Questions

Straight answers, before you download.

Is Guitarium free?

Yes. The drills, tuner, metronome, chord library, chord analyzer, scale viewer and tab viewer are all free, with no account and no card. Training time is the one limit: a free 5-minute session a day, which resets every morning.

What does Premium add?

Premium lifts the daily limit, with each session capped at 60 minutes. It also unlocks Explore mode, Smart Sessions built around your weakest topics, full song controls, the fretboard map and the weekly report.

Which devices does Guitarium run on?

Guitarium is an iPhone app and needs iOS 18.6 or later. It installs on iPad and runs there in iPhone compatibility mode. There is no Mac, Android or web version.

Does Guitarium work offline?

Yes. Every drill and every tool runs on the device with no connection. Your practice history syncs through your own private iCloud rather than an account with us. A connection is only needed for the App Store.

Can I import my own guitar tabs?

Yes. Guitarium opens .gp files from Files or iCloud Drive and follows along with a playback cursor. Viewing and playing is free; tempo, transpose, section loops and the track mixer come with Premium.
