Highly Anticipated, Well Received
Great beginner and intermediate Ukulele with some cool tech.
It is very well made and sounds great. I have been a musician and recording engineer for most of my life and got a music theory degree in collage. This instrument and the tech behind it has made learning this new instrument easy and enjoyable, from the built in tuner that connects with the app to the the lessons in the app it is a great learning experience. I love the lights on the fretboard both visually as well as an aid in learning the instrument. The only thing I don’t love is the nylon strings however I am grateful as I do not have callouses and I know that steel strings would be more difficult in the beginning. So even that is well thought out. The instrument is well made and sounds great.

Lightweight, tough, nice sound, but the app could be better
This ukulele is lightweight, comes with some accessories like a strap and stand, and has a nice sound to it. The app could use some improvement, but for the ukulele itself, I have no issues. Since it's carbon fiber I don't mind my kids using this and if it gets a little banged up...well, it doesn't, really. It's sturdy and can take a drop (not that I encourage that!). Nice value for the price, especially with the extras.

Ukulele for Beginners.
This ukelele is great for learning and the LED guidance lights look so cool. My son started using this at 3 years old. He doesn’t know what he’s doing but with the beginner courses on the phone and the ability to have the lights for guidance, he feels like he’s accomplishing something and it keeps him entertained.

Loses connection constantly.
The practice software is buggy. No pickup for a digital Ukelele. The connection is micro-usb. The Ukelele itself is an okay beginner uke. Missing most electronic features for an electric instrument. No built in pickup, no tuner, no way to customize the lights on the fretboard.

Fun, educational toy.
I am 50 years old and have taken multiple lessons to learn both piano and guitar from instructors and I always lose interest after a while and having to travel to lessons becomes a chore. I like the lighted fret board and that you can learn at your own pace. The only hassle is with the cheap strings that I always have to tune the ukulele every time I start a new lesson or in the middle of a lesson even.

Neat idea for a ukulele.
I had been watching this Uke since it was a Kickstarter campaign. After a couple of years, I found this on sale for under $100 so I took a chance with it.The LED lights in the fretboard also work very well. You can customize the LED lights, which is cool, but I wish you could customize them with the song trainer to a song of your own creation.
Morgan
Unusable in current model.
In order to use this ukulele, you need to be able to connect to the Bluetooth on your phone or tablet. This is spotty at best. In addition, the app is almost unusable. I only lasted less than 20 minutes total. While learning, you cannot speed up or slow down the songs, its an all or nothing speed. It is convoluted and not easily navigated. The ukulele itself sounds very nice for what it is. Lightweight. The lights for the fret board are white. While not bad, they should be in conjunction with what is in the app and color coded.

COOL & CUTE ukulele!
I’m so in love with this ukulele! It’s one of a kind. It doesn’t only have a cute and fashionable look but also with an advanced technology system which is so much easier for a beginner to learn this instrument.
