Great Trainer

By Baron1999 (Pcmac user)

This is a great help at both learning to sight read and also learning the fretboard. When I am away from the the app this is my go to practice tool.
Love this APP! How about making one for ukulele?

By Jcej1 (Pcmac user)

Great Learning Tool

By Joe CPA (Pcmac user)

I love this app. Been trying to learn the app for years. I know the value of being able t sightread music and this app ties it together. The app is a bit of a no-frills app, as there is not much customizing you can do. For example I would like an option to leave the sharps and flats off. Also if it had a "review" type lesson that would show you the notes on certain strings. Practice mode is close but you just pick what note you want to see. Still if you want to learn music and the notes on the the app I reccomend this. If you can't sightread at all you might check out another app to learn that first. I suggest iReadMusic app it rocks. But then get this app too.
Good practice tool

By Hydroman52 (Pcmac user)

I have played the app for many years, and always used TABS and chords to figure them out. Now I am ready to advance to sight reading and wish I had done this when I first began. This little tool is very handy for drilling the notes on the fret board. In a few minutes, I had improved my knowledge noticeably. It's easy to understand, and, given the constraints on my iPod (small screen and big clumsy fingers), is well designed. Only dificulty is that when designating a note, you must touch the close to the fret rather than area behind the fret where my finger would actually land when playing the note. The point where the app decides which fret you are designating seems to be halfway between frets and when I touch where my finger would really land, it could select the fret above or below. This isn't too dificult to get the hang of . . . . and not a deal killer for me deciding to buy this. It's not loaded down with fancy features and does what it's supposed to do. It's a great application to hone skills while waiting at the dentist, airport, or on a break at the office. Others my argue that it might not be worth the 2.99 that I paid, but for me, it is a bargain. Heck, I would have thrown in another penny to make it an even $3.00. The only reason that I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that it is just a tool and I don't want to mislead others into thinking this is the greatest thing since sliced bread.
