I figured I’d give this a try to play my sisters guitar. Just got to the last part in the first course and now I have to a pay a subscription to play the rest? I get that it’s a really really nice app and can’t just have anyone try it without something to pay for, but I mean, I was really excited to play this guitar and learn everything about it and such but I can’t. It kinda makes you realize that “Play any song straight away!” Is kinda a scam? Because some people aren’t going to pay just to learn through a guitar app that from what I have seen through a couple others reviews, is kinda buggy. I mean, taking in the fact that the app can’t really recognize the right tune on a guitar, I had to retune my whole guitar twice just to get it “right”. I was very disappointed when I saw the subscription menu to almost anything I touched. I can’t even use the rest of the app because of the subscription..Version: 6.20

Great app enjoying the experienceI have to say this app has been amazing during lockdown I have had loads of spare time and this has been the experience to do things I’ve always wanted to, the app is great with the instant feedback and the easy to follow lessons, I have just hit the hurdle where I have mastered all the available paid lessons and am waiting for the new lessons to become available do you know when these will be published to the app as I would like to feel like I can continue to progress without having to wait for the new content to launch, All in all a great app and as long as the acoustics in the room are decent not to much background noise it’s an amazing app to learn with.Version: 1.1.0

Perfect for the guitar novice!Nice and easy introduction to the acoustic guitar to start with and slowly picks up the pace to keep you learning/interested. Chords are quite sore on the fingers when learning at first so there’s some TAB songs to play along to that will keep you going as you progress! I would highly recommend this app for the beginner as it makes learning the guitar quite easy at first and enjoyable. Average price to pay for the subscription but if you want to learn the guitar from scratch at a good pace with enjoyable video tutorials then it’s a price worth paying!.Version: 2.5

Full access problemI love SimplyGuitar it is amazing but the problem is 1 I can’t change my type of guitar when I got the app I chose electric because I had an electric guitar but when I wanted to use my dads acoustic I couldn’t switch my type of guitar I am not sure if I don’t know how or if i can’t please fix this and also this needs a 1 month subscription because what if after a month I don’t want to use the app I won’t my money back please fix this I want to rate this 5 stars..Version: 2.6

Good but there needs to be a change in the songs.I am not here to write about how the song selection is bad I am here to talk about how you play them. First the songs for tabs are way to easy you have to advance super far to get to the hard ones. So it is easy or it is way to hard. Also the easy songs when you play the tabs it does not really sound like the song. If I were to turn off the music and asked someone what song I am playing and they say oh that’s twinkle twinkle little star and I am like nope thats somebody that I used to know… so while the app is really good and it helping me a ton and with out the app I don’t think I could learn guitar. I feel like some of the songs need to actually sound like the song I am more talking about the easy to hard songs. Also add some songs that are not over played or 2000’s songs or just rock. Add some new good sounding stuff. Dirty head, Harry Styles NOT watermelon sugar..Version: 7.3

This is lifeThis is life because my brother is annoying me. So it’s annoying life.Version: 7.0

If you’re trying to learn how to play, I guarantee you this app will definitely help you get there.I have been trying to learn how to play for years. I tried you tube, other learn-how-to-play guitar apps, and even have some players teach me. But I still couldn’t. It was not until I stumbled across this app and voilaaa! Less than a month, I can now play (not that good tho, but at least Im getting there 😁). Overall this app is just AMAZING and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn to play guitar..Version: 3.3

I love to app as well but need help too!I have tried everything to learn the guitar but I just couldn’t get passed my E,Em and Am cords! When I heard about SimplyPiano and what it did for my friends I wished that I had one for my guitar. When I saw an ad for SimplyGuitar I downloaded it immediately. I was so happy that I could play for more than ten minutes a day and that it would actually listen to me. When I got to the E cord I was excited to finally get passed the E,Em and Am cords for the first time in years, but every time I played the E it would say I was wrong when I knew I was right because that was one of the few cords I could actually play! To be honest I was kinda frustrated with myself and thought it was something I was doing wrong or I was tone deaf. I decided to go back to my other app and play E. It said I did it perfectly. I love this app and I want to continue to use it but I can’t if I can’t get passed this lesson. Other than this detail I believe this app is amazing and is the best way of learning guitar that I have tried. You really have ability to change the game for so many more people than than the people that reach out to you. You guys are really amazing at what you do and I can’t wait for you to make more apps in the future..Version: 1.0.5

