### 5/5 — Just what I needed

*2022-10-15*

Enough to challenge me and keep me sharp.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2019-02-20, version 2.5*

For many years I have played guitar, mostly by ear. Now I am using this app to fulfill a New Years goal to better understand music theory. The tutorials are clear and informative and well suited to many kinds of learners. I am enjoying this app and highly recommend it.

### 4/5 — Good app but could be better

*2019-02-07, version 2.4*

The app is good for its intended purpose. I am writing a review because of a frustrating user interface decision. You must quickly read an animated question and remember the question while answering. That makes the task harder than it has to be. If the question was left on the screen you could look away a second and not forget or miss the question. If the animation could be disabled this would be a better app.

### 1/5 — In app not free

*2019-02-07, version 2.4*

In appstore showed that free in-app but when restore inside app, it showed need pay 2,99$, scam

**Developer response:** HI - really sorry you had an issue with this. Could you please email me through the app and tell me what happened? I'm definitely not trying to scam anyone but there may be a bug I'm unaware of. Please note that if you are a brand new user, you DO have to pay to unlock levels 2 and 3. The restore Free IAP is for users of previous versions who already paid for the app. It's there for people who paid for the app and then delete it and then wish to reinstall it. With the Free IAP, they can unlock the levels again for free, since they already paid for it.

### 5/5 — Great music app

*2017-05-25*

This app has been a big help in my education of music theory

### 4/5 — One major flaw

*2016-10-22*

I want to begin this review with the unreadable font size used in this app. It is nearly impossible to read the tutorials, and see the notation. Aside from this flaw, the information is succinct, flows well to each new module, and has study games to reinforce the tutorials. I like it, and really wish I could read it.

### 5/5 — Great overview

*2016-08-29*

As a returning musician after a huge break this app is great to refresh my memory of basic theory that I've forgotten with info and exercises to test my knowledge on. I can also reset the score to retest after doing more refreshing.

### 5/5 — Great theory app!

*2016-07-23, version 1.0*

This app is laid out in a clear and uncluttered fashion that makes it easy to focus on the task at hand. The background is peaceful and calming.  Can be used for review, or learning from scratch via the tutorials. Love the multi-lingual words of encouragement!

### 5/5 — Intuitive and easy to use

*2016-07-09, version 1.0*

This is a well-designed and simple app to use. It's perfect for music students.

### 5/5 — A must have

*2016-07-08, version 1.0*

Great concept! I love how learning with this app is so easy and convenient. Definitely worth downloading and introducing to music students of all levels!!
