Yousician should provide users with usage and practice time statistics.
If something is not measured, it cannot be improved - William Thomson, Irish Physicist So my suggestion is that yousician gives us acces to our statistics, total practice time, practice time by the path chosen, how long did we take to move up to another level, time spent on the challenges, on the missions. Anyway, I'm sure this would help plenty of users that would be able to improve their performance and invest their time on what's really the issue for us. Tks!

Display Instrument when user logs in
Have the name of the instrument be displayed by the level. Not a big deal. If it doesn't happen, that's okay too.

bonus High Score Algorithm - extra points for playing all parts of a song perfectly - on a single shot!
If i play a complete song in one and played it perfectly, i should get more Points than playing it ten times which failure in different parts. Currently, in sum - all parts were played correct - one after another....
=> When i try to reach the maximum Score, i can trick:
Play the whole song to start the n-th parts with a level "5" (1000) per perfect note played.Therefore, i suggest to give e.g. 1000 extra points for playing a whole song in one shot perfectly.

Every week issue popular songs particularly with riffs so beginners can start to develop their skills.
Every week there should be a couple of riff challenges from random songs, each with different difficulty levels. This will help novice yousicians like my self develop their skills and help us start to learn songs. Keep jamming fellow yousicians

Piano Version: Timing accuracy information during play
The guitar version has accuracy notifications that fly off the notes during play, a feature that is missing from the piano version. I'm personally struggling with timing accuracy (I'm always early:P) and having a live indication of how I'm doing will help immensely.
This notification should range from Good/Great/Perfect, with a color difference that indicates whether or not you were late or early.1 voteHello,

Delay song start.
When playing free version and the ad plays between lessons, It does not delay the start of the song. The song starts and plays in the background all while the ad is playing. As a result you have to start the song over. I have noticed this does count against the free time for a non paid user.
3 votesHi everyone, and thank you for your feedback. This has been fixed.

Correct the color for slides (and some hammer ons and pull offs)
The color of the notes in the slide section is often wrong. Since a slide should be done with one finger, the color of the note before the slide should be the same as the color of the note after the slide. This is mostly not the case, indicating that the color coding is incorrect.
A few hammer ons and pull offs have the same problem. The notes before and after the hammer on or pull off should have different colors, since they are played with different fingers. This is sometimes not the case.
Please fix these wrong color codings…28 votesHi everyone, and thank you for your feedback!
We are glad to announce an improved finger color algorithm that, besides other corrections, prevents slides from being incorrectly shown.
This is now available on the desktop (PC/Mac) version of the app and will be implemented on Android and iOS on the next mobile update.
Have fun!

Add Tuner Option to the Settings Page
I would like to be able to ensure the rig is connected and working properly prior to playing in a lesson. Could you put an option to go the tuner from the settings page? It gets aggravating to have to start a lesson or song then go to the tuner.
15 votesHi everyone, and thank you for your feedback!
I am glad to announce that after the last update, you can enter the tuner by simply clicking the tuning icon at the top of the app (near the “Settings” button).
Rock on!

Find older challenges easier
It would be good, if I could find older challenges easier. Now I have to search "Yousicians" and see through a lot of songs to these songs. There could be a folder, like in GuitarBots.

Options in setting for use of accoustic or electric guitars. So far I've made it to level 4 with the acoustic guitar.
This should allow the mic to accurately reconize the different tones and adjust for skill level.
I'm sure electric guitar will be much easier to level up.
I'm using a Takamine acoustic/electric not plugged in with headphones. My Volume is at 80% on the iPad Air 2
Note : sometimes it doesn't pickup my notes unles I'm perfect and loud. It's a great workout. I'm sure when I start having problems completing missions that I will switch the the Les Paul on the Marshall.
Cheers,1 voteHi Chris,

GuitarBots library of songs be addded to Yousician
Seeing as we're not going to get to play GuitarBots any more.. it's seems only fair that the complete library of songs we were working on go with us... All of the songs, of the advanced, expert, and weekly challenges, sections.. that aren't already added.. Should be added to Yousician,.

The results page show at least the top 20 high-scorers
it's great to be visible.. to have a top 5 spot... but, I really liked being able to see who was just outside that winners circle, when we had top 20 post in the GuitarBots forum.... and it really gave people who are just getting started with the guitar (like my kids) a bigger target to aim at... that they could hit sometimes.... I think modifying the results page would accomplish the same thing... as it is.. the leaderboard tab at the end of a song.. shows the same thing as the results... we should be able to scroll down…

Prevent the "Option Wheel" from hiding the notes while paused
When you hit pause the "Option Wheel" presents itself for you to select tuning, practice mode, etc... Well this also covers up a significant portion of the music score and the notes on it. Sometimes I need to pause and look at the notes while they are static in order to practice or memorize them. Having them hidden by the wheel doesn't help this.
I think you can do something to fix this. Maybe make the wheel smaller or maybe a different shape altogether so that you can see all the notes. Also don't cover the chord shapes while in…
