TrueFire Guitar Lessons

i never use the app

Content is great! App itself is somewhat confusing. Navigation can be challenging, there's no obvious visual affordance for where you are in a set of lessons. "Standard" iOS paradigms seem to be missing. But! Synced video and tab is great, navigation up and down through lesson tab is solid on iPad.

Sometimes the audio continues after I’ve exited a video. I then have to close and reopen the app

Content is great! The app is lacking important video features like showing the time during video playback and easy skip forward or back capability

I cannot play a video and open full screen without the screen turning black or the buttons not working, let alone try opening another app and coming back to TrueFire to resume a video

Everything you want to do on this app costs you money on top of the “privilege” of paying for the base service. Of all the apps and services that are available this is the least truthful about the full cost of ownership and use. If I wanted to pay that much for all the services I’d go directly to a local instructor. I feel extremely mislead and it’s so hard to identify what’s included in the subscription outright. It seems like everything I select has another purchase button. I won’t be giving Truefire another dollar. There are too many competing platforms that don’t nickel and dime me for use. I just wish I didn’t prepay for a year. #robbed.

How do I print the PDFs for the lessons? I’ve wasted enough time on this. Is it a secret?

This app works great for the first video you play. After that, the best performance track either won’t play or it will play the first video again. This has been happening for years through numerous upgrades and is happening on the most recent version as well. I fully deleted the app and reinstalled the latest version and things seemed good for 2-3 videos and then it was back to its old tricks again. Also, your “all access” pass doesn’t give you access to In the Jams, so hopefully you don’t waste your money like I did in an annual pass just to get screwed.

The BEST collection of artist/teachers and lessons on one site. Thank y’all and keep up the good work.

I've been experiencing some issues when playing videos. Sometimes, the screen freezes within the app. I love the courses, but it can be frustrating to have to exit the app and reopen it constantly. This happens on both my iPad Air and iPhone as well, I hope y’all can fix that guys
