Challenge your musical skill with Interval by determining which chord was played. For each puzzle, three chords are played with the musical notation displayed for the first two. The third chord will be one of four choices displayed - choose your answer by touching the right chord. The point value for each game will be added to your score for the correct answer, but half the points will be deducted for each wrong one. You can play the three chords as many times as you like, and you can move on to the next puzzle without answering and without penalty. Your musical knowledge will increase with repeated playing of the game. You can choose between piano and church organ for the game's instrument.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Interval min at none against Fretboard Learning's 2. Interval min also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Fretboard Learning's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 7 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fretboard Learning sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month. Interval min asks for nothing beyond the download.
Interval min holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fretboard Learning has 485 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Interval min's written reviews are positive against 70% of Fretboard Learning's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Interval min ships an update every 7 months, Fretboard Learning every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
