Comments on FretGenius: Fretboard Trainer for Android

★★★★★ John Janani Grant · Jun 14, 2026
Excellent approach to learning the fretboard. The play along version is a great way to build up recall speed on the instrument as well as train your ear to hear the correct notes. The phase progression is set up to be challenging enough but not so that it seems out of reach. Wonderful tool I wish I had years ago.
★★★★★ Jeromie Hartsough · Oct 3, 2026
Great so far. I feel like I'm easily able to pick up where the notes are and pick them out. A little bit of practice, and it seems to come easier each time. A great tool for a beginner or somebody going back to pick up on the things they skipped.
★★★★★ AJ · Dec 5, 2025
It's so far been free, simple and pretty effective. If combined with practice on the instrument it's a very, very effective way to memorize the fretboard.
★★★★★ Patrick Dale · Feb 5, 2026
I've got this app on my ipad and phone and both versions are excellent. It's a fantastic tool for learning the notes on a guitar neck - and it really works. Incredibly it's free, too! Thanks Fret Genius 🎸👍
★★★★★ Erin Donovan · Mar 30, 2026
This is a useful app that helps us learn notes and chords on guitar and bass. I'll update later when I have time, but I just wanted to write about this so the devs know how useful this app is!
★☆☆☆☆ Niq Scott · Aug 11, 2026
Just let people try it for 7 days for free without asking them to sign up. You're just hoping they'll forget, so you'll scam them out of a month's cash before they realize and cancel. Deceptive scumbag developer to be honest. There are better alternatives out there.
★★☆☆☆ Caelan Strickland · Jul 1, 2026
I don't want to buy an app that makes you think you are getting it for free when it makes you play subscriptions, what makes this app better than others?
★☆☆☆☆ Mark K · Aug 1, 2026
Fundamental app issue. Nonexistent support. Fundamental problems with note recognition and accuracy. Issues across several intune and pro-setup + intonated guitars. App use became massively frustrating very quickly. Tried many things: more / less volume, phone on amp, different guitars. "Contacted" support through the app multiple times. Never received any response. Maybe there is an issue with the contact process? Everything else about the app seems to need work.

Description by FretGenius Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
FretGenius is a guitar fretboard trainer that helps you learn guitar notes and intervals in about 5 minutes a day. If you know chord shapes but still count frets to find a note, this fretboard trainer turns slow note-finding into instant recall anywhere on the guitar fretboard.

LEARN THE FRETBOARD STEP BY STEP
Note Path is a guided way to learn the fretboard and memorize the fretboard in phases: open strings, the low E string, the A string, string pairs, the full guitar fretboard with natural notes, then sharps and flats. You move on only when your accuracy and speed are ready, so your fretboard memorization comes from real recall.

GUITAR NOTE TRAINER MODES
• Note Finder – see a note name, find it on the guitar fretboard
• Name That Note – see a fret position and name the note in a fast fretboard quiz
• Mic Note Trainer – play the note on your real guitar; the microphone confirms the match and can guide you to the target fret
• Play Along – play target notes over beat-aligned backing chords for guitar ear training in time
Practice on screen with no guitar needed, or with your acoustic or electric guitar.

INTERVAL TRAINER
Interval Path teaches how two notes relate and how interval shapes look in every direction on the neck. Use Interval Finder for visual fretboard interval practice and the Mic Interval Trainer to play shapes on your guitar. Build from interval basics to triads and chords.

SEE YOUR WEAK SPOTS
Heatmaps show the fretboard notes you miss or hesitate on. Track accuracy, response pace, recent improvement and a fretboard speed map after every guitar practice session.

AI COACH AND SHORT LESSONS
Owlfred, your AI coach, reviews your practice and suggests personalized daily fretboard exercises. Bite-sized lessons cover fretboard basics, guitar notes, pitch, tuning, semitones, intervals, shapes and the building blocks of chords.

BUILT-IN GUITAR TUNER
Auto string detection gets you in tune quickly before mic training and Play Along.

WHO IT'S FOR
• Beginners who want to learn guitar notes from day one
• Self-taught players who know shapes but not the notes under them
• Intermediate players who want faster note recall for improvising, finding chord tones and moving riffs around the neck
• Teachers who want measurable fretboard practice homework

WHY FRETGENIUS
• A fretboard trainer focused on one skill: instant note recall across the guitar neck
• Random prompts, so you can't rely on patterns
• Gamified 5-minute daily sessions that fit any guitar practice routine
• Works alongside your guitar lesson, tab and chord apps
