Timbro - Guitar & Piano

The new version released on September 23 is not upto the expectations when you are a paid member of this app. The tabs moves by itself without any sound at all. The sound recognition has gone wrong in this version. Another feature that can be added is to save the progress for a user in any online account. I see that my progress gets reset many a times.

This app is pretty great... You don't have to necessarily pay to get great resources, but a few bucks won't hurt your budget, and no annoying ads once in every 5 mins. It's just a little bit frustrating sometimes when three consecutive notes are coming and you play it but it can't detect. But that might be because of my phone's hardware problem. Anyway, great app. Especially for beginners.

Timbro is a good and only one that implement self-studying to a virtual guitar. Before the recent update, it was well worth a try: Somewhat easy-to-use interface and helpful lessons. It's the time-being though that Timbro has gotten worse such as unecessarily changes to the way we play guitar or the clumsy and hard-to-follow lesson guidance(sometimes I dont even what to do and learn). One last thing, it's not really practical, I guess

It's not perfect, but never before in my life have I practiced piano 67 days in a row, so even if it's "suboptimal" or whatever one might say, it's definitely helping me build good practicing habits.

Once you download this app and start to learn how to play virtual, you're forced to subscribe 10 mins into tutorial intro but unless you pay for the subscription your blatantly forced to purchase just to continue your progress yet forcing me to subscribe without letting me complete all free intro tutorials before offering your subscription plans So in all honesty if i could have left a zero * and will be removing this app, uninstalling it, lastly remove its connection to my account completely

The timing is sometimes bad, visual ok, but there's some hard chords for beginner, and it won't let me go. You can play few minutes a day for free. Overall good.

This piano app is a disaster. It has so many mistakes on the notes transcriptions or in the pictures below that show were the fingers should be. Otherwise it would be one of my favorites. Too bad the creator doesn't care about fixing them. This app could be a hit, instead it's a torture. I mean having a 5 wrote down as 5 and 4 in the same song is tormenting (lesson 3 chapter 13 drill 3 and 4). Struggling to compensate in my mind for the mistakes. And it's not one lesson, it's most of them.

You can literally get all muscle memory you'd need to play actual guitar in this virtual guitar! It's hard to know on what to do in the app as instructions are very basic and won't explain much.. but once you know, it's 5⭐.

This app is the best guitar app I found. And I've tried lots. It gives you a certain amount you can do each day for free and then each day you get more free stuff. Want to knowing thing is that it sometimes doesn't pick up the notes on playing and I know I'm playing them correctly and on time, and it's just very annoying, but otherwise than that it's a really good app for beginners.

This app is great. I've had it for a few months, and everything is going clear. The Virtual Guitar is harder for wider phones, but the app itself is wonderful. But I have a suggestion for the app. Could you make it to where you could upload a music sheet and learn the song? It would be really appreciated.

The concept behind this app is a great idea. Unfortunately, I realized it isn't worth it as free. I did try it a few times with my acoustic guitar. I stopped practicing. While reaching to stop the lesson, I noticed the app was turning notes green or red without me playing a single note. I didn't play during the next lesson & still passed.

so far this is amazing. the only two things I don't like are, one: it only gives you a certain amount of things you can do per day, but it is free and if you don't mind paying you get unlimited each day. and two: it doesn't always pick up on sound but mostly it does (it could also be me accidently pressing the strings too much idk)

This app has helped a bit. The user interface is clean and easy to use. So far only noticing one issue: I can play a note/string correctly AND on time but it will show up as incorrect (tuned up decently as well.) I hope this will be solved soon. But it's a really great app overall, especially when a nice amount of content is available for free. It's enough to get you started.

Very similar to yousician, except I like this app so much better. It doesn't let you move forward until you have perfected what you are playing. Can be frustrating but I needed that discipline because I've been all over the board trying to learn to play. Every day it gets a little easier. Plus the app sends me notifications reminding me too pick up my guitar and practice!

Hit detection is sloppy on guitar, won't always register all the notes I'm playing, and sometimes registers notes I know i'm messing up on, and there's no penalty for hitting strings outside of what it's asking me to. Skill level suddenly went from extremely basic to jumping around with barre chords that I've never seen before. 20 minutes a day for free is way too little. At least make it possible to keep going even if that means putting in ads or something. Can't replace a real teacher, yet.

Very conflicted about this app. Was enjoying the guitar lessons so I bought the paid version to practice more. At first it was great but the deeper into the levels I got the more exercises straight up do not work. Like several later scale lessons will freeze and not detect any input at all. And you can't skip them so it basically breaks the whole flow of the app. Super frustrating. It can also struggle to detect correct inputs on busier songs. Recommend for newbs. Experienced players beware.
