Don’t usually write reviews. But I love this app. Since the quarantine I don’t have access to my piano so this makes for a great way to compose. One note of feedback is it would be great if you could let the instruments do some sort of riffs like the guitar can do in GarageBand when you play chords so there is a little more of a creativity dimension when composing. And maybe even add a drummer as a metronome option. Other than that great job.

Wow, fun interactive theory at your fingertips!. It’s funny, I usually look on the web when looking for theory or shopping for posters on theory. Sometimes I forget that apps are growing and getting better and better everyday. Especially when you learn file sharing and know how these apps can help develop your music production skills. The hard work these developers do is much appreciated by people who love music and want to learn. Shoutout to all the music app developers, we appreciate you!!!!! Make the app midi compatible please! I’d love to connect my midi keyboards with my apple adapter for some real fluidity and even better learning! I’d even pay for that upgrade!

A hack for music composition and so much more!!. It really is! I am a choir director and sometimes my guys are not too adept in music theory. I use this to compose lead sheets and it saves me sooo much time when teaching them new songs!! The fact that you can export chord arrangements into a comprehensible pdf lead sheet just blows my mind!! Other only complaint that I have is that we play a lot of world music, and some island music are in 2/4 or 2/2. Please add those time signatures to the app, I would never need another program (app/computer) for composing again if it had those two time signatures. Please add them !!

Fun and super helpful for writing songs!. Great little app, very helpful for composing and actually hearing chord progressions back for those who don't have relative and perfect pitch. The only thing is that I would love for more customizations of the chords, namely inversions (even in combination with four note chords) and different rhythms that aren't 4/4. Right now, the root of the chord is always on the bottom. Inversions add a different color to the chord and are very widely used in songs and compositions. Some chords in the context of a certain progression just aren't the same sound without inversions. As for rhythms, it would be helpful for more control over how many bars a progression is and how many beats are in a bar. Right now, it's always 4 beats to a bar. Either 4 or 8 bars. I don't think adding different time signatures would be incredibly difficult nor adding custom length of bars any amount between (2-8). Also, adding chord changes within a bar would be awesome. That would add more complexity, sure, but the app for have so much value for making fully realized chord progressions for a song or composition. Other than those things, a solid app with lots of potential for improvement. I'm sure the inversions and rhythms features can be included in a future update.

if one more feature is added.... I really like this app. I don’t wanna waste the review to talk about what it can do because Chris’s tutorial videos are pretty informative on that note. But I like the developers to add (or I’d better say to complete) the chord section; When you click on the Chord Symbols under the left menu, it shows lots of great info. I first clicked on the square which contains the chord name thinking it plays the chord but I was wrong. Also, it shows the chord only in the first position on the fretboard. Personally I don’t mind to pay more for the app if these super useful educational improvements are added. So, I hope they add the following features: 1- when you click on the chord name, I like to hear how it sounds as well, 2- I’d also be able to change the chord position on the fretboard to see other inversions or chord options, “interactively”. PS: this can be added as a new option, something titled as Chord, in the menu with Songwriting, Scales, and Modes.

It’s really good, but.... This app is great, it is a really good tool for musicians. Although I think it could use some improvements: 1.) The ability to use different chord voicings would be great and is definitely something that would be helpful. Maybe use the piano to change the voicing. 2.) the way you change chords on your chord progression was kind of unintuitive to me especially when I’m trying to listen to a chord in my progression and then listen to other chords to use or follow up with and then I accidentally replace the chord in the progression. I’m not sure how to you would go about doing this because I know app design is difficult.

Major or 7th chords all or nothing?. I try not to review things before I’ve spent a good amount of time with them, but maybe the developer can help me out - is there no way to set progression mode to a minor key?? It seems like you can only switch from EVERYTHING major key to EVERYTHING 7th chords. Maybe there’s a good music theory-oriented reason for this (I bought this ap relatively ignorant of theory after all), but these seem like really basic things - especially the major/minor key signature aspect. All that said, I’m already enjoying and seeing the potential in the ap as is and fully intend to continue using it.

This is exactly what I looked for!. Such a gem for learning guitar and songwriting! Everything is well put together and nicely built and user interface is awesome. Can’t wait for chord notation feature. Personally, as a guitar learner, I’d love to find triads schematic right in the app. One small feature request from me is to have a metronome as an option to enable from scales view. Thank you for putting effort into building this app! Worth every penny!

Ehhh ..... Normally, I would give this app five stars. However, when I tried to export it as a midi file and add it to my GarageBand it starts making a noise that wasn’t happening on the app originally. I am not sure if that’s a branded sound effect for using the app or maybe somethings wrong with the app. I feel that with the limited amount of instruments that you provide I should be able to export it put it onto GarageBand and manipulated in which ever way I would like. Which would aid in making music a bit more. This would be really grateful for beginners (speaking for myself) but now I have to sit here and slightly struggle with making chords on the iPad. Maybe I’m doing something wrong please let me know what I can do to change the alien noise that I hear or let me know if it’s not going to stop. Or at least if this is a branded sound affect please let me pay for it to disappear, SOMETHING, just make it go away.

Thank you!. As someone who has struggled with learning this type of thing for my entire life because of ADHD and some other similar issues, this has been a tremendous gift! I am very grateful to it’s developer to helping me finally be able to understand music theory a little more. I love music more than anything and have played in bands most of my life. This app is teaching me the things I have always yearned to be able to grasp and implement into my musical vocabulary. I can’t thank you enough for this app!

The most beautiful and useful music app. I’m an intermediate level self-taught guitar player who recently decided to take lessons and learn applied music theory. There is simply no app that compares to Tonaly! Its helped me take the lessons from my guitar teacher and reinforce concepts I’m learning. The level of detail and depth presented in such a visually beautiful and intuitive interface makes this app worth every penny. If you’re trying to learn music theory or establish a better foundation for your playing/composing, look no further! This app is convenient and thoughtfully made.

Good job!. Incredible app everything I have always looked for I understand chords I understand scales but I can get into the melodies I want this app allowed me to take my idea and put it forward into my music with little hassle quick easy and fun. I would add the if you guys could turn this into a plug-in for DAWs like Ableton or fl studio so then we can use directly in the program. Don’t get me wrong though that midi feature is flawless. I just want to use it in my DAW directly that would be cool. Thanks for this app makes a huge difference in my life.

