Very Helpful App!

Daily use of the quiz mode has definitely helped my sight reading. And the setting options are great. And I LOVE the horizontal option! When horizontal, the fretboard is slightly skewed to give it a perspective as if you were looking down while holding the guitar. It’s great!

Revising prior review (Sound does not work)

The developer quickly responded to me email and helped me resolve the problem. My iPad has a “mute” button that is separate from the volume control. Although all my other apps had sound, I had to turn mute off for this app, which now produces sound.

Actually teaching boy the stave!!

Wow - this app actually has my son engaged with trying to find the right frets. BRILLIANT. Highly recommend this for newbies to reading music and playing guitar.

Great for guitar sightreading and fretboard memorization

This app was perfect for an intermediate guitar player looking to perfect sightreading. You’ll want to dive in to the options to set the keys that you want to learn and, if you’re like me, to set the mirrored view so that the low E string is on top. Easy to configure speed of testing.
