Front page for $40 a year

Utterly self serving of Apple to put this up as the app of the day. I completed the free stuff in 2 minutes. The app crashed twice in those two minutes. Not something I would spend $40 on an annual subscription.
The activities were actually pleasant though.

canceled

I bought a subscription to this app because I really liked it but then it kept malfunctioning and I couldn't even sign back in to it???
I noticed the makers of the app, in the reviews, keep telling people that its fixed and they apologize but it still has issue- seems like a scam to me.

Great but needs work

The Duolingo set up for music theory is a brilliant idea but there are many areas that need improvement. For instance if I get the wrong answer in the matches there’s no way to take back your answer or progress so I have to start the quiz over, this can be very frustrating seeing as how common the matching questions are.
When I am required to write a note the app automatically zooms in to where I can even see all the lines to place notes on.
It would be very helpful to add short explanations before introducing new musical concepts instead of just throwing us into the quizzes guessing (granted most new concepts are pretty easy to figure out without an explanation).

Thank you so much for this review and kind rating! We see your point and have started building exactly these explanations into the app's chapters. We've made the writing interface much more intuitive, I'm sure you're going to love it! Thank you again! 🙏🏻🎶

Almost there

This is a very good app for testing your music theory knowledge. My one criticism is that it doesn’t provide any explanations. For instance, on the ‘semitone’ level, it doesn’t tell you what a ‘semitone’ is. This is fine if you are receiving tuition; if you are not, you are left to work it out for yourself through trial and error. It would be a lot better if it were like Duolingo in the way that errors are explained. This is the only thing stopping me from rating this app five stars.

Hi Aaron, and thank you for your comment. We're taking this seriously and working on making these explanations a part of our product roadmap. 🙏🏻

Not Free

This app is free for 5 minutes. I’m sure the app is great from the reviews, but if you’re looking for something free this isn’t the app. In order to get this you have to pay a monthly subscription which I am not interested in. Once again, the app seems to be fine when you pay for it from the other reviews.

So so so glitchy!!!

I am so disappointed with this app. I paid $40 to get the year subscription for what I thought was a really awesome app to learn piano, but turns out this app is so poorly made and disjointed. I love the concept but the glitchyness is impossible to work with. The app crashes constantly. Sometimes it won’t even show you a question but answer options will still show up and you’ll have no idea what to do. The “music writing” program is so clunky and impossible to work and there is no option to not do those. You have to finish them and get enough right to move onto the next levels but sometimes it’s insanely difficult just because the app is hard to use. On top of that it doesn’t teach you what anything means. It’s telling me to find “dominant function” vs “tonic” but never says what they are or what they mean. I’m so incredibly disappointed and wish I could get my money back. I knew this was a Duolingo rip off but I didn’t think it was going to be as bad as it was.

AMAZING

This is AMAZING it helps with my school work and learning the notes to play the steel drums!

Great app

So it’s a great app and I completed the first two basics but it says I need to be a subscriber or something to continue.

Awesome idea and impressive implementation

Really cool way to learn music

App glitching

Had otherwise been enjoying the app but hit a glitch in chromatic sand accidentals. At one point game refuses to bring up the next exercise and all you can is replay in the hope that next time it’s working. It isn’t! You can’t go on until you complete the previous chapter so if the glitch isn’t fixed you are in limbo forever. I’ve tried repeatedly and am now just about ready to cancel it. Help, developers!
