Rocksmith+ Fast Music Learning Positive Reviews
Close but no cigarI want to start off by saying I’ve been playing guitar for 10 years self taught and loved the rocksmith 2014 game, but this doesn’t come close to how amazing the songs were on it, I’m just disappointed that the OG rocksmith songs isn’t on here, like trivium, godsmack, a day to remember, etc, for a new player this is amazing, great way to learn guitar but the choice of metal and rock songs is bland, I really hope to see more new era music added like wage war and bad omens, or even Black Sabbath it’s a great great platform, but I’m just once again disappointed with the music we have to chose from, I love rocksmith and always will as it is so much more fun to play rather than read tabs and and play by yourself as to where rocksmith keeps the groove going, rocksmith always made me strive to complete a song I’ve always dreamed of playing and allowed me to work on it note by note but I’ve found things I’ve liked and found things I haven’t but that’s nature of the human beast,I would love to see guitarcade make a comeback and session mode, I hope to see this improve but keep up the good work! For a on the go guitar/ instrument experience this is great!.J.12.45Version: 2.0.1
New update1- I love this app and have been using it for tabs since conception. It is a great way to pick up the basics of any song quickly.
2- the new update however has caused my mic on my iphone (which I have used since the beginning with no problem) to not pick up the sound from my bass consistently. Even though the notes are registering, it keeps pausing mid riff to tell me that I took a break. This is frustrating to say the least, as I do not yet have a midi to work through. Without the mic registering the notes, it is impossible to play a full song without getting interrupted and ruining the flow.
3- please make a compatible version for Mac!!.Gmack77Version: 1.9.1
Get the cable for the best experienceI have been a long time Rocksmith user since its original release. I have honestly only learned how to play because of this game. When I learned about Rocksmith+ I decided to give it a go. I have the original usb cable that came with the game back in the day and connect it to my IPad via a adapter and it works great. The list songs is extensive but not a “ton” of popular songs. I have spent quite a bit of money over the years on my PS4 and PS5 for different songs on the games. This one is starting to get some very good songs and I am honestly very excited to see what all comes in the future. The mic feature works alright but if you can get one of the Rocksmith cables and it will make your experience SOOOOO much better..Get the cableVersion: 2.0.0
Almost Worth the CostI’ve used Rocksmith since it’s first console release. I was hoping for more of the same experience here. It’s missing the majority of the songs that they once had available. This is the biggest reason I’m not paying for a new subscription. They also did not have the arcade practice games like they used to. I would have considered a subscription if they still offered those. Lastly, they should have some savings for those that have purchased the console versions.
I gave it 3 out of 5. This app has a TON of potential. Small music library, no arcade practice games, and no incentive for previous users are a miss. I’ll check back soon to see if they’ve built it out more. I’ve spent lots of money on “additional tracks” and multiple copies of Rocksmith on various consoles over the years….YouInFiveYearsVersion: 1.6.1
Been playing Rocksmith for 10 years. Love it!Just picked up this new Rocksmith and learned 2 new songs in a few days!!! Thank you!
This method is awesome. I like that it gives the tools to adapt to my speed but also that it increases difficulty on its own as I learn the song. Though it includes classic tabs, I’m a gamer and a visual learner so I progressively got to prefer to follow the screen.
The music selection is no bueno right now though. I hesitated to ding it a star, but they have a ton of songs so I’ll be patient. They had less songs before but more of the stuff I know. Please add more songs that I know and want to learn like in the prior games. Fingers crossed..Laurent756437Version: 1.6.1
Works but there’s room for improvementUPDATE:
So after some trouble shooting, I’ve figured out that I can bypass the server issue by simply staying out of the “play” tab. I can still access pretty much everything through the “home”, “learn” and “search” tabs. So the issue has been deescalated from catastrophic to minor annoyance.
I still think a paid app shouldn’t have issues like this that customers are left to navigate on their own, rather than the developer making it seamless. This is probably why other guitar apps have much larger user bases. But at least Rocksmith is priced more competitively to somewhat make up for it.
The only other criticism I have for now is that the song selection could be better. A lot of artists and songs are not available, and there’s no funk music category at all, which is a big disappointment for bass players.
But there is still a decent selection to choose from. Plenty to keep you busy, especially if you’re a beginner. The technique exercises are good too. That’s honestly one of the biggest selling points for me.
All in all, it’s a very effective app for helping you learn to play while making it engaging and interactive. I think gamified training is one of the best ways to learn. It just needs more attention and care from Ubisoft to bring it to the level of it’s competitors.
