### 1/5 — Defective audio

*2019-10-26, version 1.0*

Do NOT purchase this app! Imagine a music app with defective audio? It’s unconscionable! I tried it (with volume cranked up to the max) from my iPad, my mini boom box and my Bose sound system. The sound was very, very faint from all three devices. It also does not provide a drop down menu.

### 5/5 — Very useful for composition

*2018-07-08, version 1.0*

This is a fantastic app with very good visual and conceptual design. My only gripe is the clipping on the audio, the piano sounds clip at the beginning, so it doesn’t sound good. 

It also took me a moment to figure out how to make inversions but the moment I did it blew my mind how helpful this app can be. Maybe make a quick how to screen to ensure everyone knows how to use the app. The chord groups is brilliant. 

This app is almost too good and feels like you’re revealing some hidden info, cheat code style. 

Please fix the audio samples and this app could be huge for song writers.

Also it would be great if we could change the color palette. I’d like dark purple. A color selector would be great. Thanks, very useful app I will spread the word.

### 5/5 — Excellent App!

*2018-01-10, version 1.0*

Very informative fingering on the keyboard.

A must for serious jazz musicians out there.

Highly recommended!
