Build Recommendations

Prioritized actions based on user demand and market opportunity.

Build superior note recognition engine with advanced audio processing

58% of complaints center on mic/recognition issues. Solving this core problem with better algorithms (or pitch detection libraries) would immediately differentiate from Fret Pro and address the primary pain point.

Implement adaptive learning algorithm that reduces repetition and tracks mastery

37% complain about repetitive, unintelligent note selection. A spaced repetition system that actually moves on once mastery is demonstrated would fix the 'G 50 times in a row' problem.

Price at $2.99-4.99 one-time purchase, no subscription

Users explicitly reject monthly subscriptions for learning tools and view $40 as too high. A fair one-time price would remove a major barrier and align with user expectations.

Add staff notation toggle for sight-reading practice

Requested feature that would differentiate the product and serve musicians who want to connect fretboard positions to sheet music reading.

Include calibration wizard and troubleshooting guidance in onboarding

Users struggle to make the app work but lack clear instructions. A guided setup would reduce frustration and improve success rates for new users.