I’ll stick with it for now and update if there are further issues or changes.
-
Basic technique exercises work, but as soon as you try to play a song, the app blocks you with “can’t connect to server” error messages.
The songs load just fine, but the app will continuously stop playback and interrupt you with error messages, making it impossible play.
What’s shocking to me is that there are reviews going back MONTHS complaining about this issue, so I know I’m not the only one. And Ubisoft STILL hasn’t fixed it.
You have a lot of nerve charging money to use this app, and then refusing to support it or fix problems. This is exactly why people hate Ubisoft..BrenbvbgfjxyVersion: 2.9.1
Problems but still funThere is a lot of crashing and bugs when trying to even start out but when it works it’s incredibly good for learning. I just experience crashes when I try to start the app and I have to restart my phone to boot it and I get a crash or server issue 10 minutes later other then that is fun.Rusty bustVersion: 2.8.3
2014 Remastered vs RS+I really like hooking up to the PlayStation 3 or 4 and has more advantages compared to playing RS+ on an iPhone or iPad. Bigger screen, surround sound setup, and easier navigation unless running Apple TV via screen mirroring enabled on Apple device
However, disadvantages for the PlayStation systems… is limited amount of tracks to play and requires purchasing song packs or individual songs at $3 a track or $8-20 per pack.
Though, I wish RS+ would be integrated with the PlayStation 3 or 4 systems. I would gladly pay the subscription fee, and thank you for reading..MainCompVersion: 2.0.1
Loved Rocksmith 2014 RemasteredI’ve been using Rocksmith 2014 for about 10 years. I even bought a junky old computer to keep it going after I upgraded to one with USB 3.0 (the Real Tone Cable doesn’t work with 3.0, apparently). Anyway, this app likes to use the Mic to work… except it’s terrible. We have a house of kids, things are never silent. This really messes with note recognition. So we tried to use USB A to USB C adapter with the Real Tone Cable… doesn’t work. The app is useless, which is incredible disappointing..CroatoanianVersion: 2.8.3
Works for meDownloaded this week, now play on my phone more than my laptop. Yes, some things do get kind of small, but worth it so I can sit down with my acoustic anywhere in the house.
Honestly even if the library doesn’t have every song I could ever want yet they still have a lot of fun songs, enough for me to find something I like enough to get motivated and practice..RahpwnzulVersion: 1.4.1
Note Highway is too crampedDevelopers, you need to angle the note highway more like 2014 Remastered because on this new version the notes are too close together and it makes sight reading super hard especially on a phone.
I play the exercise packs on 2014 all the time so I’m super familiar with how they’re supposed to look. As soon as I played one of the exercises on Plus I noticed how cramped it was immediately.
I won’t whine about the library cause I’ve found some fun stuff but the cramped note thing is kind of a dealbreaker for me..The Divine SageVersion: 1.4.1
Gamifying guitar learning is invaluableI’m doing a combo with learning guitar for the first time ever mostly using Justin Guitar on YT for pure learning, and supplementing practicing and learning songs with Rocksmith. Rocksmith has been incredible and makes practicing so much more fun by gamifying it. I have ADHD so gamifying anything is essential if possible. One of the most valuable apps I’ve ever downloaded. Thank you for making this a thing!.Scmgames2Version: 2.7.2
Just not worth itI think the app and concept is incredible. I’m a fan of Rocksmith 2014 and having that experience on the go is great. I have no problems with the app itself as I think it’s very well designed for all Apple devices. However I think the subscription model is way too expensive to afford, and I find the song library too lackluster to justify it. I think experienced guitarists should put their money towards an UG Pro subscription instead, just saying….Atom.jackVersion: 2.5.0
Notes too small for iPhoneI was excited when I saw this was available for the iPhone. Except when Istarted to play it, the note/chord layout is the same as the xbox. This works great on a TV, but not for the iPhone. They need to redesign the way the notes are represented for the iPhone and iPad so that they are not so small and so that the player is able to see them when they need to be played, let alone see what notes are coming up cause those are even smaller..I love zombie farm FOREVERVersion: 1.4.1
Not bad, could be betterSong choices are slim, and not really what I’m looking for, not bad, actually a really good app. I prefer PC version cause there are more options to what you can download and play. I’ll stick to PC for now. Also over priced in my opinion but if you like the layout and it’s worth it for you then go for it and be the best guitar player you can be! :)
If they add Crossfade, Creed, Def Leppard, Guns and Roses, and bands similar or more well known rock songs to the app I may re-download..Austin Stunn3rVersion: 1.9.5
Not working with 26.1 updateHello all I was enjoying Rocksmith+ till I updated my IPad and IPhone to 26.1 ever since then the App has crashed over and over agin on both devices also do not load at all. I have sent Ubisoft several emails and the problem still has not been fixed..Raymond 727Version: 2.8.3
