Engaging and informative!
Excellent app to learn the basics and apply in songwriting straight away. Really short, sharp lessons with lots of little practise activities that keep you motivated, got a little bit addicted to it already!

“Best music theory learning app out there. I just want to say this app is completely amazing and an incredible amount of work must have gone into this. I have been looking for an app just like this to complete my learning between music classes and this has everything I need and more. I highly recommend!” —BigMat74, Oct. 20, 2023
"Absolutely phenomenal. This is better than any YouTube video, podcast, or music theory book I have read. Within 48 hours using this app I have actually comprehended what is being taught far beyond any previous comprehension for past products. Honestly they could charge more than double the amount and it would be totally worth it." —Artice, May 3, 2022
"It's obvious a lot of time, love and energy has gone into this app. It's very well thought out, easy to follow and keeps you coming back for more. The developer is super friendly and answers any questions you have. It's clear he has a real passion for what he does and genuinely wants to help out. Awesome work all round" —thatboyswiss, Jan. 8, 2019
"I have probably spent thousands of dollars perfecting tone on pedals, instruments, amps and apps, posters, printed media, online courses. The BEST PURCHASE has been your Waay app." —A.P., Apr. 1, 2020

Music theory - made simple
For me, it is getting back to the basics that is important, as I find as I advance I keep asking simple questions like in a G major Scale why is the C chord called the 4th Chord. Then I know I got to go back to basics…..
Perfect for beginners
Great app man, well done
Great for beginners
Am a DJ and want to produce. This is a great tool to learn some basic theory. Brilliantly constructed, makes you want to learn and has taught me lots in very little time.
Amazing app and worth every penny!
It’s obvious a lot of time, love and energy has gone into this app. It’s very well thought out, easy to follow and keeps you coming back for more. The developer is super friendly and answers any questions you have. It’s clear he has a real passion for what he does and genuinely wants to help out. Awesome work all round 👍
Excellent
Everything I needed as a mature student. All the foundation work that now makes sense. Being able to repeat any lesson which varies the questions each time ensures you are not just memorising the question base and forces you to apply the knowledge. This makes my real life lessons so much easier.
Great app with excellent quiz’s
Not only are the concepts explained clearly but they’re reinforced regularly with great quiz questions. Nice work.
Clever way to understand base theory
The developer - Alex - has obviously spent a lot of time thinking about how to present music theory. I have many books but never understood the circle of fifths like this. The instructional videos are friendly and encouraging. I can totally recommend this App. Well done!
Best music theory app out there!
I personally love the teaching method and how you start at one point which then develops into a progress journey instead of being shown 100’s of options and tasks Thanks for developing this app!
Almost perfect
It’s well set up, the lessons are concise and clear, and the progression of lessons makes sense. My only issue is that I can’t speed up the videos. I have adhd. I would rather watch a 30 min video at 2x speed, than watch a five minute video where the speaker is speaking so slowly that I can’t focus on what they’re saying AT ALL.
