Content Good, App Wanting – AA Guitar Skills Magazine Review

The content in Guitar Skills are great supplementary lessons, this coming from player returning after 20 years rebuilding many skills from ground 0, and a good knowledge of what I didn't do right last time. The video content is great, but video is not enough and there is too much dependency on it without real work put into WORDS, so you can easily refer back to things. So I will leave that at "supplementary". The app itself is reusing a underlying app I've seen in other publications, and it is one of the worst magazine (or text book) implementations I've used, and I do a LOT of reading, for work, personal and guitar. Navigation is pitiful, and this is critical for learning delivery. Worse, the app seems to be built into each issue, instead of the content being independent -- meaning if the app has to be updated, every issue has to be individually updated --RE-DOWNLOADED. Then, the app is frequently unresponsive, so coupled with the navigation and always strapped for time, I throw my arms up in surrender. So, unless this improves, I will not renew. Sad, because I like the content when I can find it. One last nit pick ... seems like some content disappeared in an update without explanation -- specifically some song lessons which is obvious what happened. That is kind of unforgivable.