Y’all are liars this app if greatSo I knew I was getting a guitar so I need an app or something to learn how and I saw this and so like a smart person I read the reviews first then download. I saw that people were complaining about the subscription ( nothing in life is free, get over it) and I also saw people saying that the app couldn't hear them play, people are so quick to judge on an app like what if it’s your device that has the problem because I tried this on my iPhone and my iPad and the app seem to hear me just fine on both of my devices. All I have to do it purchase my subscription and that’s it, which I can afford if you can’t afford a subscription then maybe you shouldn’t have bought a guitar in the first place. So far it’s great app I have nothing to complain about just people need to make smarter decisions when purchasing apps look at the reviews before you purchase something thank you.Version: 6.0

Great! BUT…This is a great app for beginners. I purchased the premium membership through a Christmas promotion and was using it consistently. I would have given it 5 stars but there are still improvements needed. For some strange reason the app has issues recognizing the 6th string and sometimes the 5th string. I have tried to trouble shoot per the directions in the app but the issue still persists. This issue makes it incredibly difficult/ pretty impossible to progress through the lessons. I am left rapidly/ frustratingly strumming the 6th string in hopes that it will be picked up by the app. I paid for the year subscription and its sad to think I may have wasted my money if I can’t progress through the lessons. Other than that the app has great potential and I can see if being the top app for guitar lessons. I just wish these issues would be addressed. On another note. I would love to see some progress report on the user profile. Perhaps a calendar to show how many days / total time practiced. It would be nice to see..Version: 6.4

It so helpfulI lov you this app.Version: 3.1

Simply Amazing.So I just want to say that this has taught me so so much. I bought the year unlimited access. So much more worth paying 160 for a year of practice (on your terms in your living room.) than paying that or more for one lesion in person. To the people saying they need to fix the mic bc it doesn’t pick up. I had the same problem. However, this is why they tell you to use headphones. So the mic picks up better. You are using a phone. Keep that in mind. Well, I plugged my amp in and out the phone on top of it and have had zero problems since. I suggest this. Pick a little guy up for 40 or 50 bucks. The amp won’t be too loud but your guitar will sound better and the app will pick it up perfectly. I would suggest this app to everyone. Also if you buy it you can add different profiles so others can learn too. Superb app guys. I can’t thank you enough..Version: 7.1

SimplyGuitarThis app is simply genius. It can keep you motivated, really really helps you to learn the Guitar and just to carry on playing. One quick thing though; This app lowkey deserves 5 stars. A lot of the reviews below 2 stars aren’t actually to do with the app, just peoples opinions from looking at the cover and not actually trying it - or unwilling to spend £7 a month. Trust me when I say it’s worth the fee and considering how good this app is and how well made it is, it’s worth a lot more. SimplyGuitar uses your fav songs, becomes increasingly fun throughout the app, very easy to use, 100% correct and all the instructions are very clear. There is no way you can get confused. Have you ever wondered why so many people say they want to play the guitar? But never do? It’s because they can’t find the motivation, inspiration and joyfulness that this app brings to learning how to play it, they just presume and think it’s really complicated, hard to play and a waist of time. They are absolutely wrong in every one of those ways, this is proved simply by actually playing on the SimplyGuitar app, not giving up on it, and doing everything is recommends and says. This app should be 5 stars for sure, thanks for bringing and just creating this app, it’s worth it..Version: 1.3

Lovely appSimply guitar is a great app and so helpful I only started 30 minutes ago and I can already play 2 songs!.Version: 7.1

About the AppHi there! Here’s what I think and some facts about it: The prices for this app well, if you get the app SimplyPiano and purchase a one year subscription it includes this, so it’s actually not too bad as you can access both of those apps with all premium features! The courses and beginner courses are great, you can learn the basics and also tune it with the app Yep, it’s perfect for all ages and has a wide variety of activities which is in my opinion, a great feature. The songs options and chords and all that is a great thing if you get premium, but I’d recommend getting a subscription on SimplyPiano or (I think) in this app too will give you access to both apps with the premium features which means you don’t have to pay twice, just log in with the same account you made the purchase on and you’re all set! A great app and I’d definitely recommend checking SimplyPiano as well, even if you don’t think it’s for you. An issue would probably be the tuning part… I don’t want to tune it before I start because it was already tuned but didn’t recognize anything at all! It’s a MUST step, so I was very disappointed to find it didn’t work well, and for 179 dollars a year isn’t the worst because you can access both SimplyPiano and SimplyGuitar! ==========================================.Version: 6.16

Better than decent - by farI mean a decent 4 star guitar app would have said the a song that I had played perfectly had a few mistakes, but with this app, it knew exactly that I had done it correctly! I made a mistake on purpose (very subtle) and it noticed. I was far away from it with a bad microphone, it knew. I have learned heaps of new songs with this app!.Version: 7.11

First lessonI didn’t think I could have so much fun with just one front and using the frets amazing to add Knocking of heavens door ant the place of that one trying in the song - excellent - very much baby steps.Version: 2.6

