Reviews

PocketGuitar had potential
Halmummy

The app could have gone far, the fact a user can move up and down the neck is terrific. I would rather see an app like this that anchors at nut where the head stock is and has frets sized respectively. Obviously you have to reduce size, but for heaven sake distances have to be proportional from fret to fret. Now that I would buy, I bought this piece of 2nd rate dev crap and I am actually amazed it still loads on current ios. Doubt that would still apply if implementation were par for the cours(e) and PocketGuitar had been a playable iGuitarAPP. Peace, Halmummy


Great! Still works great on iPhone 7 Plus

I have had this app for many years - iPhone 4, iPhone 5s, and now, on my iPhone 7 Plus - it still works! What I like most is being able to change the tunings to experiment - especially open tunings and even “custom tuning”. With built- in effects, it can real wail (reverb, distortion)! You can hold and bend notes, etc. Great sustain. Fun to jam on - especially when you don’t have a guitar handy. You want chords? Play chords. This is for guitarists - not a “toy”. You have all 6 strings and 7 frets - strum or hammer-on or both. Seems to work well with the larger sized screen of my 7 plus. I hold it just like a guitar. Crazy!


Had this since 2008

Fun to mess around


Needs chords

I like picking don’t get me wrong but It would be cooler to be able to play chords


Exactly what I wanted
Joeshmock

I just wanted an app that allowed me to play on a guitar. You can't really play like you would be able to a real guitar, but I can write basic riffs on it. It also allows you to change the tuning you're playing in. You can change the strings individually too. It's got a guitar, bass, uke, and some pedals with effects like wah, distortion, and echo. If that's what you're looking for, this app is perfect.


One of a kind

Pretty good, nice work. More sounds would be cool


Would never download

Thought this might be a cool app but it would never download. Checked other apps and all downloaded just fine. Kind of disappointed I wasted a $1.


It's OK, has potential to be much more interesting
Neumuzik

One of the very first guitar simulations I bought for iOS, which is still after all this time is only designed to run on the iPhone (app does not take advantage of the iPad size difference). There are several other teriffic apps which could be called guitar simulations, for example "Steel Guitar" by Yonac, and "Pearl Guitar" (which has fallen into disrepair and is no longer updated by the developer). These were designed to take advantage of the larger format available on the iPad and both have many more options. Please update this app and make funding the development part of an in-app purchase! Please!


Good, but needs work.

I love this app, but it's still not to the full potential it has. For one, I say more effects would be nice. And also, I have to keep it on the muted guitar all the time because the strings ring on for much to long for quicker playing. If you could keep the sound of the electric strings but for the same length as the muted, that would be nice. Other than that, it's one of my favorite apps I have.


Wow
TheDustinPeters

I am a huge guitar player and felt like i was taking a risk when i bought this app, because i figured it would end up being hard to use, and a very limited app. I was nothing short of astounded when i tried it out. Easily worth 5 bucks. I recomend it to any player
