Great app

This is my go-to for learning scales

Needs drop tunings

Needs the drop tunings too

Caution

Was checking battery performance and this app consumed 55% of my entire charge on its own from whatever it was doing in the background. A bit suspicious. I’d only used the app for a minute. Will be removing.

Response from developer

Dear Musician Thank You for your review it was very helpful to solve the issue. The battery problem is FIXED in new version 3.8.2, it is already available in AppStore. Best regards, Zoltan

Much good use

An invaluable asset to any and all musicians. Thanks.

Good app but with limited tuning settings

Overall, good and useful App.

Unfortunately, it lacks of alternative tunings (e.g. p4).

Perfect

Great for practice and reminders. It’s a good way to help get to know the fretboard and individual notes as well.

Wrong positions

Good, almost... the scale positions are wrong. Scale pattern 1 is actually pattern 5, every pattern is off like that. why? If you want to reinvent things, whatever, at least give the settings option to label it conventionally.

Response from developer

Hi Jimi Thanks for your note. Pattern numbering is an intention - In FAQ it is explained like this : Q: Why are patterns not arranged according to the fretboard? A: Patterns are always arranged according to the patterns order in base "C" key or "a" key. In all keys of one scale, pattern shapes remain the same as in the base key, they are only shifted on the fretboard. When a user learns pattern shapes of a scale in the base key, he will automatically know all the pattern shapes in all keys, they will only be shifted on the fretboard according to the current key, e.g.: "1st pattern shape of a Pentatonic minor" starts on the fifth fret of the fretboard, while the "1st pattern shape of e Pentatonic minor"; starts on the 9th fret. The ninth fret is not at the beginning of the fretboard, but using this approach of keeping the pattern numbers for shapes in different keys, simplify the learning curve for pattern shapes of a scale. I hope it will help you a little bit Thanks a lot Best regards, Zoltan

I like this app but...

Could you update it so it fits the iPad screen, the screen looks really weird on iPad Air 2 😔 I still use this app.

Brilliant tool!

I really enjoy using this app, it's a must have for any guitar students. My only small issue is that there isn't a setting for drop tunings. Great tool for guitar tuition overall.
Thank you and Keep up the good work!
