A truly amazing app for harmony but also for lots of other things
I think I have purchased the extra scales three times and they are still locked, so those stars are off again My apologies, I wrote last week that I was getting stuck, in fact the problem was me and the app..... This app is incredible, one of the finest I have used so far, I have just installed extra modes and I am working on not just getting into understanding the modes but applying them to songs and different keys. The circle of 5ths, doesn’t just give you the insights into the different steps but highlights the major and minor chords for each key, this is brilliant for practicing scales. I love writing songs and now I not only have chords choices from the usual groups, but also the chords of other modes, as well as finding unusual ‘fits’ for melodies. Hugely recommended!!
Many moons later, years I mean and nothing has been fixed. Never again
Great app
Like the app and use it a lot in songwriting and writing solos for on the guitar.
I do want to request and improvement. I play extended range and down tuned guitar a lot. Could this be added to the guitar view? I play sometimes in drop G and 7 string for example. Keep up the good work! Cheers.
Great app!
Great app for songwriting!
One thing that I think is missing to get to 5 stars is the possibility to modify chords from the piano or guitar fingering directly and let the app recognise what the new chord would be and save it as it is.
This would enhance the potential of this app exponentially!
I hope this helps.
Good app but missing something
I really like Tonaly, but it would be even better if you would add New Standard Tuning (CGDAEG) to tunings.
Limited
Only 2 chords per bar. Was unable to get more
Great app
Great app, i use it for several years on iPhone and iPad. Glad I was to see that it’s now available for my iMac also. But I get disappointed that it’s not possible to install it on my iMac with macOS High Sierra. I hope that it will be in the future. Love to see it work together with Logic Pro
Amazing!
An amazing app! Works like a charm! I really hope to see a Drop C tuning someday!:) Edit: Ive always beek struggeling with learning other scales.. there are a lot of videos online and photo’s of the desired scale, but I dont know what it is with Tonaly, but it makes everything easier and a lot more fun! Its worth every buck if you ask me! Freakin’ love it!
Additional: still works like a charm!
Is it possibe that the mandolin can be added to Tonally? :D that would be amazing!!

Very helpfull

An app that quickly writes chord schemes!
I’ve been looking for this for ages. That it also offers suggestions and all the extras is only great to me.
App design quality to me seems no less than stellar. Textbook example of how I think Apple envisions 3rd party apps. A work of love that deserves to earn you back all the hours you put into it.
I would like to have it as an option that the chords of a part are not shown anymore if they have been shown before under the same part title. This is good if you want makes the structure clear and save room.
