Perfect!

This is absolutely perfect for what it is - simple, uncluttered, organized and my favorite part is how it allows you to arrow through the various positions of the scale on the neck and they "light up" as you arrow - brilliant - well done - simple and straightforward, no thrills, works well on every device including mac

Elegant

This is a very elegant, simple app that does one thing well. If you want to find every note of a scale, mode, or arpeggio on the fretboard, you’re in luck. It can label the dots with degrees or note names. It can focus on 4-5 fret regions or the whole fretboard. This will be an extremely helpful practice tool for me. Thank you!

Un peu frustrant...

L’application en elle même est intéressante et permet une visualisation des principaux outils mélodiques. Toutefois il manque la possibilité de créer soi-même un diagramme en fonction de ses besoins et de la zone du manche travaillée. L’application gagnerait en interactivité et permettrait de réviser et mémoriser à partir d’une page vierge.

Very Nice but...

It only misses alternate tunings (even self custom ones) for now. Other than that, it is a nice and quick tool
