This app originally recorded directly to mp4, like most music apps. It was possibly the best guitar app on the market. After various updates, it now records through the device microphone, causing the expected large amount of distortion. Even with the full paid version, this renders it virtually useless for recording and sending tracks. It has become essentially a practice toy rather than the formidable recording tool it once was. On the good side, the developers have been pretty good about correcting errors to make the app usable. Perhaps they will correct this one.

I guess, from what I gather from other reviews, you used to be able to record in mp4, directly to garage band with this thing, as and interapp audio instrument. What it needs to do is be an “audio unit extension,” instrument that records to garage band on your device, in midi, and if it was that way I’d pay $47 bucks to own this app, instead of the .47 cents a month they want. Without that function, it’s just a glorified toy. Who knows, maybe apple made them change it to where it couldn’t even record mp4 to GarageBand as an “inter app audio instrument,” (does sound only, not midi like the audio unit extension) on the device, and instead had to use the device mic, to record tinny, terrible, sound, cause they thought it was too good. If so, that’s a shame and not the developer’s fault. And if I just can’t figure out how to do what I’m describing, and it already does it, then I’m sorry, but I don’t think this is the case. If Apple doesn’t want other companies to make apps like I’m describing, then they ought to do it, as add ons. They could make a lot of money, selling digital instruments that record to GarageBand as “audio unit extensions,” in midi, that are upgrades to what the current program offers. Which this app would be, if it did what I described.

Great app. Been using it for a while. Doesn't work with earphones tho. I tried using Airpods Pro, but audio output does not change from speakers. Any secret I/O mapping menu? Maybe in the upcoming updates? ( Also I believe a strum pattern library should be available, just like DAW guitar VSTs. 8 isn’t always enough )

I really wanted to like this app and I thought the qualities were nice. I just wish there was at least one left handed guitar to practice with. I tried flipping the iPad, but it forces the guitar to be in one direction. I couldn’t reverse the chord orders to at least hold the iPad upside down either. It’s quite tricky trying to teach myself upside down because I’ve got the proper left handed guidebook. Maybe if none of the guitars can be a left handed one make it possible to ‘reverse’ the chosen guitar so we don’t have to learn upside down. 😐
