Love \ glitch

When setting intermediate parameters for learning a segment of the Fred board, I get a message that a note could not be found yet the settings were allowed

Incorrect interval charting

I haven’t verified the other game options it has but if you’re like me and want to be able to identify intervals on guitar, know that this app does not recognize 4ths as being on the same fret a string over but rather one lower. If it didn’t have issues like this it would be a great tool.

Amazing app!!

I love this app. It incorporates so many apps in one πŸ‘ Also very well designed and extremely easy to use.

Buggy

UI is buggy, can tell it’s not built as a native IOS app as the app corners cut in on the slight radius of iPhone corners.

App loses track of its orientation if orientation lock is on (found while trailing the song writing feature)

When trialing the tap to find chord in the app the menu box covers half the screen. Not worth attempting to subscribe.

Finally a good app for the mandolin

I started learning the mandolin and hit a plateau in music theory. Videos and unguided research helped with technique and really basic theory, but I felt so scattered not knowing what to focus my practice on. I also prefer playing Blues, so I tune down a whole step which made learning scales more difficult. Not only does the app give organization to my study, but I really appreciate it having a feature for custom tuning.
