Short answers. For anything else, write to iamajavagod@gmail.com.

What is Fret?

An app for playing songs on guitar. It shows the lyrics with the chords above the words, a diagram for every chord, transposition, and a scroll that follows along while you play.

Do I need an account?

No. On the first screen you can continue as a guest and use the app straight away. A guest account is tied to your installation, not to you.

What happens to my favourites if I reinstall the app?

A guest account does not survive a reinstall or a new phone: a fresh installation gets a new identifier and therefore a new account, and the old one becomes unreachable. Signing in with an email address or with Google is what keeps your favourites and your own arrangements.

Where do the chords come from?

Some arrangements were added by people using the app. Most were imported from publicly available sources on the internet. They are somebody's reading of how a song is played, not an official score, so mistakes and odd keys happen.

An arrangement is wrong. Can I fix it?

Yes — add your own version of the song. Other people can then choose between the versions.

Who can see what I add?

Everyone. Arrangements, comments, your username, avatar and bio are public. Fret has no private messages.

Is it free?

Yes, all of it.

How old do I have to be?

16, or 13 with the consent of a parent or guardian.

What am I allowed to publish?

Anything except material you have no right to publish, nudity and sexually explicit imagery, real-world violence and gore, and attacks on other people. The full list is in the Terms of Service.

I hold the rights to a song and I want it removed.

See Copyright complaints — it lists what to send and how quickly we act.

Something in the app breaks the rules. What do I do?

Use the report button on the song, the arrangement, the comment or the profile. You can also write to us directly.

How do I delete my account?

See Delete your account.
