## Scales & Modes Description
Scales & Modes is an interactive visual and audio reference for the diatonic scales and modes that are fundamental in music theory.    View major and minor modes on the musical staff, see fingerings for both keyboard and guitar, and listen to the scales note by note, in any key.  Violin and bass guitar fingerings are also available as an in app purchase add on.

Diatonic musical scales and modes are one of the fundamental concepts of Western music theory.  But the large number of scales makes learning and remembering them difficult.  Scales & Modes is a handy mobile reference guide for viewing and listening to a large number scales and modes, including all the modes of the major, natural minor, and harmonic minor scales.

Select a root note and a scale to display the notes of the scale on the musical staff, and click “Play Scale” to listen.   Select the Keyboard or Guitar tabs (or Violin and Bass after an in app purchase) to view fingering diagrams for the scale on those instruments, and press the info button to see more detail about constructing the scale.

## Scales & Modes Reviews in United States

### ***-- "I regret the purchase"
It doesn’t have good instructions, I have no idea what to do.
If someone could explain it to me, I’ll give a better rating.
Sorry but I don’t like it.
-- Root Cellar 7, 2021-04-01

### ***** "This app is overlooked..."
I deleted all my other scale apps. The interface is simple & straight forward. The layout is well thought out. I like how this app has info about the scale. I’m happy to say this app hasn’t crashed at all. My only issue with this app is the trivial (different font choice maybe). Hopefully, the developer will add more features.

11/6/20 update:
I use this app daily & hope the developer adds more scales. Fantastic app. Easy to use & clean UI.
-- Ninja Torta, 2020-11-06

### *---- "Not worth it"
Inexpensive but not much to it. If they had a free version to see what it does would be better. Not worth buying.
-- Bangbangboogie, 2020-03-01

### ***** "I really like the app, could you add more scales?"
I really like this app, would you be able to add the octatonic scale, and Messiaen‘s modes of limited transposition. Or maybe a feature to create and quiz your own custom scales too. Otherwise, it’s a very helpful app!
-- atd123, 2019-12-21

### ***** "Cool app I’ve used for years"
This is a unique and useful musical app. It has helped a lot In my understanding of the scales and modes.
-- TaylorPlayer, 2019-11-11

### ****- "Great app for learning modes"
This app is a simple yet effective way of learning modes. They have piano and guitar notation for easy playing. The only thing that is annoying is that sometimes the app crashes but hopefully that can get patched up sooner or later.
-- badguitar912, 2018-05-17

### ***** "Great"
I’ve downloaded tons of piano/music theory apps and this is one of my top 3. So simple yet very educational.
-- Jimmy49423, 2017-12-08

### ****- "Highly recommended"
I'm a casual learner, I work this into my spare time whenever my computer's busy with a rendering task. Given my novice status, this app is simple with a high volume of information - the same as a Big Gag Book of Scales, but phone-sized. The interface is easy to read and condensed. I love this app, and I wish they continued to make it for iPad Pro and iPhone6. Very handy.
-- jludwick, 2016-07-19

### ***** "Add more scales?"
Awesome app! Can you add more scales, like melodic minor? Thanks!
-- Hrhfycudhguxsjjdgndghkd, 2016-01-28

### ***-- "It's ok.."
The octave should be lower for the sheet notes on guitar. Also, you should be able to switch between showing sharps and flats. I don't like using flats and if say I want to use sharps, my only option is to select the key of E# which doesn't even exist in theory. This scale actually has an F## in it which is a G, why, just why...
-- West666, 2015-10-12