Fantastic!. The new update brought many nice features including the one crucial for me - the ability to use chords which are not in the current key (mode). I have a suggestion for a future version. Say that I want to add E and E7 to the Am key. And maybe A7, for transitioning to Dm. Those additional chords could be permanently added to the current circle by, for example, stacking them behind the diatonic chords with the same root. A long-press gesture (or something else) could be used for revealing all the non-diatonic chords at the presses root so that we can use, edit or remove them.

Almost Prefect. The application works as advertised and well at that. The latest update makes it easier to compose an entire song for sure. The only reason I’m not giving this a 5 star rating is because we cannot change the duration of a chord in the timeline. If I want a chord to play for only 2 beats, I can’t do that. This seems like something that can be achieved by allowing the user to change the duration while assigning the chord’s value. Maybe a little handle or something. This alone would earn my 5thstar. A nice to have would be midi out feature.

A bang for the buck. I almost never write reviews for apps but this one felt like it deserves a praise. The UI is very appealing with neat colors and the makers of this app clearly did their research on user base because it caters to both beginners and professionals. I’ve been a musician for about six years now and a UX designer for three, and this is the first time I’m seeing two of my favorite things blend into one awesome entity. At first even I thought if it’ll be worth spending the money for and now I’ve realized the vast possibilities this app has to offer. Sometimes I get writers block when trying to come up with a piece and cannot really place the next chord in the sequence and also I’ve had hard time getting my head around different modes. This app surprisingly has it all and I’d highly recommend any musician to check it out.

Great App - If Only it Had Some Drum Beats!. This is a fantastic app for learning and experimenting with composition. My only wish is that it had options to also add a basic drum beat, selected by genre (rock, blues, pop, etc.). That would make it a fully-fledged tool for creating quick backing tracks to improvise over. Such rhythm would give inspiration that a metronome alone cannot. Hopefully it’s a feature that could be added in the future!

Amazing app! Great composition tool!. This is the best song composition tool that I’ve found on the iPad so far. Intuitive and simple, it allows for even those without a knowledge of music theory to create songs that shine. If I had one suggestion for a future feature, it would to add the ability to move song sections around on the edit screen. Hopefully that feature is coming! Thanks so much for the great app and keep up the terrific work!

BEST app for singers/songwriters. As a singer, I’ve always said that my greatest musical instrument was my ear: and this app definitely allows me to show and prove! The depth of chord progressions on this app is amazing. Additionally, I love the ability to “break the mold” with borrowing chords and modifying the root/bass. Furthermore, the fact that you can write in 4/4, ¾, ⅝, 6/8, and ⅞ time signatures is stupendous. If I could make any recommendations, I’d say further customization of inversions and the ability to have up to 8 notes per measure. If I have any sort of complicated rhythm, I currently have to double the tempo to create the rhythms I’d like in the song. Other than that, this app is PERFECTION. It works great for translating my wishes to instrumentalists in rehearsals so they can hear what I hear and we can more easily sync.

Great App!. I downloaded TONALY on a Friday, prior to traveling because I needed an app that would provide me with the circle of fifths for composition, and I was not disappointed. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised by how full this app is with features that help with composition and songwriting, in addition to the view of the circle of fifths. What’s more, you can change the length of chords a chords measures, and save your work to come back later to it. You can very quickly transpose your compositions to hear what they sound like in other keys. If you’re a musician without a background in music education, and even if you are, I would recommend this app be on your device! I’ve also used it to figure out chords to songs quickly, as I’m still learning to do that by ear. This is a very useful on-the-go composition tool, and easy to use for those who are not yet comfortable with theory or their instrument, yet wish to express themselves.

Decent but why are there in-app purchases. This app is $5.99 up front and has a decent chunk of useful practice and writing material but requires $2.99 purchases to unlock more things. For example in the Scales practice mode (the main reason I purchased the app) you get 7 scales to work on but need to pay an additional $2.99 for the other 80 scales , most of which are the ones I intended to use when I got the app🤦🏼‍♂️. I get that some in-app purchases are necessary and I would totally understand if it was a free app but it is already a higher cost in the App Store than most apps so I don’t think you get your money’s worth on it.

Very useful.. I’m loving this app. I’m not using it to compose music yet. I use it to convert music I want to play on guitar and piano to chord sheets and tabs. Doing this with the circle of fifths accessible makes this fast and relatively easy, and to be able to access related chords that are outside the key is a game changer. The flexibility in song construction (verse, chorus bridge, intro, outro, and much more) is important. The feature I need is to allow more chords to the bar. I can work around it by changing tempo but there are limits. Please consider this.

Oh wow!. A major hats off to whoever made this app! I have been really trying to learn music theory so I can learn to play the guitar. What are the scales, what notes go well together, major, minor scales, etc... I downloaded this app not having major expectations. Then bamm! This is a very well developed app, it has all of that knowledge. You can go look at the notes in a key on keyboard, or switch to guitar (which I did). I thought, wow... but surely you don’t have it for a left handed and again... I was pleasantly surprised: they do! A big big big thanks. Miku

Just…Incredible.. I’ve been looking for a tool like this for a while—I’m an audio engineer/songwriter/producer, and this makes a perfect portable companion that lets me compose easily when I’m out and about. It’s suggestion engine is also truly excellent. Honestly I’ve searched high and low, and this is the most intuitive, easy to use, and pragmatic software I’ve found (with excellent ux)—particularly bc I can drag the composition directly into my DAW from the desktop app! I love that I don’t need to create an account for this. It’s so great to have my files remain *mine*, and not be held hostage in some proprietary format in the cloud. Things i would be very happy to pay for in the future, though it’s so great right now, I wouldn’t want to bloat it (maybe 2.0 features or even separate apps that can import from Tonaly?): * I’d love to be able to add lyrics somehow, even if it’s totally disconnected from the chord progression ui * Tonaly for rhythm, melody, harmony, arrangements Saying that, I’m just very happy with this tool, and doing the arrangements in my DAW! I look forward to seeing what else this developer comes up with in the future.

App breaking bug. Been loving this app. However after renaming a song I had been working on, the app hard locked where it just turned to a dark grey screen. Cool, apps crash. Close app and reopen it. Shows TONALY logo then goes back to grey screen. Cool, guess I’ll delete it and redownload, it has cloud save so I won’t lose anything. Amazing that works. However the app will soft lock to the grey screen whenever I try to do anything. I can look at my songs that I’ve already worked on but add a line? Lock to grey screen. So app is unfortunately unusable for me at this current state. Pretty sad.

worth every penny. i’m self taught on the keys for the past 2 years and just started taking lessons where i had to get my fingerings together with Scales. this App has been so helpful in learning how to transpose in all keys, and knowing my 1-7 in each key. the extra $2.99 for the scales is also a huge plus for those who are looking to diversify their sound and learn all types of scales. i also love the song writing mode that shows you what a typical chorus will start on in terms of key (cmaj verse, to a min bridge with a 6234 progression for instance). i recommend this to anyone who wants to better their playing. couple this app with lessons and you can really become deadly on the keys!!!

