Fretuoso 4+

Fretuoso is fun!

Fretuoso is a great tool for learning the notes of the staff and the location of the notes on the fingerboard. You can play it when you’re away from your guitar which is great on vacation or on a break at work. Thank you for a great product! Chad

Partially Fixed

Another update:

App back to being “mostly great”... can’t turn off sounding the notes. Everything else is fixed.

————————————-
Update: now neither app will open (only goes to gray screen and then hangs until it times out and returns to my desktop).

It feels like it may have something to do with trying to sync with the cloud and then crashes. I did use this app every day. Now I can’t get it to run.

I am on an iPad Pro 11.0 w/256 G memory and LOTS of available storage and latest iOS.

—————————-

I owned both apps and purchased “all” instruments on both apps ($14). Now, it appears, I only need one of the apps to have on my iPad so after updating today, every time I open either app I have to reset the “restore purchases”... I’m sure this is just a glitch that needs to be corrected. I only rated the app one star so the developer will be sure to see it. When this is corrected I will again rate it 5 stars and remove this review.

Thanks!

Ответ разработчика ,

Thank you for the report. We’ll have a new update out very soon with fixes for this and other issues.

Paid for the full version, kinda regretting it.

Generally speaking the app has a very dated Web 2.0 looking interface and it’s lacking in all but the most basic features that other software offers. Want to practice with only naturals? Sorry! Want to specify *any* options in ‘game’ mode? Again, nope. Want to increase the difficulty and skip the first 20 or so levels of basic 5 fret quizzing? Sorry! I was hoping for a ‘note hunter’ mode where you could be given a note and have to track them all down. This app is super basic, practice mode and a progressive difficulty quiz mode, that’s it. I recommend looking a Fretonomy instead.

Thanks for the feedback. We do have a lot of training options available, and you can limit notes to just naturals, or even particular scales if you want. You can also focus on particular areas of the fretboard.

Game mode is very limited in terms of options because of the scoring in leaderboards; every single player needs to be subject to the same rules of the game so that they can't artificially game themselves to the top of the global leaderboards.

However if what you want is advanced training options, all of that is available in the training modes. There's just no scoring and levels, but statistics tracking and so on still applies.
