    Horrible
    This is the least intuitive interface I have ever used… and I have designed user interfaces. There are no clear instructions and there is no easy way to start using it. Am I supposed to follow video instructions to learn how to use a $5 app? Even the iPhone itself doesn’t require institutions. Ridiculous. Show more

    Can't see any menus
    Doesn't seem to work properly. I’m on the m1 11inch iPad Pro. I can’t see any of the scroll menus or able to customize any options. I can hear it scrolling and if I just play with it, it will end up on various exercises, but it is all grayed out. Please fix the menus. Show more

    Pass on this one
    No instructions, website doesn't display this version that I can see. YouTube demos are the same; those don't show what I have. I'll figure it out eventually but who needs this BS? Show more

    Good idea... but...
    update: - The chord quiz makes no sense whatsoever. It shows the answer prior to user's attempt (in the case of first inversion it's always the top highlighted note). What's the point? Appears to be a result of the interface's limitation of only making available notes with the little white tabs... pretty silly. - Tools menu disappears randomly. - Also, crashes often. - Was REALLY hoping to find a customizable chord quiz app, but given the state of the basic app here it's impossible to see the point of spending anything for "added features" that aren't likely to be any better. -------------------------------- Probabaly one of the best BASIC ideas of the available guitar sight reading tools, but flawed, messy, and with many problems. GOOD: - Shows whole fretboard, which is important to get a full understanding and feel. - Can select by keys, individual notes, or complete specific strings (the last is very useful, and lots of apps miss it). BAD: - Interface is cluttered and unnatractive. - When timed exercise option is turned off (which is selected by setting time to "on"?????) the time is still shown. Unnecesary and distracting, especially for younger kids where a "no pressure option" is helpful. - When notation-to-fretboard is selected, most of the screen is taken up with a huge "string and note" text listing, while the notation is at the bottom right. Defeats the purpose, and is cumbersome because eyes have to jump all over the screen. Notation is the point with this selection, and SHOULD be prominent. - Custom exercise settings are not saved, must set up each time. Show more

    Needs a landscape mode
    Had no problems figuring out how to use it unlike the posters below me. It's actually improved my memorization better than any method I've tried. But yeah, since you play guitar horizontally, it should have a proper landscape mode. So 4 and a half stars. Show more

    Special E
    Easy to use and I'm finally learning the notes on the fretboard. 5 minutes a day, that's all it takes. Well worth the small investment!

    Don't get it
    This was really stupid. I'm glad I only wasted a dollar. There are a bunch of way better guitar aps for free. As previously mentioned there are no instructions, I was hoping to get a fingerboard learning tool but it's just a really lame game with no help how to play. Save your money and keep looking.

    A little lost
    I like the application, but I wish there had been clear directions. I had to figure out what to do and how. Otherwise, looks like it will a be a good tool to help learn the fretboard. Show more
