Mandolin Companion

This has been my favorite app to learn mandolin with for YEARS! But it crashes every single time I open it now. Is there an update? I’m using iPhone 13 mini with the latest iOS.

Doesn’t work anymore, just shuts down when you hit it.... deleted it!

I’ve been playing guitar for 40 years. I’ve been playing mandolin for 2 days. I don’t have any reference as to whether this is a good app for an experienced mandolin player. But for me? It’s fantastic. Chords and scales, with sound. The rest is up to me.

This is pretty good but it is missing many too many alternate chords. Some of the alternate chords missing are easier than the ones showing. In fact some chords missing are the most common version of the chord. For example, F Maj. Look at other chord sites for mandolin. I question wether the person who put these chords in actually play mandolin. If they could add these it would be much better than all the other apps. It would be good to have an option to have users add these chords.

I did not like the ads and the fact that there was so much to purchase! It was the worst mistake I’ve ever made!

This is a terrific way to learn chords and scales for mandolin. Much better than thumbing through a book. It’s not just for beginners - need to know how to play a 9th or diminished chord? They’re all here. My only gripe is that the sideways/landscape view shows the strings in reverse order. But that view is not essential, so I can live with the glitch. Highly recommended for every mandolin player.

Specifically B minor scale indicates a G# there is no G# in the B minor scale

Whoever said of putting left handed mode. You are a legend!

When rotating the display to the left to landscape mode the strings are oriented in reverse order. The G string should be on the bottom and the E string should be on the top just as the player would view the instrument when looking down at it.

Big help learning scales and chords. Good tuner.
