Voicesinc.org for example stated that “If you’re happy to learn from a digital screen, then it’s great, but if you want a lot more human interaction and demonstration, there may be some better options.” As of October 2018, the Yousician app had 227,660 ratings on Google Play with an average 4.5 of the 5-star rating and on the iOS App Store 10,076 ratings with an average of 4.3 of the 5-stars. Yousician was featured two times as 'Editor's Choice' in the iOS App Store and won a "Best of 2016 Apps" award from Google Play. Yousician was one of "Wired's" top 100 European startups in 2012, and were also featured in "The Sunday Times" "World's Best Apps List 2012". Yousician and its apps have won several technology and start-up competitions, including SXSW Accelerator 2012 (Music) and Midemlab 2012. In June 2018 Yousician began what the company has called a "sunset of the song upload feature" which was completed with the October 2018 update 2.58 that removed all user generated content from the app. The removal of user generated content sparked opposition among some vocal users online. Coincidence with introduction of what Yousician calls "popular songs", licensed songs by well-known bands and artists, that was announced with the update 2.55 on 23rd of August 2018 led to speculation about the motives of the decision, however Yousician as a company has not elaborated on the reasons of their business move. The creators of Yousician had been sued by Ubisoft over claimed patent infringement on their patent U.S. Patent 9,839,852, for an "Interactive guitar game", which Ubisoft had used in their game "Rocksmith". In August 2019, a federal district court ruled that the patent claims of Ubisoft were too broad and not defined in enough specificity, nullifying the patent and dismissing Ubisoft's suit.
