### 3/5 — Okay, But Not Great

*2017-02-28, version 2.3*

The primary musical terms I lookup are tempo terms so that I can setup my metronome with bpm.  There are no bpm indications listed.  

The first non-tempo term I looked up was 'motif'.  That term was not there either.

The app is Okay, but it could be a lot better.

### 2/5 — Waste of $1

*2015-08-15, version 2.3*

We needed a dictionary for piano lessons.  The first word assigned--motive--was not in there.  Seems a bit ridiculous.

### 4/5 — Nice pocket dictionary but...

*2015-01-20, version 2.3*

This is a nice reference book, but, I wish that I was able edit or put notes somewhere in this app.

### 5/5 — Perfect for learning!

*2014-08-19, version 2.3*

This app has very simple definitions and is very easy to use. I am using it to teach music terms seen in the songbook at church. Highly recommended!

### 1/5 — Not very thorough

*2014-01-27, version 2.2*

I wanted to look up two words "tonality" and "modality", the fundamentals of music, and they were not there.

### 2/5 — Needs more information!

*2012-06-14, version 2.1.3*

It's not bad, but it needs more information, and more pictures along with the definitions. I can't exactly search an image, nor could I describe it in the search bar and have it come out. As of now, this is not worth even the dollar I paid for it. This would make a good free version, and a larger information database would be worth the dollar. I probably won't even look in this app again until there is an update.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2012-04-06, version 2.1.3*

Great little piece of reference material in my phone. As a music teacher who operates music studios over 3 counties I'm glad I leave the music dictionary at home. My only complaints are, 1) I wish I could enter definitions myself and 2) more info, 500 definitions is a god start but when is the next installment?

### 3/5 — Great app but

*2011-08-23, version 2.0.2*

Please format for iPad users! 
Needs visuals. For the notation, a clear picture of a rest symbol for an example. Showing where it goes on the staff. Visuals visuals visuals! The bookmarks are cool. So, you can save definitions.

### 5/5 — Teacher

*2010-01-06, version 0*

Great app... Definitions are right on... Best music dictionary app available...good for music teachers and students...

### 1/5 — AP Music Theory student

*2009-12-25, version 0*

This app is terrible. If you are a new musician and dont understand tempo markings or basic things like cresendo and decresendo...

then its perfect.
otherwise there is not enough information. period.
it will not help anyone.
