Gets the job done, but doesn't justify $1.99 with such a limited function. The distributor also has not updated this app since 2013. The layout looks like it's made for iPhone 3. However it does get the job done and force you to memorize the notes on guitar from various perspectives. My biggest critic is, it doesn't track your performance. It tells you at the end at each run, but your scoreboard stays empty. Great concept of an app. Can be quite the niche, but can use a lot of improvements. Show more

A mode I think that would be immensely useful is find all the Es, find all the As etc. as it stands now it feels a bit random and a little hard to make connections. Show more

This is an OK first attempt. Adjusting the volume is a minor PITA. Should be adjustable from within the app. It would be awesome if the app could take audio input instead of just the little keyboard. I.e. Use a played note to verify. Show more

You can't always carry a guitar around with you but you can always carry this guitar fret board assistant in you smart whatever.

Lots of little bugs with recognize touch presses. It makes me happy to be learning but the app gets in the way so much that I want to throw my phone sometimes. Still I don't know any better way to learn the fretboard. Show more

I really enjoy the app and I've gotten decent at reading the fretboard backwards, but a lefty setting like you have on ear training tool would be awesome. Please add if it's not too much trouble. Thanks! Show more

This app is fun and challenging. We become better guitarists when we are familiar with all of the notes on the fretboard. Justin has done a great job with this app. I'm going to use it with my guitar students. Thanks Justin. Show more

Wish I could find a way to see a lefty fret board.

It could use a lot of work. Sometimes I have to tap the notes several times before it will actually register. The way you want to practice should be customizable as well. I would like to be able to practice notes on each string individually and it would've been useful to have that option. It's still not the worst, but not worth paying for. Show more

All three apps from Justin are top educational quality and value. Outstanding!

If you like Justin , you'll like his app.

This app made a HUGE difference in my ability to find my way around the fretboard. Thanks, Justin!

When I saw a Justin Sandercoe App, I knew it was going to be good. In 10 minutes the Octaves Method stuck in my head better than in the previous 3 weeks. Perfect for where I am on Justin's intermediate method. There are a few bugs. Adjusting the volume is kludgy. Using the buttons on the iPad you could only adjust the volume when a note was playing, otherwise it was just adjusting the sound effects. Similar effect on the iPhone 5. When a note wasn't actively ringing out, the buttons defaulted to the ringer. A few times the sound cut off entirely on the iPhone. I haven't tried the Memory Quiz options yet, but it is already worth more than the purchase price. Show more

This app is fantastic for right handed folks but doesn't have a left-handed toggle. Don't let this turn you away from the app if you're one of the majority but be warned if you're left-handed. Show more

I can't benefit from this app (i.e. use it) until this is resolved, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed (on my left hand--I can still hold a pick that way) that I'll see an option for a left-handed fingerboard orientation on the next update. Once that is resolved, I'll add more stars, as I'm sure I'll love it. BTW, the sound works fine on my 2nd gen iPad using iOS 6.0. Show more

with that feature this app would be perfect!

PLEASE ADD A LEFTY MODE! This app will definitely help you learn and it is a clean simple interface. Most digital aides have a lefty mode and I have gotten used to it as a lefty. I will give it 5 stars once that is added. Show more

Please make it a little easier for us beginners by showing just six frets at a time instead of 12. Thanks and again, a great app.

Would love to give this app 5 stars as I love most of Justin's products, but I can't seem to get the sound to work on this app which is very disappointing. Everything else about it is great. Show more

When you tap a note on the fretboard it either doesn't register or registers on an adjacent string or fret. Don't waste your money on this POS!