I really like this appI love this app. One hour of practice and I learned 4 new chords and more about finger positioning. I think it is very good and will probably pay the 9.99 a month when my free trial is done. My one problem is that it does not include the question “are you using a pick or your fingers” at the beginning. I think that would be fine for someone who has never even picked up a guitar or has never really done anything with a guitar but I did guitar lessons for about a year but than two years ago I moved and stop playing. However in the year where I actually did do guitar I learned to use a pick. I only ever use a pick and it would be really helpful if I could have had the option to say that I only use a pick so I can get tricks for how to position a pick instead of my thumb. But other than that I think this is a great app especially for anybody who is brand new to guitar or has not played in a while..Version: 5.4

ExcitedI’m really getting it thanks.Version: 6.4

Great app - not enough content to warrant costThis truly a great app. I found it whilst learning from Simply Piano (which is amazing) and thought it was definitely worth a go. I bought this app on a one month subscription after being impressed with the software and guitar recognition. My problem was that I soared through the content within a week! And given the expensive monthly cost, found my self disappointed about the lack of content on the app to complete. I appreciate the developers need time to add the content to the app, but given that this app is in the early stages, the cost needs to come down considerably to be in line with the current content. My recommendation to other users would be to hold off on purchasing the app and allow the developers to publish content that won’t leave you disappointed with value for your money..Version: 1.3

Amazing BUT!I download the app tune my guitar and started to do my first lesson and I did great it was absolutely amazing and I actually learned lots of stuff really easily. So then I went to do the last bit of my lesson and of course right before I was going to play a choir in a song they hit me with the subscription fees! I look at the prices and it was outrageous or was it? You will really learn lots of stuff and do really well but I just didn’t have the money to pay the subscription in my opinion the subscription is just way too much but you should definitely download it and try the first lesson to see how much you learned and what the fees areBecause if you have the money this is the best app for learning the guitar but for me I just can’t pay that much just so I can learn the guitar. The fees where like $169 a year or for 3 months $79.Version: 6.12

Good but to expensiveOverall the app is a great way to learn guitar BUT after the first few lessons you have to pay like $100-$200 dollars. Please make it free to learn guitar with such a great app!!.Version: 4.7

Great app but expensiveDon’t get me wrong this is a great app but after your first course it won’t let you move on unless you edger a membership so if your like me half way through grade six Maybe give this one a miss like today I just finished my course and I can’t move on because I can’t get a membership so maybe take away memberships for younger users of the app and make everything free because for people how want to learn guitar this is a great app but people don’t have that type of money to spend on a app. I hope you consider the younger users on this app and take away memberships and things you need to pay for. It’s an amazing app tho 💜.Version: 4.3

AwsomeI’m really enjoying it but I really hope I don’t have to pay for a premium. And I found the funny bit at the start really hooks you in. All in all I love the app and can’t wait to keep learning on it..Version: 3.0.1

FeedbackSimply guitar AND piano is so amazing but I suggest you make apps for all the instruments that you know how to play like flute, drums and harmonica..Version: 6.13

This app is the best guitar app I have ever used although very pricy.I absolutely love this guitar app and I think it teaches you amazingly on how to play guitar with very simple steps and amazing videos. That is although until you have to pay for a subscription which is very expensive. I understand the company needs money but the price may need to be put down a bit. Besides from that awesome app, best I have ever used or experienced and it teaches you so fast!.Version: 4.3

Love this I love guitar so much nowSimply guitar this is awesome keep up the good work.Version: 8.0.1

Not so greatI saw this ad about this app and for Christmas I got a guitar!, it’s hard when your a beginner and you have to learn tunes it should take some time, but it took me LITERALLY LIKE 50 minutes on some app that doesn’t get the tunes I don’t think this app is worth it, I’m starting to think something happened to my guitar or it’s your app, I don’t have anything against it it’s friendly and everything just takes a very long time on the “learning tunes part”! This app still is pretty good I’m gonna keep it and try this everyday!, Would recommend this app?yes I would but if your just inpatient and wanna learn it in a day you have to learn that it takes time you can’t actually learn it in a day, well that’s all!, good day!.Version: 3.0.1

Best app everPut down sub way surer and buy a guitar cause this app is the best. I really like how it’s designed and well thought through with the different steps and courses.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻.Version: 7.0