Nailed it. This app was designed by someone who is obviously a genius who somehow understands intuitive usability and the needs of a songwriter. It’s mind blowing how great this app is for creating the form of a song. Chord progressions that you can play in different instruments, arrangement, and more. I’m happy to write this review. I am genuinely obsessed with this app and I can’t think of anyway it could be better but perhaps it could add Abelton link support? It’s basically perfect though. I think it’s my new favorite app. It’s useful and fun, It’s a musical secret weapon. If this is over the top it’s because this app has triggered a manic episode and I’m just super excited in general. But it doesn’t mean my rambling is full of bull.

Am I missing something?. Soooo please tell me if I’m just not using it right, but this isn’t the most diverse app in the world re: rhythm. There don’t seem to be options for changing strumming patterns for guitar, all down strokes on the beat and you can only add two chords to a measure via the split tool. If you’re trying to do anything beyond generating chord tabs, this ain’t the one. I wish it was, but I was hoping for something more like a portable DAW and less like an ultimate tabs . com generator. Again- PLEASE tell me if I’m just missing something. I’ve watched some tutorials and seem to have hit the bottom of this app rather quickly.

Perfect but. First off I love this app, very helpful and gives good insight if you are beginning your music theory/writing journey how ever there are some flaws. The app does not display chord for many scales melodic/alt etc. And it is kind of limited in the colors of music it helps you to use don’t be expecting an advanced app for jazz theory (it would be awesome if it was) but over all it is great and hope to see some updates that help with more harmony and jazz theory, I’m guessing jazz students are the majority of the people who downloaded this app. 🤩

This app got WAAAAAAAY better. I downloaded this app a while back and used it maybe 3 times and haven’t used it since. I’m supposed to be writing a paper right now so naturally I’m going through every single app on my phone to procrastinate. I’m not sure when these guys updated this app but MAN I’m actually excited to use it for what it’s for. The navigation is improved and the quick tips are crazy helpful (so far). Not sure how much I spent on this but it couldn’t have been anything crazy. If you’re looking for an app that will give you a bit of inspiration chord-wise, this app is great.

If I could be an ambassador I would. I love this app so much I’ve literally plugged it to all my students and friends. Super fun to work with and makes the composition process approachable and fun. I recommend this app for anyone just starting out in music, people looking to brush up their chops, or musicians who are looking for teaching tools for their students ✨ I would give it a 5 if when exporting the PDFs it gave an option to have the chords notated with notes on the staff. I feel like that would bring the app to the next level.

It’s ok. I think the app would be best for someone who has more experience writing songs, but in that case they probably wouldn’t need an app to memorize there circle of fifths. There are many online tools for the circle of fifths, which is what this app is basically about. If the app was more user friendly, and more beginner based, and had drum tracks and more, it would be worth the 7 dollars, app should be free based on its value. I haven’t used it once. Beginner at songwriting, been playing for a few years, just learning to improvise and write my own songs and sing.

A priceless tool for the modern day songwriter. I study music and perform for a living as well as write my own music on the side. This is a wonderful tool that allows a visual learner like myself to see a chord progression and hear it at the same time. Instead of plinking chords for a half hour trying to find a groove, I can mess around with this for a bit until I find something I like and then bring it over to the piano. This app saved a ton of time for me and I am so glad I purchased it. This is an essential tool for me these days. I would highly recommend!

Astounding little app. A fabulous learning tool. This is so wonder for me as I am learning more theory as a way to increase inspiration and capabilities in songwriting. It does so much that it took me a couple of tries to scratch the surface - and that’s all I feel I’ve done - of this swell little tool for viewing and learning theory in such a unique way. Also want to mention that I love the popular songs it will play through so you can see much of how they are constructed.

This app is great!. I’m a self taught guitar player. Only scale I’ve ever known was the pentatonic. With this awesome app, you can put chords together, then go practice different scales in key! I’m shredding like I’ve never done before! “I got blisters on me fingers!” I really like that it shows the scale on the whole fret board also. I just look at the screen and shred away. With time and practice with this app I’ll memorize these scales. Thank you!

Absolutely Brilliant (two suggestions, though). Hats off to the developer(s). This app is so well thought out and designed. I’m absolutely in love with it. A great tool for learning, songwriting, and deconstructing popular songs for making your own arrangements. One thing I’d really like to see added is more in depth archive options when you save songs. I’m in the process of building out covers I know and would love the ability to tag songs to a genre, artists, etc. and be able to type in a search bar to jump right to it. It would also be nice to be able to add custom text fields above song parts. If I could just type in the first line of lyrics for versus, choruses, so on that’d be awesome. Then this app will be dang near perfect! 🤙 There are options to export out to PDF lead sheets so you could still use this app as a tool for building a good archive system yourself, but the app design and functionality is so beautiful I don’t wanna leave it.

Poor privacy **UPDATED** worse than I thought. UPDATE 5/5/21: A closer look into their data policies reveals that they provide our personal data to at least 3 other companies, each with their OWN privacy policies. Once again, kudos to Apple for forcing companies to reveal this in a way most of us can understand. The following is from the app privacy policy where they tell you where your private data is being sent. “Facebook Analytics for Apps: Personal Data: Usage Data; various types of Data as specified in the privacy policy of the service Facebook Lookalike Audience: Personal Data: Cookies; Usage Data TestFlight: Personal Data: device logs; email address Sentry: Personal Data: various types of Data as specified in the privacy policy of the service.” When I purchase a product, I expect to get and use the product without it being a spy inserted into my life. I’m deleting this app, and would never have purchased it if they had disclosed it was spyware at the time I purchased it. Kudos to Apple for requiring these folks to disclose their data collection policies.

like a musician’s sketchbook in your pocket. great app! recommend it to anyone, particularly those going through a bit of writer’s block who don’t really have all their music theory put together (like me, lol) only issues i have are spoiled ones. i wish there were ways to have chords play when i want them to. for example, if i’m writing in 4/4, i may want: chord I, chord II/III, chord IV, chord V here i would have my third chord progression come in on the second chord’s third and fourth beat, and there’s no way (that i know of) to do that... if it’s 4/4 then i only can use 4 chords. no more, no less. speaking of less, what if i want my third chord to hold out in place of a fourth chord? if i want to replicate that, i have to just repeat the chord in the fourth spot and it’s just not the same i feel like if there was a way to implement these improvements, it would make this app so much more dynamic and a true songwriters companion. no hate tho, i really like this app and would still recommend it!

