User Reviews

Guitarism is widely praised for its realistic guitar sounds, solid MIDI-out routing, and an uncluttered yet deep interface that makes it a go-to for jamming, recording, and music creation on iPhone and iPad. The main downsides are a stagnant development cycle with no major updates in years, a limited 6-chord palette that many users want expanded, a price that some feel is high for the feature set, and missing features like MIDI input and richer chord/modal options.

Pros

Realistic, high-quality guitar sounds that many reviewers consider the best among iOS guitar apps.
MIDI out and external routing enable layering with synths, DAWs, and Mac VSTs.
Uncluttered, intuitive interface with depth that is easy to learn yet powerful.
Strong cross‑app compatibility (GarageBand, Audiobus) and good iPad/phone support.
Very enjoyable to play and widely regarded as one of the best guitar apps for practice, jamming, and recording.

Cons

Only 6 chords on the palette; lack of room for more chords or easily adding rows or rearranging boxes.
Development appears stagnant with no major updates for years; perceived abandonment by some users.
Relatively high price for the feature set; several reviewers feel it’s expensive compared with similar iOS instruments.
Missing MIDI input and some advanced chord/modal features (e.g., richer chord types, inversions, modal support).
Occasional reports of Bluetooth audio issues in some setups.

On both phone and pad this is a game changer for me. With midi out I can bring my other sound apps and even Mac VSTs to life. A few things I would change for a paid Pro upgrade: 1 moving chord boxes position on-screen. 2 Adding more chord boxes to the vacant screen real estate on the pad version 3 Keeping only and changing the chords you set up when transposing. Not recording chords when you go to a minor key. 4 Modal support 5 Allowing all the positions of easy chord type 6 String bending and finger vibrato 7 Midi learn for key boxes so you could change chords with a keyboard and strum with the other hand. MPE capability. 8 Watch support to change alternative chord selection
