Needs update!. The higher tones of the sounds don't last very long and should last longer like a real guitar. Also there should be an option to select whether you want the feedback when you close the app. Otherwise it has been very useful.

Not AU. If you use AU, this is not for you.

Piano slash want to be guitar. Looks like a unfinished app that started with a great idea but never took off,really not much different sounds here,the guitar sound they have sounds like a piano trying to sound like a guitar,yes sliding your finger up and down is cool but this app is no more worth than a buck

Lap Steel / Dobro Tunings?. Bought the bundle after messing around with Bass Guitar One. I’m enjoying them all. Thank you! Wishlist: Add open tunings with 6th, 7th and 9th extensions to make the apps more awesome!

It’s a Midi Controller With Touch Sensitivity!!!. I already loved this app before I new it could control other apps and allow touch sensitivity when playing those apps. This app and the other iFretless apps are the only apps currently on an iPad that offer touch sensitivity when using the touch screen. All other synths require an external controller to access touch sensitivity. If you want to have this feature without having to hook your iPad to an external controller then this is the app you need.

No updates?. This app hasn’t seen updates in over 3 years. At least make it compatible with the latest versions of iOS. We are basically at iOS 16 now — so your app may not function to due to a lack of support. It would also nice to see updated features. Thanks!

Useless Now: NO sound on IPad Air with Latest IOS!. Until it get an update that makes it once again produce sound, it's absolutely useless. Too bad, was fun when it worked :(

Dear Mani Consulting Limited Company!. Once again thanks for the beautiful iFretless apps, they are amongst my favorites and I CANNOT wait for this one to become AUv3 too. It is fantastic and could really use an update. I do hope you will consider the idea of being able to play the strings of the guitar (and for iFretless Bass too) without playing ANY frets. Garage Band used to have this functionality before, not sure if it still has. Essentially, playing the strings from the right side would trigger the sound of the string itself without it being pressed on a fret. I’m sorry if I am not explaining this in the best way, I’m not a native English speaker but I hope you understand me. This is really one of the few things missing on the iFretless apps. The other one i’d really appreciate (especially for phone users) would be a way to lock the rotation of the UI of the AUV3 as for example AUM forces iPhone users into portrait mode which is not ideal for iFretless apps. If I lock my rotation, Ifretless becomes unusable as a screen controller. This isn’t such a big deal, but being able to lock the rotation of the AU would also allow us to grab the phone “upside down” as if it was an actual guitar (having the screen pointed outwards from the user essentially), which imo is amazing. The reason why I know this is because on ApeMatrix (since UI works differently) this can be done, and it is by far my favorite way of playing iFretless apps. Wonderful company! Keep up the AMAZING APPS!!! 🔥🔥

Expressive, Beautiful & Soulful. Wow ! Sounds are so expressive and soothing. I have lot of guitar patches for animoog, thumbjam and lot of others but nothing compares to expressive style of this one. Amazing !!!

Yeah, you should get it, if.... If you are looking for an expressive playable software guitar. iFretless bass is my favorite of this collection and I use the bass app for clean guitar parts due to it’s flexibility. This app is still great and you can run it through other amps and efx besides the ones that came with the app. The quality of this collection of apps is such that one should get the entire collection. With some practice, very good and convincing music can be made!👍🏾

Can the recordings be longer than 30 seconds. It’s pretty I love the Strats and being able to slide and vibrato and bend notes but the recordings are only 30 seconds long and would be cools if they could be limitless in length.

Bad update. I always enjoyed playing this app. The update makes the app useless. I deleted and reinstalled still no sound. If you like the app skip the update. 5 stars before update zero stars now. RW

Perfect, small user string tuning issue. So, this is the best along with the fret less bass app. The only thing is the guitar tuning with multiple strings gets wonky. It’s hard to explain but if you go up or down octaves or steps the relationship between the strings changes in a different way than a guitarist would normally want. The all 4ths and 5ths work perfectly in this regard as there is not that pesky guitar interval on that 3rd from high test string. I hope this can be fixed more or less if I even described it properly.... cheers great tapping boards!

Sweet!. While other apps stagnate, the iFretless apps just keep growing and getting better. Very nice sounds and music are just a download away. While it is certainly capable, I don't see myself using this like a guitar too much, but an instrument of it's own unique and delicious flavor. It is very adept at evolving drones, for example (try sliding your fingers up and down independently on two or three strings). Special effects, yes, and great for hammer-on/pull-off arpeggios. This one is going to stay on my iPad, without a doubt.

First use.....fail. No sound with my iPad Air...very disappointing,

Wrong placement in Audiobus. Hello there and thanks for your iFretless Guitar. Found one bug: in Audiobus the iFretless guitar appears at the output and not at the input as it has to be. The iFretless Bass does not have this problem. Please check and correct it!

Needs iOs8 Update ASAP. This is one of my key music making apps, but utterly useless in iOs8 since theres been no update. Now it just crashes anytime, whether standalone or IAA, wont even show in AB anymore.

Acts Like a Virus in iPad Air II.... Quite a powerful app, in a way. Merely launching iFGtr kills all sound output from device instantly. Mandatory restart required to reset sound output to normal. This is one glitch that needs to be corrected like NOW. When your app infects an Apple user's world, there is no grace period. We turn from nerds into caveman-nerds pretty quick like.

Please update like the others. Sure, I was just about given up hope, but if by some miracle you could give this app, at least the size enhancement at the others have it would be so appreciated as I still like to use it, and I own all of them

Great guitar app for an experimentalist. I love what I am seeing with ifretless guitar, sounds great too. It's my favorite guitar app for noise composition. Thanks for the awesome support too.

