User Reviews

Reviewers praise tempo control with pitch preservation and guitar isolation, and see the app as a helpful THR amp practice aid. However, reliability and compatibility issues persist across iOS versions, with many reports of the app not playing, unresponsive controls, or no sound. A lack of instructions and long periods without updates are common complaints, along with missing features like saving loops or preserving imported songs.
Pros
  • Tempo control lets you slow down playback without changing the pitch.
  • Ability to isolate the guitar in a track for clearer listening.
  • Helpful for practicing and learning songs.
  • Integrates with THR amps for practical practice setup.
  • Generally useful practice tool for guitarists.
Cons
  • Significant compatibility and update issues across iOS versions and devices (e.g., problems on iOS 14.x, iOS 8/7) and evidence of long periods without updates.
  • Playback failures and unresponsive controls (often no sound, or play button not working).
  • Lack of instructions or documentation; onboarding is minimal and confusing for new users.
  • Missing essential features like saving loops or preserving imported songs (reimporting songs is tedious).
  • Limited device support (e.g., poor or no iPad support) and aging software with unclear future updates.

I live this app and so thankful it still works after all these years. Hope the support somehow stays alive.

I download the app, I clicked around on all the buttons and nothing happened. I deleted the app.

It doesn’t work with IOS14.7.1. Sad. Please fix it so I can thrive as a guitarist and make my ancestors proud.
