Too big a jump
07/18/2024

DrGary
The beginner course was fantastic. I never played an instrument before. Soon I was learning to play simple songs and learning the fingerings. Then…. The advanced course. ( no intermediate). Now in one step, no longer do you get the letters on the notes. It doesn’t wait if you make an error. Plus adding new complexity to the songs. There needs to be some transition lessons in between. Maybe one where you lose the letters on the notes. Then one where the error pause goes away. Then maybe some faster songs. Not all at once. I was ready to quit the whole thing. But I remember the joy I had at the beginning so I struggle on. It’s more of a chore now.

Ran out of lessons - update

I loved this app from the start and paid for a subscription. I’m new to sax but have a music background and enjoyed how it would introduce each note or concept and reinforce with lessons. But I was disappointed that the lessons ran out after only 12 notes. Update-the lessons have been extended and improved and I see that the real value in the app is to play songs and improve with the graded guidance.The challenges have become more fun and I’m usually in the top 10, after just 4 months playing sax. I like how Tonestro gamifies learning an instrument, similar to a popular language app. It’s become part of my practice routine.

Game changer for beginners

I am trying to learn saxophone myself without any personal teacher. I could make progress only after this app. Immediate feedback whether note play correctly is awesome.A few areas of improvement: 1: low notes are not easy to play on tenor saxophone, I hope there will be more guidance on that as we progress.2: it always give me three stars after I complete exercise. I wish it would evaluate tone more accurately. But there may be tech limitations. 3:Is there any way App can record what we are playing as a part of exercise.

Immediate upsell during the trial

The app regardless of how good it is preys on FOMO by offering an immediate upsell at the start of the 7 day free trial and I mean at the very first second of starting the trial. The whole app industry as a whole is feeling more scammy than ever due to subscription services that are incredibly predatory by forcing you into year long contracts in the hope people do not cancel their subscription’s. If you have a good product allow people to be their own judge after they have actually tried it, stand on your merit and leave the customer alone. We all know most of these services are not worth their value much of the time but prey on the psychological aspects of car salesmen tactics to make money. It’s shameful to see it done on everything including the apps that could be perfectly fine without the sleeze. App devs need to do better.