Great product, terrible appI love Rocksmith and have played the computer version for years. I finally decided to give Rocksmith+ a try, the game is still great and there are a lot of good things about this app. That being said the app often has trouble launching and I either have to uninstall the app or close and reopen it so many times before it works. Can it really be that hard to build a functional reliable app in 2025?.Cookam48Version: 2.8.3
Has helped me vastly improve as a self-taught bassistI started about a year and a half ago and have stuck with it largely due to Rocksmith. I do with there were more new songs but for the first few years of learning an instrument and get a feel for it, I think there is nothing better than Rocksmith..Fox'sworstnightmareVersion: 2.8.3
Fatal flawThe game is very enjoyable and it's getting three stars because it works great with my acoustic. But like every rocksmith version before, the audio lag when using the cable makes it unplayable for me. I've tried PS4 (RS), PS5 (RS 2014), PC and iOS (RS+)--all with the same very noticeable delay between plucking the string and hearing it come through on the game. Adjusting the audio buffer had no impact. I hope this gets resolved someday because it's such a fun way to learn..Fromage amourVersion: 2.0.1
It’s not connecting to my iOS subscription help!I love the app.
I’m trying to fix why it won’t let me log in.
I have an account and I have the 1 year subscription but after two weeks it kicked me out, I can’t get pass the resubscribe process page even tho I got one. Help!!.Diamond_banditVersion: 2.0.1
Great music learning appApp was easy to load and clearly walked me through set up, which is appreciated since I’m a beginner. Tuning was a breeze. I’ve already played “More Than a Feeling” twice! Look forward to digging into the rest of the song library..AHK84Version: 1.4.1
Great tool for a beginnerAlways wanted to pick up the guitar and finally found the app that I needed. It’s super simple to set up and very engaging. Videos are helpful and you can adjust the level of difficulty which is very useful for a newbie. Songs are fun and diverse. Highly recommend!.ZigZag playVersion: 1.6.1
Great but could improveGreat app that has made a big difference in my bass guitar progression. The user interface could definitely be improved (both the song menus as well as the note way and tab interfaces). Additional practice presets could help as well.
For the price, it’s missing a lot of classic and contemporary songs—which lowers my would be 4-star rating to a 3..YesrushnorushVersion: 2.1.0
Great playability on iPad with a midi pianoIt’s amazing how far iPads have come. The ability to have a mouse/keyboard USB (or Bluetooth) connected, external speakers and a MIDI piano. Rocksmith+ is exactly as I’d have hoped, and very impressive on the iPad. A great practice and learning tool. And when on the go, the ability to have a small MIDI piano and an iPad for practice is game changing..AppleTrakVersion: 2.0.0
Cool AppLoving the app, however i did run into a snag at first with the noise reduction calibration After it starts, it was stuck in an infinite loop that never succeeded. After reinstalling the app, i made sure to grant premission to my device's mic. Im not sure if that what indeed the issue but now when the noise reduction calibration starts, it can actually complete after a few seconds..JohnMowerVersion: 2.0.1
Not on consoles?The app version for my phone is neat and works well for the most part, I’d like more courses for beginners to learn and it would be worth more to me if I could play it on PS5..Daz DillyVersion: 1.2.5
Scammed?Basically, i bought rocksmith plus 1 year membership thing which is 78% off right now and it says i own it in my AppStore. Thing is in rocksmith it still only lets me play the 6 free songs. I’m signed onto the correct user and even when i try buying the 1 year offer again it says “you already own this, it will renew December 14th click manage to manage subscription”.MariusL1102Version: 2.8.1
À ton rythmeWow, un cours personnel à ton rythme selon ton horaire et ta discipline en utilisant sa propre guitare.( Dans mon cas, une basse)
Tu pratiques peu, tu évolue peu. Tu pratiques plus tu évolue plus.( Dans mon cas, une ou deux heures / jour.) NOTE : Comme dans tout, l’abus est nocif. Le secret est de répéter les exercices encore et encore et encore et encore…….(Dans mon cas , j’y travailles pour les réussir à 100%, 10 fois de suite, mais je sais que cela arrivera dans plusieurs mois.)Le but est de jouer d’un instrument de musique, pas de réussir des exercices. Ce n’est pas un test de compétence mais un apprentissage lent et répétitif sur du long terme. Alors si tu veux jouer vite fait, va sur ta console et joue à « zingneling héro »..Un utisateur quotidienVersion: 2.2.0
Just what we needed.All in all I have put in well over 1000 hours playing Rocksmith games since the original release of the game in 2011. First, you won’t find a better quality, more engaging, or fun way to learn how to play guitar with software, than Rocksmith. Second, the song choices are getting better with time, and there really is something for everyone at this point. If you enjoy playing guitar, and want to learn songs in a fun, engaging, and progressive manner, invest in the service. It’s worth it.
