User Reviews

Reviews show a mix of enthusiasm and frustration. Users praise Guitar Riff for helping beginners learn riffs quickly and for a wide selection of riffs, with fast progress. However, recurring complaints include intrusive ads, occasional crashes or non-functioning playback, and limited tempo control. Many want more songs and improvements to the UI and accessibility (clearer note highlighting, color options). Overall, the app is promising for learning by ear but needs fixes and more content to appeal to a broader audience.

Pros

Helps users learn riffs and actually play guitar, with quick progress from simple riffs to more complex ones.
Large, varied library of riffs/songs to learn.
Beginner-friendly and accessible for new players.
Offers useful customization options like adjustable speed and fret width.

Cons

Ads are pervasive and annoying.
The app sometimes doesn’t work or fails to play songs.
Playback speed is not easily adjustable in real time; it goes too fast.
Users want more songs; library is limited.
UI/UX/navigation issues and readability (sticky screens, hard-to-see highlighted notes, desire for color controls).

Recent reviews

I have learned quite a few riffs from this app. I can actually make music with my guitar! I start on the app, 5 notes, then 10, etc., until I get to the end. It does have nice options....speed, fret width, etc. Be nice if you could change speed without opening options.

Downloaded read directions and tried the app. It never played the song, and wasn't functional beyond choosing the song. Adds were everywhere.... Frustrated and deleted the app.
