### 5/5 — What an unique music app

*2023-08-07*

This is a crazy app idea! I’m a 8 year professional trombone player and this is a great app for new and interested trombone students to practice with!

### 5/5 — Must have for musicians

*2020-10-22*

I have found this app recently and recommended to my peers and fellow band members because it fits everyone’s needs. It is the first fingering chart app that actually has a dedicated fingering chart! There are so many instruments supported which is incredible. Would 100% recommend to any level of musician because it has so many alternates for most instruments and can find the fingering you need nice and easy.

### 5/5 — Really Great App!

*2020-10-13*

As a growing musician myself, I understand the struggles of not knowing a fingering for my instrument. Having it on my phone is so much more convenient than pulling out my book and looking it up. This app runs smoothly and is very easy to navigate. I love how there are many different options for alternate fingerings as well. It’s a nice touch that most books don’t offer. It’s also nice to see something different in terms music apps on the App Store. Really great idea and excellent execution!

### 5/5 — Music moms

*2020-09-20*

Wonderful app great for practice.

### 5/5 — Perfect!!

*2020-09-19*

This app is very clear, well organized, and easy to use!! Coming from experience as a Drum Major, it will help me to be a better teacher to others who play instruments different than mine! It allows new musicians to have a wonderful, digital interface to learn and double-check fingerings, and it gives intermediate musicians a quick reference to learn alternate fingerings that can help with tuning!

Overall, it is a quality, well-made app! I highly recommend to any musician!!

### 5/5 — Perfect for all wind musicians!

*2020-09-18*

This app is very thorough, including lots wind instruments and tones of alternate fingering charts... even some fingerings I couldn’t find in my technical fingering chart for clarinet! Overall an amazing app, very easy to use and super useful.

### 5/5 — Wow!

*2020-09-17*

This app is very well organized and put together! Definitely recommend getting for individual musicians simply trying to expand their knowledge for their instrument or others! Perfect for student leaders helping those who aren’t in their section out! Definitely an absolute game changer for growing musicians!

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2020-09-16*

This is an exceptional app for wind instrumentalists, band directors, student leaders and others!! A great quick reference for fingerings. An app like this has been long overdue!
