Really great! But…
Love this app. But as someone who bought it just to learn the note names on the fretboard I can’t believe there isn’t an option to choose just the natural notes or perhaps a key.
It seems like a small thing but having to practice with all the note names: natural, sharp, flat and enharmonic is too many when starting out.
Something as simple as a “natural notes only” option would be huge.Show lessDanny_369
This is the approach I ended up with after 45 years of playing.
Wow, where I would have gone if I started from here. I followed everything I just never had a place to start. I feel inspired to hit the woodshed again.
For physical limitations I had to go from acoustic guitar to electric, then to ukulele and now baritone ukulele. The loss of the 6th and 5th string really forced me to learn the 4th, 3rd, and 2nd strings that I only kind of knew. I can see where Solo where really assist me. ANY CHANCE FOR A BARITONE UKULELE PROFILE (d g b e)? :)Show lessjkjkfeiw
Abandoned by Developers - Decent App as it Sits
Good app for what it does, but don’t expect a ton of development or bug fixes / innovation from the developers. This was a fairly expensive application that has since been largely abandoned by David and Tom. I’ve had a few email exchanges with David about it and they always seem to have something in the works, but nothing ever comes of it.
So, for what this app does today, it works well, but when you purchase an app for $10, I’d expect a little bit more in terms of future updates and innovation. Personally it kind of feels like a money grab if I’m being honest.Show lessdadsoutrunning
Support completely unresponsive - zero.
Seems like a decent app. I needed help. I tried the FAQ, no joy for my issue. Sent an email to support. Waited 6 days, no response. NADA, NOTHING. I checked my spam and nothing. I initially rated as 2 stars as I figure the app must have some value, otherwise support gets ZERO stars. Update: Somone finally contacted me but then never answered when I gave them my original email. Now it has been a month! Totally unresponsive after I send emails to both email addresses. Can I PLEASE get a refund on this worthless subscription? If I pay for an app, I ought to get some minimal level of help. Total FAIL. I cannot give zero stars or I would.Show lessNoprndlhere
No gimmicks, just real practice!
As a guitar player of 30+ years, I understand theory and the fretboard. But putting the two together while improvising can still be a struggle (or to add flavor when soloing). This app is perfect for developing those quick mental and physical music theory connections!
The “flash card” style practice sessions are fantastic for the player that can play with ease but needs to sharpen those fretboard navigation skills.
If you are a guitar player that is beyond basic chords and scales, then this app is for you. Even if you are an advanced player, use this to improve your speed, accuracy, and sharpen your theory skills.Show lessxhosedraggerx
Game changer
This app if used properly will change the way you see your guitar fretboard forever. This thing has the potential to open your brain to see connections and patterns where before there was random bits and bobs. This could be the best gift you give to your musical journey.Sport

If you have patience on the initial setup and follow the tutorials, you’ll be using this app a lot. I’m glad a made the purchase.DemoTard
My opinion
Once I’ve learned to use it the way it is supposed to be used. I will give a much better review I’m sure.Ditty Mo'
Not for Beginners
Good app, if you already know the fretboard and notes of the scales. Only giving the intervals, and not an option to see the notes those intervals correspond to is frustrating. Seems a simple thing to add and open the usefulness to more folk. Especially as a paid app.Westrosi Resident
Very useful. Two suggestions.
Understanding and being able to find intervals in real time is critical to improving musicianship. I think this app will definitely help me with that. There are two features I can think of that would make the app better in my opinion. I’d like to see a built in metronome to optionally enforce steady time and it would be great if there was an optional visual representation of the intervals on a staff to reinforce recognizing intervals by sight. Thanks for a great practice toolShow lessfrontporchblues
