Rippin: Guitar Tuner & Chords

Fretboard Trainer & Scales

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Seven tools in one: pro tuner, scales, metronome and chords, plus the note-training games that finally get the fretboard into your hands. Rippin is a guitar app for people who want to play, not do homework. Seven tools in one, built around the thing that actually holds most guitarists back: not knowing the fretboard. Rippin fixes that with games instead of lectures. FREE FROM THE FIRST TAP TUNER — Professional real-time pitch detection for acoustic and electric guitar. Standard, Drop D, DADGAD, Open G and more tuning profiles. SCALES — Pentatonic, modal, blues, exotic and symmetric scales across all 12 keys. CAGED patterns with full fretboard diagrams and the theory behind each shape. METRONOME — 30 to 240 BPM with tap tempo, multiple time signatures, custom accent patterns and several click sounds. Keeps running in the background while you play. CHORD LIBRARY — Every chord you will ever need, with multiple voicings each: fretboard diagrams, finger positions, intervals and full chord theory. PREMIUM — TRAIN LIKE YOU MEAN IT NOTRIX — Note recognition using your microphone. It asks for a note, you play it, Rippin listens and tells you whether you nailed it. This is how fretboard knowledge actually sticks. NOTIFY — See the note, play it fast. A fretboard reaction game with timed rounds, streaks and score bonuses that sharpen how quickly you find any note. SLASHBOARD — Your practice dashboard. Day streaks, session history, accuracy, reaction time and a fretboard heatmap showing exactly which notes you keep missing. WHY RIPPIN Most guitar apps either tune your strings or sell you a course. Rippin does the unglamorous part that actually makes you better — fretboard knowledge, ear, timing — and makes it something you will open twice. No account. No feed. No homework. Just the tools, and an honest record of whether you are improving. Play more. Suck less. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Tune-Up Release No new toys this time — just a solid once-over. Stability improvements, performance polish and a round of bug fixes, so nothing gets between you and the fretboard. While you're here: the Tuner, Scales, Metronome and Chord Library are free, forever. And if you haven't put Notrix or Notify through their paces yet, that's where the real practice happens. Keep rippin.
