Ukulele Tuner & Lessons: Kala
authentic ratingFor beginners the app genuinely makes picking up the ukulele from scratch doable, with lots of songs and a Duolingo-style game format that keeps people going. But a big update angered long-time paying users: they removed song search and saved-song lists, and some people cannot open the app at all. A separate pain is that chord detection through the mic and AirPods works only half the time.
Reviews carry vivid specifics: saved songs vanished after the update, AirPods chord detection is glitchy, the tuner only handles G and C. Five-star notes are short but the overall tone is honest, and the textAvg 3.78 vs storeAvg 4.72 gap rests on real post-redesign complaints.
