----------- NO SOUND? -----------

Please try following these steps:

1. Un-mute your iPad's speakers. There is a new mute button on iOS 4.3 located in the multi-tasking panel. Double tap the home button and slide to the left to access it. There was an orientation lock button before the 4.3 update.
2. Check the volume controls on the side of your iPad.
3. Restart your iPad by pressing and holding the power button.

If you continue experiencing this issue you may contact us at support+guitar@howcast.com

Sound stopped working

Great app when it was working. Now the sound does not work. Worthless music app without sound.

Doesn't work!

I loved this app on my iPhone 4 and my iPad 4. I have just upgraded to an iPhone 6 plus and nada! Just freezes on ignition. Please fix this, it's a great app when it works.

No sound on an iPad

Still no sound for the videos in this app...

No sound

Rule 1) When creating an app to teach a musical instrument, you probably want to ensure that the sound works. Waste of money ... find another app.

Broken: Sound doesn't work

Videos do not play sound on the latest version of iOS on an iPhone 5S. This app is literally useless without sound. App clearly has not been updated for the longer screen of the iPhone 5 let alone any stylings of iOS 7. What a waste.