Pretty expensiveNow a company has to get money so of course there are stuff to pay for. Joytunes had made 2 games or whatever you would like to call it, simply piano and simply guitar. My advice is to make the apps more cheaper so then with both apps you would make more people who then would be able to afford can use the apps so more people using an app they is cheaper = more money. I’m not saying you should exaggerate it and make the subscription like $50 maybe make both apps $120 for the subscription or make it so you have more options like $10 a month or $60 every June so it’s half of the year so it’s half the price because young kids may use this and parents might pay for the app and doing the more options thing might be more efficient because then they get paid and can afforded it. I hope this helps. Yours sincerely, Ghassan..Version: 3.8.1

Happy so farI decided fairly quickly to give this app a go above others to aid me in finally learning to play guitar and I’m so happy I did. I was immediately draw in: it is fun, helpful, challenging but no so much so that I want to give up. I’ve been playing for a few weeks now and just got to the D chord section. I love that with almost every lesson you get a song or two to practice either a chord or strumming pattern or what have you. It has a feature where it listens to you play and offers correction and here lies the flaw: it often seems to be incorrect in its detection of whether you’re playing a chord correctly or not. This can be amazingly frustrating. But as you see I’m still giving this app 5 stars as this isn’t a deterrent for me. Other people have mentioned the cost and no it’s not cheap! I splurged on this app because I think it’ll be worth it. My gf has played guitar for years and years and she’s impressed with this app and the progress I’ve made. I even asked if she thinks I should add in person lessons at some point and she said the app seems adequate! I don’t know how many more lessons are left but I’m hoping to learn as much as I can and so far, the cost of the app is cheaper than real guitar lessons and I’m very happy and having fun as I go. Recommended..Version: 3.9

Hi! I love this, but I’m irritated of one thing…This is my FIRST review ever. I never thought I’d care enough to make a review, but here I am! I absolutely love(d) this app ❤️ but I’m stuck on ONE level for the past weeks or so… I’ve been playing it for DAYS, but any mistake I make, it unnecessary sends me back all the way to the beginning. When I need to play a few more notes, ONE mistake, and it sends me back 5+ notes than I need to. I’m not sure if it’s me, but I’ve been trying to get past this for so long. I eventually quit for a while, and decided to try it again, hoping it will get better, but it unfortunately didn’t. Plus, even though I’m exactly placing my fingers right, every single note is wrong. I tune it more, and it’s still wrong ;-; anyway, besides from that, I’ve been ADDICTED to this app honestly, but ever since that level I’ve been hesitating on touching my guitar again. This app deserves a lot of stars though, but I really hate when it happens, I LOVE and dislike you Simply Guitar!~.Version: 4.7

Review On the microphone and stuffI don’t know if it’s just something wrong with my device but the microphone is working horribly, although people might think why I gave it such a high star if it’s bad well... It teaches really well, I recommend it for you, but if your microphone doesn’t work well, well I suggest we just keep on trying. Overall the learning app is awesome! (But my SCORE for it is not very high just because of the microphone part of it.).Version: 3.1

HiI got this app today and i was pretty stoked for learning a new skill but in no way on god green earth was i going to ask my parents for 200 dollars for an app, amazing but pretty pricey for people going for a bugdet instrument learning app ^^.Version: 8.0.3

Great Customer Service!I needed to cancel my subscription so I wasn’t being charged. I went to the help sign and a person helped me cancel my subscription. Took two minutes to figure out and then was done. Thank you for putting so much time and effort into customer service!! I only had to wait about 20 seconds between each message. Thank you.Version: 8.0.1

Simply guitarI love love love this app but I finished the first few steps and went to go play the song but I had to get premium to do so. I really wish I didn’t have to pay for it because the app is useless without purchasing premium. I hope you could change that..Version: 4.6.1

Love it!I love this app! Congrats! Although it is expensive, I think it is definitely worth it. The songs are good and it easy to use and learn with. However, there is one problem. The app has trouble picking up certain notes, such as ‘open’ and Em7. I have to spend a few minutes tweaking my amplifier until it registers the notes correctly. Other than that, pure awesomeness!.Version: 4.1

Makes Learning the Guitar Fun and EasyI’ve only started playing the guitar a week ago, and I’m amazed at how quickly I’m learning the basics with this app. The app does a good job at gamifying lessons so even when it’s difficult to learn new chords and songs, it becomes addicting to keep trying. We’ll see how what this app has to offer as I get more experienced, but already it’s a night and day difference between where I was at when I started a week ago and what I can do now. I can play basic chords with barely having to look at my guitar as I’m quickly developing muscle memory. If you’ve been interested in learning to play the guitar but have been worried that you’ll get easily dissuaded by it’s difficulty, then I highly recommend starting with this app to give you the motivation you need..Version: 7.1

