Same request. I really struggled to use it because I’m only ever looking “down” at my fretboard with the low E at the “top”. When I tried to hold my iPhone in that orientation, it flipped on me.

I had trouble mapping from your visual to my actual guitar. (I’m an intermediate player as well)

FYI now there's a toggle under settings for "Front View Fretboard" that may be helpful. Let me know if it works out for you.

hmm..so you're requesting something slightly different from the other poster right? You're requesting portrait mode if im not mistaken.

I got that request a few times as well...and I honestly tried but I cannot make it work. I might seek out pro frontend help to help me out here.

If I misunderstood your request, could you explain a bit further? When you say low on top...is this what you mean? https://imgur.com/a/ctgMAuy

Just to add to the confusion, I would be really interested in a mode where everything is completely upside-down, including the text. Basically, my instinct was to hold my phone as if it's the neck of the guitar, and look down at it to simulate the perspective of playing guitar. If the whole game was flipped upside-down, this would work really naturally.

I think this view fixes it. https://imgur.com/a/yIY13pe

I can totally add it if thats what you guys want

Does this view work better for you? https://imgur.com/a/yIY13pe