Audiobus freeze. New update caused a problem when working with audiobus .the audiobus icon that to the side does not respond at all when touched to switch apps.

Nice interface, sound could be improved. I started out using the iFretless Bass app and was impressed with the well-thought out interface and relative ease in creating convincing baselines very quickly and easily. Since iFretless Guitar shares the same interface, many of the same pluses apply. The biggest drawback is that the guitar sounds are not entirely convincing compared to Apple’s GarageBand guitar and the Steel Guitar app (by Yonac), which is far superior in terms of providing realistic guitar simulation that is quite pro sounding. I’d love for this developer to work on adding the ability to pick chords and strum to iFretless Guitar. It’s a wonderful app that would benefit from a little more engineering and sound tweaking.

Nice controller. I like this .... But I'd really appreciate a Scale selector ( key and type) and some corresponding markers on the 'fret board'. Besides learning new scales it would help me as I seem to get disoriented on the iPad's screen. Otherwise it's a great idea!

Great Instrument, Killer MIDI Controller!. A killer apps for beginner and pro musicians alike! (This review was original written for iFretless Guitar but the Bass and Sax versions are very similar with some instrument specific enhancement so I will just use this in all three reviews.) The iFrelless Guitar is truly an amazing app, one of my top 10 most used music apps on my iOS devices, and I have hundreds of them!! I think the app would be great for: Budding musicians who wants to start sounding good from the start go and meanwhile learning and exploring the Guitar fretboard layout and how it relates to the piano keyboard. It is also great for learning and practising the different scale, modal and chord shapes for the guitar. (Been trying to convince the developer into adding a scale overlay to aid learning...would be even more awesome as a learning tool then. :)) Guitarists(and Bassists) who wants to have a realistic and great sounding onboard guitar instrument on their iOS, as well as a familiar fretboard interface to play and control other music apps like BS16-i, Sampletank, and hundreds of other synthesiser apps with. Keybaord players who wants to add good guitar sounds to their arsenal, while being able to finely control all their sounds with the best pitch bending and velocity sensing(plus a CC touch controller pad) on the iOS. The onboard guitar instruments sound great(you can have three guitars playing together), and while the onboard effects are quite good, you can even use Audiobus to output the sounds to effect apps like JamUp, Amplitube...etc to create your very own custom sounds. The developer has painstakingly layered and programmed the sound samples so that the instruments sound really responsive and realistic. Hands down the best sounding guitar soloing app on the iOS. (though it lets you play power chords concurrently as well!) Where it really shines for me though is it's playing surface. No distraction with buttons and the likes. Pitch bending is absolutely awesome and definitely (the best)one of it's kind. Period. The control feels natural and intuitive and once you have learnt the basic scale pattern you can play in all keys easily(unlike the piano keyboard) and there are different tuning options to pick from. An optional touchpad can be activated to control any CC's you want(e.g.: timbre, filters, volume...etc). Velocity sensitivity is the best I have seen on any iOS app and while this still has some room to improve, this is more a limitation on the iOS and the developer is ready to pounce on any new technological possibilities to improve the app as soon as they become available. With coreMIDI, you can use iFretless to control and play the hundreds of other music apps. One fun thing I have recently done is to use iFretless to control a good GM Soundfont hosted in BS16-i and viola, not only instantly I have 128 new instruments to play from, I also have a 81 key drum pad that is velocity sensitive, bendable and CC controllable! It works really well with Sampletank too having hundreds of acoustic, orchestral and synthesized sounds. Great as it is as an instrument, I find the iFretless series has helped me greatly with my learning BOTH the guitar and the keyboard as well. With the colours of the strings denoting the black and white piano keys it allows me to explore the different scales and modes and translate what I know from the Guitar to the Keyboard and vice versa. You can also turn on the Key Labels so you know what you are playing if you get lost(which can happen as you are playing a 9 x 9 fretboard! A scale and mode overlay would be very helpful in this aspect and I have been emailing the developer Hans Anderson who is very helpful and responsive and he said that he was trying to get musicians to get away from the "scale" mindset and explore the other new sound territories and hence he had decided to leave that out for now but would keep his mind open about adding it later. While this is very true as I have found myself playing in surprising new ways, I think it is still good to have the option and allows a smooth and easier entry for new users. After all, it would be best to first learn the rules, THEN learn how to break them. :) Other potential areas to improve would be easier assess to the option screen and it's interface, a "Polyphonic" mode to allow multiple notes to be played on the same string, more customizable note range(0-127), allowing other chord types to be played easily, having different MIDI channels for the chord output from the main, and a scale overlay with large number so scale and mode types for easier learning. These are by no mean the apps' shortcoming but rather just represent my wish list. :)) When I first got the app, I was hoping that iFretless would behave like my real guitar, but now I am almost wishing that my guitar would start to behave more like iFretless! My hat off to Hans Anderson and his team for creating such an expressive and playable instrument. Clearly he cares a lot for his apps and would be committed to continue improving it. :) Get the app, explore it a bit, learn the basic scale patterns(start from C-easy with the string colour), and you will be absolutely amazed at how realistic and expressive a Pro level music app can sound!

Inter app audio please?. This is such a useful and brilliant sounding music tool. Much like the oustanding ifretless bass and sax it would be perfect with IAA support. if this is already in the works then please disregard, otherwise great work. I love the ifretless series and would purchase many more new instruments if made available. ifretless violin or trumpet maybe? :)
