Incredbly useful

Chords and notes and scales and theory. Compact. Can catch a few intervals when I have a few minutes. Or do last thing at night in bed. Its a great little app. Thankyou.

Brilliant

I love this app. Simple and elegant. Amazing tool. If I could make one suggestion for a future feature (hopefully you are still keeping this updated) speech recognition would be amazing. If I could say the note name or interval or what have you out loud I would avoid having my thumb muscle memory become what is trained and my explicit capacity to recall the information would be trained more deeply. That would be amazing!

Great app but needs...

Drills where you need to input things onto the fretboard, for example drawing in a scale/mode around an octave shape
