# Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

#### Account and access

**Do I need a teacher to use Practick?**\
No. You can sign up as a solo student and access courses, practices, and exercises from the catalog directly through the app, without needing a teacher.

**How do I reset my password?**\
On the login screen, tap **"Forgot my password"**. You'll receive an email with a link to create a new password.

**I received an invite from my teacher. How do I accept it?**\
Tap the invite link before creating your account. The app will automatically recognize the invite and add you to the right class during registration. If you already have an account, just log in and the invite will be processed automatically.

**Can I use Practick through the browser?**\

#### Plans and PRO

**What's the difference between the Free and PRO plans?**\
See the full comparison on the Free vs PRO Plans page. In short: Free gives access to basic features (courses, tuner, metronome, and profile). PRO unlocks custom practice, AI practice, messaging with your teacher, and detailed reports.

**How do I upgrade to PRO?**\
Access **Profile → Upgrade** inside the app and follow the instructions.

**Are PRO features hidden in the app?**\
No. They appear normally with a highlighted badge. When you tap a PRO feature, the app shows the upgrade options.

#### Practices and exercises

**What is a Course, a Practice, and an Exercise?**\
These are the three levels of content organization in Practick. A **Course** groups one or more **Practices**, and each Practice contains a set of **Exercises**. Check the Glossary for more details.

**Can I create my own exercises?**\
Yes, with the PRO plan. Access **Custom Practice** and use the **Exercise Creator** to build exercises from scratch with tablature, BPM, and techniques.

**How does AI Practice work?**\
You enter a song or musical style and the AI generates a personalized practice with exercises from the catalog, taking into account your level and priority techniques. The feature is currently in Beta.

***

#### Metronome and Tuner

**Does metronome practice time count in the Progress Report?**\
Yes, as long as you link a technique to the session before starting. The time is counted under the chosen technique and appears in the report.

**Does the tuner work offline?**\
Yes. The tuner only uses the phone's microphone and doesn't need an internet connection.

**Can I use the metronome during an exercise?**\
Yes. The metronome is integrated into the exercise screen — you don't need to leave to access it.

***

#### Teacher and classes

**How do I register my account as a teacher?**\
During sign up, choose **"I'm a teacher"**. Your account goes into review and is approved shortly after. You'll receive a confirmation email when the panel is unlocked.

**Can I have more than one class?**\
Yes, with no limit on the number of classes.

**What's the difference between an email invite and a link invite?**\
The email invite is individual and goes directly to the student — they confirm and join the class. The link invite works as open access — anyone with the link can join the class, without needing a registered email.

**Does the student need a PRO plan to receive assignments?**\
No. Any student linked to a class can receive and complete assignments, regardless of their plan.

**Does the messaging system work for all students?**\
Messages are only available to students with an active **PRO** plan who are in a class with an active teacher.
