Good idea for an app, but some wrong info :-(
The app is good for what it wants to become, however, there are glaring errors, too. For example, look up the key signature for A major. There is a nice picture of a treble clef and there sharps, F#, C#, and G#. But then Almond goes on to claim that the parallel minor is F-sharp minor… oops! I think they meant “relative” minor. Look up the definition for Relative Minor and you get “the major key whose tonic lies a minor third above its own” definition… no mention of them having the same key signature! Over all, it is a good idea for an app, however the errors are annoying and should be corrected.

Not worth your money or time
After using this app for about a year, it started to breakdown on me. I had to delete it recently b/c it was useless. A waist of space and money.
A good idea for beginners, not professionals
This is a good app for people for beginning theory. But the more theory you know, the less useful it is. I am a professional composer and what I was looking for was a music dictionary with full definitions of terms and possibly even examples. I was disappointed with this app, and annoyed that I paid 2 bucks for it. Look up augmented 6th chord and see for yourself an example of how thorough the definition is.

Awesome!!!
Great little app for musicians!
About Almond
Nobody has really left any feedback, so I thought I might. Almond is an excellent pocket guide to music. Anyone in a music theory class should deffinately look into this, it's proven very helpful in my class. But there're just random words that aren't listed in here. The creators could really look into making sure this data base has as much as possible, and not leave the consumer without their desired definition, and 5$ poorer. Another feature that would absolutely make this product nearly flawless, is a search engine in which you could not only type the word, but the definition itself , and the word your looking for will come up. I if that feature were added, then u have no complaints, excellent product for any studying musician.
P.S. I agree, Almond is kind of a cool name, very original, but also extremely Misleading. I found this APP on accident!!
