Fender Play: Learn Guitar
authentic ratingThe content and teachers are genuinely strong, adult beginners take to it and start playing fast. But the app fails on the technical side: it crashes on the onboarding questions, feedback mode glitches, audio sometimes drops during practice, and songs are often simplified instead of full versions. Many say that for 150 a year they only get videos and tabs without the live feedback competitors offer.
Reviews are very concrete: people name iPadOS versions, describe a crash on the specific onboarding screen "What path interests you", and complain about simplified song versions and no Focusrite audio interface support. The gap between storeAvg 4.80 and textAvg 3.37 is explained by real technical failures, not empty fives.
