Direct scrolling
Hello,
I find it quite frustrating that in the ios user interface you can’t scroll directly from the score and have to use the bottom control. It is not precise and if you want to just go back few beats without loosing tack it is not possible. It would be great to be able just to scroll back directly from the score.
Thank you6 votes -
Synthesizer sounds for Piano path
The MIDI piano sound is currently set to a default 'piano' sound only, it would be great if users could select their own sounds from a palette of presets, or the sound would be switched according to the song style you play (e.g. when you're playing accompaniment, it changes to a string ensemble, for example)
It's always possible to connect an external synth, in which case Yousician can send the appropriate MIDI Program Change messages to select the proper sound which is bundled with the song.

Musical notes and hearing
Musical notes lessons show different color notes as buttons. but adding the actual note in it would be helpful to improve musical hearing and remember notes with the actual sound.

Loog - 3 String Guitar
Please support the loog guitar (3 strings) i. Your app. I recently purchased a loog for my 6 year old because he wanted to learn to play the guitar and play it for his kindergarten class. It's a cool guitar although their app stinks. I tried many other apps but really liked yours. Some songs work but most don't, since he is using a different instrument not supported by your app.
You have a great app, cheers!8 votes -
Whistling module
My brother suggested that there be a whistling module (I'm thinking in Singing would be perfect), to help learn how to whistle in tune and I think that would be awesome! I've always been confused about what octave to whistle in, and it'd be great to learn to how follow music whistling, and I'd love to learn!

Give partial credit on chords with some dead strings
I think that giving partial credit on chords with some dead strings - say, points for the strings/notes that were heard/picked up/played correctly - could go a long way toward maintaining positive reinforcement. Many new players really struggle with chords, and have the app continually cut them off mid-song because they had too many things not perfect may be too frustrating. They should get some credit for getting things mostly right. This would allow for more fun due to a higher chance of reaching a high score each play through.

Ability to choose to remove the name of the cords when practicing to memorize the notes of each cord better
Memorizing the cords position on the scale is hard because it's name is always witen above the scale so I'm used to see the name not the notes that represent the cord on the scale. I ask you to add a feature that allow me to remove the name of the cord above the scale so every user can memorize the notes instead of the name because in usal we don't find the name of a cord upper the scale in music books and scales

Touchpad two finger scrolling
Scrolling through the song lists and screens on a laptop is quite awkward, having to move the cursor to the edge of the screen and then hold a click and scroll.
Would it be possible to add functionality to scroll with a double finger swipe on the touchpad?

Yousician team should be more active with the community
I find it very surprising that Yousician can afford not to actively foster the community of users and customers they have. I don't really see any comments from the Yousician staff to any of these ideas posted by users (it's free product development feedback!), nor do I see Yousician being active on the discussion forums. I understand that some decisions like removing the user generated content may not have been popular, but typically I would at least expect some basic level of decency with a proper thank you for the feedback even if there are no plans to react as…

Make a subscribtion that includes all popular songs but only includes one instrument.
Because many people like me can't afford to pay for premium+ just to get popular songs. Most people using yousician want popular songs but only want to learn one instrument, so I suggest we have a subscribtion between premium and premium+ which includes all popular songs but only one instrument of choice.
