可以增加中文支持吗

可以增加中文支持吗,谢谢!

piano version good update

I’m enjoying playing about with this!

Useful

Great tool and helpful

Almost Awesome but Unusable

The view port for the app is not dynamic, so on my phone the left and right edges are cut off, making the left and right sides unusable.

Developer - to fix, don't set a fixed width OR rotate the circle based on chord selection, such that the selected root chord rotates to the top, thus making the cut off edges not an issue.

Til then, wasted $3 - refund please

Hi Nate52790, Just wanted to reach out to let you know that this has been fixed. The app now properly scales across all devices screen sizes. Tim

Error with key of F#

There is no E#. Please change the diminished chord in the key of F# to F dim. Thanks.

Good introduction

A helpful App that gives a useful introduction to this aspect of music theory. Would be even better if it could also show the notes for major & minor pentatonic.

Muito bom

Perfeito. Está ajudando muito na minha compreensão

Simple & Leaning

Great tool to learn the circle of fifths I’ve been told by high status producers that the circle of fifths is one of the most important things to know.

Can we add More Chord Variations?

I really appreciate this app, but I would like to see other triad variants for each chord in the key as you tap on the chord, and maybe she’ll voicing for chords like 7s.

Sizing

The app is cut off on the sides. I’m unable to read everything.

Absolutamente nada demais

Tudo que o aplicativo apresenta encontra-se em livros de teoria musical

App does not fit screen

I have bad vision and have the text on my phone set to large. The app does not fit on my screen and gets cut off. Please fix.

Why Only Guitar ?

Although the App does well in understanding chords in relation to any key, I would like to see an option of changing the instrument in relation to how the chords change. I play a Baritone Ukulele and although the chart goes some way in showing the chord shapes it does not help if one plays a concert or tenor Uke. Otherwise, for someone learning all the notes of a scale, it is very useful.

Serious musical error

At the time of writing, the B major chord sound on the wheel appears to have a BSus sound sample, so it can’t be used.

Also, the touch responsiveness (on iPhone 14 pro) is so bad as to make the feature of clicking chords on the main wheel unusable. Sometimes touching a chord doesn’t play a chord sample, other times it will. Similar apps respond to touch instantaneously and reliably.

WOW Buy this APP it’s brilliant 👍🏻

I absolutely love this APP it’s incredible.
For $1.49 you never need a book of paper to check the Key or Chord progression you want.
Not only is it simple but you can listen before you even play your guitar to see if you like the progression.
Thank you

Simple and useful.

There’s a book called ‘The Chord Wheel’ published by Hal Leonard that illustrates the same concept as this app. While it’s a good book to have on hand it has one important deficiency: it doesn’t show any fingerings or even the notes for the particular chords. For someone who isn’t very familiar with music theory, this can make it difficult to use the book properly, potentially requiring lots of cross referencing, googling, and general research into theory.

This app solves that problem by presenting the circle of fifths/chord wheel side by side with sample fingerings for each chord. Simple, effective, and useful. Well worth the trivial cost of the app. Thanks to the developer for making this one.

Wow

Yep. Get this app. Just do it.

It seems to be a great little app

Really well put together. Simple and user friendly. Easy tool to use to help me learn more cords!

PERFECT!

I’m extremely happy with this app. It’s very lightweight and straight to the point, it’s scaled perfectly on the iPad and it’s helped me a lot in understanding the circle of fifths. Best 0.89 I’ve ever spent.

Keeps asking me to turn up the sound!!

Not intuitive and messy
