Loog Guitar Reviews

Pretty Good!!

Playing the guitar was a challenge for me, but the Loog really helped! This app has been very helpful so far, and I definitely recommend it!!

Top notch

We bought their acoustic for my four-year old and I was amazed at how quickly he learned while using this app. The three string method really works well for young hands and beginners.

I bought the Loog mini which is recommended for kids 3+ and the Loog website shows this app as a learning tool and if it’s on the mini page, customers are thinking this is good for kids 3+. I thought there would be animated instructions based on the cute character screenshots. To learn the basics, it takes you to YouTube videos which only feature the electric Pro. ? The instruction is not geared towards young children. This app itself is rated for 12+!!! ? So basically just spent $80 on a mini guitar that uniquely has 3 strings that advertises app instruction which doesn’t exist for the mini!!! ? I don’t know how to play the guitar and there are no other YouTube videos instructing young kids. It’s really overpriced for what it is. Will guitar teachers take the time to adjust teaching on a 3 string guitar??? DO NOT BUY THE LOOG MINI! THERE IS NO APP FOR IT!

Missed opportunity

I agree with rwood213 - there is a lot of potential in this app, but it just doesn’t deliver. The songs lack finger positions, the games (game) aren’t engaging, and overall the app fails to deliver the fun and inspiration promised from the website. All of the kids in the family got Loogs for Xmas, and I’m disappointed that they’re going to have to look to other apps or lessons to really learn to play.

Has potential, poor app tanks product

The guitar is actually really cool. But the accompanying app needs an overhaul in order to realize the full potential of this mini guitar. The songs are WAY too fast for a beginner. The metronome won’t go below 80 bpm which should be an extraordinarily easy fix and major product design fail. There’s numerous examples of how to teach a song via an app. Yousician is probably the best example. This app doesn’t show the strumming pattern and just rolls through the chords. In summary, the physical guitar is actually really cool, but the weak, underdeveloped app robs the guitar of its potential, and guarantees customer disappointment and high return rates. I’m not sure about the five star reviews but I’m suspicious that they’re written by friends and/or employees of the company

Download Yousician instead

Bought this guitar for my 5 year old. He loves it, but the app literally bums him out. Like, he loved playing the “follow The bouncing ball” type lessons on my Yousician app, so I specifically bought him a Loog guitar and downloaded the app. He was so frustrated and confused not even five minutes in, that if I hadn’t given him my acoustic and let him play along w/the Yousician app, he would have given up guitar. Some dude wrote a review a YEAR ago saying how much the app needs an overhaul, come on Loog! You can make a rad app that doesn’t frustrate kids AWAY from the instruments that brought us to you in the first place. Make the app before someone else does, you can do this! ????

Loog app doesn’t work

This was very disappointing. I’ve played guitar for many years and was interested in getting the Loog guitar for my grandson to get him started. I thought the app would be useful. I loaded it, couldn’t get it to run the few songs they have listed. None of which my grandson knows anyway. Game, unclear how that works. Nothing really there, and none work.

Not super facilitating for 7 year old

It’s a cute app, but it isn’t super intuitive for a 7 year old to use. Could use added features like an actually teaching component that doesn’t rely on YouTube videos. Actually spend some time and develop a full featured app that is intuitive for small children and walks them thru learning. Yousician does this much better. App based learning was a huge selling point, disappoints in most regards...
