Update is terrible
Update made everything worse. Anything I used the app for is now harder to do, doesn’t work as well, or both.
Also, the app randomly cancels my practice session when I go to a different app then come back to it.
So the practice time tracker is unreliable and completely useless. Don’t depend on the app to track how long you’ve practiced.

Shameful not to have access to old recordings
I used this app daily and recorded my piano lessons every two weeks - I can now no longer access my old recordings and now have a trivial number of items available to me - do not bother with this app - they might have their reasons to make the changes explained to other recent reviewers ( Luke is spot on so I won’t repeat ) but they clearly have no respect or regard for the efforts of their musician users - they effectively steal your data and hold you to an expensive sub to get it back - avoid

In shock.
Don’t update. Daylight robbery. Modacity now only allow you access to a whopping 9 items. It’s insane. So generous of them…cheers. They’re clearly really thinking about the customer? I mean WOW. The update gives you limits on your reminders, recordings, everything, even your cloud syncing. You can kiss goodbye to all your lists. Speechless. Monthly subscription is now £12.99, with ZERO saving plans offered for longer term. Bit harsh? Didn’t realise the exchange rate was £1:€1 ? Mind looking into that one?
Not to mention this new app design is totally unnecessary, ugly, and a waste of their [our] money. The beautiful object was to encourage practice, no? Which you’d already mastered? Wasn’t it pleasing enough to you that you’d made the perfect app? Not earning enough eh? Watch out folks - Modacity is no more, just another click-bait tabloid. So unless you have fat pockets (and not much between the ears), I’d avoid sponsoring this company, as you certainly won’t improve much on your instrument without subscription, and because clearly this company has caught the “financially-unsatisfied” bug, and resorted to soulless and careless expansion at the expense of widespread musical encouragement. If you want to improve on your instrument with Modacity, without subscription - DO NOT UPDATE.
Such a shame that this once-brilliant and immensely helpful app has now become another transparent business-first-client-second moneymaker. Horrendous.

Good app for practice.
This is a good app for practice. Unfortunately the new update makes things harder to find and lists take a lot longer to scroll with much larger fonts and list item sizes.
Response from developer
Michael from the support team here. Thanks for the kind words, and for taking the time to leave honest feedback too. We've been actively monitoring feedback around information density and ease of navigation as we continue refining the design, so this is genuinely helpful to hear. If anything feels hard to find or the layout is getting in the way of your practice, feel free to email me directly at michael@modacity.co — I'm happy to help you get the most out of the app.
New version woes
This app was really nice before the update. Very simple interface that allowed one to quickly get to the features they needed without losing momentum. This update is not very intuitive and features are many clicks away. It is next to impossible to find the practice history for one example.
Additionally, the app seems to quit out of timed practice if you navigate away from the app.
I am super disappointed with this update and hope they fix some of the issues in updates.
Bummer.
