User reviews

Excellent learning tool.

It's definitely geared toward someone who takes learning music seriously. And as an added bonus, you don't have to pay a continual indentured subscription fee to use it - like 99% of the apps on the App Store.

Instructions please

Very poor instructions for someone new to all this!

Can’t buy new levels

Great idea but only 2 stars. I really enjoyed playing through the first 2 days and tried to buy level 1. After being told that my purchase was successful I can’t see the rest of the level. Is this a glitch or daylight robbery?

Just needs a bit more polish

Wishlist:
*ability to choose a 2 bar read ahead length
*ability to turn pages with a single tap instead of a swipe
*eliminate flicker on graphics changes
*contemporary examples
*open score exercises (open score SATB or similar)

Great idea, awful implementation

Exercises disappear maybe a third of the time, have to kill and restart several times to get them back. Unable to reset progress and start a section again, have to keep bouncing back to the pick a day screen. Shame, it seems like a great way to improve sight reading but basically unusable.