This app is really useful. I honestly think I’ve written the best chord progression I’ve ever made with the help of this app. I love that you can write is more experimental scales, like harmonic minor. There are a few things that I would love to see in this app that would change my review to 5-Star: -Change how many chords are in a chord progression. I really want to work with 32 chords. You can only do 4 and 8 now. -Add a seventh on to a single chord without having to make all of them sevenths. You can currently only do this with some of the scales, I believe. -Save chord progression to the app. -Change which octave a chord is being played in. I really want to be able to use this app on the go whenever I’m bored and not sitting beside a piano or my PC. I think these things would really help the app become more useful.

Ideas for new updates. App is pretty good and fun to use. I recommend getting it to anyone who wants a better understanding of progressions. I would hope to see in the future options for saving chord progressions, making chord progressions that are longer than 8 bars, and possibly different instrument sounds. I think these are all relatively easy additions. I would also recommend an option to use chords from the parallel minor or modal interchange. This would be a tremendously better app if it had that. It would be worth way more money. I would even pay in app purchase for it if it worked well. I'd rather see it free but people need money. This app is good and is updated pretty regularly. I'd give it five stars if they manage to bring my suggestions to life. I'm hopeful because these don't seem like they would be incredibly hard to add to the already good UI. I would also like to point out a glitch where if you exit to home screen out of the app while having a chord progression being played it can make a horrible spazz noise. Overall really good app that's actually worth the price I'd buy it again.

Limitations. The chord choices are limited. For example, you can’t do certain altered chords like dominant 7 b5b9. Suspended cords are their own category so you couldn’t do dominant 9 sus 4. My favorite chord of all time, the 6/9 is also missing. This app automagically does inversions so that sometimes makes things weird. My verse went up an octave on the second playback for example. The slash chords may not sound the way you want either with the automagic. Another annoyance is not being able to tie in chords from the previous bar. For example, in 4/4 time if I put in a dotted half note, I want to be able to use time longer than a quarter into the next bar. You can try to finagle this by altering tempo and getting things to fit into bars, but that ruins your entire structure. This app is promising but I was disappointed. I hesitate to suggest features, but if you’re still listening at this point then I might suggest adding a method for inserting melody; it would give some use to the keyboard which just seems to otherwise be in the way of the songwriter.

Frustrating. Limited chord extension choices chords are squashed together in the same octave with no options to change it chord extensions with guitar option enabled have buggy playback. and because of the limited choice for voicings in my previous point it sounds unnatural and confusing you can't easily delete chords out of your existing progression for some reason without starting a new project chord suggestion feature is confusing because it forces you to replace the existing chord you have selected with the suggested next chord... in which case how can i use that to actually create a progression then?? i do think this app has the potential but these subtle issues are so frustrating and prevent this from being an actually useful songwriting tool. i highly recommend Scaler VST from plugin boutique. they are not mobile but it is undoubtedly the best chord prog tool..... nothing gets even close

Keeps Getting Better. I love Tonally. I does all it claims to do as a basic songwriting tool. Think of it as a songwriting sketch pad. Pro features would include the ability to place a different chord on every downbeat (this would allow you to do chord walk ups or walk downs). Currently the app only allows you to subdivide the bar in half thereby placing chords on the 1 and 3. You can extend or lengthen the amount of time a chord plays however you are currently prevented from further subdividing or muting a potion of a chord after making the first subdivision. Furthermore I wholeheartedly agree with my fellow reviewers who have asked for the ability to make chord inversions. Inversions really affect the feel of a song and are a must. I envision Tonally one day being a stand-alone app giving songwriters the ability to fully write and arrange a song and then export a fully fuctional lead sheet. When that day comes expect my rating to jump to a five.

Wonderful app. Love the app very much and I don’t recall how much I paid for it but it was worth it. I got it many many years ago and didn’t end up using it but there has been significant updates sense then to where I’m glad I got in early. I know everyone has suggestions and I don’t mean to take anything from the app because it’s A1 but my main wish is that I could change the voicings manually— I am trying to replay chords in my head often so I don’t always recognize the inversions the app picks automatically with the tones I’m hearing in my mind. Also... a lesser point is— if you buy the Mac version you get the phone version also, I do wish it also worked in reverse— I wish having bought the phone version also got you the Mac version but I don’t recall if the pricing is compatible but even a discount would be preferred because had the Mac version been out when I bought this I’d have went strait to that.

Great musical tool! Plus two suggestions. Tonaly has been the perfect tool for me to start messing around with chords. I’m fairly new to music theory but this app makes it really simple and quick to navigate. The UI is really clean and works perfectly. For anyone wondering if the price is worth it, in my opinion absolutely. If you are looking for a quick and easy way to make chord progressions, or a more advanced tool to help you write your song, Tonaly can definitely help! My only two suggestions are an option to have the chords play in different octaves (without auto inversions having to be on). When I want to listen to a higher octave I have to turn on auto inversions, which is a feature I love but I don’t always want to use it. My other suggestions is for the chords outside the current key to still have a Roman numeral to show how they relate to the original key. (For example showing Cm as i, when the project is in a key of C. Or C# showing as bII, at least I think that’s how it would be written. I’m still learning! 😂

Love this app + feature request. This is my go-to app to find chord progressions and help with scales. Being able to AirDrop the chords straight from my phone into my DAW is amazing (and it works great with Logic). The only feature I would like is in the scales. I would like it to highlight all the note in the scale on the “keyboard”, without pressing the notes for it to play one by one. I can’t read sheet music well, so seeing all the notes written out that way doesn’t help me. Other than I love this app, keep up the great work!

Overcharged for scale pack. Love the app so far - very quick and intuitive to use. Already have a couple of compositions saved and can jam out to the progression with my instruments to work on parts, etc. it would be cool to have more than one chord per measure, been using double time tempo to get around that. I purchased the additional scales pack and was overcharged. It said it was going to charge me $1.99, but I was actually charged $8.42. So buyer beware, you will be charged more than what is listed.

