Latest reviews of Ukulele Fretboard Addict app for iPhone and iPad
I thought there would be more chords but there are none. I cant figure out how they figure this will be so addicting that they have to warn us. Seems a bit misleading. Not cheap at $4.99 either.
I was hoping there were instructions included or tutorial. I just dont understand the app at all. That s why only one star. I cant rate something I cant really try.
I bought this app expecting to learn chords for the ukelele while playing. But I couldnt find the chords, just single notes, and its position in the fretboard. Maybe is that I dont know how it works, but looks pretty basic. If I find where the chords are I will change my review, in the meanwhile, may I have my money back. Thanks.
I received the Ukulele of my dreams and bought this app to help me learn and master chords and read tabs. However, this application does not provide any help with either of the two - which are necessary in the learning process! Perhaps it should be made clear that this app just covers the scales of the fret board or PLEASE ADD A CHORD AND TAB TUTORIAL! In its current state, the app is NOT worth the cost.
This app is great for learning which NOTES your playing on the fretboard. It doesnt claim to provide chord or tab info. There are a lot of apps for those but this is the first one Ive found that has helped me learn what notes Im playing. Every bit as important as learning tabs and chords.
