Bug fixes.

User reviews

Fix bugs

July 29 2025 bug erasing all progress every time still not fixed

Doesn’t work on iPad

Only displays one moon, always in the center regardless of which degree of the scale it is supposed to be affecting. Also, quitting the app doesn’t stop the music playing: you either have to delete the app or shut off the iPad.

Sound doesn’t work

Was great for about 3 days, then the sound just stopped working. Even after deleting the app (along with my progress) the sound does not work.

Sound is now fixed

Good value

No sound

Great concept, excellent for building your ear for modal jazz. However, the app has a bug that doesn’t let it play any sounds.
