Appmuse

Has no real substance

I love the app, and it is very useful in learning how to play the banjo. The problem I have come across is that I recently purchased a tenor banjo and this app does not have a tuning for that. This means that I am unable to find the chords and scales to play the instrument. It would be greatly appreciated if this feature were added. Show more

Great product. Very easy to use. Excellent for beginners.

This app has some nice features and an attractive UI but falls short in a couple of areas. Mainly, and for me this is a biggie, there are no fret numbers. When it displays a chord diagram. You have to physically count the frets on the neck diagram. Was the root note on the 8th fret or was it the 9th? Does your pinkie go on the 11th or 12th...Let me count again. Very impractical at a jam or rehearsal and you need to find a D6/9 or Cmaj7 or a G#dim quickly. Showing the whole neck on the screen is nice but makes the chord diagrams and the dots with the intervals/notes VERY small. It might be more practical to only show half the neck at a time making all the diagrams twice as large. Show more

I finally found the other tunings. Press on the letters that say Standard Tuning and tons of others come up. $.99 cents for each or 3.99 buys them all. I only bought the standard C tuning because its the only other one I use. Nice app once you get the hang of it. Show more

It has ads, so why should I pay to unlock other features?

Nothing like a real banjo!

It sounds NOTHING like a banjo to me. Don't bother trying to play it.

Works great! No problems and so far the free version has been plenty good for tuning!

outrageous and infuriating set-up wherein everything must be purchased along the way, a guaranteed frustrating interface. just make a good app and charge the price you want for it, don't send me down this path of continual price tag discovery. i'll use something else. Show more

This app is a waste of time. It is full of bugs and it is illogical and impossible to understand. Most of the time the drone string doesn't play then it might for a little while. There are no instructions , the program randomly and without explanation will start playing one note over and over, avoid avoid avoid and for SURE do not buy the extra turnings Show more

Perfect for the beginner.

Good chord and position tutor. Metronome is a great addition. The free version will cover you for chords/backup on bluegrass standards. The All Tunings in-app purchase is a must-have for usability in old-time tune exploration--good coverage of most! No capo capability for tunings, so it falls down on the chord tutoring there.

Very good app but can you add the dDGDD tuning?

Does what it's supposed to & the price is right.

If you wanna learn how to play the banjo here it is. It doesn't show you picking patterns but that's for you to learn, makes playing with friends much easier, when they are playing a wrong chord on guitar or saying its a chord that its not I look it up on guitar companion and there it is. The new update is wonderful I could not figure out d minor 9th on the banjo but now all the chords are here. Show more

Here's what I like: - best user interface of similar apps that I've used - makes it really easy to tune my banjo. I have an electronic tuner but a tin ear. Being able to tune to the absolute sound of the notes really speeds up tuning and keeps me from breaking strings - i can show chord finger position which I find useful. I purchased the extras to stop advertising and add all the other tunings. They add to the cost but they seem reasonably priced. Show more

App does not work after up date

Very cool stuff. Get great use out of the metronome

App will not open with OS 6 even after many times deleting and reinstalling
