## Description

The Guitar with Songs is the app that lets you learn guitar with authentic strumming and fretting. It offers a large repertoire drawn from current hits and classics, plus a real-time band mode where your playing is accompanied by drums, guitar, and piano. You can choose an acoustic or electric guitar sound and practice on a multitouch 24-fret instrument with realistic damping and vibrato.

Two learning modes, adjustable metronome, left-handed support, auto-plucking, full-screen mode, and customizable fret markers and fingerboard give you a flexible, immersive practice experience. Free songs help you get started, while an Unlimited Premium subscription provides full access to the catalog. Terms and privacy are available online.

## Review summary

User reviews cluster around three big negatives: the app is heavily gated by paid songs and subscriptions, with few free options; ads and intrusive all-access prompts disrupt play; subscription management and restoration are buggy and hard to cancel. Users also report reliability issues (out-of-tune notes, crashes) and a very small free catalog, though some praise that it helps learn guitar notes and can play a few real tunes like Amazing Grace.

### Pros

- Helps users learn guitar notes and finger positions.
- Fun and entertaining to use when bored.
- Can play some real songs (e.g., Amazing Grace).

### Cons

- Songs are rarely free; pricing is high with per-song purchases and expensive subscriptions.
- Ads disrupt usage and interrupt play.
- Subscription issues and intrusive all-access prompts; difficulty canceling or restoring purchases.
- Very limited catalog of free songs; most content locked behind paywall.
- Reliability issues and bugs (out-of-tune notes, crashes, load/trial problems).
