In FIX IT, NAME IT switches it: C# minor becomes Db minor, Bb minor becomes A# minor. • The name you pick shows everywhere: the big header, THE PAD, COPY SHORTHAND and the relative key (Db minor's is E). • One tap to UNDO. Songs you already counted keep their names until you change them. IN 1.2.1: LISTEN tells you where to stand. IN 1.2: RIDE follows the band, TAP IT IN, meters bar by bar.

User reviews

Nope

Tried it out off curiosity. Put in a very simple song and it hardly did a single thing right. Bummer, but exactly what I expected from a seemingly unchecked AI developed app. Would give 0/5 stars if I could.

Def doesn’t understand 6/4 time

I want very much for this to work. I’m a big fan and love the idea. The problem I’m running into is the first song I’m trying to get it to learn goes between 6/4 and 4/4 and the machine doesn’t seem to understand it and I don’t see any way to change during those sections to 6/4 in the fix it window 🤷🏻‍♂️
Hopefully 🤞 we can get this fixed as I play in a bunch of bands that mess with six against 4. This is a great idea if we can get the Bugs out
