## Review summary

The app is loved for learning chords and scales, with long-term value and helpful lessons. It offers extra tools (Scale Bank/Uke Bank) and follows a CAGED approach, and updates keep it relevant. The core complaint is the shift to a subscription model that gates features, moves or removes scale and chord tools behind paywalls, and complicates purchasing restoration across devices. The reverse chord lookup is now paid, and many users cite high perpetual costs and poor value. Overall, strong learning resources hampered by pricing and access issues.

### Pros

- Strong chord learning and reference that helps users memorize chords and practice switching.
- Long-standing value and loyalty; many users call it their favorite guitar app.
- Extra tools like Scale Bank and Uke Bank and the CAGED approach aid understanding and improvisation.
- Clear lessons and nicely presented chords and scales.
- Regular updates and good compatibility with companion apps keep it relevant.

### Cons

- Subscription pricing gates many features and is widely disliked.
- Scales and other tools have been moved to separate apps or hidden behind paywalls.
- Difficulty restoring past purchases on new devices or after reinstallation.
- Reverse chord lookup has become paywalled.
- Perceived high ongoing cost/poor value compared to what is offered.
