### 5/5 — Great app!

*2023-05-01, version 2.10*

I going to assume that they’ve updated since the other reviewer, as I don’t have any of the issues he does. 
The app is great, there are two main ways you can use it: select the notes you want to practice, and you can flip them like flash cards, or you can select quiz, then select the notes you want (or all of them) and it will show it to you, flip it yourself & it asks if you got it right or not.

I’m using this in conjuncture with another app that teaches the bass clef using a piano - this is good to test what I’ve learned!

### 1/5 — Zero value

*2020-05-22*

Totally useless. I can’t figure out what this app is for, how to use it, what’s the point. Pretty big waste of my time.

### 2/5 — Not great but has potential

*2018-09-05*

Needs to be simplified with basic flash cards. I like how you can pick the notes you want to be quizzed on though.

### 4/5 — Works in iPhone

*2018-08-29*

Still works in iPhone. Really useful for memorizing 1st position and forward and back extensions from first. Wish they’d make something like this for other cello positions!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2017-07-13*

Helped me quickly learn the bass clef, and it was fun.

Would love it if you also added tenor clef (and later treble clef) notes for cello.

And a suggestion: Since this is an app for cello, it would be more appropriate to have a bass clef on the icon rather than a treble clef!

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2014-07-28*

Confusing to work with. Doesn't even sound like a cello. Usually I can listen and know the names of the notes but with this app I couldn't tell what the note was I had to look at the note on the staff. Hate this app not worth even $.1 let alone $.99 DO NOT DOWNLOAD

### 3/5 — Basic, but does what it says

*2014-07-16, version 1.02*

I like it, very functional. Would be nice if you could turn the beeping off though, as it ignores the silent button on my phone. And I find that eye icon that turns the card over to be very temperamental and laggy. But ok really, helps me to learn all these notes.

### 1/5 — Horrible App

*2014-07-01*

It is horrible, it makes everything harder and is not even real, most of it is fake.

### 2/5 — Unclear

*2014-03-25*

Notes are midi.

### 1/5 — Very simple

*2013-07-03*

This app is not much better than paper flash cards.  The help page says you can change settings, but the setting page just takes you back to help.  The sound sample is awful.  This app could use some work.