Good App, Needs improvementI really like this app, but there are a few things that are very annoying, first off when you start playing it asks if you want to join a premium membership or whatever and it seems like it’s one of those memberships you can be fine without it. But later on in the first course you have to get the membership to even continue playing, I find it really annoying that it tells you that you don’t need the membership then it turns out you do need it. I just find this really weird and aggravating. Like if you’re going to charge me just charge me, don’t mask it until I’m far into the course, it makes you want to buy the subscription because you want to finish the course. Anyway, my only other problem is that it rarely if ever registers my 5th and 6th strings when I play them and it can get really frustrating. But, despite those problems it isn’t a bad app, I learned a lot from it..Version: 7.15

Simply the best I’ve looked at all the other guitar teaching appsSimply guitar is the most amazing app I’ve ever found in my entire life it’s even better than simply piano although I’ve never played some piano but I’ve seen it by my son and I think it’s even better so I’ll just have to wait and see until I try both but I’m not sure if I try both so it’s a C but seriously folks SimplyGuitar is our family favourite happy 2021 and here’s to rock ‘n’ roll.Version: 3.0.1

Not enough content but what is there is good for beginners.There remain issues with sound detection, especially the 1st string and the fact it will credit you notes even if you didn’t play them. It is a good app for just starting out and works best with headphones. While subscription for a year looks like a good deal, it is very likely you can finish all or most of the lessons within a month or two though that would depend on how much time you give it. The lessons are well done but can be very slow on tempo for certain things that are pretty easy. It is less expensive than in person lessons and you can do them within your allotted time. As a player of a few months I did learn some things and felt the trial was worthwhile but ultimately didn’t subscribe as I was able to finish half of the content within the week and so did not see the value in paying for multiple months on something I will finish in a few weeks..Version: 6.15

Great to practice butSo I saw the advert and I thought it was cringe with the it’s not an add but it is. And I saw my guitar and was like. I might practise with this app. So I tuned up all the stuff and did everything. Then I got onto the frets. And I was using my fingers and I wouldn’t register to go through even though my phone was right next to the string. But when I tune them up. The app can hear that but can’t hear me actually playing. But I can’t really press hard on the string otherwise it will break since I’ve had it for ages but idk. Please update the sound system and the app in general otherwise there is no point in using it because I can’t hear through my headphones so yea update the app please.Version: 4.7

Won’t catch any fretsI just downloaded this after buying my first guitar. Everything was going great until I got 10 minutes in & started learning the frets. Every time I play the fret properly without a muted note it never catches the note being played but if I put my finger fully covering the bar it catches the tone - when it’s completely muted. I’ve tried it with & without headphones. It’s not working for me whatsoever. I’m no musician but I know the note is NOT suppose to sound like that. Even if I talk or make another noise it’ll give me the green light as if I played the note. Or when I mute the note it gives me the green light. But if I actually play the note properly it gives me a red light and forces me to go back to the beginning of the first fret practice. Can’t get past the first 10 minutes of this app. Highly disappointed ☹️.Version: 7.0

Microphone issuesI don’t think this app is accessing the microphone properly on my IPad. The tuner doesn’t work and I get notes accepted during the lesson when it is dead silent and I never touch a string. I think the app would be great if the could fix this issue.Version: 1.0.3

I’m a BeginnerIn Loving Memory I inherited my first and only guitar from Peter John Paul Harrington I would like to learn to play House of the rising sun I was able to tune the guitar myself in the first lesson I have faith this app will help me to become more than I imagine I was able to follow easily without getting confused/ not understanding I would recommend this to anyone who would like to learn guitar / young or old.Version: 7.11

Fabulous appI’m loving this app, have always wanted to learn the guitar and this really makes it easy, easy to understand and learn, highly recommend.Version: 6.20

I like this appI like this app but the only wrong thing about this app is that every time I try to play the #6 string it won’t listen, even though I put it near the iPad, it won’t work.Version: 2.1

Good butI was really liking it but then realized that I would have to pay money for the next lesson my parents don’t have much money and I don’t want to bug them for stuff so I am going to try to learn on my own I do think it’s a good app if you have the money for it I would definitely recommend.Version: 1.2

I can’t believe I ignored the guitar app for 2 weeks looking for a guitar lesson!😃🙁☠️💀Oh my.Version: 1.6.1

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G but just one problemI was able to play notes and it’s much easier the lessons are great! Highly recommend, but paying is really expensive get me. That’s really expensive just learning guitar for lessons, Lessons fine Songs and chords? Not fine SimplyGuitar is great and all but you should make it free songs and chords are not really valuable as lessons U have great teachers I get that..Version: 7.2

