## What is Grapes?

Think of Grapes as an index of scales and chords for a guitarist.

Finding a concise app containing a detailed list of the modes was impossible. Grapes has a simple display without any of the complexity of other guitar apps, while still offering an in-depth collection of scales. We've also included a chord selector and several chord charts.

To simplify the process of memorizing scales, we have a “Modes” section, which helps illustrate each mode’s unique shape.
- Includes all 28 modes made from the 4 heptatonic scales: Major, Melodic Minor, Harmonic Minor and Harmonic Major.
- NEW Diatonic Chord Chart page - shows all the chords from every key and every scale - a song writer's dream!
- Also includes the Pentatonic scale and it’s modes, as well as 5 symmetrical scales.
- Horizontal & vertical fretboard display
- Lessons for beginners
- Voicings, inversions and starter/advanced chord charts
- Favorites section
- Prevent screen lock capability
- Compatible with dark mode
- Custom color schemes
- Exporting diagrams

### 4/5 — Dark Mode

*2026-01-18*

Wondering if a Dark Mode option is possibly in the works?

**Developer response:** Dark mode should work. I use it everyday! I'm guessing you mean you want an independent dark mode button in the app that's separate from iOS? I will make sure to prioritize that. If that's not what you meant, feel free to use the in-app support form to provide some details (like device type and OS version) and I think we'll be able to get you sorted out. Thank you for the review and for reaching out!

### 4/5 — Very nice

*2025-10-19*

Would get 5 stars for alternate tuning option

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2025-06-18*

This is perfect. I had limited knowledge of music theory and this app has helped me expand that knowledge tremendously just by experimenting with different mode variants.

**Developer response:** Hey thank you for the kind words! Feel free to use the in-app contact form to submit any notes on features you may want or anything that can be improved.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2025-01-24*

This app has a very nice layout and there are a lot of great features, it’s just what I was looking for!

### 4/5 — Left handed

*2024-12-19, version 1.4*

Add a left hand view of chords and scales for players like me.

### 5/5 — The best tool for memorizing guitar scales

*2024-11-09*

I love how clean and organized it is, making it easy to see the scale shapes visually.  The only improvement I'd love to see is displaying the intervals for each note.

### 5/5 — The App You Are Looking 4!!!!

*2024-08-11*

hello. first off, well done. you sir have a beautiful soul and i thank the universe for igniting the burning ember that is your soul. For it wasn’t you this world..
would likely lie in shambles, and i wouldn’t be here to thank you. Thank you 🫡 i shal smk i 🥣 i. yir honor good sir

### 5/5 — Simple & Clean

*2024-04-05*

Very simple, but effective interface with some subtle animation sprinkled in. Appreciate you giving this great little tool away for free Zach!

Would love to be able to zoom out slightly so the whole fretboard could fit onto my screen in the near future. And to create duplicates of favorited chords to organize them into groups.

### 2/5 — Error with how things are displayed

*2023-12-06*

I love that it is free, how customizable it is, and easy to use. But things aren’t lining up correctly with the fret board background and the scales

### 5/5 — Wowza

*2023-09-30*

Fantastic and minimalist! All you really need. 

My only wish/qualm is that there isn’t a bass mode. I know you can garner the same info from the fretboard, but it’s much easier visually when the B and E string aren’t there to draw attention. Dats my two cents. Cheers!
