Please add Dark Mode!
The app functions great for me, but my biggest complaint is the lack of dark mode.
It's an app on a mobile device that has an illuminated display with a solid white background, so when using this app in a setting that isn't in a brightly sun lit room, it basically turns the phone into a spot light. The contrast makes the glare difficult to read on the screen if you're quickly looking back and forth at your hands on the instrument. And dimming the display makes it difficult to read the small note details. If even just an option to change the color scheme so a person could set the background to dark gray or whatever.
Since I purchased a year subscription and am stuck with this app for now, I just screen shot notes and edit the image how I prefer, which completely eliminates the scroll function that this app provides.
I won't be renewing since I can just find the same info online somewhere else, and will just live without the auto scroll.Show less-Thisappblowswhales-
Getting worse :(
I have used this app for years, and I love being able to play with virtually any song at a moments notice. When I first downloaded the app, I could play as many songs as I pleased. Lately, the number of songs per day was limited to three in what seemed to be an effort to get users to pay for a plan, which I can understand. After all, money has to be generated in order to function. However, I am now being forced to watch a lengthy add before I play a single song, AND I’m still limited to 3 per day. If I’m watching adds to play, why am I being limited still? I love the app as a resource for playing music, but the push to get users to purchase a plan is becoming a nuisance.Show lessNumbered Days
Progression displays and PDFs, not ready for prime time
PDFs and in-app diagrams desperately need reworking. If someone were to put these displays and/or lead sheets (PDFs) in front of any serious musician, they’d either laugh at derisively while struggling to keep their place, or they would walk out of the session.
Here’s why: standard lead sheets are four measures across. This, of course is owing to the fact that the majority of popular music sections are divisible by four (8, 12, 16, 32 bars). When this app renders a PDF that is a ludicrous 11 bars across the page, it is darn near impossible to use for either practice or rehearsal. I do get that section, navigation, and dynamic markers would be extremely challenging (programming – wise), but a standard four bars across, perhaps in a larger font, seems within reach, if not trivial.
Other parts of the app are very helpful, but I’m sure I am not the only musician who finds the format of the progressions cumbersome and frustrating.
The only other reservation I have so far, is that the analysis of songs that I’ve input so far don’t seem to recognize or honor slash chords. As a bass player who utilizes a fair bit of voice leading, I still have to rely solely on my ear to suss out what’s happening. I would do this anyway, so it’s a smaller concern by far then the formatting issue cited above.
Thanks for your consideration.Show lessread me a story...
