User reviews

Decent, but exercises are broken

The content and quizzes are decent, but many of the exercises are broken; it generates a question, but you can't select an answer. There's also a missing circle of fifths image too.

Five Stars so far!

Straight forward learning in the begging lessons -
I hope I will grasp the ones yet to come!

Wish this was for iPad

Great app wish it was on iPad so I can have a full screen experience

Sound

Sound is not working in exam questions

Great App But May Need Updates for iOS 26

Hello, thank you for this wonderful music theory app, I got to review a lot of comprehensive music theory concepts and do practices. I just want to notify you that after I update my iPhone to iOS 26, the comment function no longer works, and some pictures such as the Circle of Fifth picture in the Circle of Fifth section no longer shows up. Maybe the app will need to be updated to match the iOS system as well? Thank you!