This app is a very welcome addition to the collection of Rocksmith games. If you’re like me and have difficulty playing a repertoire of songs from memory, this is the app that will make playing around the campfire finally accessible, and you have a great backing track if you use a Bluetooth speaker. Literally the only issue I have been having is background noise interfering with the game picking up the guitar from time to time.
Thank you to the entire Rocksmith team for all the years of work they’ve put into this game, and for being such an integral part of helping thousands of people learn to play guitar in a non-conventional and highly entertaining way..KeepsOnTickinVersion: 1.8.0

Love Tabs, Hate SelectionThe addition of showing tabs is way more intuitive for me and makes the experience a lot more enjoyable and easy to digest. However, the song selection is fairly disappointing and lacks a lot, maybe all, of what past games featured..Jbrom03Version: 1.2.5
Can I do this? Sure I can!This is my first experience with rocksmith. I’ve always been curious about the experience so I decided I would give it a shot.
The interface is beautiful, intuitive, and gets you started quickly. Most importantly, learning guitar is a daunting task, and I felt like it was actually an achievable goal thanks to the basics lessons and the fact you could practice with actual songs which is more motivating to me.
My advice, give the trial a shot, and you’ll see if it’s right for you. I definitely enjoyed it myself..FrostedTeddyBear01Version: 1.3.0
Most efficient & fun way to learn guitarI’ve been wanting to learn guitar for a while and never ended up paying for a teacher because I thought it was expensive and time consuming.
Until I recently found out about Rocksmith+.
In my opinion there’s no better way to learn than from playing a game from the comfort of my home.
The cheapest, funniest and most efficient way to learn guitar is with Rocksmith+..BreezerizerVersion: 1.2.5

Rocksmith+ Fast Music Learning Negative Reviews
Guitarist for 35 yearsI was very excited to try this program. But it is completely frustrating. The catalog of songs is incredibly limited. And the software itself has a hard time registering my notes, perhaps due to the fact that I did not have the right sound engine loaded, so that is on me. However, it became quickly very clear to me that it is very difficult to watch the screen and play the guitar. I have always played by feel, but I'm realizing that I look at the neck and the strings more often than I realized. I cannot imagine being a new guitarist trying to learn and having my eyes glued to the screen the whole time. Learning to listen, and to watch what your hands are doing are the most important things about learning the guitar. Staring at the screen and trying to match little blips as they go by has absolutely nothing to do with learning to play music. Some things cannot and should not be gamified.
I cannot read music and so I learned to play by ear. And as a professional guitarist for 25 of my 35 years playing the instrument, I was always very glad that I had developed the ability to play what I was hearing. Much better to spend your time developing your ear and spending your time with your eyes on your instrument than staring at the computer screen.
Unplug from the computer if you want to learn. You'll be so glad you developed skill and love for one of the few activities we have left that is not digitized..DashielbladesVersion: 1.5.0
Somewhat of an improvementThe new Rocksmith+ offers some “quality of life” improvements over its predecessor Rocksmith 2014 Edition. That said the use of a microphone to detect the guitar means that there’s some lag when it comes to what you’re seeing and what you’re playing. The microphone also means it has to be close to the source or it will have difficulty picking up the sound. Which itself is an issue on a phone with a limited screen size, since you can’t always sit close to the source and have the phone at an appropriate viewing angle. Then the use of a Real Tone cable is insufferable since you’d need to buy a Lightning to USB 3.0 Adapter at an additional cost (without counting the cost of the Real Tone cable itself) And you might think “Well, the subscription works across platforms so I could play on my laptop” Well, not if it is a Mac. The computer version doesn’t run on Mac, so if you’re an avid Apple consumer don’t expect to use this on any device other than an iPhone/iPad. So in all you’d be paying $100 a year for an ambitious app that only falls short on its execution..X7onisama7xVersion: 1.4.1
Recognizes I paid, but won’t let me playI am super frustrated. I’ve been playing Rocksmith 2014 on my Mac for years, so when I saw this for iPad, I was stoked. Well, I have now paid since November and have not been able to access my paid subscription content EVER. I went to support chat, and it said they’d respond within 48 hours! I’m sorry, but a 48 hour response time does not constitute a chat. It’s not even an adequate response time for email.
