At first glance this looks to be a killer upgrade!  I’m excited to dig in further,  app already warrants 5 stars.

Works great with Fretlight guitars, takes out the guess work on notations and finding any notes along the fretboard.

### 1/5 — Worst app.  Save your money

*2021-07-18*

This app is completely worthless.
