Fretonomy - Learn Fretboard

authentic rating

A fretboard-knowledge trainer built on note- and interval-recognition games, and for many it is the only thing that actually made them learn the fretboard, right up to the moment it clicks. It works for mandolin and bass too. But the interface is confusing, several paths lead to one screen, there are errors in frets and intervals, and the real-instrument mic mode often simply does not work. Plus a subscription and settings reset every month.

About the rating

Reviews are very concrete: 133 hours in 19 days, specific bugs (the 23rd fret, 4ths on the neck), game modes, mandolin and 5-string bass, the moment the fretboard 'clicked'. The textAvg 3.57 honestly reflects the spread, no faking.
