The content seems OK, but the app has some major usability issues. First one, the size of the tabs is not great on a phone screen. In practice mode you can zoom in, but then it doesn't auto scroll. In feedback mode there is no zoom option. Another issue with feedback mode is the app seems to pick up my guitar on the mic OK and I get a score, but I can't hear myself playing when playing it back. I have no problem hearing other sounds like the metronome etc.

Scammed by free trial period. Signed up for 14 day free trial. Quickly decided it wasn't for me so cancelled my subscription in the app and emailed customer services asking them to cancel for the belt and braces approach. Received this: "Thank you for your email. I can confirm that the auto-renew option on your account has been cancelled and you won't be charged at the end of the trial period." But charged for 2 months so far and no further responses received to emails. Please sort Fender!

Really does what I need. I had lessons then picked this up to learn electric specific techniques and new songs. It drops a star because when I've completed a lesson I have to manually mark it complete even the it automatically progresses to the next lesson. When you resume it then goes back to a the earliest lesson not marked complete. It's a bit of a faff.
