Is there anything similar to Tunefox for Android?

It works on an Android tablet, just set it for desktop mode in chrome. Doing the trial, if you read the interview on here with the creator, there a discount code as well.

Hey y'all, I'm the Co-Founder of Tunefox. Let me know if you have any questions or feedback for me about the app. Also, we have an in-person camp coming up this May in North Carolina and Mike Compton and Joe Walsh are teaching mandolin. Let me know if you're interested in that, too! the website is http://www.tunefox.com/camp
My email is bennett@listenlearnapp.com.
I really like it but it had some lag with the band on half notes....kinda made it hard to play along with. I really want this to work as I can see where it would be a great tool. I'm on your trial right now, will work with it some more and if the bumps get smoothed out I'll subscribe.

Do you have plans to do standard notation? I like the app a lot but I don’t like tab. I like to see and think in notes.
I've been really happy with it - I got a u-bass recently, and it's an excellent way to learn bass parts & variations, having never played bass, along with learning tunes on mandolin. Tons of tunes & new ones being added all the time.
As someone who also enjoys notation, I agree that it would be an awesome addition to Tunefox. Unfortunately, we don't have any immediate plans for notation but that doesn't mean it'll never happen.
Part of the reason Tunefox is a great app are the 'extra' features like Hide Notes, which allows you to learn partially or wholly by ear. This could be a way around looking at the tab. I know it's not notation but it popped into my head as another way to use the app .
Thanks for checking it out.

I signed up for the free trial and learned Little Maggie. I liked the arrangement — a friend likes to call it in our local jam and I couldn’t find any tabs for it until I saw it on Tunefox. I especially liked that it had two versions/variations.
I didn’t take advantage of the Hide Notes feature but after watching a tutorial video on that, I’m really intrigued. I use the Amazing Slow Downer with mp3s but find that there is still distortion at slow speeds, which makes it difficult and perhaps not as useful for learning by ear. I think that is eliminated or certainly diminished on tunefox, so it might help me learn to hear the notes better.
Even with hide notes the program shows what string you are on. I think my method will be to hide all the notes, turn away from the screen and see if I can work it out a looped section, and then check the screen if I am totallly stuck in order to see at least what string we’re on. I suppose another feature to add to the program (unless it’s already there) could be to hide the string and just have the strum pattern at the bottom so you can be looking at the screen (and still selecting speed and sections to loop) without seeing the string indicated.
Interested to hear how others are making use of Tunefox, especially in the learning by ear department.

Well, either you guys did some tweaks or my android fire tablet like you better now that I have been using it. I expressed some concerns in emails with one of the founders and made it clear that the concerns were holding me back from subscribing. It seems that has been fixed and it works well now in Chrome set to desktop mode.
I was learning a song the other day and clicked on the "shuffle licks" button....it changed part of soldiers joy to a bluesy swing...and I FREAKIN' LOVED IT! That....brought back some of the fun reasons why I chose a stringed instrument.
Rock on....subscription coming soon!
