Fretonomy is the ultimate educational game to learn the notes and chords on the fretboard of the guitar and other stringed instruments. There are 9 instruments available to practice on:
Choose your instrument and pick one of the many games available to you to practice the fretboard until you have mastered every fret and every chord pattern.
Customize your experience by selecting which section of the fretboard you want to practice on. Practice the first frets, a section in the middle, or the entire fretboard.
Many games are available. Choose how you want to train. Learn by simply matching random notes with the fret on the fretboard, or try something different with the Color Matching game!
Learn and master all kinds of chord patterns on the guitar with the Name Chord game. Choose which chords you want to practice on any section of the fretboard, and go at your own pace. You will learn to identify any chord pattern very quickly!
Learn how to quickly read notes on a staff in the Staff game. Choose whatever section of the staff you want to practice on, choose the staff type, and start training!
Or master the fretboard and staff at the same time in the Staff and Fretboard game. Select a fret on the fretboard that matches a note on the staff!
Explore scales on the fretboard of your instrument with the Scale Explorer game. Choose a root note, pick one of the 63 different scales available, and start memorizing your scale. Change the color of the notes on the fretboard to identify intervals easier.
Create your own songs on the fly and learn how to play them right away using the Chord Progression generator tool. Any popular chord progression can be generated in any scale you want. Play along to the chords of your progression by using the playback feature to practice the shapes.
View your progress as statistics are logged for each instrument, tuning, and fret. A heat-map is used to show your progress. Share your progress with your friends!

So great (one complaint)
This app is honestly the only thing that's made me legitimately start to learn the fretboard. The monthly cost is well worth it. My only gripe is a small bug where say I'm playing the "name note" game. Typically, when you touch a note, the note will sound out (this is an option). If I exit the app and then come back in the same session, the note no longer plays, and I need to close the app and restart it. Again, I love the app, but this really annoys me lol. If it's fixed it's an easy 6/5 stars.
The best
I have downloaded and used many guitar apps, and this one blows them all away as far as training and practicing the fretboard when away from my guitar.
four stars
loved this app for memorization, but can’t figure out how to quit my subscription. any help?
Updates?
Harmonic minor was broken a year ago when I tried this app and it’s still broken. Why doesn’t the M7th show?
Useless without monthly subscription
There’s not a lot here if you don’t shell out money monthly. Anything beyond the first two frets is off limits in the free version. I’d pay a couple bucks for a full version, but this is subscription based so, well, see ya later.
Subscription-based ? Forget it !
Subscription for using an app like this ? I am OK with buying a life-time license, even if I am stuck with a certain version. But paying rent ?!? Get lost !
Subscription-based?
Seems like a nice little app? Not sure why it would be subscription-based. I’ll be looking for something else…
Crippleware with forced subscription
See title
Great app— but..
won’t play sounds in “ear training” games or lessons … is this a bug?
Stupid paywall
Can’t even learn past the 2nd fret without paying, one star and deleted.
