Pros and cons of Bass Guitar Tutor app for iPhone and iPad

Bass Guitar Tutor app good for

Truly an interesting, fun and intuitive way to practice your bass theory scales and popular riff knowledge on the go! Very impressed.
Great place to start to learn bass but would also be helpful if there was a section on the bass notes

Some bad moments

No sound coming from the app. Which is unfortunate because it otherwise seemed to be pretty user friendly. Fix it
I tried the free version and found the bass sounds bit like rubber bands. I dont know what the pro version sounds like. It would have been great if the app used the mic on the ipad. You could play your own guitar instead of taping on the screen. It would make a very good exercise tool.
I have a custom ESP 5 string bass LTD and have found this extremely difficult to tune my bass when I have to reset a string in this app too tune. Then the riffs are all for four string.
There are a few good features but overall its Simon Says for the Bass Guitar. It goes to fast to really learn it. No pause and it doesnt give you the real notes. If you just want to fool around its ok but I was hoping for a follow along to learn songs.
Works great but half the time when I go into it wont make a sound! Other than that works great!
Pretty cool app. Could be a little more user friendly ie showing notes for easier learning, also souls add a bass chord trainer