Possible Updates. This app is great for many different reason, but thought maybe it would be cool if you could change the chords up per measure and have triplet beats. This app is fun to tap the chords as the click track plays at different grooves almost like a sampler, it gives it that chopped sound that has and will always be so popular hip hop crowds. Would be cool to be able to record them as you tap them. I do understand that’s a great reason for the midi export but just a suggestion. Also, maybe I’m not smart enough to find it but is there a way to do inversions? Thanks keep making music fun.

Just wow.. This app is beyond astonishing and the ease of use for a beginner to a virtuoso is just incredible. I was skeptical going into the purchase due to the lack of attention to detail and disarray of previous apps but this is the PLATINUM standard in the what should be used for learning theory on a whim and combined with creativity is debate fully an absolute NEED in your arsenal when playing guitar/ writing or learning music in general. I can say with confidence that this is the pinnacle of an interactive and informative experience that can further your abilities as a musician with the proper work ethic. GET IT, you can’t regret it!

Best Circle of Fifths App so far. This app is really a nicely done music tool with a great UX. There are a few comments critical of aspects that it lacks to which I would comment give it a chance. The developer appears to be very responsive to suggestions and this is a first cut. We need great tools like this so let’s give them support so they can work on it to continue making improvements. I see a lot of potential for this tool and hope everyone can see this as well and support it. Spread the word. Great job! Looking forward to future versions. Thank you.

Great!. Love having 80 plus scales in my pocket! The only thing I’d like to see is clickable notes on the guitar scale page with sound bites like the piano. Also, me being a simpleton, I’d like to see each scale shape individually instead of just all shapes on the fretboard (maybe in a separate menu). Not a big deal but seeing notes on the first fret confuse my poor brain 😂. Regardless, incredible work put into this app!!

Awesome app. Brilliant set up and so easy to use. I’m a long time novice when it comes to actual musical information and am self taught so this is the perfect app to help me dive into a deeper understanding of building songs and finding more intricate ways to bring a melody to life. Thank you for the work you do, it’s inspiring the work I do

Awesome, but... Hey Christian, love this app and have been using it for a while now. However, I really enjoyed using the experimental modes (e.g incorporating the harmonic minor into my progressions). I can’t seem to find where to activate experimental modes. Is this still a feature in the new update? Cheers!

Excellent app ! A must have if you love music theory. A must have if you love music theory

Great. Great app, but would be nice if we could use our own custom tunings for the guitar neck scale display or add extra strings for 7/8/9 string guitars

Almost but needs a few small changes.. A great app. I wish it had a selection for six string bass. I also wish for more chord voicing and configuration. Still it is a good application.

Really excellent :). Could not be done better. Thanks very much!!!

It’s fantastic!. I have searched and searched for something as good as this. The price is fair and the app is really user friendly. This has made music production so much easier and the export to Midi functionality is super great! All rounded great app for musicians and producers!

Love this app - No more glitches during playback woo!. Hi there - this app is super great and very intuitive. Thanks!! “I’m also experiencing some glitching in the sounds during playback. I’m using an iPhone 6Plus and not currently connected to any Bluetooth device.” Thanks for fixing this issue!! Still a great app 😋✌🏻 Cheers!

Really nice app.. Well done on the app. It’s a pleasure to use. Is there a way to pick which inversion of the chord to voice out? That would be incredible and very useful.

School price deal?. Hi just wondering if you would do a deal for schools purchasing this for their students?

Great app!. Very intuitive and logically laid out.

Excellent Music Tool but has some slight issues. The app is well thought out and useful but I can hear random static noises when playing chords and there is a bit of lag. Overall it’s not too big of an issue and the app does exactly what it claims to do. Had these issues not appeared, this would’ve been a 5/5.

I can’t get back to my song. I was making a song and then I went to popular songs and clicked on one and now I can’t get back to my song. But the app is really good

Good. Any chance of allowing custom note editing for each chord? So you can make custom sus chords, clusters, etc?

Whoever made this deserves a noble prize!!. Excellent tool for learning chords, scales and a handy song builder!! I’ve discovered my inspiration all over again learning basic chord progressions that fit and jamming scales over the top!

Song writing ease. Makes learning your progressions so much faster, Easy to use when my guitar isn’t near and I want some backing for lyric creation. 3/3 👍🏽’s from me

Great tool. Very useful addition to learning

Feedback. An « chords/scales compatibility » function could make this app complete (essential)! Thanks All Modes representation (notes of a mode pattern) on fretboard for every scale. Using degree mode on fretboard instead of notes.

Over expected !!!. I can see a huge amount of effort was put in developing to come up with an app that is both excelent in UX/UI design and professional music theories. Simple to navigate, lots of functions (even without the expansion), thorough guiding tour, ... One small recommendation is that I would love to see the note-by-note chord playback option (I don’t know how to call this) beside the default playback. Hats off for the dev team 👏

Such a time saver. I used to spend hours coming up with chord progressions and going back and forth from the Hooktheory books but now with this I don’t even have to have my MacBook to come up with the bones of a song. It really allows me to concentrate on the feeling of the chords rather than the theory of why they work together and speeds up my productions 1000%

Amazing!. Always wanted something like this!

Good but buggy. The App is great The App needed to be forced shut twice in a day. Not very stable

Missing ability to change b to # on iPad. Great app! Latest update adds the ability to display chords in the circle as either b or # (e.g. Ab or D#), but this functionality seems to be missing from the ipad version and only works on iPhone. Would love if the developer could fix this.

Need help. Having issue while exporting midi to my laptop DAW (ableton Live) because its doesn’t open ....

Version francaise. La version francaise est-elle en projet ?

An amazing tool to speed up songwriting. This app is to say the least incredible. Yes it does serve as a chord progressions maker but it has so much more to offer than just that. Any scales be it piano or guitar it has ready for you depending on what key or mode you’re in. I would recommend this to any songwriters who don’t have the full grasp on music theory since this will help familiarize you with the concept and speed up your creation abilities.

Excellent. Well thought out app. One of the apps I use on a regular basis.

Great. Love it but two suggestions - I wish I could filter the scales. I bought the expansion but I only need maybe 20 of the 80. Would be nice to hide the ones I don’t use often. Also I’d like to see the locrian aeolian mixed scale added, due to its prominence in metal.

Could be amazing. I must say this app has so much potential. The exporting to midi is amazing but the biggest issue I have is that you can’t change what fret to play the chord on. It shows you alternative finger placements but I need to switch to that finger placement... a B sounds great with a F#m but not when the B is on the 7th fret and not the third. If a feature when you changed the alternative fingers it also changed the chord to that fret this would be a easy 5 star

Great app. It’s a great app but I wish there was a ukulele fretboard and chord diagram. Please add this and more instruments. Also a way to distinguish the root note of chords displayed on fretboard or piano would be nice. Keep up the good work.

