Fretello Guitar Lessons
authentic ratingStrong concept: live lessons that adapt to your music style, standard tab, feedback while you play, and a developer who actually responds to problems. It falls apart on the core thing, the pitch detection often fails to hear a correctly played note, so you strum the string several times, lose the tempo, and sometimes random noise gets counted as correct. On top of that almost nothing works without a subscription, and some users get stuck in a payment loop at sign-in.
Complaints are very specific and repeat across users: the app fails to hear a played note, you have to strum four or five times, and it counts random noise as a correct answer. TextAvg 2.61 versus the store 4.5, but that gap is honest frustration with the detection, not templated manipulation.
