The best
An on-screen interface worth practicing
On both phone and pad this is a game changer for me. With midi out I can bring my other sound apps and even Mac VSTs to life. A few things I would change for a paid Pro upgrade: 1 moving chord boxes position on-screen. 2 Adding more chord boxes to the vacant screen real estate on the pad version 3 Keeping only and changing the chords you set up when transposing. Not recording chords when you go to a minor key. 4 Modal support 5 Allowing all the positions of easy chord type 6 String bending and finger vibrato 7 Midi learn for key boxes so you could change chords with a keyboard and strum with the other hand. MPE capability. 8 Watch support to change alternative chord selection
Needs more chords on the palette
Sometimes I feel like playing my guitar at work and these solve the problem!! Just needs more chords on the palette at least 12
Regretted my purchase after 30 seconds.
An expensive toy compared to the other great IOS instruments. No midi in. Sounds are mechanical. Hasn’t been updated in a long time. An average Review point of 4.6 is what got me. Feel bad for supporting this product instead of products from developers who work hard on creating and maintaining their excellent IOS products at the same price.
Awesome

Made me cry 😭
I have spent all of my life wanting to play the thoughts in my head through a guitar, but I could never grasp playing. I have tried so many DAW’s and plugins to mimic guitar sounds through MIDI, but none ever felt right, and now I come across this... When I connected this app to GarageBand and recorded a tune, I cried - not even going to try to act “manly” about it. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU.
