Fantastic tool for theory
This is a great tool set for music theory. It also includes the AUv3 tools that are very useful. If you want to learn theory and also have practical tools to help you while you produce this is the best app of its kind.
Tonality
This app is superb and ideal for anybody learning to play piano or any other keyboard instrument. It’s particularly good for training your ear if you are preparing to take an exam. It has all the practicalities you need to know. Brilliant!
Wonderful accessibility with voiceover!
Thank you so much for making an app that is very accessible with the voice over screen reader. Sadly, this is something that is not done often enough by developers. You’re getting a nice tip! keep up the great work :-)
Best music app. I love it even more than ireal
This is incredibly useful for songwriting and transcribing. I use it all the time for so many aspects of my musicianship. Yes, it even edges out ireal pro for all-around usefulness (and we love ireal

Worth Every Penny!
I know I reviewed this app already since I love it so much but didn’t see the review, so here we go again… this app is a full database of all the music theory you might need both generally or even more specifically for piano or guitar. If that wasn’t enough there are 4 AUv3 apps inside this one app. I use the app and the AU’s all the time. The chord pad Au is phenomenal. Completely customizable AU midi pads to setup and play instruments inside any DAW/Host on iOS. You can auto generate chords/notes from a scale or completely customize each pad, resize the grid, basically… all the features. The chord/scale identification is very helpful for figuring out what you’re playing or a midi file. The circle of fifths is another Au midi chord pad type app but based around the circle of fifths and chord inversions. This is one of the best bang for your buck apps on the App Store. You get so much useful knowledge and 4 Audio Units inside one app, for a very very fair price, considering how much is inside this thing. Can’t recommend it enough. Amazing. Cheers!

Good developer
The dev quickly responded to my bug report with a fix. I'm definitely getting my money's worth learning music theory but I am having trouble getting it to identify inverted chords (thought that I would see a difference in notation).
If we can get the inverted chords figured out, the only other thing I can imagine wanting for this app (for now) is a solfege (you know, both fixed and movable do) audio unit. I would easily pay twice as much for this app as it already is. Thanks for all the thoughtful features and continued work

Very good program
This program is proving very useful to me. It’s very interactive and well thought through. Yes it is 5 stars and I would give six if I could. One of the best music theory apps in my opinion.
Just downloaded this, Its great👌
Btw, if the AUV3 version of this app don’t show up in AUM, just delete Tonality and reinstall and it should appear.

App not showing in AUM
I’m having issues with the app showing up in AUM after the latest update. I deleted and downloaded it a couple of times like the first time I got this app and its doing nothing.

Good tip – unfortunately this is an iOS issue I can’t control. Glad you like the app! Edit 3/3/23: Again, I unfortunately have no control over this issue. Please contact Apple or the AUM developer. A restart usually fixes it. See https://forum.audiob.us/discussion/39567/auv3-not-appearing-in-aum Edit 3/23/23: Were you able to resolve this issue? If not, please contact me at tonality.app@gmail.com
Prior version deeper than I could handle, NOW it’s at my level
Wanted to update my review. Previously, as a Garageband user, I didn’t feel I could get a lot out of the app. I appreciated it for what it could do, it just couldn’t do much for me. Now, I feel like I have access to an infinite midi pack. :) While the learning curve is still a little over my head, being able to hear audio from the app via Soundfonts is a game changer for me and the midi export means I can create a progression using chords that SOUND like I want and bring those into Garageband. I’m probably not making full use of the app as I don’t use AUM and I don’t perform, but I just created my first beat in Garageband using chords from the app and I’m happy! UPDATE: I used Chord ID on a tune I’d tried in other tools (Stir & Mix, Scratchin’ Melodii). Other tools couldn’t quite result in a collection of notes that sounded like what I was hearing (especially on 5 and 6 of the progression). Chord ID actually captured some critical discordant notes which finally matched the sound I hear. I know this may not be the expected use case for this tool, but I look forward to trying it on other tunes other apps couldn’t handle :)

Awesome! If you ever have questions or suggestions I’m more than happy to help. My email and other contact info are on the settings page. Edit: I’m glad the chord ID is working well for you! That’s a cool use case.