Finally Understanding Theory. This is the best app I’ve used for learning theory!! It would be neat to support landscape mode and to have midi out so I can write a song and send the midi out from this app to another iOS app without the need to export a midi file. If this is possible I haven’t found out how to do it but if not I think A LOT of people would love that kind of feature in the future.

Almost perfect songwriting tool. This has been my go to songwriting tool for a while. I find it great for sketching out and experimenting with new ideas and scales. I have to knock off one star because of not being able to share my files between my phone and tablet via iCloud. That would make it the perfect tool for me.

Needs this feature. One of my favorite apps. Love the save feature, now I can save my creations. The one thing it’s missing is the ability to alter the minimum amount of beats per chord. The metronome works so that each chord gets a minimum of 4 clicks before it switches to next user inputed chord. There should be a way to edit this so that some chords, still locked into the tempo, can switch faster, maybe I only want my Bm for half the bar, and then an A chord for the other half. An edit feature where I can adjust the “length” that a chord rings out over the metronome would make this app perfect.

Useful tool.... getting better!. It's odd that the chord buttons only play the sound upon release and not when tapped.

I absolutely love this app but.... I wish there was a feature to record notes, voice and other instruments along with the progressions. Sometimes when I'm singing and freestyling with the chords on the go If I don't record it I instantly forget and regret my life choices. I tried using the recording feature on my phone but I can't hear the chords in the app when it's on; and if I use a different device to record the sound isn't as crisp as I'd like it to be. It you are able to add this feature I'd appreciate it. Oh would you also be able to add chord notations I'm sorry if I'm asking for alot 😅. Either way I still love this app.

Retour. J’aime bien l’app. Le seul bémol c’est que ça sonne pas en violon lorsque je choisis le violon comme instrument. À part ça, ça me permet de bien faire mes exercices, gammes et modes

Great with 2 wishes. 1 - Would like to be able to see intervals on guitar fretboard. 2 - MacOs version.

Good tool. First of all, thank you for this amazing app. It’s easy to use, super helpfull for songwriting and has a good flow/intuitive design. On another subject, I would like to know what’s the synth « sound patch » your using? I really like the sound and Im trying to find something similar on my Roland, Im getting close, but not exactly! Thanks, it would be appreciated :)

Fantastic learning tool, has a great opportunity for MIDI control. Love everything about this app - MIDI export is a great feature but I would love to see it go one step further and add inter-app control along with real-time MIDI output via WiFi or lightning cable.

Great idea, lacklustre features. Was looking for a tool to help me write songs, saw the advertisement on Instagram and it seemed like something I’d be interested in... I really hope there are more features in the future like changing from 4/4 to 3/4 and doing more than just 8 bars. More chord variations would be great too.... Very disappointed in this app because it has potential but feels extremely barebones. I wouldn’t be so critical if this was a free app... unfortunately it is not. I hope the developer updates this app with features so I can re-review the app and use it for writing music.

Amazing app. I barely write a review but this app really deserves it! I was really surprised how much you got for this price. It’s working perfectly smooth and has many options. For me as a beginner to guitar this helps me a lot! Thank you! You did a really good job!

Good but lacking certain features. Nice app with colorful UI; however, lacking features such as manual chord inversions. Chord Suggester is another paid app that has more features and additional voicings.

Awesome. This is exactly what I was looking for! I’m a guitar player looking to level up on music theory and I find these tools so helpful.

I love it - must have for musicians of any level!. I really enjoy the clear and easy layout - colors and general UI experience! I was wondering on the possibility to add modality when changing chords? (Like let’s hear how this G chord would sound if it was borrowed from Lydian or Phrygian for example) does that makes sense? Anyways great job, love the app :)

Thank you TONALY.. This app is incredible. Honestly I’ve just been looking for an all encompassing app for modes and scales. The layout is so neat. One thing I do wonder though... is there a way I can like move the scale chart while the audio plays the scale? I’d love to be able to practice all positions of the scale without having to put my guitar down to scroll it to the right or left.

Mesure. À moins que je ne me trompe, on ne peut mettre deux accords dans une même mesure..

Impeccable app. I can’t find much more to say but this: excellent tool for any musician / enthusiast. Kids love noodling around with it, I use it seriously as a music writing aid, doubles as a great learning tool.

I love this app!. I’ve been using this app for about a week now and it’s amazing! It’s what I’ve been looking for and didn’t even know it. It’s made songwriting SO MUCH EASIER, and everything in the app is so smooth and great to use. Honestly worth every penny. The MIDI export works great too!

Who Made This App?!. You’re an absolute genius. Thank you. By far the greatest app on my phone. I don’t like paying for apps but this one is priceless. The knowledge it gives you in real time takes most people, like me, a lifetime to learn. If you are a Music Producer, this is a necessity.

This app is really useful. I honestly think I’ve written the best chord progression I’ve ever made with the help of this app. I love that you can write is more experimental scales, like harmonic minor. There are a few things that I would love to see in this app that would change my review to 5-Star: -Change how many chords are in a chord progression. I really want to work with 32 chords. You can only do 4 and 8 now. -Add a seventh on to a single chord without having to make all of them sevenths. You can currently only do this with some of the scales, I believe. -Save chord progression to the app. -Change which octave a chord is being played in. I really want to be able to use this app on the go whenever I’m bored and not sitting beside a piano or my PC. I think these things would really help the app become more useful.

Awesome!. As a fairly new student of music theory this app is a must for me. I am a very visual learner and the ability to pull up practically any scale or mode and immediately see the notes and chords, along with the key signature is fantastic. The song writing function is also very cool and fun.

Great tool for songwriting!. Templates give you great inspiration to get started; the ability to mix and match chords to your liking helps you fine tune the tone. An absolute songwriters tool, especially while on the go! It’s a savior for someone like me, that doesn’t play any instrument.

Why auto-enter enter edit mode on rapid-tap?. The app ALREADY has a button on the WHEEL for when I want to enter edit mode. Why does it ALSO do that whenever I rapidly tap one of the chords on my song’s chord set? :: This additional (and redundant) way of entering edit mode is NOT a CONVENIENCE, but a NUISANCE —- as in m y songwriting creative process, the ability to trigger chords like this is CRUCIAL. :: This app is WEAKENED by the fact that I have to avoid tapping any of the chords too rapidly. And the reason I am deducting TWO stars for this shortcoming is because I have noticed that I have been avoiding USING this app as a result of this annoying “feature”. :: When I want to enter edit mode — the button on the WHEEL is SUFFICIENT. Please at least give me a WAY to DISABLE the rapid double-tap means of entering that mode.