It’s an amazing app! But if you have the money sadlyMy father got me the subscription so I don’t have to worry. The app is amazing! My first lesson taught me better then a year of actually guitar lessons. With actually guitar lessons. I didn’t understand much everything was going too fast. But with simply guitar it kind of reviews things and goes back to jog your memory (kind of). But it’s very sad that you have to pay. It’s very expensive for even 3 months! Like I said I did get the subscription and I don’t have to complain but there are people who cannot afford it. Maybe what you can do is if they don’t want to pay. They don’t have to. BUT like it most apps they don’t have access to most songs. And in order to access them they have to pay subscription? Doing it this way is better than not letting the people who cannot afford, play at all. Other then that, I HIGHLY recommend this app especially if you only have little experience. Knowing a bit before getting started with this app is actually helpful. Sincerely, Just a 10 year old..Version: 4.4.1

I have no idea but it workI never know how to play guitar, my first day I use this program it teach me perfectly how to do things step by step nicely… I use may other application but can’t beat this one for sure ..Version: 5.4

Absolutely fantasticA truly fantastic app for beginners. I am a piano teacher and decided to teach myself guitar to pass the time in lockdown! The steady build up, repetition, playing individual strings, then adding frets and simple chords is perfect. But my favourite bit is the ‘guitar hero’ style play-alongs. It’s really rewarding for beginners to hear what they are playing in the context of modern and classic songs - even if you’re only playing a few frets on one string, learning to play in time and listening to the overall song all together is really motivating. Plus, love the guy on the videos! Very funny, not patronising, kind and good at explaining everything. Can’t fault it, sometimes the app picks up the ringing of a previous chord and thinks you’ve played the next chord - I overcome that by muting each chord I play. I have an iPhone 6 and find it hears what I play very well..Version: 1.0.7

Simply Guitar Has Already Given Me An Idea Of How To Play!Hi, I have used Simply Guitar before but I didn’t really use it much. Now, I am using it and I don’t know much about the guitar, in fact, I hardly know anything about it! I’m just getting the hang of tuning the strings, really😅. Simply Guitar is already helping. I have already played one or two, maybe three simple tunes and it’s fun! Thanks a lot! I recommend Simply Guitar to anyone who’s interested in the guitar and wants to get somewhere. 🙂.Version: 4.0

I like you but it’s one thing I wish It had thisI love simply guitar talk to really get up I highly recommend it I’m just one thing I wish I had ukulele lessons only because it says you have to have six strings I only have for him so I was really hoping if I can get some help on that but overall it’s a really good app if you are new to guitar if you’re kind a like a Vance we just want a little bit more help either way SimplyGuitar it’s really good highly recommend it to anyone but that’s just the thing is like it requires six but I don’t reallyHave a guitar that has six strings all I have is for him so I was really hoping if they could make lessons for that and if they do please show me where all because I really need to understand where it is because I really need help on that and I’m really trying to learn how to play I’m over it really good app really good app have a nice day.Version: 7.1

Very good!!I see some reviews saying that the app doesn’t pick up the correct sounds but for me it works perfectly. I’m using it on the iPad Pro. If i pluck the wrong string then it tells me it’s wrong. It really works so good. The only problem is i bought a year’s subscription and I’ve only been practicing for 40 minutes a day and I’ve almost finished the ‘lead’ course after 4 weeks. Maybe after 1 more week i will be finished. There is a new section called ‘soloist 3’ saying coming soon. Any idea when that will be available? I have no idea. In my experience coming soon sometimes means never in apps. Depending on the success of the app. Thanks.Version: 3.1

Great App !!I love this app ! I tried to learn years ago with a one on one tutor and just wasn’t picking it up. Tried again using this app and I have only been using it for about a month or so, but I feel like I have learnt more using this then I ever did with a tutor. You want to pick up your guitar everyday with this and after only using it for a short while I can feel myself improving. It’s just brilliant. I have already recommended this to a friend who has also downloaded it and started to learn again, she loves it !.Version: 3.1

So good I had to write a reviewThis app is pretty darn cool. I’ve been playing it for a couple of weeks and I find myself looking forward to the lessons. It doesn’t feel like a chore. My wife told me that when I started everything I played sounded like noise, but now she can start getting coherent music. One great feature I appreciate is that the classes build on each other. You’ll learn the e chord but then you will be using that e chord moving forward in all future lessons. This has helped me cement the chord in my mind. Way better than teaching everything separately. Great app. I highly recommend it. Only thing I can’t seem to figure out is how they release lessons. I noticed a lot of “coming soon” lessons. I don’t know if it’s regularly updated or not and there is not really any communication about that. But I haven’t made it that far anyway so it’s irrelevant at the moment.Version: 4.7