When they did respond, all they did was send me a link to an article ( which I had already found myself) about the app sometimes not recognizing the subscription and to log out, and then log back in . First, it does recognize that I have a subscription. “The servers just need a little more time”…Well we are going on 4.5 months. Still not enough time apparently. Now I have to go through the hassle of getting a refund for all the money I’ve paid for a subscription I haven’t had access to, and the bottom line is that it seems the app is inaccessible, which is very disappointing and annoying. Why advertise something with this level of dysfunction?.Tru4u2Version: 2.8.3
Deceptive subscription cancellation procedureThis is unfortunate because the original rock smith game was great. This iOS version is janky at best, the music is abysmal, and Ubisofts account management is terrible. The subscription doesn’t show up in App Store subscriptions so you go to their website and get instructions to cancel. The instructions lead to an endless loop and the option to cancel they reference doesn’t exist (sent a screenshot to their support). You only get prompted to cancel by iOS if you delete the app (I assume that always works but no clue).
Support will not process the cancellation and asks for screenshots of their website which were already provided.
There’s no way to try before you buy unless you sign up for a year. So, I bit the bullet and paid for a month (didn't want to commit $100 before I tried the app) and decided it wasn’t good after a few hours.
I was going to part ways with no review until I saw how messy their account management is. So, this is a warning to others..NotAlreadyTaken8264Version: 1.5.0
Not worth a subscription feeI would pay a reasonable price one time for this app. In fact I have in the past on my Xbox. So I will not be paying for this application each year. What was wrong with the old model of paying for the songs you wanted and not paying for all the garbage I don’t want? Greed has ruined the whole gaming industry! 1st came micro transactions, now this new model! Do better!
So never mind the songs I have paid for on the Xbox and now can’t access on the new app. People would rather have something to show for their money not just a subscription. That’s why I will be getting a spark Amp. For less than 3 years of your subscription I will have access to jam tracks, the ability to learn any song and have an amplifier to show for my hard earned money! So good luck with you horrible marketing tactics! I spend my money on something tangible not a useless subscription service with horrible music selection..AZMAR2Version: 1.5.0
FrustratingI have been an avid fan of the rocksmith releases and have been playing them forever. Overall I have loved the concept and the delivery on consoles but I find the iOS app to be incredibly frustrating. For starters, after almost every song the app locks up and I have to close and reload. So progress isn’t saved at all. The song library is quite limited but I can see they are trying to grow it out which is appreciated but it is not enough. I use one of the Rocksmith cables so sound quality and the notes are recognized fairly well, but could definitely be improved. It seems any kind of fret buzz makes your notes or chords unrecognizable. I paid for the year and so will continue to mess with it but overall I recommend sticking to the previous Rocksmith releases and let the app fix these bugs first..Dan7554Version: 2.2.1
Y’all just lost my businessThe platform is great, the app is garbage! It keeps crashing, and when it doesn’t crash, it stops working when you almost finish the song, and sometimes the lesson doesn’t even load! My friend Omar just recently got a subscription, and he can’t use it either. We pay $140 a year for this service, this is unacceptable! This has been going on for over a month now! It started after a recent update. I guess I’ll never get to use this again. It was nice and cool while it lasted. Seems like Support doesn’t care either! I will not be renewing my subscription until this issue gets fixed! When I messaged the Support tab in discord saying the same thing, y’all banned me! I recommend everyone cancel their subscription, and subscribe to Yousician. It’s like rock Smith, and the best part is, the app doesn’t keep crashing!.It’s free for a reasonVersion: 2.8.3
I guess they don’t want money?Really wanted to play and enjoy Rocksmith, since I’ve been trying to learn the guitar for a while and have been looking for a more gamified way to learn. I got the app and signed up for a 1 year subscription with a 7 day trial, but couldn’t get it to work for the life of me. Every time I tried to play it said I needed to subscribe, even though I just purchased a subscription. No matter what I did I couldn’t get it to recognize the subscription. I tried logging out / back in again, using a new account only based off my Apple ID, merging accounts….but after about 2 hours of trying to figure it out I gave up. Reddit is full of people also saying that they can’t get the app to recognize their subscription and that customer support isn’t helpful. Good thing it was a trial and I’m not out any money. Typical Ubitrash.VencattVersion: 2.8.2
