Bass is neglected
Bass program is very much behind compared to other instruments, to the point it feels like it was tacked on to make up instrument numbers.
1* Bass is behind on amount of Learn Mission courses, and lacks the more in depth instructions that is offered by other instruments.
2* There is no Learn Workouts Skill Builders: master essential techniques, which offers learning standard notation; ear training; scales; drills ect.
3* there is no Learn Courses.
4* Song release is terrible compared to other instruments or guitar. Sometimes bass goes weeks without a new song while guitar is a lot more regular. In fact often guitar gets 2-4 song releases at a time compared to 1 for bass.
In summery, I feel since I'm paying the same price as other instruments, I should get the same quality and attention as other instruments. This is a big source of frustration to me and other bass oriented players. It has come to a point we're I'm am wondering if it's worth me continuing with this platform or looking for a less biased or and more dedicated program.

And...the last bass song added to yousician, halleluja is not really a good song to begin with but this version is a terrible cover. So bad. C'mon.

Having to re-tune bass or click skip a bunch of times when switching between 4 and 5 string bass is pointless. You don't actually have to tune anything and it is an annoyance.
Yousician have been ignoring the bass with very poor and very few new songs. And many users have asked for a 5th string view option for all songs. You guys are not caring about bass that much anymore. I'm thinking it's time to cancel.

A lot of reactions to this on-point feedback, still no reaction from the YS-team.
You are starting to lose subscribers soon. Also this is not how you endorse a talent like Ellen Alaverdyan well. You should make her the proudest member of the family by putting up TONS of nice new content to our bass-family. Come on yoy guys ‘n girls! Just hear our plea! -

It's kinda funny that they seem to focus their time on guitar when most people buy a guitar and give up within a month or two. I imagine most bass players, once they figure they need an irig or something to interface with their device, stick with it much longer. Guitar = more people, higher churn, bass = less people, longer commitment.
Might be a great chance to turn Yousician into the only bass focused app out there. Maybe they've given up because of Rocksmith+?
Ultimately, it would be nice for Yousician to provide some official info for us the paying customers.

Hi guys, I'm glad you all are raising this issue of not providing anymore a new song since December-2022. The last one they added was "hallelujah" and then nothing. I did complain by sending an email to Support. Which is in the Philippines I guess outsourced. And they have no idea and keep replying copy paste the pre-written text. I have a feeling they have abandoned the BASS section at all. I am their member since 2016 and first, they took the YouTube feature from the Yousician with a promise to provide 2 new songs each week. And now all promises gone to the dustbin. To me, if they can't afford anymore providing new songs then simply put back the YouTube feature so we can generate our own favorite songs from YouTube. Membership fee is already huge compared to other ones and they should not ignore their paid members like this. I'm also thinking to end the subscription if they do not do what they promised.

After a massive hiatus of new song release in Feb/March, bass is given a lvl 3 to a song we already have (hallelujah). In the same time guitar got 3 actual new songs. Wtf this is bs. As soon as my subscription ends I'm gone, I'll also be telling everyone to skip yousician. Bass already has less content so how you have the audacity to charge the same price as other instruments is unfathomable.

Anyone notice that march 2023 after nearly 8. Weeks no song, we get a lvl 3 to a song we already have and guitar gets 3 new songs in that period? This is BS.

I totally agree and I'd also add that I find it really frustrating that many of the songs contain a mixed-in bass guitar with the audio, which is not helpful for hearing how your playing yourself.
The music for bass should have no bass at all (or at least the option to shut it off) and I'm not referring to the "play it for me feature" which is different again. This is bass that is actually recorded and embedded in the music mix.
The neglected bass on Youcisian has directly resulted in me terminating my subscription.

The song release on Yousician is not good enought. I really hope the bass section on Yousician gets an improvement, if not I am not going to renew my subscription

Came here to say this. More attention is needed for bass. It was going better for a while but now it like they’ve given up…

I wasn’t aware of this, as I’m only learning to play bass, but this is very disappointing to hear and shouldn’t be difficult to improve to meet the level of other instruments.

1 Song (if I were a boy) in one month is too less and I will not renew my membership next year.

I have started bass after doing Ukulele, and Piano - I have had a lot of enjoyment with all the instruments, but there does seem to be a lot of features and content missing for bass. Scale and arpeggio workouts would be a good start
