Not working properly
This was great to start with but now I can only access the campaign feature and not the advanced training. Any time I press the advanced button it just returns to the same selection screen.stephen62
Great app
I’ve used almost every method in the book to break through the mental block of learning the notes on the fretboard. This is definitely one of the best I’ve found so far. It’s super accurate when identifying what note you’re playing…and on your REAL guitar. So much better than trying to memorize the fretboard from a book or diagram. The instant feedback and stats are immensely helpful and motivating. I find myself trying for that perfect score to beat my best all the time. This app does a great job at “gamifying” learning the fretboard. Highly recommend trying it out.Show less2matt
Excellent
Well structured, great features and most importantly actually effective for internalising the fretboard note.Vanavic
Great App, But …
Guitar Blast is the best way to memorize the fretboard. However, the utility of the app is less than optimal because:
In testing the playback of notes within any given level, some notes are not recognized when played.
Within any given level, when a note is played that has more than one position on the part of the fretboard being tested, the playback of a note in one position often triggers the disappearance of both notes, as if each note had been correctly played back separately.
Any given level may abruptly close before it is completed with no registration of results before the next level is presented for testing.
There is a lack of effective monitoring, correcting, and updating the app.
A set of instructions on how to use the app would be very helpful.Show lessSankeshi

Dear Sankeshi, Thank you for your valuable feedback, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience. We've added a troubleshooting section in the Settings-Help area, offering best practices for improved note detection and gameplay. Here are a few tips: - Ensure your guitar is in standard tuning (EADGBe). - Use your iPhone or iPad's default microphone, as some Bluetooth headphones may delay sound capture. - Playing in a quiet room enhances the app's ability to detect notes faster and more accurately. Your insights are invaluable to us, and we're dedicated to continuously improving Guitar Blast. If you have any more suggestions or need further assistance, please feel free to reach out. Keep strumming, Guitar Blast TeamThe best fretboard learning tool that I’ve ever used.
I have been playing guitar for three years but have always had difficulty memorizing the notes on the fretboard.
This is the best app, and the best method, that I’ve ever come across to learn the fretboard. It is extremely well made, fun to play and very effective.
I highly recommend it and wish that I could thank the app’s creator personally.Show lessAlex_3337

So glad you found our app helpful! Your words made our day. Happy playing!Their app is useless after their new update
The app used to be fairly good even though it crashed often.
However, since the new update many features such as staff reading fail to clear the screen of junk … unusable.
Also, the app fails to rotate the correct way up (for those who have your iPad mounted or with the pencil attached by magnets).
For people switching between apps, it means you have to turn your iPad upside down.
Also, their Contact Us link in the app does nothing.
I bought this long ago but as the app no longer works I have to demand a refund from Apple.Show less32x31

Dear 32x31, Thank you very much for bringing this critical issue to our attention. We're actively working on a fix, and hope to solve in a few days. We apologize for any inconvenience caused. For any further requirements, feel free to reach us at guitarblastapp@gmail.comIt doesn't work
I was initially excited to see that app because it supposedly utilized digital processing to analyze the sounds coming from your acutal guitar instead of relying on clicking images on the screen.
The first exercise worked OK, but for every subsequent execise, it stared blankly back at me and didn't respond to my notes.
Yes, my guitar is in perfect tune, using both my own strobe tuner, as well as the tuner built-in into the app. Yes, I am using ample volume for the Macbook microphone to pick up the sound. Yes, I'm using clean tones without any effects that could alter pitch. Yes, I have a top-notch M2 Macbook Pro with the latest release of MacOS. So no, it's not "my setup" - this app simply DOES NOT WORK.
Looks like I can kiss 4 bucks goodbye...Show lessVinslom Bardy
Great
Good way to ‘really’ learn the notes on the fretboardtynfd6
Great, but…
Awesome for learning the fretboard, but the app crashes a lot. Also has some other odd quirks, such as will go from no sharps or flats to including these by simply restarting a session. Odd - but still a great app!Acbirdman
Best fretboard app
This is the best and most complete guitar fretboard app that I have found. Very worth the small price to getting better at guitar and finding the notes on the fretboard. Highly recommend!Johnsag
