Amazing app

Love it!

Fantastic!!!!!

Great app especially for someone learning music theory and writing music as I am constantly switching between piano, guitar and bass. Love it!!!

Support that’s above and beyond the call of duty

I bought this app to use on my iPad and iPhone. There was a small problem that happened when I used it on my iPhone which is a 5s. I well understand that it’s hard for developers to provide support for older devices but thought that on the off chance I’d try contacting support and see if there was a potential solution. And in no time at all I had a response and within a day the problem was fixed. That’s amazing. And the app itself is wonderful. It’s fully featured and useful in a multitude of ways. I am presently spending time learning the basics of a couple of open tunings on guitar. The ability to select a tuning in the app and immediately see what the chord grips are is just a wonderful way to ease the learning process. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Truly a great app.

Winner

Must have type of app. There are others but this one will appeal to many.

Super App for music learners

This one beats everything I have looked at so far. Absolutely has everything you need for learning chords and music theory. Actually rates more than 5 stars. Everything displays well even on the small iPhone screen.

Wonderful app

This is a cheat sheet to becoming a music theory God. This app is incredible and just keeps getting better as the developer is very responsive and keeps adding features that improve the app just when you thought it couldn’t be improved further.

This is a great app!

A compendium for musicians that’s easy to use and keeps getting better. Of course, there’s several apps of this kind available, but in my humble opinion this one is more complete. As an added bonus, you can load it as an AUv3.
