Real Guitar - Music Band Game

Won't let you play without signing up for 7.99 weekly. On closer look, I see all the reviews saying the same thing. And the developer replies with a message to email them with screenshots. This is obviously a recurring issue. Most people don't want to email tech support to a game they never played. Much less, a game that aggressively attempts to get you to buy a paid subscription. And few want a paid subscription to something they never even tried.

Installed it and tried to get past the free trial stuff. Tapped "skip to limited version" at the bottom. Asked me again if I wanted to try the free trial. I said "no thanks." It took me to a screen that advertised it one more time. I pressed "Continue." It took me to the Google Play subscription page. I immediately uninstalled it. Look elsewhere for a more trustworthy app.

The first thing the app does is try to get you to get the unlocked version for $50/year. If you are just trying to test the app before buying stuff (or committing to a trial), you can skip that step, but be prepared to be disappointed: the free version will pester you with ads on every change of screen, the sound quality is only an approximation to what a real guitar sounds like, strumming mechanism is plain and unimaginative, the electric option is a bad joke (used as an acoustic only), etc.

I can't seem to find that "x" button that the developer keeps mentioning, therefore, I cannot get past the "let's rock" screen without signing up for the trial and astronomical $49.99/year cost. No...just no. Edit: In response to the developer's comment, there literally IS no "x" button there! Maybe it doesn't show up on certain phones/OS/updates, but obviously there are tons of people that aren't seeing it. There is an issue there.

this app was fantastic just a few short months ago. the highly aggressive advertising has become a gigantic nuisance with not less than 3 ads to upgrade THIS APP to the premium version. I dont want the premium version, I have several actual guitars, I like to fiddle with this when I'm out and about if I get an idea for something. now it's just a chore to open and actually use. nix the heavy handed advertising and I'll update my rating. sound is still fantastic though.

When I first downloaded this app months ago ads were on the front page only. While playing the guitar there were no ads. Now the ads are on the playing screen of the guitar and take up 1/3 of the screen. It would also be nice if the screen rotation could be locked. It's almost unplayable that it auto rotates non stop.

Tons and tons of ads in free version. U have to back out of things all the time. Where I drew the line was when a pop up came up and said "like us on instagram" well u couldn't back out of that pop up, and couldn't continue with the game. I'd highly recommend not downloading it. I had it for like 5 minutes or less. The one song I played was like 20 strums... and then congratulations high score of 3500. So like a 30 second strum of a song. That's it. Subscription... 49.99 yearly... lol

Extremely Annoying, that's what I can say about this. Every time an Ad opens up, there's a push notification telling me to come back even though I'm in the app still. There's no clearly shown settings page, a lot is premium stuff, and when I get an Ad played, and the app reopens, the guitar sounds don't load in. I press strings and its completely silent. If it were fixed and the layout was better I would rate this up.

You should stop pretending that even with the subscription, that this is a good service and app. It's not. It's just as bad as the other similar "Real Guitar" apps. It's 100% just a cheap way for you people to make money off of monetization. You care not about the actual functionality of the app, and the quality of the interface and overall experience shows this.
