User Reviews: Wolfram Music Theory Course Assistant

Top reviews

  • Terrible!

    Poorly designed. Definitions copied out of a non-music dictionary. Others poorly worded or just wrong! Pitch and interval sections are too laborious for anyone to learn anything. It takes 4 steps just to get to middle C! This app is of no help and a waste of money.
  • Oh man

    As with many Wolfram Alpha powered apps, this is not even as good as just going straight to Wolfram Alpha, which is free. Why pay for something which just accesses Alpha?
  • Broken

    Sound doesn't work!
  • Slow and unstable

    Right after download I was very satified, even though I could not understand why it would keep accessing the web for each request. It took longer than I wish and it would improve a lot if it could work offline.
    But then... Now it is really hard to get response from the servers. 99% of the time I get a timeout and end up empty handed.
    A shame I hope Wolfram fixes asap.
  • Not very helpful...

    Most information is nonmusic specific and this app really has no "theory" which was I was looking for. Not worth 1.99 for the scales--which is more or less its only good feature.
  • Meh.

    Not much here yet, especially when compared to other Wolfram apps. The ability to play notes and scales is a nice addition though.
  • Shallow Information

    This app is amazingly non music specific. Definitions of terms are not specific to music and do not include musical notation examples...very general. For example, the scales search does not include the Melodic Minor form...one of the great 48 every musician learns....hmmmm....Don't buy, wait for something written by music instructors.
  • Good app

    I love it
  • Wanting more functionality

    I wish all intervals did not start at the middle c octave, I wish you could lower the octave and the look at different intervals.
  • Great app

    Nice app, but I would've liked to see a bass clef representation in the calculation. I'm a native trombone player and I read bass clef normally, so it would be a lot easier to have that rather than transposing treble clef. Overall it's a fantastic application though!
