1. 5/5Has a LARGE issue ( and some people are having the same problem)

   I got a guitar for Christmas, and I was super excited to start learning how to play. Along with the guitar, I downloaded the Yousician app because I heard it was great for beginners. After setting it up, I followed all the instructions and completed the introductory exercises they provided. Everything seemed to be going smoothly, and I was eager to dive into level one. However, once I reached level one, I noticed that almost everything was locked, and I couldn’t access any of the lessons or features. The app told me I needed to subscribe to the premium version to continue. At first, I thought maybe there was just a limit to how long I could use the app each day, so I decided to try again the next day, hoping things would reset or unlock. Unfortunately, when I opened the app the next day, it was the same situation. All the content I needed to progress was locked behind the premium subscription. It was really frustrating because I thought I’d be able to learn at least the basics without having to pay. It felt like the app gave me just enough to get started and excited, but then cut me off unless I signed up for premium. Now I’m left wondering if I should invest in the subscription or look for another way to learn guitar.

2. 3/5Good app for learning guitar

   I’ve been using Yousician for a little over a year and it has helped my playing abilities a lot. The gamification provides motivation beyond what using books and manuals can. The interface is simple and easy to follow. My main complaints are on song selection. When i first signed on with their paid subscription I had access to the entire song library. About 7 or 8 months into my “journey” a lot of songs that I had added to my library and favorited became unavailable without any warning. Upon further investigation I discovered this was because they had introduced a new premium membership level. With several months remaining on my current membership, i was hoping for some kind of prorated upgrade. Nope. The only options were to either forego the remaining months on my current plan and pay for a full year of premium, or ride out my current membership and accept the more limited song library. I chose the latter. Once my normal membership expired I did upgrade thinking that i would once again have full library access. Similar to my original experience, I found some great songs and added them to my favorites, only to find some of them completely removed from the app a few weeks later. As someone trying to learn an instrument, it is extremely frustrating when you are trying to perfect a song only to have it vanish without warning. I will continue to use the app as it is very useful, but the only inconsistency of song selection is very frustrating.

3. 5/5Great Learning System

   I LOVE this app so far. I have tried learning guitar on my own multiple different times and always ended up giving up on it, mostly because I wasn't seeing the results I wanted and also because I just didn't know what to do. This system makes it fun and easy to learn, no matter what skill level you are. I really like that they make it like a game. I grew up playing guitar hero and the song layouts on here are a lot like it, so that makes it really fun as well as beneficial. I also like the skill progressions, as well as the certificates you can download. I personally like to physically see progress, so being able to see how many stars I have on each song, or if I perfected it and got gold stars really helps me to see just how far my skill level is actually progressing. I am saving every certificate each time I go up a skill level and can't wait to put them all together when I finish the program. I would HIGHLY recommend this program; especially as someone who has tried for years to learn the guitar and got very minimal results on my own. Plus it's cheaper than getting guitar lessons from an actual coach. If you are someone who is a visual learner and can coach/critique yourself as you go, this would be a great program for you. I haven't had this much fun learning something new in a very long time. 10/10

4. 5/5I absolutely love this app!

   I have the subscription for the guitar. When I first downloaded the app it had some glitches but since the latest update I don’t have any complaints and even when it glitched (the sound wouldn’t play at times usually if the lesson was stopped due to other activity on my phone) if I exited the app and came back it was fine. I only have praise for Yousician! This app has sooo many different helpful components. From video and lessons to songs and challenges (against other users) to charts and emails that encourage you and track your progress. All the video lessons are extremely easy to comprehend and the layout makes it extremely easy to navigate. It is super addictive!!! There are several times Ive been totally sucked in spending hours glued to the app trying to perfect a lesson to rack up gold stars. I promise you the money is beyond worth it! You cannot beat the convenience of going at your pace practicing at any time for as long as you like! There are 3 sections (knowledge, rhythm, and lead). I have completed knowledge and I’m on the 3rd level of rhythm. I love the progressive levels. Rhythm and lead each have 10 levels and knowledge has 5. The gradual build from one lesson to another is pretty much flawless. I’m definitely going to write a review when I’m finished with all 3 sections. This app is my blessing!

5. 5/5Love it, needs some improvement... 4 1/2 stars

   This app is the best ever! I love its learning experience and how they motivate you. Although this is my favorite app, I’m disappointed for a few reasons. First, the “need headphones” issue almost all other reviews are talking about is a big one. Using headphones really isn’t a big deal! However, if you don’t have any, the app just will NOT work. The fact that it picks up the noise that the app is making itself is a bad issue. Next, the new update. This one is partly my fault, but still. I clicked onto the app to take a lesson, and it told me to update the app. I wanted to do it, and so I tried to, only to discover my storage was full. May I note that I still had 4 1/2 empty GB. Anyway, I got back into the app to take a lesson and clear up space later and I clicked on the X in the corner. It was a fake X. Now I have to clear up lots of storage for 20 minutes (my tablet takes forever to clear fpr some reason), and in the meantime I just cannot take a guitar lesson. These are some issues, and please clear them. This is still one of my fav apps! Sorry for the long review... bye! Edit: The update thing is less of an issue now, however the fact that you can’t use until updating us SUUUUPERR frustrating. Like, can I just learn guitar BEFORE updating?
