Great App for Drilling

This app is exactly want I wanted for getting the guitar fretboard more ingrained. My only criticism, and it is still a five-star app, is that I would like the notes to be chosen a little more randomly. The chosen notes often allow me to get them right only because the next note is very often just the next higher or lower note in the scale.

Not working

The metronome plays only one beat then it skips a whole range on notes. Totally unusable!

Response from developer

We have rebuilt the app from the ground up and fixed the issue with the metronome. I hope you will like SRM 2.0!

No Update since 4 Years Ago

The metronome does not work anymore. Please make it compatible with iOS 14.

5 Stars if you fix the Metronome

I just purchased this, and you guys have got to fix this metronome! It literally clicks once, which is not setting a tempo. Two beats are essential to set a tempo, and four counts (or however many would indicate the time signature) is standard practice.
Also, I’d like to set the note choices to just a few notes at a time. One full octave as the smallest range is too much for teaching beginner students.

I really like the layout, and would recommend this to my students, if the metronome is fixed and fewer notes could be selected.
Thanks
