### 5/5 — Impressive

*2026-06-11*

The more I dig through this app the more useful information I find. Scales in every position, chords all across the neck etc. This app is truly worth the money.

### 4/5 — Très bon outil, améliorations à apporter pour plus d'étoiles (et une meilleure utilisation)

*2026-01-03*

Je découvre progressivement les possibiltés, intéressantes et pratiques.

Mais il serait intéressant de:
* disposer d'un cycle des quintes
* montrer les accords harmonisés pour une gamme choisie et pas seulement les positions d'accord du degré I
* pouvoir comparer 2 gammes dans la même fenêtre.
* Indiquer la forme du caged sur le manche
* Superposer les gamme et accords compatibles sur le manche
* Rendre plus visible la note choisie sur le bandeau du haut
* Pouvoir contrôler le métronome au clavier
* Rendre l'icône maison plus visible
* Rendre le changement d’accordage plus pratique en cliquant sur l’accordage plutôt que « home »   « paramètre »

* Dans la fonction « accords » ce serait bien de pouvoir rajouter ou modifier des notes et voir indiqué le nom du nouvel accord (mélange accord et recherche)
merci

### 5/5 — guitar gravitas

*2026-01-03*

un outil indispensable pour tout guitaristes

### 4/5 — Nice

*2025-10-09, version 2.9.4*

Thanks really helpful good job

### 5/5 — very useful

*2025-06-25*

I like tht they identify the notes in the chord and arpeggio patterns so I can see what I am doing and it makes sense!

### 5/5 — Very well done with one omission.

*2025-05-15*

I love this app as both a reference and a teaching tool to prevent writing that which has already been written a billion times. I just wish there was an option to see things in musical notation on the staff either intervals and fingering like that offered on the tab. That’s the hard part of reading notation quickly is guidance on fingering when looking at the notes on the staff. Everything else is great!

### 5/5 — Must Have for Daily Practice and Reference

*2025-03-28*

This app is ridiculously good.  I use it every day during my practice sessions.  I highly recommend it.  I docked a star though.  I bought the premium version, it’s dirt cheap, after using the free version for a while.  The app crashes upon opening a lot.  I couldn’t use it at all yesterday.  Today, it’s up.  It’s been behaving like this for me for a few weeks now.  I’m hoping the dev sees this and can cure the crash debacle.

### 4/5 — suggerimento

*2025-03-14, version 2.9.4*

Mi piacerebbe avere la notazione delle note all’europea grazie

### 5/5 — Valuable Practice Tool

*2025-02-18*

I use Guitar Gravitas daily in my guitar practice.  I like having every scale I could imagine in one place.  The ability to bounce between CAGED, 3 note, and adaptive scales is cool.  Not to lose a star, but I run this on my M1 Mac along with Logic Pro.  When amp modeling is present, Gravitas won’t tune my guitar.  It wants the guitar de-coupled from my Mac via my interface and the tuner works fine then.  That’s such a nit since I usually have a tuner on the head.

### 5/5 — Gitar Gravitas

*2024-12-15*

I like this app because its support lefty players, also is very eazy to find chord or scale that you need.
