User reviews

Awful

Do yourself a favor and use literally anything else to learn riffs. This is not the way to do it. It treats the guitar like a monophonic instrument, plays all the riffs in the wrong positions on the neck, and does not teach you what you need to know. Not recommended.

Under-rated & Appreciated App

Dear Developers,

1st off thank you for & 2nd off
I believe with some very small changes this app could be huge and that much more of an excellent ear training tool.

Small Request: enable the riffs to shift/change keys / starting root rote. Ideally any key or at least be able to play all riffs in one universal key. Massive aspect to focused & intermediate ear training as well faster development.

That’d be the biggest game-changer update but if you made that change and/or also labeled notes on fretboard after correctly answered back by its degree of the major scale (or solfrege) according to the key/root it’s in. This app would be perfect and I’d pay accordingly. Besides this labeling being good for ear training it’d make the app also an all in one fretboard, scale & theory trainer!

Please consider possible changes similar to this. Regardless thank you for all your work & time to read this.

Sincerely,
Morgan St. Pierre

Response from developer

Thanks for your comments. Sorry it's taken a while to reply. You will have noticed that we have already implemented a transpose feature so you can change to any key/starting root note. Edit: We have implemented your other request. Go to settings for interval note names! Keep the suggestions coming to info@LearnToMaster.com

Counterintuitive

It took me forever to learn how to use this app... and I still can’t work out how to make a song a favourite. It’s got great potential and is a shame that it does not have more detailed instructions.

Response from developer

Thanks of the review. We ensure the instructions are more detailed. To answer your question, you click on the heart shape in the list of songs to make something a favourite.
