Tone name with octave number

I would like to see octave numbers added to the alphabet.
Example, A1 A2 A3

Outstanding tool

I’ve played guitar and bass for years, I’m currently dedicated to bass and trying to fill in the blanks in my knowledge. This is worth every penny, one off payment for practice anywhere. Thank you so much for building this amazing tool!

Underrated gem of an app

I’m surprised this app doesn’t have more reviews and ratings. For £1.99 (no subscription), I have just learned to read the bass clef in C major without making any mistakes, in less than an hour. That alone is worth the money for something I have always been struggling to learn. I’m looking forward to continuing to learn with other app features and settings. The app may look basic, but it gets the job done!

Great Sight Reading Trainer

I truly enjoy this tool. As someone who’s coming to bass from keyboards and drums this tool has been exceptionally helpful in drilling sight reading for the bass fretboard.
