Works great! Sound can be a problem but easy fix

It works great and perfectly fulfills my needs. I was having a problem with sound, but it was because my phone was on silent mode. If you turn silent mode off it should work

App doesn’t work!

No sound coming out

Just installed - no sound coming out

Just installed - no sound coming out - help link is broken - anyone home?

Ok for major keys…

Nice idea for practising solfa, but when in a minor key the home note is LA, not DO.

Take care when using ‘Key’ in the ‘Settings’

Easy to use, navigate and customise.
Selecting a ‘Major’ or ‘Minor’ key does not mean that the correct set of syllables will be used. For example, it is possible to select both ‘Major’ and ‘Me’, but ‘Me’ is not part of a major scale. You need to manually select the correct syllables for a Major scale and for the different types of Minor scales. For example, Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La, Ti for a major scale. For minor scales, select ‘Me’ (not ‘Mi’) and perhaps also ‘Le’ and ‘Te’. This depends on the type of minor scale and also on whether the training for minor is ‘La-based’ or ‘Do-based’ (not revealed in the app).
Staves are not provided. This means that you can hear the tones, but not see them in notation.
There is only one instrument sound: piano.