Great app, missing some important features, though. The app offers a variety of features that are super useful for composing a tune, however there are some features that are either hard to find or navigate through, the biggest one for me being that you can’t change the length of chords, only the general time signature. This really limits your options when you’re getting creative.

Great App period. I’ve been around a long time. Not only is this the most complete and useful Circle of Fifths tool that I’ve seen in book, or application format, it’s just a great app all around. It introduces user interface paradigms that should become part of iOS and the Mac, and that’s saying a lot. Steve would be proud.

Awesome but.... I’ve been with you guys since the beginning of your UJAM website days, even back then I was blown away by what you had accomplished! My hats off to you guys, first the site, then the virtual instruments (which are off the hook!!), and now this! Sheer brilliance!! You took the best of the song writing portion of UJAM and put it in an app, wonderful!!! Only a couple of things... 1st: (at least on my iPad anyway) when I exported the midi via email, I couldn’t write anything in either the subject line, or the body. 2nd: The bass note can’t be changed in a chord, only the root is available. It would be perfect if a multiple bass note function was offered. Other than those two things, well done!! Fantastic job!!! Musicman1099

Great tool, great design. Elegantly designed and easy to use. There’s a wealth of information and utility here. Nice little touches like the next chord in the sequence flickering before it plays. A few small translation quirks in English, but no doubt they’ll get smoothed out in future updates.

Love the app. One suggestion. I feel as an end user that there should be a “start new progression” feature. Like I get the let me hear others songs. But I may just want to jump in and start creating. Anyway. Thanks. Appreciate your doing what you did. Is very functional and the price is great

This app is great ! Just one small problem. This app is truly amazing and I love it although, there is one slight feature I don’t like and that is not being able to have a ukulele playback sound. I do hope for it to be added in soon other than that it’s great ! :)

Good but no midi capability. This is has many great uses, however it’s almost painful to use without midi capability. I would like to be able to key in chords or practice scales without having to tap on my iPad screen all of the time. Being able to practice keying in chords & scales would be better preparation for piano practice later on.

The best. This app shows the interplay of the scales, modes, and progressions in the circle. It is great for songwriters, music students and theorists. Works well for all instruments; plus works great as a backing track to get down the basics of scales and modes. Also great for improvising basics. A must have for all music students.

Very useful, but battery issues. Really intuitive app that I enjoy using! However it seems this app really taxes my phone as it gets hot almost immediately and dims the screen on my device. Perhaps some process can be disabled while the screen is static?

Great app! Except one big missing part!. I love how the app is helping us to find good matching chords to help us start making songs, but I think this app is missing one big part of song writing! The writing part! I really hope this app could let us take notes for lyrics and ideas while we play the chords in the app. Except that, this app is very handy and motivative thanks!

This literally changed the way I write, play, and hear music!. The circle of fifths always escaped me, or the paper charts I drew were slow and cumbersome. I could figure it out with a piano, but it took time. This lets you variate chords, build sections, and transpose really easily. I recommend it to everyone who makes music or wants to understand it better.

Easy and Diverse. I never write reviews, but I'm happy enough with the product, that a positive review is easily justified. I remember paying for something with this product. Either the app itself or an upgrade to more functions: regardless, it was nominal, and I'm always using it, as a reference or to experiment with, while writing.

Thanx guys/gals for a great app. I truly appreciate the concept and presentation you folks put together in this app. I find it to be very intuitive and useful for learning and for sparking my creativity in regards to chords /voicings and progressions. I would gladly pay along the way for new features/functionality as you work it in. A quick suggestion: The popular song section is a great idea. Maybe add a section for common song forms. Strophic, Verse/Bridge, Verse/Chorus, Verse/Chorus/Bridge, 12 bar blues etc.... With a example of a song using the corresponding form. Just my two cents. If there is anything I could do to help, let me know. Thanks again

*Help*. It needs Single notes function to be playable with or without midi keyboard and single note recording needs arpeggios need a dlc or different app that does drum loops but for now single notes to be recorded would be a big help that way we can finish our songs using your app please im begging you i bought all items i need this app but i need those single notes too.

Truly great app. I have owned the app for a while now but hadn’t really taken advantage of all it has to offer until recently. There is so much you can do here and there is an excellent guidebook to help learn to do it. I am using the app as a scale practice tool, to try out new chord progressions and to better understand the circle of fifths. Really well done with great functions and very well designed graphics. Love it.

I don’t normally write reviews but.... This application has finally gifted me access to the knowledge I have been trying to fully learn for years. It’s simple and intuitive design is easy to figure out for beginners to masters. Extremely handy for songwriters of any eastern scale genre!

Can’t play along with chords in practice mode. So I purchased this because it has shows the ability to practice scales and modes against chords. But the chords can’t sustain. You literally have to tap the chord with your finger to hear it. And it holds for about 2 seconds. This is basically a useless feature to me if I cannot play along to the chords. And it’s the only reason I bought the app.

Beautiful and functional. Please don’t stop song playback when I switch scales. I have a song playing in C major then I switch to the Scales view and switch to the C major pentatonic scale and then the playback of the song stops

Great..but not yet perfect!. Love this app! It’s super helpful for beginners. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because it does not have a zoom feature. I have bad eyes and it can be very hard to see the scales when I’m any distance away from the screen. If they add this feature I will update my review to 5 stars :)

Excellent with new update. I have been waiting eagerly for the developer to add the feature whereby one can add a chord not within the current key. Now that this feature has been added I feel like the app is now in a way complete, at least for me. This is a capability that is an integral option for the more serious composer. Great work laddie.

Need the new scales available in songwriting mode!!. Love this app! I’ve been using it for almost three years now and it helps my process so much! It’d be a dream to have the new scales available in songwriting mode! At the very least the pentatonic scales. Thanks for all you do!!

Bad bug. Hi this app is so good but have a bug. When you select a chord and see that on the piano its ok but when select on the 🔈 to hear that again the chord be changed on piano scale . for example you select dMinor when you wanna hear that again and selwct on the 🔈 chord on piano gonna be changed .plz fix that and i fix my language 😁✌🏽

A go-to app!. I never leave reviews but use this app almost daily. This is an amazing tool for songwriting and deconstructing songs for practice. Changing modes is a breeze and it’s great for learning scales. Love the thoughtful features that allow midi as well- huge time saver and really well designed. Kudos!

