    Fret and staff makes no sense
    With 6 string guitar with standard tuning the notes shown on the staff do not match with the correct note on the fret board. Also, I have never seen a bass clef in 6 string guitar music. G Show more

    Paid for the subscription but it hasn’t unlocked and been a couple days
    It’s currently still asking me to subscribe even though I clearly already paid

    Ordered and won’t function.
    Ordered product, charged my account and will not play. Continually tries to get me to buy again yet when I do it states already bought. Restated iPad, deleted app and reloaded and nothing functions. Hope to get my monthly subscription refunded. Show more

    Great app!
    This app has been amazing in learning the fretboard and theory etc. these past few months have been buggy and this app stopped working completely a month ago. I keep getting “subscribe to enjoy all features” I did buy the guitar version back last year when it was $3 for lifetime access, which is fine; however since it was not working and giving me the subscription page I paid for the month of unlock AND IT STILL DIDNT WORK! I have emailed the developer about this before so I’m sure he’s aware, however I would love to use this app daily again. Leaving 1 star until fixed , otherwise 5 star app. Show more

    Great app with some recent bugs
    I used to practice with this app religiously, but there have been some bugs recently that make it nearly unusable. The sharps and flats barely show up on the staff if at all, and the fretboard is so far zoomed out that I can barely tap the right fret. Hope these problems get fixed soon so I can get back to practicing with this otherwise very well-designed app:) Show more

    I purchased an annual subscription that doesn’t work.
    I had access to this app for a month or so after I purchased an annual subscription, but now the app has shut me out and keeps asking for a monthly or annual purchase to play. I’ve requested a refund from Apple, but I’m not optimistic because of the time that has passed. So the annual purchase, at least, appears to be a rip-off. Too bad, there was a lot to like about the app. Show more

    What a Ripoff! - Updated
    I paid the full price to get the full premium app with everything unlocked a few months ago. Since they’ve decided to go with a subscription model, I have lost access to all of the premium games and instruments I had paid for. Restoring purchases doesn’t get these back either. Feels like the developer has taken my money and given me nothing in return. Leaves a bad taste. UPDATE: I checked back in my purchase history and I did only purchase the guitar pack, and I do have access to that pack. Thank you to the developer for the quick follow-up, and my sincere apologies for the mistake. Show more

    By far the best fretboard app out there
    I’ve tried many methods before but this app is truly great and makes learning easy and gives you a ton of control on how to approach mastering the note locations on the frets. You can learn it in chunks, with or without sharps, individual strings, etc. I installed a few fretboard apps but this one stood out. Stick with it and you’ll be surprised how great it is. Show more

    Need bug fix
    Love the app but after the recent update, landscape mode got messed up. Part of the guitar neck is now cut off by the note name panel. Thanks.

    Banjo tuning wrong
    So I wrote a previous review but can’t find it where I mentioned that the banjo tuning is wrong. I scrolled through some of the critical reviews and forum one from two years ago that mentions this and they just say that you can change the tuning to whatever you want so it’s not a problem. Sorry, I know you can change the tuning but as an app developer you should have the standard tunings and chords correct. The chords you have in the app make no sense. This app is poor andIm a bit mad that they could easily change the default tuning of the banjo but they take this attitude towards their product. Now im definitely not buying this. Show more

    Very useful
    I try to use it everyday to improve my fret knowledge

    Learned The fretboard With this App
    Great app for seriously learning the fretboard notes. This app made it possible for me to learn in my spare time whenever I was unable to bring my guitar with me. Well worth the investment. Show more

    So good! One suggestion…
    This is a fun arcade style app that features so much games, you don’t get punished for picking the incorrect note, interval, chord, etc. rather it just shows your stats(that you can reset anytime) it really shows how much you’ve improved. I can easily get sucked into a round and find myself a thousand answers in! Time flys for me and it’s helped me learn to apply music theory to the guitar! Right now I’m working on the staff and fretboard game which is the closest thing to sight reading music notation. The one thing that I wish was implemented in the app was if there was accompanying videos to supplement it. Some of the games I had to surf the internet to connect the dots so I could actually understand how to play the game. Super awesome app and worth paying for the upgrades! I really hope that there will be more mini games added in the future… especially a few to help with sight reading measures of music and even sight reading chords on the staff! Download this right now if you’re serious about learning your stringed instrument! Show more

    UPDATE (ALMOST THERE)
    I had to update my last review since my previous concerns were addressed. Thank you for the fixes! The name that note layout is great, just like a piano keyboard. No more searching for notes. I really appreciate the response from the development team. Awesome! Thanks again. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I want to give this app 5 stars but I just can’t. Not until this one issue is resolved. When playing the “Name that note” game, the main notes are set up in order. That is of course expected. But when you tap the flat key or # if that’s your thing, the order of the notes above don’t make any sense. Why are they not set up in the same order as a piano? Ab should be above A, Bb above B etc.? Instead there are redundant notes, 2 B’s 2 E’s…. WTH! Fix this please! I shouldn’t have to search for the notes. How is that helping me study? If it’s set up like a piano, the visual representation will connect across both instruments and the intervals will be correct. Please fix!! Show more

    Glitch won’t let you exit
    So stupid, literally no way to exit this app. Had to power off iPhone just to get out of it.
  • skeenerz, 22.01.2022
    WHY?
    Unfortunately this app turns off any other audio that might be playing when in use. It would be nice to have the ability to change a setting so it wouldn’t do that, even if it meant not being able to hear the notes or chords within the app at times. Sometimes I like to study and memorize the physical layout of such things as fretboards while listening to an audiobook, but can’t with this app. Show more

    Bug Issue
    Hey what’s up with your program? I bought it thinking I can learn the fretboard better, but you guys need to fix some bugs or I want a refund. There’s a bug when playing note names. Let’s say I just want to learn just the 4th fret. It keeps on trying to teach me the B note on the same string. It also won’t register correctly when I choose sharps or flats to play the 4th fret challenge. Show more
