Missing relevant fingerings on Sax

Overall this app has potential but for me it falls short for my intended purpose. I am looking to be reminded of altissimo fingerings that I use. I know there are many fingerings on sax and I don’t want to be distracted by the many possibilities.

Ideally I’d like to touch the chart to add the fingering I use and have it saved as a custom fingering.

Or maybe you support a database that has fingerings that can be downloaded?

I like the sound of the note as you have it but maybe you could have some other sounds available in a database?

Overall I like your app very much
Thanks,

Convert notes

Love that you can choose to see concert pitch. Easy to use.

Very useful!

The best app for sax fingering.

Absolutely Amazing!! But just one thing...

This is honestly the greatest all for any woodwind player to have in their pocket! As a bassoon player I rely on this app for extreme high notes that I can never remember the fingerings for and they are very accurate. The only reason I rated this app with 3 stars is because of the ContraBassoon fingering chart. The contra has a different key mechanism which isn't represented at all, it's just a copy of the bassoon chart. If updated I would gladly change my rating to 5+ starts.

really great app

Now I don't have to keep referring to a hard copy to show fingerings for the different woodwinds I teach. Each instrument has a good range with alternate fingerings when they are apply. The display shows you concert pitch as well as the written pitch. You can run up and down a piano keyboard to find the pitch you need. You can hear it if you need to match pitch.
This is a great app for any woodwind player that doubles and isn't too confident about the upper range of an instrument that isn't their principle discipline.
Its easy to read and manipulate.

Very Fine

This is not an effusive endorsement, but I can say that I will use it. The layout is good and app functionality is effective.
Flat / sharp choice (left/right) is not real consistent. With it's limit to wood winds, it seems a little pricey, but at least it works.

Amazing

Great for everyone!!! By far the best

Almost perfect

Great app. As someone who plays flute, saxophone, clarinet, and oboe, this app has been a great help. The saxophone, clarinet, and oboe fingering charts are great, covering all the notes I need and then some. However, the flute fingering chart falls short. I even know how to finger some notes higher than a high c. That's all that keeps me from giving it the fifth star.

Detailed

A few points:
1. Amazing range!
I can't comment on the instruments other than the clarinets, but I can tell you the range for the soprano Bb Clarinet is astonishing!!
(Low E - 3 leg. lines to High High High A - 8 leg. lines)

2. Would it be possible to add the ability to change the text font?

3. Another suggestion to further increase the excellent level of interactivity: what about maybe, when playing the trill, having the orange button turn on/off to represent the fingering for each note?

Overall, a great app!

Great functionality!

However, it is a little pricey. Also, the interface could be a little prettier, but that is a secondary concern. Great work with this app!
