I will pay anywhere from $1 to $5 to eliminate ads, so this is a good value, considering the free apps almost all have ads, if I recall. Or are provided by one of the larger guitar companies and promote their subscription/learning platforms?

I find the idea that $1 is a "hard sell" laughable, but unfortunately for software devs that is the world we find ourselves in when trying to monetize an idea.

Well, there are also already at least dozen free ones that allow to buy ad-less versions

and it's hard sell because you can just pick any of them, test to your liking and pay for one after using it.

Same. If I see a free app and a $1 app that does the same thing, I'll probably go for the $1 app.
