Ugly UI, unusable in dark mode
The app can do what it was designed to do, but the UI looks like it was designed 15 years ago and if your device is in dark mode it is unusable. This is the only app I use on my phone or iPad that is broken by dark mode.
Need to make video for bass guitar
I have 3 bass 3 electric guitar 2 acoustic from fretlight and I get confused because the app doesn’t have for bass guitar 🤦♂️
False advertising
Several days ago I got an email saying that songs were free now on guitar tunes. What I actually got was free samples which were always available at no charge. The email implied that the songs were free what happened?
The App has ruined my Fretlight experience
It’s amazing this app has been around as long as it has and still has the glaring issues it does. If it weren’t for these issues the app would be pretty good, but the issues are major. Enough that I wish I would have bought the Fretlight guitar with built in chords and scales and not the Bluetooth one that has to connect to my phone. There are two major issues, the first is that the app isn’t compatible with dark mode on my iPhone. If dark mode is on I can’t access the setting menu or any of the drop down menus for selecting chords and scales, it’s all blacked out and impossible to read. This means that every time I want to use my Fretlight I have to change to light mode and change back when I’m done, trust me, it gets old, especially considering the dark mode for iOS has been around for quite some time now. How has this not been fixed?? The second issue is even worse, if you open the app and connect your guitar and select a scale to practice the phone screen will time out and you have to wake your phone up to continue playing. So the only options are to change your screen time to unlimited while you are using the app or just deal with the issues that come every time the phone screen turns off. Setting it to unlimited every time and then switching it back every time is ridiculous and ruins the experience. Please address these issues so I can enjoy the Fretlight I spent a lot of money on and can’t return at this point.
It said free it was not
It
Does not work on android
Does not work on android. Only ios
Perfect for intermidate and new players.
They cover many tips a teacher does not. Love it.
Should be more like Yousician
There should be an option to see what’s coming up next rather than what you need to play right away. By the time I adjust I already missed the note and I know I can slow it down but that still doesn’t help with anticipation of next notes.
Try guitar tunes it’s nice
Guitar tunes paired with a Fretlight guitar is like having Joe Satriani or Dweezil Zappa sit down with you and teach you notes scales chords plus an endless variety of songs and information to learn and practice note for note
