MelodiQ: Real Guitar Teacher 4+

Crashes, doesn’t register notes without incredible lag

Tuned my guitar with the app (on iPad) just fine, but as I was playing the notes, no matter whether I plucked as soon as the note came on the screen or when it touched the line, it registered as “Late”. On the lesson on fretting, the app would freeze as soon as the first note was played.

I skipped to a song and it registered the notes fine - I finally got to see “Perfect”, so I guess just the very fundamental tabs are ‘broken’, which is going to be discouraging for a beginner!

Sound issues

I am playing on an EVH Wolfgang special, using the iPad 11 Pro, connected to the Line 6, Spider V; all cables have gold connectors.

Exercises are full of static, and slow to recognize that I have played a note.

Even though I only experience this problem with this app, I tried adjusting the volume levels, different chords, and tapping on things to find a loose connection, but in the end I could not replicate the static or improve its condition.

I have been using this setup for two years now, and can’t understand why I am having this issue with this app only.

I didn’t have this problem when this app was in testing (Beta). It was so beautiful in testing, the only reason I ever moved away from it was because at the time I spent so much time with it and it was so new, I ran out of challenging songs to play.

Back then I was using the iPad Pro 10.5, now I only have a USB-C port for my audio connection. I think that is probably the issue: I used to connect the 3.5mm audio to the stereo and the lightning cable to my amp. Now everything has to go to the amp with the USB-C cable, because there hasn’t been a 3.5mm audio plug on any new Apple device in two years now (not one that uses this app anyway.)

Too bad this app doesn’t work anymore, it had a lot potential considering Ultimate Guitar’s extensive library.

Revised Review 3

This program like me has some issues but it is reasonably priced and fun. Expect a bit of frustration with sound recognition depending on the type of guitar you’re using etc. I use an Irig2 and haven’t had any problems lately with tone recognition. There have been some songs that won’t load 1. Libertines, 1. Paramour.. and a couple of songs that no matter how well you do it tells you that you missed all the notes while showing you got all the notes? 1. Bruce Springsteen, 1. Alan Parsons Project-Eye in the Sky, 1.Guano-Open your Eyes. Other than those thing’s it’s fun and great for quick practice or learning with the modules at the top. Looking forward to new songs and grateful for all the hard work. Thanks guys
