Bass Guitar!

response required

Surprisingly, this is exactly the sort of thing I was looking for when I downloaded this app. Not a tutorial, just a layout of a bass guitar neck so I could try out some scales and riffs. BUT... Is it MEANT to be LEFT-HANDED?!? It's as if the bass was strung backwards. A re-examination of the app's icon leads me to that conclusion. They might have SAID something. And in the "Learn Songs" mode it seems to work well enough. HOWEVER... the position markers are on the wrong frets (2-4-6 instead of 3-5-7 etc). It's very badly tuned BETWEEN G and G# on the top string (between E and F on the bottom). I read rumors of a "settings" menu (for transposing or righty/lefty?) but it seems to be covered by an obnoxious and obstinate banner ad along with all the others that pop up constantly. The "Play Bass" mode is even weirder. They reverse the strings(!) but it's still upside down. I can disable my phone's rotation, flip it, and tap only on the upper frets for righty playing, but then there's this horrible latency. I doubt that anyone at On Beat Ltd has ever played a bass guitar. I'm better off with a keyboard app. I'm TRYING to find a reason to like this app, but it's tough.

I lost my job and had a lot of free time to take up new hobbies. I downloaded the app, learned most of the basics and I was ready to go when I bought my peavey jazz bass. The app completely changed my life for the better

You literally can’t even play it normally which is dumb, pathetic

I would give it a better rating but is should be called, “Learning the BASSics”

first launch: crash. second launch: app opened and showed a little star icon at bottom left and an i icon at bottom right. briefly. and then an ad covered both buttons, so all i could see was the strings. no frets or anything else. plucked some strings to see what it would do, but the ad persisted. i tried clicking the edge of the star that was visible underneath it, but that just launched a window to purchase the app being advertised (something from AT&T). closed the window, which returned me to the app, but a different ad replaced the AT&T one. meh. there are plenty of other apps out there that don't have that issue, so i deleted this one.