A great appI have always wanted to learn how to play guitar but I’ve never been able to learn properly before I started using SimplyGuitar I only knew one cord and my friend introduced me to this app and ever since then I’ve been using this app for ages it’s really helped me learn guitar and it’s really fun and it makes learning guitar a lot more interesting turns out my guitar isn’t even a proper one and my dad said if I was able to learn a song he would get me a proper one and this is really helped me and my new guitar is on its way thank you so much I would recommend this app to everyone that wants to learn guitar it’s the best app I’ve had on my phone for awhile.Version: 3.0.1

It’s goodI loved the app at first, but then after the first few lessons it asked for a subscription, and it’s actually quite a bit. Sure for some people it isn’t, but it’s annoying that with every amazing app you need a subscription just to do literally anything else. Other than that, it sometimes needs to be a little clearer, but I still get what it’s telling me to do. So overall it’s a good app I guess. Just the subscription really gets on my nerves.Version: 4.4.1

Worst app ever😡😡Today when I used to play guitar I got to the second guitar basics and when I got to the song I did all the right cords and it said I did it wrong🤬🤬🤬.Version: 5.1

Can’t Praise This Too Highly!!This guitar learning app is simply amazing. I am 62 years old and re-learning to play after a 36 year break! I remember nothing. It’s like I have never played before. This app is actually fun. A very Small learning curve to get started. I am 62 not 42. 😎 but a highly responsive support team had me up and going in a very short time.(minutes) It actually has me giggling inside when after learning One simple chord it has us “jamming” along with a pre-recorded song. What a hoot!! I can see this being very motivating to kids and teenagers too but it’s fun also for senior citizens (me) Every time I do something right the app makes a fun sound and gives me a check. I’d play for hours if my fingers did not start hurting. Speaking of that…once I did not practice for several days (over my hurt fingers) and someone reached out to me to ask what was up??!!! Amazing!! I explained I am waiting to switch to nylon strings…..but in the meantime it got me to pick up and at least do 5 minutes per day…..until I get my new strings. I am only motivated to learn to play chords to a rhythm so I have a portable instrument to sing to. I play piano but it’s not very portable….even a “portable” one. 😎. Guitar is perfect for such portability. I feel confident with this learning app I’ll be able to learn to play to at least an advanced beginner level…which is my goal. Very Well Thought Out! Kudos!!.Version: 5.1

AmazingSimply guitar is amazing!!!!! I just started and I already unlocked my song library and I am learning so much about guitar!!!!.Version: 5.2

One complaintHello, before I write this review i need you to know I know how to play over five instruments, all without using a simply app. And I already have a complaint about this app. When I first got the app it was amazing, I loved how they immediately taught me how to play chords, however I didn’t love the fact they rushed me into songs with little to know information. It was just 6 minutes ago I got frustrated with “Can’t help falling in love with you” because they rushed me into the song, I felt like they didn’t teach me enough about actually being able to have my fingers run through the strings and the chords faster. They had me play them but they didn’t have me play them faster or how to transition quickly. I wish they would add a quick unit before they rush you into these songs so they know you can play the chords and strings up to beat with the song. The least they could have done is given me a metronome. Other then that this app does teach pretty well and in an interesting way, but all I need is for it to slow its roll because some people are slow learners and need to take it steady..Version: 7.16

Cours de guitareFabuleux, c’est vraiment, génial j’adore ,,,😊 Bravo ….🤩👍😉.Version: 8.0.1

GreatThis app is really useful. I had few guitar lessons before I started to use SimplyGuitar so I knew a few of the basics. I bought a guitar so I could practice at home with SimplyGuitar and it is so easy and personally I think it is one of the best guitar apps I have tried. In all of the ads the people learn so many songs in such a short period of time which I can relate to. But to play songs you have to have premium. I would suggest the developers have at least a few songs that you can play for free. The app teaches you all the basics like tuning, chords, tabs, the notes and more stuff..Version: 6.2

Well made, unavoidable flawsThis app is really well made. If you’ve read other reviews, you hear a lot about the app not reading cords correctly. While it’s true, sometimes it’s reading is off, it’s mainly because of the reverb. Your phone hears all the reverb after the note you play, and can read it as wrong. So it can be minimized by playing concise notes, and keeping your phone really close to your guitar. But this app is really well built, with well thought through courses and easy to understand videos. It makes learning interesting and let’s you enjoy the guitar even when you’re a beginner. Would highly recommend. (The only request I have for the app makers is the tuner. I had to get my own tuner because the one in the app glitched around a lot. One minute it would read the string as tuned and the next it would say it’s too high/too low. Not a big problem as it’s not too difficult to find a good tuner, but just for feedback if you want to improve the app).Version: 6.11

To much moneySome song should be free and other you have to pay for not pay for every song.Version: 8.0.3

