### 5/5 — Perfect

*2020-01-07*

Can’t understand why this hasn’t gotten higher ratings. It’s a great app.

### 1/5 — ガッカリ

*2014-08-08*

iPad mini retinaですが、何回やっても起動直後に落ちるため、全く使えません。

### 2/5 — Pretty bad

*2014-06-04*

This app was designed by someone who does not understand music theory. Nor was it checked to see if it was understandable in English. 

The instructions are completely incomprehensible, must have just been fed through Google Translate. 

It lists the spelling of Cb9 as: C E F# A# C#.

Need I say more?

### 5/5 — 素晴らしい

*2014-01-08*

コード、スケールの種類が豊富！そしてとてもわかりやすく使いやすい！
