Performance improvements.

User reviews

Thanks

I couldn’t figure out how to edit my previous review, so posting a new one. Thanks for updating the app to open on the iPad using iOS 14! Noting that if you could make it so it can rotate portrait to landscape like Beats, that would be even better! Thanks again for the quick update!

Response from developer

Hi musicialpaisan! Thanks for your purchase and your feedback. We recently updated Modal Buddy for iOS 14. Can you let me know if you're still having issues? Feel free to reach out to support@ninebuzz.com. Regards, Rick

Text overlaps making it impossible to read.

I do like the other product by this developer but this one is unusable on my iPad or iPhone. The title text overlaps the interval descriptions making it nearly impossible to read the content. I gave up one the app after a couple of minutes.

Recommend saving your money.

Modal Buddy

Great app one drawback it needs to have a setting to add the intervals on the circles like the 1st 2 3 b7 etc. please add a setting

Good but skimpy

1. Could use more examples
2. Should explain signature note for each node
3. Pretty thin for$5

No more pentatonic

A minor was my go to and know this inside n out up n down the neck. After playing this n getting by I want deeply to go to the next level. YouTube was a bust as you get a small bit without the backing knowledge I spent cash on it loaded the app went over it a few times then started to use it. No after some time melodic scales come from modes and that was it. After using n practicing and memorizing and going back over this now is something that seemed so big but now it was really small and I use it daily. My wife has noticed a difference ( I don't think she ever watched intently) but it is just more melodic and more NOT the normal sounds-
