Decent
Couple of really annoying features:
1. Note accuracy is wrong about 15% of the time
2. Too quickly adds on more notes. I have a masters in education and have taught music for like 20 years (piano)...and the best way to learn is you have to build up enough repetition before attacking more difficulty. And this app doesn't do that. It just keeps pushing ahead. After only a few days, it's throwing way too many notes at me while I haven't mastered the first ones.

great app, missing one thing
great app, does what it should do but notifications are a must. i want to practice my notes daily but often forget, being able to have the option to have prompting notifications on the days of the week you select would be a great update ! PLEASE ADD NOTIFS!!!
👍
Super helpful, wish I would have found this years ago!
Poorly designed
Tried this, it forced me to sign up by email. Then followed the prompts for 5 string bass. Confusing and not well thought out. Went immediately to cancel subscription. Don’t recommend you waste your money
It’s worth it!!
What a great app, it’s helping me learn all the strings and doing a great job. Perfect
Seriously Great App
Easy and actually fun to use, there is a monthly paywall to access most of the features but in my opinion it is worth it as I memorized the entire fretboard in a month.
Exceedingly frustrating
This app would be decent but as it stands the progress meters will go down even when played correctly, so it takes forever to level it feels like luck rather than learning and makes the whole process a chore. Booooo.
Obviously not for banjo
Subscribed because it said it was for banjo also. Then it said it needed to set it up and that I should play “5th string/5th fret”….. on a banjo.
Consistently does not recognize notes
I'm in a quiet room, tried recalibrating several times - the app even recognized them in "audio settings", but when practicing consistently doesnt recognize G3 (and sometimes other notes), otherwise it's a great app.
Something is Working
I decided I want to learn all the notes across the guitar fretboard. I am practicing on guitar as mush as possible, but throughout the day I am also getting in mental exercises with this app (I use it without the guitar). It all seems to be working. I am really seeing the fretboard now and the patterns of notes. This app is exactly what I wanted to have. Something simple and fast to practice. And I think it’s really helping me because I definitely can find notes much better than before and am about 80% to knowing the whole fretboard without much hesitation.

Sensitivity
Just so-so, even after adjusting from normal to sensitive, especially on the thinner strings.
Best app ever
Thank you Ryan for creating this. It’s improved so much over time truly a blessing
worth the upgrade, but some bugs worth acknowledging/ ignoring
sometimes when you let a note ring out, the next interval will pick it up and flag you. mic sometimes flags correct notes. mic sometimes does not pick up notes unless you play loud or face your guitar toward your phone head-on. most of my frustrations with the app revolve around the app either not picking up enough sound, mixed frequencies messing with the detection, or being too sensitive to notes that ring out. don’t quite understand why it won’t recognize the correct note sometimes tho. overall good tool for learning it you stay on top of it and know when to move on (you will prob not master most of the notes because of mic issues).

very helpful
this app is extremely helpful for learning the fretboard! the only issue i’m running into is on the fourth string, the app consistently tells me i am missing B and C, even though i am playing the correct fret and it has no issue recognizing notes below those. there is very little noise and recalibrating did not help

I want to love this
This app is so good but I think there must be a bug because I get every note right but my progress bars go down and now I can’t progress! This literally could be the most helpful app in the world if you just fixed this
Teacher approved 👍
A friend recommended this app to me for teaching students the notes on the fretboard faster. I give it to all my students and as long as they put in a few minutes with it every day they learn so fast!! Great app !!
Bad
I’m so disappointed I really wanted to use it but it does not pick up my guitar for some reason and I’m in a quite room only sound is my guitar yet it does not pick it up
Great App may need algorithm work or improved feedback
Overall I love this app because it is exactly how I’ve been trying to practice the fretboard but it takes away two important time lags in that it tells me where new notes are and helps me randomly play one.
I am however currently stuck and I am not sure why… the app says I am playing all the notes correctly and gives no indicators that it is picking up extra noise but at the end of each practice most of my progress bars actually go down? If there is a timing element or if the app thinks I’m playing the wrong note then I feel like that should be given as feedback at the end. It tells you during the lesson if you play the wrong note though so is there a hidden aspect I don’t know about or is the algorithm struggling for some reason?
Edit: I’m reducing my rating. I love this app as a concept but it’s been a couple days and it’s just not useable. None of the progress bars go up, I can’t get past the A string despite playing the notes all correctly, extremely well, and at a quick consistent tempo. I’ve read similar reviews with the EXACT same issues that don’t haven’t seemed to be addressed so until it’s fixed I have to abandoned the app because it no longer serves as a learning tool.

Doesn’t work
Not sure if it’s user error but for some reason it’s not picking up the notes I’m playing?
New update ruined it
I used to love the simplicity of the app and how I could play past the 12th fret. Not I can’t and my mic stops working g if I adjust the settings. The bots also take longer to appear than the voice announced, things I did t worry about before
