Is it cheating to use your notes for the quiz? -- Mike73727, 2025-07-22 ### ***** "Incredible music learning tool" I’ve used so many apps and programs to try to learn music theory and this changed everything for me. The lessons are clear and concise and enjoyable. The developer Alex has a great calming voice. The practice tools are incredibly useful and helpful. This is the perfect tool for songwriters who want to understand the foundation of music theory without any of the extra fluff that you don’t really need. There is so much content in here and the best part is it not a monthly subscription. I personally wrote to the developer and asked for more content even and that I would gladly pay more money for it. -- jerkywad123123, 2025-05-03 ### ***** "Love This App" Waay has been very helpful with my understanding of music theory! Topics have been solidifying in my mind and making music has become even more exciting! -- VinceTheEngineer, 2025-03-11 ### ***** "Excellent practice room experience" I’m using this app to supplement my music theory education for guitar. The intervals trainer and the practice room experience is fantastic. -- GoldfishBowl, 2025-02-18 ### ***** "Insane!!!" Absolutely stunning how fast i was able to pick up this knowledge. I wish all my teachers when i was in school taught like this. Not even exaggerating. It’s almost like the knowledge just downloads into my head. Thanks you so very much! -- stupidnicnamemarkffb, 2025-02-05 ### ***** "Best music theory app for songwriting!!" This is the app I’ve been looking for years!! I wish I had this app a decade ago when I started songwriting! -- thowemusic, 2025-02-04 ### ***** "Finally." I have spent years trying to internalize some of these basic concepts and how they all inter-relate and it never clicked until Waay. I love how simply things are are explained and how smart the quizzes/timing is. It definitely helps keep things fresh, keeps me learning, and does so without overwhelming or annoying me. Thank you! -- jrsquared, 2025-02-03 ### ***** "Need More" Great app, but needs more material. I want to learn more! -- TrolleyDodger88, 2025-01-22 ### ***** "Great App for Beginning Theory with a focus on Songwriting/chord theory" I really needed to up my game with theory. This is something i have just always wanted to be better at. I love that this app slowly builds and allows you to practice as much as you want to get faster and better with the knowledge…chords, key signatures, major, minor, and on….I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this app for someone who is starting out and brushing up. I would say it is helpful if you also are learning an instrument/have access to one… so you can practice the information in that way if you are more applied learner. I also recommend taking notes and using the practices that are available to help the knowledge settle in. If you follow the lesson plan and treat this like a real course and put in a little effort you WILL get better. -- Komaki_Blue, 2025-01-20 ### ****- "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. -- Kate—-_, 2024-12-31 ### *---- "Great! Until…" I thought I hit the jackpot on this app. That is, until I hit a wall and it said I had to pay $110 to access the rest. I don’t understand what the deal is with everyone wanting to charge for subscriptions or an insane one time cost. Gone are the days of being able to buy an app for a reasonable price. I’ll just get this information for free on YouTube. You almost had me!Thanks, but no thanks. -- Onlyratingtounlocklevel, 2024-12-21 ### ***** "Best app I’ve used in a long time" I rarely write app reviews, but this app has helped me so much I had to give it the praise it deserves. Music theory has always been daunting for me. I studied and played both piano and violin for all of my childhood and teenage years. I still play violin but wanted to start experimenting more with my sound and writing my own pieces. Most of the theory I know came to me in passing through playing, but I never had a formal and organized way of understanding it until this app. Now everything makes so much more sense! My playing has greatly improved thanks to this app. -- Creoleo, 2024-12-18 ### ***** "Finding patterns in music" I’m not far into Waay, but I’ve found it really useful in developing my understanding of music theory. I practice on Waay every morning for like ten minutes and my understanding of scales and building them have vastly improved. I know what key I’m in for the songs I play on piano, and I can see the little patterns that rule most music. It’s really interesting and very insightful, I look forwards to the rest of the course. -- Emmett vandenbroek, 2024-12-10 ### ***** "Great way to explore 🎼theory" Great tutorials, fun and challenging practice exercises, ways to track your progress, this is an exceptional app. The developers really thought this through. I’m super impressed at music theory content. -- Nitzy7712, 2024-11-18 ### ***** "Worth the $" Super helpful, straightforward and useful. -- Juandale dingle the 31st, 2024-11-06 ### ***** "Great so far" I’m just about 20 or so lessons in so far and it’s very helpful. Been writing music for years with only basic theory knowledge so I’m trying to get into more advanced theory. One critique: the audio lessons that start each section could really use a “15 seconds back” button for when you space out. It’s hard to move the time bar any less that 40 or 50 seconds back. Thanks though, the app is very strong so far! -- mopedchimpanzee, 2024-11-03 ### ***** "Super helpful for theory" I really like the regular practice. -- Chris silva, 2024-10-05 ### ***** "Woooooooooooooooooooooooow" Thank you 🙏 thank you so much 😊 woooooooooowwwwww hey listen thank you 😊 what a beautiful 😻 apps ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😊😊😊😊😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘 -- Younoussa, 2024-10-02 ### ***** "Incredible app, better than conservatory" I am a former music student that studied piano at conservatory, but my theory had grown weak in the years since I graduated. I was looking for an app to brush up on it and I was blown away by Waay. I hated theory in college - it intimidated me and I was bad at it since my high school teachers never focused on it. This app has me actually looking forward to practicing it and doing the exercises, which is something I never thought I would say. The content is top notch, but the actual app design is beautiful as well. I barely ever leave reviews but this app is just wonderful in every way. Thank you to the developer; you’ve made my life a little bit better because of your work. -- Jon22225151515, 2024-07-02 ### ***** "Absolutely recommend (Updated)" I’ve been diving into the world of music theory and have really struggled with finding something that works with my brain. I decided to give this app a try after coming across it on Reddit and the trial lessons have given me some breakthroughs on solidifying some of the basic concepts I’ve struggled with retaining. The trial period consists of the basics of intervals and how to build major scales (it also gives you the pattern for minor scales but the practices are paywalled). I usually can’t do in-app purchases (I have a very limited budget) but I’m genuinely going to try working this into my expenses because it seems like this might be an extremely helpful app. Going to purchase a month soon and hopefully the rest of the courses are as helpful as the beginning ones. I will update once I’ve gotten further into the app but it’s promising so far! June 10- Purchased a month to try the app further and it’s absolutely worth the money if you’re looking to really dive into music theory from a beginner standpoint. I’ve watched YouTube videos and searched websites and none have been so comprehensive, straight forward and helpful as this app is. The lessons are very well explained and have made things “click” for me in ways nothing else has. The practice tools are extremely useful and honestly fun to use. Have been going back pretty much daily to review things I need more time with and it’s made progressing through the lessons easier than I expected. I am terrible with memorization but I’ve already got things memorized that I was afraid I’d have to keep a reference tool with me for life. If you have the money, get this app. I plan on using it for quite a while. -- Bricer898, 2024-06-10 [View all Waay reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/de/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Waay In-App Purchases | Item | Price | |------|-------| | Full Access (Monthly) | $7.99 | | Full Access (Yearly) | $59.99 | | Full Access | $109.99 | | Teacher Mode | $2.99 | ## Waay Discovered Keywords -
