Awesome developer!
I have tried to learn a few instruments over the years, but have always been bound to chord charts or tabs. My dad plays by ear, and I have always wanted to speak his language. So when I acquired a stand up bass last weekend, I purposed to learn it differently. It has been so hard!!! But I know if I break down and switch to tabs, I might play songs sooner, but I won’t actually know how to speak the language of the bass.
So I downloaded a bunch of ear training apps and started digging into the lessons. This one is by far the most fun and effective!
I started to run into trouble though. The exercises were set up for a bass guitar, which is easier to play further up the neck than a stand up bass is (for a beginner anyway) So asked the developer if it be possible to change the setting for how many frets are included for practice to a lower number. And I’ll be danged! He actually responded (his name is Nick) and he did it! So now I can focus my practice on fewer positions (that’s what they call it on a stand up because it’s fretless) while I learn proper hand shape and gain strength and all that fun stuff. I love this app!

Response from developer
Sorry to hear it - I‘d be very grateful to hear more about it at nick@nosheet.app
My fave music learning app
App has great ways to explore and better understand the connections between hearing notes and playing them on your instrument, in ways that make sense harmonically and scale-wise. There is a lot to explore here and I feel like I’ve just begun to scratch the surface. Def recommend.
I’ve been looking for something like this!
I’ve been using NoSheet to work on playing within chords on my baritone ukulele (DGBE tuning), and it’s been genuinely transformative — the real-time pitch recognition and ear-training approach is a completely different (and better) way to learn than the tab-and-drill apps I’ve tried.
What really stood out: I emailed the developer asking about DGBE tuning support, and he added it within two days. That kind of responsiveness is rare.
Highly recommend for anyone serious about learning to hear and play music, not just memorize shapes.

Excellent app for ear training
I really have enjoyed using this app. I have been using since 4 months now and has been the only one that mixes music theory and guitar in a way that really helps me to learn and apply it. Kudos to the devs for all fixes and new features
