Fretuoso for Android Is Now in Open Beta

17 septembre 2026 Par Stéphane Peter

Fretuoso® is now available on Android in open beta. If you’ve wanted to practice your fretboard knowledge on an Android device, we’d love for you to try it and tell us what you think.

After more than a decade exclusively on iOS, we’ve finally taken the jump and brought Fretuoso to Android. Throughout the port, we’ve focused on preserving feature parity with the Apple platforms, bringing the same practice tools and learning experience to Android phones and tablets.

Premium is free for all Android beta testers during the beta period. You can explore the complete experience while helping us refine the app.

Get to Know Your Fretboard

Finding a note shouldn’t mean counting up from an open string every time. Fretuoso helps you build that familiarity through short practice sessions, with support for guitar, bass, ukulele, banjo, and mandolin.

Fretuoso for Android Training mode with a live fretboard note prompt, answer choices, timer, accuracy, hits, and misses

Choose the way you want to practice:

  • Training mode lets you learn at your own pace, with adaptive exercises that give more attention to the notes you find difficult.
  • Game mode adds timed challenges when you’re ready to test your recall.
  • Staff learning mode connects written notes with their positions on the fretboard.
  • Free play mode gives you room to explore notes and tunings.

You can customize your tuning and practice area, then use detailed statistics to see where you need more work. Whether you’re learning your first instrument or picking up another, a few spare minutes can become a useful practice break.

Help Us Shape the Android App

This is an open beta, and your feedback is the reason we’re opening it up. Premium access is free throughout the Android beta, and we want to hear how Fretuoso fits into your practice routine and how it behaves on the Android devices you use every day.

Found something confusing? A screen that doesn’t look right? An exercise that isn’t working as expected? Send us your feedback at beta@fretuoso.app. For bugs, include your device model, Android version, and the steps that led to the problem. A screenshot can help too.

We’d also love to know which instrument you’re learning and what would make your next practice session more useful.