Let Users Actually Test It to See if it’s for Them!I am genuinely interested in this app and I can afford to pay for a subscription. It drives me insane however how you cannot see or use anything in the app before you subscribe. This is awful. It’s like asking someone to join a gym without ever seeing what equipment they have. Or signing up for a TV and movie steaming service without knowing what shows they have. Please, for the sake of common sense, allow people to use an app, even if it’s an hour or 24 hours, before needing to subscribe. Users should not have to subscribe (even if it’s classified as a “free trial”) before even seeing or using the app. I feel so strongly about this practice that I’m deleting the app and going elsewhere. If others feel the same way, that might explain why adoption of this app is so low..Light Beyond the CloudsVersion: 2.0.0
Nice try, but no cigarInterface is good enough, but not fun like the 2014 version - not to mention the song selection is abysmally bad. No two player, or shuffle play. Crashes often and settings/preferences need to be reset every time. Wouldn’t play music through hdmi, had to hardwire my headphones into my stereo because I guess they want you to use headphones on iPad?? Not worth the year price. Ending my 7 day free trial early, played the 12 songs that were good. If you are an expert level, it’s worth your time to play expert/proficient level songs, they were entertaining, but unless you have a nice setup, I couldn’t imagine enjoying playing off your iPad or iPhone and having fun for more than 2 songs. Going back to my PS4..MazzyrobVersion: 1.5.0
Doesn’t Come With Ubisoft+ SubscriptionIt should though I feel. Especially since there aren’t that many great songs. I’ll probably buy the cable for 2014 and just buy a few songs on there until they completely discontinue it or stop supporting it. Shame. We don’t need this app or you subscribing fees. We need updates and more songs to 2014. Also there is no option for 5 string bass only 4 which is confusing me three being an additional string. The tuner wasn’t very good either. My phone seems to work just fine with the fender tuner so it has to be this app that lately registers the notes. Also the sub price is expensive considering the lack of content for this app. I’ll be moving on now. So long as I never got to try the fish..DayrikVersion: 2.8.1
Rough mic detectionI just tried the iPhone version. It looks almost exactly like the desktop. It’s quite small during a song, so I had to get right on it to see. I wasn’t sure if the mic didn’t pick up well or the note detection needed more work, but the first song I normally do well at, it said I did about 50% accurately.
I tried the same song with the same guitar on a 2018 iPad Pro with built in mic and got 26% accuracy. The bigger screen makes it much more doable, but we need to know if we can plug in the cable with an adapter.
If I’m having issues like this after playing RS, 2014, and now Plus, a new person *will not* stick with it. I’ll stick to the desktop (until my current subscription expires).Tank2278Version: 1.4.1
Actual trash appHyper predatory and actually barely works anyways app. Using the iRig2 device to plug into my iPad had like a 240ms delay (which no other app has) probabl because it doesn’t support output to the iRig, only input. And this isn’t adjustable in any way to work with the song you are listening to. You can line up the screen to the song audio, but your guitar isn’t going to line up with it and on top of it it barely registers. So use raw speakers? Oh that also works like garbage. $140 a year for this is an absolute joke. Just buy the original rock smith, or pay one of those super helpful websites less for more help. Skip this please. Don’t let UBI scam you like they always try to do..PitfireXVersion: 2.5.0
Terribly unreliableI paid for a year subscription and I am currently trying to use the app to learn guitar. When the app works, it’s fantastic, but unfortunately about 25% of my play sessions are suddenly interrupted during a song as the app seemingly crashes. The music continues playing even after closing the app, which adds to even more frustration. On top of that, there are random errors on the menus, such as no new songs appearing for the monthly songs, the menu freezing after browsing with the search section etc. I can’t believe a paid subscription app can be this unreliable!!!.KellasmackVersion: 2.8.3
I don’t recommend for Apple usersThis is not available for Macs, so if you are an Apple user, you are stuck with the app. I was able to connect my guitar using iRig. The app works fine using my iPad’s speakers, but who wants to listen to music or a their guitar through iPad speakers. I connected my AirPods which created an unacceptable delay that could not be fixed by adjusting the settings. As there is only one port on my iPad, of course, I can’t use wired headphones and connect my guitar. My Mac mini has all the ports I need, but alas, there is no Mac version. I would stay away from the iPad/iPhone version. This may work ok on a PC..Chris Chicago 312Version: 2.1.0
