Circle o Fifths: Music Theory

I like the design of the UI because it’s simple. I don’t need all those extra features some of the other apps offer. I like the sound. But it’s very buggy. Almost all of the time you need to press a chord 5 times before it will play. It throws you out of the flow and can’t be used effectively

The app is cut off on the sides. I’m unable to read everything.

I have bad vision and have the text on my phone set to large. The app does not fit on my screen and gets cut off. Please fix.

There’s a book called ‘The Chord Wheel’ published by Hal Leonard that illustrates the same concept as this app. While it’s a good book to have on hand it has one important deficiency: it doesn’t show any fingerings or even the notes for the particular chords. For someone who isn’t very familiar with music theory, this can make it difficult to use the book properly, potentially requiring lots of cross referencing, googling, and general research into theory. This app solves that problem by presenting the circle of fifths/chord wheel side by side with sample fingerings for each chord. Simple, effective, and useful. Well worth the trivial cost of the app. Thanks to the developer for making this one.

Yep. Get this app. Just do it.

Really well put together. Simple and user friendly. Easy tool to use to help me learn more cords!

Not intuitive and messy

This is definitely a must if your interested in starting your journey into music theory! So helpful and very user friendly.

It’s about time someone came up with a comprehensive way to understand circle of fifths. Outstanding!

This app has saved me lots of time when studying composition on my own. A little gem indeed.
