Tunefox Reviews

by Catbee Is Scared

This sounds really cool! But I haven’t used it yet..and I probably never will. You need to pay for a subscription which is totally fine I’m sure it’s worth it but I personally can’t pay so bye-bye this app. Also please don’t get me wrong, a company should do what they need to do to pay their employees and feed themselves so please Please don’t spite them for making it subscription only I think it’s better than barely being able to do anything because you don’t have a membership. So yeah I’m not at all mad more like “oh well” anywho from what the other comments say it’s a great app so if you can are willing to you should.

I think Tunefox is GREAT for early learners. The ONLY thing is that you only get like 4-5 songs if you don’t pay like $19 a month, which is insane for a simple banjo app.

Like I said, besides that^ Tunefox is great! I would actually strongly recommend.

This a great and helpful app. The layout is fantastic, and the ability to switch song segments to pentatonic scales, chromatic, etc. is an unexpected boon. The Lessons are great, but regrettably limited, and don’t take you very far. There are a few things that could be added, for sure, such as expanding the song library to include more than folk/bluegrass music (though I understand that’s the primary genre for the target instruments, mandolin can easily transition to more classical melodies). It would also be nice to switch from numeric tablature to a standard d musical notation (staves and noteheads).

All things considered, if you’re learning your instrument for bluegrass or folk, this is the perfect app. And even if you’re not interested in that genre, the mechanics and techniques learned can generally carry over to any other.

I appreciate the ability to slow the tablature playback. A couple of lessons show up blank for scales on my iPad is my only issue. It’s great to have something new to work on.

As someone who hasn’t played music in several years Tunefox was a perfect way for me to hit the ground running with learning the banjo. After a month of working through the lessons I am feeling more confident in my ability to start playing with a group.
The support for Tunefox is top notch. I have mad suggestion to them through email and Facebook and have had great response time and friendly service. They have even implemented one of my suggestions already.
There seems to be an active development staff and the Facebook group has been very helpful.
The value for the subscription is great when compared to lessons or other online instruction. If you’re thinking about learning a new instrument or just learning bluegrass this app is amazing.

Love it. It’s exactly what I needed to get me going again on the Banjo. Very easy to follow along with the tabs. Love all the bells and whistles.

Get Tunefox! It’ll change your playing skills 100%

Hard to hear the metronome and the back music is a bit too loud and just tends to drown out what was once a decent metronome.

I have been contacted promptly by the CEO of this app and they’ve been awesome about helping explain and correct my issues.

What I love about it is the ability to play along with the Tabs in both the Lessons, riffs and songs, it really helps to hear and play along. Since I am just starting out I loved too that I could click the link to the chord and find the shape WITHIN the song While Playing it! Great features, I also love the video lessons and the teacher does a Wonderful job on every single video explaining! I really can’t say enough good

Very cool app. Really intuitive and easy to use. Definitely the most condensed and accessible platform to learn bluegrass tunes that I've seen online. Highly recommend it!

I’ve been playing Banjo for many years. I have subscribed to many web sites and purchased countless books and tabs. Tune Fox is hands down the easiest and most comprehensive approach available. Great app.

What a great app!!! It is great for all skill levels. It has become the tool I most often use learning Mandolin. I highly recommend this app.

I would recommend Tunefox to anyone who was looking to learn the Banjo or Guitar. Great interface that makes the learning fun!

by Good Ol Chris

I’ve used a ton of different methods to learn songs but this app is one of the most streamlined and fun. It’s easy to work and has a lot of good tunes built in. Can’t recommend it enough.

The best app and software I have found hands down. I struggled a lot with timing and keeping rolls. This software made me a beast at jams and keeps me going. I am addicted and strive to learn every song in this software both banjo and guitar. I love it. I tell all my friends about it also!!

Finally an app that has so many cool features it’s hard to mention all. Tunefox was created by professional musicians and teachers so it addresses all aspect of music learning. I am a professional musician and teacher and now use Tunefox with many of my students. Good job guys!

What a brilliant learning system to enable a 73 year old to play banjo, Tunefox has brought me a new lease on life. Thank you this app for all the help through both group and individual support, I wish you could have been available 50 years ago, I would be on stage now next to Scruggs!

by Doc_C

Was learning banjo many years, and life happened. Started again and looked for a teaching app. Wow, there are many out there, some very good, a lot, not so much. this app is one of the more expensive, but well worth the money. Many options in learning how to play and improve your skills.

When I first paid for a 3 month subscription I couldn’t actually get access to all content. Bennett worked with me for a few days, I sent proof of payment and they manually opened my account. I couldn’t be happier. I don’t believe there is any better learning tool for banjo available. Highly recommend.

Tunefox has helped me get back into picking up my banjo and guitar. I had continuous frustration and just gave up several times before. Tunefox provides a continuous song loop at various bpm and lick change-outs which has allowed me to figure out melodic vs Scruggs distinction. I wish I had this many years ago!!
I can’t wait for more songs and licks to be added.

I ask that there be a lick “companion” where you can start composing and it gives you options and variations on what to go on to next.

The visual timing on the tab is a huge bonus

I also would like to see some Celtic tunes added too, along with Christmas tunes (esp What Child is This).

I had to take a couple of months off from banjo lessons when a family member was injured. Once I found Tune Fox, I was able to pick up where I left off. I’ll definitely resume lessons this month, but am still going to use this stellar app to improve my skills. I’ve had a couple of minor issues when on iPad, but it’s been mostly smooth sailing. I use Bluetooth headphones with one ear on and the other off, so I can hear my mistakes (or lack of em!) I love that you can change app settings to help you improve playing by ear, playing faster, and slowly adding challenges. CAN’T THANK YOU ENOUGH TUNE FOX! Well worth the reasonable price.
