What Artists Are Saying “Learning the notes on the fretboard is key to any guitarist’s development, and Fretuoso is a neat way to get that info burned into your brain without having to carry a guitar everywhere you go. Pretty cool!” — Bryan Beller (Dethklok, Steve Vai, Mike Keneally) “This is one of the best apps I’ve seen in a while. It’s simple, fun, and educational.

One thing that bugs me a little bit. The random number generator that picks a new note for you to identify seems like it almost get stuck going back-and-forth between the same couple of notes longer than randomness would allow. I only do one string at a time, I’m not sure if that has anything to do with it. -- fautasohcuivsd, 2025-09-06 ### ***** "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 -- Guitar enthusiasts, 2024-10-29 ### ***-- "Faulty" It will show a higher position for a note like high G then the A above G it shows a lower position on the same string. Just spent $9 to have false information. -- hargisP, 2024-09-13 ### ***** "Fretuoso" I love it! -- Storksam, 2024-06-19 ### ****- "I want give this 5 stars" This app is great for when you’re on the go: on the bus, in-line, or in bed. If you want to learn the notes on the fretboard without caring your guitar around it’s perfect BUT the sound will not work on my phone! I need to hear the pitch. All in all great app! -- 6BarsIn, 2024-02-27 ### **--- "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. -- ThatPaperclip, 2023-04-19 ### ***** "Fretuoso" Outstanding way to learn the notes on the fretboard!! Amazing app!! -- Sunfunisland, 2023-03-08 ### ***** "Ease of use …" “The more that you can show “would-be” guitarists direct lines to “real-world music” … the more that these dreams can become new ideas, ready to adapt to any number of dreams !!! -- H vcggxx, 2022-10-06 ### ***** "Me la recomendaron ✌️" Chido -- Welo Calel, 2022-08-19 ### *---- "Ukulele fret board trainer" I am left handed, so there is no option to switch alignment in the app. I want to cancel my subscription, but there are no clear directions and it is not found on my Apple subscriptions in settings. This means I will have to call my credit card to cancel. Not good. Please do better in the future. Yours, Lin Buer -- Sehlabathebe, 2022-04-19 ### ***** "Love it. Wish 4 1 improvement." I LOVE this app. The only ask I’d have is if there could b an adjustment for image size. OR, even better; a version for pc. U can’t see the whole fretboard on my smartphone. -- timofmusk, 2022-04-09 ### **--- "True left hand mode please!" Re-ordering the strings while keeping the headstock on the left is wrong. I really want to like this app and it's wrong to judge it harshly solely on this one issue, but this is a big deal. If the shoe (literally?) were on the other foot, you would do something about it. Edit: I’m disappointed that this hasn’t been addressed, years later. Left hand guitar isn’t upside down right hand. -- XC077, 2022-03-08 ### ****- "Chords?" Chords? -- Elchupacabr6, 2021-07-21 ### ***** "Great app for learning the fretboard" I’ve tried several apps and definitely like this one the best! -- Tcmccormick, 2021-06-29 ### ***-- "Decent but too many ads" Great teaching app but the ads are absolutely overwhelming. It is not worth the time wasted in ads. -- MDR3308, 2021-06-19 ### **--- "I hate the change" I hate to change me I used to be for the lower notes actually saw the note now you what you do is you use 8vaTo see that it is lowerThat was helping me am I note reading And now I don’t even get a guitar song for some reason that feature is not working with you click on it or not can I get the light version back again -- DoeZero, 2021-06-07 ### ***** "Helpful Learning Tool" This app is helping me to “burn in” the notes on the fretboard (I.e. associate the piano keyboard with their locations on the fretboard). -- Bill Egan, 2021-01-27 ### ***** "Great!" Great app! I highly suggest upgrading to your instrument for a couple of dollars. It’s simple and great for practicing in situations like riding a bus or someplace where you can’t play. I also love the leaderboard feature! It pushes you to do more! I would recommend this to anyone. Score 8.6/10 -- wRiverH, 2020-10-26 ### **--- "Wrong # of frets for bari uke" Sadly, this program doesn’t well for baritone ukulele. Yes, you can select ukulele for your instrument, and select baritone tuning, but the instrument you see does not have enough frets. The ukulele that you see in the training has 12 frets between the nut and where the neck joins the body. But on a baritone uke, it’s typically the 15th fret where the neck joints the body. You want to train your mind that at the 12th fret the notes are DGBE. But you do NOT want to train your mind to “see” this pattern in the wrong place, in relation to the body of the instrument. Any chance of adding a separate instrument for baritone ukulele? Or perhaps a feature where you could specify the number of frets? -- Catsjazz, 2020-08-31 ### *---- "No sound" Purchased app. No sound! Continues to say my phone is on mute. Can listen to Other apps no problem. Uninstalled and reinstalled it nothing. Not happy about it. If you can’t fix this please refund my money thank you so much -- Ohplease1234, 2020-06-17 [View all Fretuoso reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Fretuoso In-App Purchases | Item | Price | |------|-------| | Guitar | $3.99 | | All Instruments | $8.99 | | Bass Guitar | $3.99 | | Ukulele | $3.99 | | Acoustic Guitar | $3.99 | | Mandolin | $3.99 | | Banjo | $3.99 | | 5-String Bass Guitar | $3.99 | | 6-String Bass Guitar | $3.99 | | 7-String Guitar | $3.99 | ## Fretuoso Discovered Keywords -