Disappointed After downloadRight from the very start, there is no sound coming from the app from the opening video screen, I continue with the setup set up in hopes that it was just that video. but after the set up was complete, and connected to my keyboard via cable input everything registered as it should, but still no sound during gameplay I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app. that still hasn’t done anything except waste my time. very disappointment. and in case you are wondering, my volume was up at 79% at the time..Greenday10031Version: 2.3.0
Thank god I was refundedWhen Rocksmith stopped working on my Mac, I was pretty devastated since I had amassed quite a bit of songs that I had purchased to practice. I recently found out that Rocksmith+ works on ios and had to jump at the opportunity. After paying about $152 for the year, I continued to enjoy my 7 day free trial. Once the 7 day trial was over, I could no longer access my subscription. I spent so much time trying to find answers on the internet but nothing worked. Finally, I opted for requesting a refund which thankfully was granted. DO NOT BUY ROCKSMITH+ ON IOS..Clueless9110Version: 2.9.0
Not Built for Apple DevicesI bought a brand new iPad Pro (M5) and MacBook Pro (M5) with the main goal of using Rocksmith+. Ubisoft’s own site says I needed an audio interface, so I bought one, but now I find out that Rocksmith+ is not even compatible with a MacBook. So, I tried the iPad app. It takes forever to open, and when it finally does, I only see a log in screen. When I try to log in, I get a white screen. I tried deleting and reinstalling the app several times, but it doesn’t work. I give up. This is a huge fail and major disappointment..CMND/CTRL12Version: 2.8.3
NOT for overall learning or beginnersIf you want to learn a specific song or two this is a good place to learn them, if they are in the Rocksmith library.
If you want to learn to play guitar and plan to use their lessons, I would looks elsewhere. Their lessons go from learning a few cord and then jump immediately to moving all over the neck and fretboard in the next few lessons. Impossible to keep up even for someone who has been playing for a year with other learning systems. Wish I had seen a review like this before I paid for it..BagodixVersion: 2.2.0
DisappointmentI really enjoyed rocksmith 2014 and was hoping this would be an update, but it’s the exact same songs that were popular in 1980 just stuck on repeat. You can look up songs by age and in the metal and rock sections you’ve got link in park and paramore as the only things that are fresh post 2000. Everything else is mudvayne and other guttural garbage. Not even some stone sour or something that has actual guitar in it. But don’t worry, they updated the hip hop and pop sections. Cause when I think of “rock”smith I’m thinking of those..Dr. Hi KhuVersion: 2.1.0
1,000,000 Songs, None anyone’s heard ofI get it is probably something to do with copyright, but there are tons of songs, and if you like a song/band and search it, it’s probably not there. We don’t need a full discography of THE WIGGLES! Or tons of artists no one’s heard of. We get best hits on Rocksmith 2014. We get crap in Rocksmith +.
Not only that, almost all the songs are just chords. It is lazy. People need to learn riffs too. Chords are good, and can teach a lot, but it isn’t everything. The game was a million times better. Put some songs in it that people know..BraxtonJBGVersion: 1.4.1
Do NOT sign up for this money grabRocksmith 2014 is one of my most played games of all time. The initial idea of this game is incredible and I dropped hundreds of dollars in DLC as they released new content every week since its inception.
Cue the announcement of Rocksmith+ and the excitement of having Rocksmith with me all the time. I couldn’t have been more let down.
The cost is absolutely ridiculous. The UI is terrible. The song selection is laughable. I really don’t have anything nice to say about this app.
It is truly sad what this company has done with this game..JoshthewolfVersion: 2.0.1
Good thing there’s a free trialOver $100 a year to subscribe and constantly bombarded with network errors that force restart the app, losing any progress made in your current session. I have fiber 1GBPS and have literally zero issues with any other app, game, streaming, etc.
Very limited music selection, and dozens of songs just outright not including arrangements for certain parts of songs (solos, bridges, etc.)
It did improve on at least one thing, however. The visual/audio lag is leagues better when compared to Rocksmith 2014 when playing on a modern 4K+ smart tv.
I’m a self taught guitarist for going on 10+ years. I’ve always liked Rocksmith because it’s a fun, interactive way for new players to pick up guitar.
