I've been playing guitar my whole life, but was always chronically stuck at the intermediate level. I decided to get serious about learning and applying theory, and quickly realized I needed to commit the fretboard to memory, at least enough to play along with tracks. I downloaded all the similar apps I could find, and this one emerged as my favorite. It's not perfect. I think the time-gated phase checks are pointless and buggy. Still, it does a good job of presenting the information I need.

Hi David! Thanks for the 5 stars and honest feedback, glad it became your favorite! Quick ask: what felt buggy? Even one example helps a lot (in-app Feedback works great). On time-gated checks: the spacing helps knowledge stick long-term. I know it feels like friction though! Happy practicing! David

Excellent approach to learning the fretboard. the play along version is a great way to build up recall speed on the instrument as well as train your ear to hear the correct notes. the phase progression is setup to be challenging enough but not so that it seems out of reach. Wonderful tool I wish I had years ago.

Fundamental app issue. Nonexistent support. Fundamental problems with note recognition and accuracy. Issues across several intune and pro-setup + intonated guitars. App use became massively frustrating very quickly. Tried many things: more / less volume, phone on amp, different guitars. "Contacted" support through the app multiple times. Never received any response. Maybe there is an issue with the contact process? Everything else about the app seems to need work.
