## What is NoSheet?

In any language, around ~1% of words can get you ~85% of the way to fluency. The same is true for music. Learn the basic vocabulary of modern music with NoSheet, and learn to speak music.
NoSheet teaches it ear-to-instrument first, because you don't want to just be able to read a language - you want to hear it and use it. Become musically literate, and skip the middle step of opening your laptop and finding guitar tabs, piano roll, or sheet music. Learn to play by ear what you’re likely to hear and the gap between hearing something you like and playing it is bridged in a new, more direct, more powerful way, that allows you to create the sounds you want to hear spontaneously.

Playing with your instrument at home or tapping away on the train, NoSheet will make you a wiser player with every session. Engaging gameplay teaches you music theory & trains your ears without monotonous drilling.

- for guitar, piano, bass, ukulele and mandolin
- find notes & intervals on your instrument, with your instrument, by ear
- chat with our scatbot when you need help
- find melodies in loads of scales & modes, with challenges of varying difficulty
- learn what scales contain: intervals, triads, tetrads, & pentatonics
- learn chord shapes & pick chord progressions by ear
- sing & sight-sing to connect voice and instrument - audiation, powerful!
- learn to improvise by playing endless melodies & harmonies 
- plan powerful practice sessions

NoSheet is the only app that liberates your playing, taking you from being bound to guitar tabs or piano roll to playing freely - it is the only app that effortlessly teaches you to improvise. NoSheet bundles ear training and music theory into an ever-growing library of games with unique lessons that do precisely that.

Surprise yourself with how instant the connection between ears and fingers can become. You may find that it feels almost automatic, like your mind is being bypassed by a direct connection. Your ear and fingers know, when your mind is still thinking it through. This is what you really want - to let your ear, or what you want to hear, guide your playing.

Sing the degrees to develop an innate feeling for melodic function. Connect your voice and instrument to start picking the melodies you imagine.

### 1/5 — Sheety

*2026-03-27*

Even after I subscribe it keeps bugging me to subscribe.

**Developer response:** Hi, sorry about this, the issue has been fixed. Hope you’ll give NoSheet another chance :)

### 3/5 — Love it but

*2026-02-04*

Some users will need time to hit the notes and answer in between hearing the notes. It’s just impossible to do it quick on the guitar. So I just tap it on the screen but then even on the screen, I’d answer  correct and it still doesn’t take it. So it can be a bummer. Otherwise great concept I did enjoy it just the challenges part just has a short window to answer I think. Idk I’m probably just slow🤷🏻‍♀️ ill come back and hopefully there’s a bit time to answer or at least read the note correct when it’s actually correct!

**Developer response:** Hi, thanks for your review! NoSheet has several untimed games where playing speed isn’t an issue. I assume the input evaluation issues arose because the timing system wasn’t explained clearly enough - the newest release contains a detailed explainer of this, if you’re willing to give NoSheet another chance :)

### 1/5 — Oops

*2026-01-12*

Just bought and notice that the app is glitchy- the interval match game shows root, third, and octave. Tones to match are root and second- no way to match. 
Feedback ‘arrow’ doesn’t work… 
(Dev team- I’ve got a screen recording of the glitch if you’re interested)

**Developer response:** Hi Jon, we've fixed the feedback button thanks to your message, but are struggling to reproduce the interval matching issue - seems to work as expected on our end. Are you talking about the introductory 'intervals' game, or the chromatic 'interval dance' game? Is your instrument tuned/intonated regularly? Cheers, Nick

### 5/5 — Fun and Educational!

*2025-10-04*

The gamified experience makes learning music theory fun. It is challenging at first, but with repetitions you learn how to maximize the benefit of the app. Will be keeping this app in my routine and looking forward to further updates!

**Developer response:** Thanks for your review, enjoy!

### 1/5 — Can’t use

*2025-01-25*

A display came in the screen while using the app “we need to authenticate you to ward off sneaky cost-cutters” … does not make sense.  Restarted the app many times but could not get past that.  Deleted. Strange stuff.

**Developer response:** Hi, sorry about this! Had tried to set it up so that people don’t need to add a payment method to trial the app, but removed it due to the added code complexity, and hadn’t corrected the network check… thanks for letting me know, should be fixed in this update!

### 5/5 — Für Anfänger und Fortgeschrittene einfach super!

*2023-12-12*

Ich nutze die App jetzt schon seid einer Weile. Sie unterstützt mich beim lernen seid dem ich mir eine Gitarre geholt habe. Sie bringt mir immer noch jedes Mal was Neues bei und hilft mir sauberer zu spielen.

### 5/5 — Phenomenal App

*2023-02-06*

From the app design and user experience to the unique learning approach, NoSheet is a phenomenal app! I look forward to seeing how this app progresses and highly recommend it.
