Bass Sight Reading Trainer at Mac App Store analyse

The app is simple enough to use, if you have just picked up the bass and a great way to learn your scales. A great addition that would be awesome to see, if I could plug in my bass, using an iRig or whatever other way, and answer the test, by playing the note, I understand that would require writing in a tuner, and would require a set up process, as not all basses have perfect pitch once you start moving up the fret board, but then i could also practice my finger work as well as theory. thank you guys for making this.

Ive been wanting to learn how to read bass clef for a long time. This app was the perfect thing. Shows the staff as I play notes and has a test mode which is really nice. The test mode is "like" guitar hero and it makes the learning / practicing really fun and exciting. Buy it!

This app is awesome! Im learning the translation between my eye/brain/hand from sheet music to pressing the right fret. As soon as you press a fret, you see the note on the bass clef, which really helps the eye/hand coordination training. When you get really good at playing a musical instrument, you dont think A-D-G-D whatever, you see a note in a certain place and you put your hand on a fret (or a key). Its a reflex and an emotion rather than a mechanical thought process. At least for me, anyway. Thoughts for improvement: When I tap a note on the bass clef, it would be nice to see the fret(s) that correspond to that note. This is the reverse of what it is now (press a fret and see the note on the bass clef). Heres a cool idea… probably a totally separate app, but read in a power tab and show which frets are being played. Anyway, Ive got about 3 other apps that are supposed to be similar in nature. This one is "the one".

I had been playing bass for years having poor notation reading skills and slowly counting frets. This app trains you on bass clef notation, learning the notes on the fingerboard (up to the 12th fret), and drilling you in different training modes to identify, locate and match up notes and frets quickly. It tracks your progress in different fret groups. Recommended.

Very nice. Defiantly what I was looking for.

Super basic but does what it says. Designed to only teach you one note at a time rather than chord tones/scales and musical sequences, maybe this can be added. Useful to the absolute beginner, for anyone else Music Theory Pro is more useful and less expensive. Would be 5 stars if it cost less.

This is perfect for learning or simply brushing-up on improving reading and note/sound correlation capabilities. One feature to add is to sound the note after it is correctly chosen (in test mode). (implement as a user option) This would assist in reinforcing the letter/position/ear training lesson. Also, slightly decrease the side of the test letter and box – slightly distracting. It would be cool for the string to slightly vibrate after tapping a note. (user option)