Mostly good. For the most part I think this app is fun and helpful, but I’m a little confused sometimes when I’m working with modes and the 5 chord ends up being lower than the 1? Additionally I paid for the add on to get more scales and it doesn’t actually let you study modes in different scales such as harmonic minor. Over all still very good, definitely some room for improvement though in my opinion.

Very cool app. Very good for song writers! Please add more flexibility w the grid.. (I.e. being able to put chords in any part of a bar) This app can be a go to song idea machine for musicians before We record them.. also say I have a chord progression playing, u guys should make it so that when The user switches to scales the user can write a melody also.

Great app and highly recommend! But just one thing.... Why were the key signatures taken out when I switch to the Harmonic minor? It helped out so much when it showed the Roman numerals and the key on the staff. I like the idea of the parallel minor chords thing, but I wish that didn’t take away from displaying solely the harmonic minor on the circle.

I like it but.... It doesn’t have the whole circle of fifths. It just shows the basic keys. Ever thought about putting in the harmonic minors? I keep hearing music in the key of Dm but you don’t list Dm, I think it’s the harmonic minor of F, and since I’m not sure, I have to lol to other resources to verify my info. My lack of understanding music theory is one thing, trying to make music is another. I’m grateful I found your app but I think I would use other resources first before I bought yours. Best wishes.

Great app but. There must be some technical issue, for some reason it ran down my battery with 5 hours of background activity. I don’t understand why the app needs to run *at all* in the background but it certainly shouldn’t be wasting 38% of my battery in 5 hours!!! Other than that, the app is fantastic, I’ve used it for about a year now to write many songs but it looks like it’s a bad option if it’s going to waste this much battery unless I kill it every time!!

Best app to write songs with.. If you think about it the hardest part is knowing the general key and flow a song is going to take. Once that’s there the songs really write themselves if you’re honest about the idea you want to convey

Awesome Music Writing Tool. I really enjoy this app it is very intuitive its a one of a kind app I love that it gives you everything you need to be creative in the lab (STUDIO) I write everything from Gospel to jazz to Prog Rock this little investment will keep even the newest producer on point thanks developers for making such an awesome and amazing Music Tool!

Cool but shallow. Nice interface but doesn’t run very deep. Being able to borrow chords is pretty clutch as well as come up with something other than a standard 4 bar progression. An option to invert the chords and borrow chords from other modes would make it way more solid. Also, the internal audio engine sounds like it’s clipping/sample of the piano sound very crappy.

Phenomenal. Helped me fill in so many gaps in my theory knowledge and then some. As a result, it’s become a studio staple. One ‘quality of life’ feature I would like to see added is the ability to drag and drop chords when in the edit window.

This app is amazing. Yes it has in app purchases but i dont care ill pay money for things that give lots of value. This app deserves it. Im sick of modes and other rare scales being under appreciated and underused. Theres so many more possibilities with music than just the C major scale. Come on, modes are where its at i cant wait to dive into the exotic scales section. Thank you for making this app.

It’s not that intuitive. I enjoy playing with it and it is helpful in knowing what chords go great together. It’s hard to use though. It’s not intuitive... like I try to do one thing and I can’t when once I could but because I’m on another page thing I can’t do what I could before. It’s just frustrating. I would buy this if I knew it would work better.

So far it’s solid. So far this app is pretty solid, I’m getting more aware of music theory as a language and to be able to see what might or could be next and being able to interact with it makes expressing myself and progressing my skills an easier process. One thing i would have liked to see or “hear” is realistic instrument sounds, Clicking the chord i chose and playing it on keys or guitar doesn’t match up well. So saying that, anyone who isn’t able to refer the apps musical to a real life instrument could detour them away from what could have actually been a very nice project. Just my two cents, thanks to the team that’s behind this app,

Nice app- responsive help desk. Had an issue and sent a snarky note to the contact email expecting no response as is common. Only to discover the issue I had was generated by my equipment. I got an email from TONALY support quickly responding, with real advice. I responded and thanked them and they answered. It appears an actual human in Germany had responded. That support alone is justification for the cost.

Good idea and pretty interface but.... This looks like a good idea and definitely the kind of tool I need, but I am currently having 2 issues with the app as I use it through a Bluetooth amp to jam on the tracks. - the playback volume cannot be changed while using the app. I have to switch to another app (My MP3 player) to increase or decrease the volume and go back to that guy. - I can’t switch to another app while playing back the chords. It causes the playback to immediately stop.

Really cool app, needs more features for writing jazz. Super cool app, really easy to use, lots of flexibility. Maybe I’m missing something but this app doesn’t seem to support altered dominant chords. The song I’m working on right now uses a F7b13 and the closest chord I can find is F13. I’ll still give this app 5 stars because it’s fantastic!

Needs update. For some reason my chords are all stuck on major 7th mode (the triangle symbol) and every time I try to change it to a regular major chord, it reverts back to the major 7th. I hit the green check mark and it still does it. Any ideas?

OMG... is this real?. This is amazing! Thank you thank you thank you Mr. Developer-who-is-also-a-musician! This is crazy useful. I have one of my guitars on permanent DADGAD and i didn't want to keep tuning it back to standard, now I can play anything and everything else using this app! Did I already say thank you? Thank you!!!

Fantastic tool that takes away the pen and paper. The circle of fifths is a fantastic tool period. I memorized it and drew it out for years but now I don’t have to do that if I ever need to look at it and utilize it. Not only that but this app will play scales and progressions giving instant feedback for ideas. I love it and use it all the time. Wish I had it sooner.

Wonderful app and super prompt response from Developer to address emerging issues. This app has become a staple for me and I am impressed by Christian‘s attention to detail and user satisfaction. I anticipate great things to come within this app as well. Bravo and thanks for such a thoughtful and useful tool!

Very cool and helpful. I would like to be able to step through the notes on tab mode to give me time to figure out the chord. As far as I can see you can only slow the bpm down but you can’t pause. Other than that, totally worth buy.

Please fix this. The look is really good, the functionality is superb, but FIX the freaking sound issue already!!! EVERYTIME I try to use this app there’s crackling noise, sometimes the distortion turns this app not useful at all. I tried the fix button in the troubleshooting section and 5 seconds later, the noise and distortion came back. PLEASE, PRETTY PLEASE, FIX THIS! I so want to like this app!

Great application. Last time I reviewed it I claimed there were lots of crashes, especially when trying to use the interactive piano and I guess it was just my device because after a while it stopped crashing.