Not badI am a girl and I am 8 I cannot pay u guys I got an ukulele I don’t have 5 or 6 SimplyGuitar says I have to do it I have to 5 or 6 but can’t soo.......... what do I do? Please send me an message. I might have to delete SimplyGuitar....... sorry I might have to.................I won’t delete if u give me all my fav songs and I can’t pay soo deal? U have to say deal.Version: 5.5

AddictiveI’ve played 5 straight weeks in a row at least 5 times a week. It’s addictive and I can only put that down to how easy it is to follow the lessons. I am Improving and really enjoying it, alternating between chords and tabs, to the point my fingers are in absolute bits but I still can’t stop playing. It’s not perfect sometimes it says I’ve played a cord correctly when I know I’ve done it wrong But for the most part it works well, It wasn’t registering notes then I realised the phone needs to be closer to the guitar and ideally the side of the guitar strings. This sorted the issues I was having immediately. My only gripe is that it took the money up front when I thought I could pay monthly, that aside I am now committed to a year and am excited to see how I can play in a years time..Version: 7.11

Really good but…It’s a really good app to learn how to play your guitar, I’m on my first lessons and already enjoying it! The only problem is the premium. You need it to learn your favourite songs from what level I am on. I find that annoying as some people really want to learn their favourite songs but they can’t afford the premium (like me). I understand that’s how it makes the money but I think it’s a bit pricey. Other than that it’s a really good app to learn guitar like I said in the beginning. I’ve already learnt so much more than a YouTuber was trying to teach me. I love it. Finally I can learn to play guitar without watching 30 videos to understand what 1 video is trying to teach me..Version: 7.6

Very easy to follow the guidelines and feel successful to achieve one step by stepVery easy to follow the guidelines and feel successful to achieve one step by step.Version: 8.0.1

AceI’ve been following internet tutorials on and off for a couple of years, so I wasn’t a complete beginner coming to this. I was however struggling to feel like a guitarist. Strumming along only gets you so far. So anyway, I tried this app and I was instantly hooked. The mix of chord and lead training is great for me. No matter how basic, it gets you playing along with some great tracks almost immediately, and I keep getting to a point where I think I’ll just complete this song and give it a rest, but then along comes the promise of playing something else great and suddenly I’m doing another half hour. I love it. Update: in song mode it would be great if you could scroll back a few bars rather than having to go back to the start.Version: 5.0

Great app but the microphone can’t pick up my open notes.So generally this is an amazing app and it can teach you how to learn guitar basics in two weeks or less depends how good a learner you are. That’s not the problem here, however multiple times when I have played an open note and very occasionally on chords the app will not pick up what I have played. This is very frustrating because it will send me back to the start meaning I cannot get past the level and I will just put my guitar back and give up. It would be amazing if you guys could make the microphone even if it’s just a little bit more sensitive and it would help me a lot. Thank you, I do really recommend this app though!!!.Version: 7.15

Best app to learn the Guitar quicklyOverall this is app is amazing to learn the guitar very quickly. I think one way it could be improved is when you select a song to learn you should be able to slow the song Down by half the speed or a quarter, if there was like a speed dial for each song that would make this app even more legendary because you would be able to speed it up once you have learned it. Also would you be able to add Rage against the machine songs, that would be awesome.Version: 3.12

App can’t distinguish my notes properlyIt might be the fact that I have a tiny guitar for kids—its the size of a ukulele but it has six strings—anyway, during practice the app will think I played two or three or sometimes four notes WONDERFULLY when I only played one, and other times it has a hard time recognizing even one. DISCLAIMER I do have a thin case on the phone, so maybe that’s it, too. Anyway, besides that I love the way the app presents itself, it’s got a good humorous tone and the construction of everything, such as the guitar-hero-scrolling-style is really appropriate. It takes me through the bare basics and even my five-year-old was enjoying her turn at it. I hope to use this app to have some cool bonding with her and maybe even compete with her, as both she (at five years of age) and myself (at 33) are on equal footing with playing this instrument at the moment. Thanks SimplyGuitar!.Version: 6.0

I’ve learnt so much in such a short space of time!This is such a brilliant way to learn! The teaching techniques are excellent! Great use of repetition and great fun! I really look forward to the end of each section so I can play along to real songs! Really really enjoying it so far. The only niggle I have is I subscribed to the app on a monthly basis and I’ve completed as far as I can go, I’m dying to learn more but I’m a little apprehensive whether to keep the subscription going if I can’t get any further. How quickly will the next stages be developed please? One more point to end on a high... My daughter had guitar lessons for 18 months and she’s really impressed at how much i can do already, she can’t do some of the things I’ve picked up from this and I’ve only be leaning a week!.Version: 1.0.8
