Fabulous App

I have been trying to memorize notes on the fretboard for a long time. This app is teaching me them in a way that is engaging and fun.

Thank you very much Detta! If you have any suggestions or things you would like to see please feel free to reach out

Mandatory in app purchase

Contrary to some of the reviews, you cannot use this app at all without paying for it.

Hi there! After the free trial if you decide to cancel you can continue using it without some paid features such as the microphone trainer and daily coaching.

Learning the fretboard!

Finally found an app that just helps me learn where notes are the fretboard. And it feels like it’s helping me to do my best.

Nice flash card like quiz

It’s worked well for getting me up to speed. Not so good for mastery.

It needs a feature where you can drill on notes that are doing poorly in your heat map. I’d like to see it prioritize those notes when doing a full board drill, rather than keep bringing up the notes you’ve already mastered. Throw those in periodically, but the focus should be mastery of your weaknesses once you reach the full board.

I'm working on exactly that right now and will be released soon! Thank you for the feedback!

Really fun AND helpful!

I practice note navigation a few times a day with this app. I’ll even do it waiting between a set at the gym to kill 2 minutes and test my brain.

I wish I could go back to redo phase checks though for certain strings or sets of strings. Sucks you can’t go back other than custom quizzes. Wish you could create presets for quizzing speed and accuracy based on what you need vs never being able to go back,

Thank you for the review! This is indeed on my roadmap, I want to integrate previous phases so you don't forget them and keep practicing while you learn the new ones. Been busy releasing the Microphone Trainer in the past weeks but I will work on this next.

Excellent…

Perfect for the learning the fretboard inside out. Well done👏

Thank you! We recently released Microphone Note Trainer. Please let me know what you think!

Really cool app

I’ve been looking for a way to flashcard myself and this has been by far the best solution I’ve come across. That said, I wish there was some more control over some aspects of the app.

1) I wish I could go back to different coach sections.

2) I wish there was a feature for the Custom Note Quiz that would require me to select all positions for a note before it’s counted as correct. Right now if I select any one of them it counts as completed. I submitted a feature request so we’ll see if it goes in.

3) I wish “play along on your guitar” was a customizable game just like the custom note quiz

Hi Kyle, thanks a lot for the review and the detailed feedback! I took note of all your suggestions, and this will help me prioritize what to build next. Appreciate it! David

Just started using

This app is amazing! I wish you could decide what string to work on because I would love to review and practice

Response from developer

Thanks so much for the kind words and the review! You can choose which strings and frets to practice on Tools > Custom Note Quiz and select what you want to focus on. And if you want a more structured path, the Coach tab is our guided experience that walks you through the fretboard step by step. Happy practicing!

Nice Free Option for Fret Practice

Just got the app, and there are no purchases required! App offers note practice along the entire neck with some adaptive learning stuff and stats of your performance (like note heat map - which notes take you longest to figure out). My only feedback is that the app only quizzes you on the natural notes on the neck, no sharps or flats and there is no setting to enable accidentals. However I do think that learning the natural notes first is pretty good regardless.

Response from developer

Thanks so much for the 5 stars! We’re glad you’re enjoying the fret practice and the performance stats/heat map. Great feedback on sharps/flats: right now we start with natural notes on purpose, and accidentals appear in later phases as you progress. Also, we just released Play Along, you can practice finding notes on your guitar with backing tracks. Hope you like it!
