An editorial reading of the saved reviews
The app hooks beginners hard: you play live against your own guitar, levels and competition motivate, and people genuinely progress within a couple of months. But it has been dumbed down for advanced players, cut iconic songs over licensing, and input latency plus lost progress after updates erode trust. Many are annoyed that songs and tabs increasingly sit behind extra charges on top of the subscription.

What users experience
2 excerpts from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.
The app is no longer worth the subscription fee after they got rid of all the great songs they used to have in the library. How to do you call yourself a guitar app when you remove AC/DC, Jimi Hendrix, Metallica, Alice and Chains, Cream, etc from the app?
I have just updated the app and now all the lessons are gone those were the main reason for me paying the subscription
