GuitarTracker

Not bad, but could use a little polish. Easy enough to figure out without using the built in tutorial. It would be nice to have the ability to differentiate between types of guitars (electric, acoustic, bass) and different types of pedals, and the ability to select certain types of gear in the showrooms doesn’t appear to do anything. Looking forward to seeing how much support this app actually gets.

It would be nice if the virtual showroom of the user could be emailed or sent via text so that the gear in the showroom could be viewed by friends

I was unable to register in the iOS app. I can see another reviewer had the same experience. I should have foreseen that as a red flag. I was able to register on their website. The layout is confusing with very little effort to design a user experience. It looks like it was created by programmers without the touch of a UI designer. It could use some help. It automatically added a bunch of tasks when you add a new instrument. But it isn’t clear if these tasks are automatically turned on or if they’re just suggestions. I can see evidence of either. This app is a very good idea but it just isn’t executed right. There should be some sort of a training wizard at the beginning to explain how all of this works. If there was some guidance I might think differently or find this usable. But as of now it is overly complicated with little instruction. I’d like this to be a tool that makes keeping track of guitar maintenance easier for me. But if I have to work hard to teach myself how to use it (and navigate around show-stopping bugs) it just isn’t worth it. I guess my excel document lives on. I appreciate & respect that the app is free & I am not being inundated with advertisements. Truthfully, if you can improve the UI and user experience design I would gladly pay a few bucks to use this. In the current state it just isn’t practical.
