Leave a Review Fretonomy
Great App! Worth the fees.
If you are becoming an intermediate guitarist who wants to learn more than a couple chords and the Pentatonic scale in one place on the fretboard , this app has everything you need to go to the next level. This app is complete and teaches the basic fundamentals of music theory and how to apply. 5/5.
Memorization of the fretboard is key!! If you really want to learn how to play through songs and play more than just the easiest rock songs, you need this knowledge. If you practice every day and implement this app in your learning and practice, you will most definitely get the results. You will be a better Musician as well as being able to apply music theory applications to the guitar itself.
I understand most people would rather pay a one time fee, I would too, but for what you’re getting, it’s absolutely fair and if you can’t do the yearly, download the app. you really can’t do much without paying but you can get a feel for the app. If you think it’s for you, 2.99 a month is pretty fair. I don’t know why everyone seems to think that this should just be free for everybody or not worthy as a subscription. Someone put a lot of time in this app; for what you’re getting, it’s pretty reasonable.
Tell me a place you can get one 45-minute guitar lesson that’s cheaper than the price of this app.

Super mais …
L’appli est super, mais il manque un élément très important. Il faudrait y intégrer l’utilisation du micro du iPhone ou iPad pour détecter la note jouée directement sur l’instrument de musique. Cette fonction serait très utile pour entraîner la mémoire mécanique des doigts sur le fretboardBasdelaine
So great (one complaint)
This app is honestly the only thing that's made me legitimately start to learn the fretboard. The monthly cost is well worth it. My only gripe is a small bug where say I'm playing the "name note" game. Typically, when you touch a note, the note will sound out (this is an option). If I exit the app and then come back in the same session, the note no longer plays, and I need to close the app and restart it. Again, I love the app, but this really annoys me lol. If it's fixed it's an easy 6/5 stars.Show lessAtay123456
Still has bugs
Quite good, a useful learning tool. I haven’t got fully to grips with it yet BUT the star awards need fixing. You can get all the answers right, and it indicates a gold (or bronze if you made an error) but that does not show in your personal achievement chart. Very frustrating if you want to track your progress.Show lessx7y2pb1x
Developer Response
Hello x7y2pb1x, this should be fixed, but if you are still seeing this issue, and you have time, please contact me at contact@strongapplications.com and I will fix it immediately. Sorry for the inconvenience caused by the bug, and thank you for your feedback and support.One suggestion
I know all of my scales, and use this more so to help me look at the fretboard when arranging or reharmonizing charts if I don’t have my guitar handy. Especially if I’m on a train or plane or something like that. I’m not sure if this is a feature I just haven’t struck upon, but there should be a setting where all of the notes on the fretboard are just labeled and you don’t have to pick another scale in the scale explorer to find the chromatic notes. Or just put the chromatic scale in the scale explorer please. Thanks 🙏🏻Show less🍤🍤🍤🍤🍤🍤🍤🍤🍤🍤🍤🍤🍤🍤
Subscription Model
Why does an app like this require a subscription model?
I was just playing around with the app. I wanted to learn scales and chords for the mandolin - and it appeared that this would be the best app to learn these music theory concepts, especially as it contains a variety of fretted string instruments, such as guitar, ukulele and mandolin - along with options for various number of strings of these instruments. It also has a layout where I can visually see the fretboard.
So I am exploring the app and going to the scales and chords for mandolin - and I see that in order to unlock the other scales and chords, I have to buy Fretonomy Premium. So I go to the app, assuming that it will just be a one-time in-app purchase - or I could upgrade to the Pro version in the app store.
Then, next thing you know, it gives me the option to subscribe for one month or the better value to subscribe for one year (33% off). What? I really cannot support this business model. I should be able to own the app and use it at any time after purchasing, without having to continue paying on a continuous basis. It is bad enough that most music educational places that give lessons require you to pay for the month up front, I cannot tolerate this model coming down to an accessory for learning music. This should be a purchase and be able to use for the life of your music education resource.Show lessJJ_TennisFan-PingPongPlayer
10 star app
This is such a deep app.
I have learned so much from this already and I have seriously barley scratched the surface.
I was absolutely hesitant about doing a subscription service, but this is so worth it. I am worth spending a tiny amount each month to learn theory and better myself at what I love doing and what I am lucky enough to get to do for a living. Thank you for this AMAZING app.Show lessMoneypuppet
Disappointed by Subscription Model
I used this app a couple of times in the past when it was called FretTester, and it was a great, free tool for learning the fretboard. However, I'm disappointed by the recent transition to a subscription model.
The app's functionality hasn't significantly improved, yet it now requires a monthly fee. I won't support this irresponsible model, especially for apps that don't provide ongoing hardcore services. After all, my computer and my power bill are doing the heavy lifting for this app. I want to own my apps; I don't want to pay rent for things like my toilet, my door, my carpet. I'm willing to buy a pro version, but not pay rent. I won't be using it anymore due to this change and hope the developers reconsider their pricing approach for loyal users like me.Show lesscpenaranda
New user learning notes
I’m using the app to learn the notes on the 1st 12 frets, the zoom feature is nice but I need an option to ‘always show the nut’ so when learning frets 5-7 say I see the the note in context of the nut.PaulEdwardsDriscoll
Love the app, but..
This app is awesome for learning things, though I did notice under the lessons they call the 6th string the 1st string and the 5th string as the 2nd string etc. (counting them reversed) which might really screw someone up that’s brand new to guitar. I would also love to see some sort of flash card system where they give you a note to play, and it listens for you to play the correct note. Would still highly recommend this app, as it does a lot of things that I’ve been looking for.Show lessMynzai