The idea for the app is good, it’s just not where it needs to be quite yet..Darth_DaveVersion: 2.3.0
Good but have a big problemI love the riff repeater—it really helps with tricky parts of the song. However, if you try to repeat the first bar, it doesn’t start from the very beginning; instead, it starts at 0:04, which doesn’t give enough time to prepare. I tried moving the phrase banner to the very beginning, but it still stays at 0:04. It’s really annoying and frustrating!
Fix that issue and it’s 4/5 stars!.CarlosDCEVersion: 2.7.2
I want to love it, but I don’t.I’ve been playing guitar for three years. I decided to try this out as though I was a complete beginner and found it difficult to get through even playing the first session of practice scales because the app keeps crashing during play. If I can’t even complete a single lesson, it’s pointless, which is SAD because the interface is FANTASTIC and this would be the PERFECT way to gamify learning guitar. IF it worked, which it doesn’t..Random GeminiVersion: 2.8.3
Do not purchase or use App on iPadPurchased a subscription at Christmas time last year. App stopped working over six months ago. Put in trouble tickets with Rocksmith + and Ubisoft all of which go unanswered. No developer support they take your subscription money and run. Have tried uninstalling and reinstall, wiped my iPad several times; and each time gives an error message. Avoid at all costs on iOS devices..Rocksmith + is a scamVersion: 2.7.2
OverpricedThe concept is ok but the library is very limited although it has a lot of good tracks and bands, it would be better to have the possibility to add music like a dlc artist or from music that you already own and the price is too expensive, I already payed one year, they promised Gojira for October but they only added pantera which sucks by the way..Jaft-Version: 2.7.2
Just buy Rocksmith 2014 instead.If you’re new to learning guitar, let me suggest buying rocksmith 2014 edition. You can probably get it for cheaper than one month using this app and you can use it to learn, FOREVER..Barry McKokkiner JrVersion: 2.7.2
Bad very badBlack screen and app crush.BMLMUSIQUEVersion: 2.8.3
Constantly freezesI couldn’t even play my first song, the app keeps freezing halfway through the song. I tried 5 times and same issue every single time on a m2 pro ipad.
I’m cancelling my subscription and will try yousician instead..Ricster20384Version: 2.8.3
HorribleThe app is horrible compared to the original for PC and Consoles. Timing is off, sound detection hardly works, and the tony screen doesn’t help at all. Would never subscribe to this..GimpyHandVersion: 2.8.3
Not very goodHard to configure. Could never get my iPhone to work as connecting device for the PC app. iOS version hears notes that don't exist (I got a 26% accuracy with no guitar in my hand!) Annoying feedback sound in my headset..Pbeau70Version: 2.7.2
Why!?!?!?I’m sure the app is great. But not everyone is a mindless zombie on their phone 24/7. Could we please get a version of this on xbox already? How am I supposed to use a tiny screen to play something flying by at high speeds? Great tool, stuck on crappy technology… 👎🏻👎🏻.Put it on Xbox!Version: 2.6.0
App no longer works on my iPadStopped working after IOS update. Runs but totally hangs while trying to start play a tune. And this is a subscription service so now paying for something I can’t use. Also have lost a lot of time trying to get it to work again with uninstalls installs. Very simple usage just my iPads mic and headphone play back..LusescruVersion: 2.6.0
Tricked me into subscribingOn the main page it shows songs by “The Smashing Pumpkins” and “The Killers” only to add “Inspired by” once you tap and open the song details page. I scrolled through the list and saw some songs I was interested in but realized they were crappy covers. I know this isn’t the point of the game but that wasn’t my experience with Rocksmith 2014. Seems disingenuous to say the wrong artist name on the main list. Fix it..MrchrispbVersion: 2.3.0
Terrible song selectionsThe app has every song under the sun except the one your searching for, was excited to learn some guns and roses and old classic rock yet it’s no where to be found.Evalution420Version: 2.2.0
Rocksmith you have changed… so i got to let you go…Can’t play on console, can’t transfert/ get back all my dlc from older version… can’t buy all the cool songs they had before because they removed it… so sad bye now.AdzhaterVersion: 2.0.1
Great idea, bad catalogueI don’t understand how and why you guys couldn’t kept the list of music and songs from Rocksmith2014, etc. It was so good. Now it’s 9000 songs no one’s knows about basically or the worst songs from our favorite artists 😅
I canceled my free trial. Will come back when you’ll put all the songs we had in the previous games..KevinfouilletVersion: 2.0.1
The plans aren’t affordable.They should have mentioned that there isn’t a free version. At the prices they are offering, just find a real teacher..Monster fighterVersion: 1.2.5
