## What is Scale Junkie?

The worlds first mobile app specifically designed to make playing scales amazingly fun and exciting! Come on, let's be real. Sitting down with your instrument and turning on a metronome (click..click...click...) at 60 bpm to repetitively play the same scale over and over again although effective, is not the most exhilarating experience that you're just longing to get back to every day. We understand that, and that's why we created Scale Junkie!

With Scale Junkie, you can have a fun immersive experience while playing your scales to music specifically created to keep you engaged, and interested the whole entire time! You're not just practicing to a metronome any more, you now have a full band playing along with you! The scales you play are now a melody to a song, and the Scale Junkie band accompanies you, making it a fun and enjoyable experience!

-Switch seamlessly between musical sections
-Separate audio tracks with the ability to mute out instruments and practice to what you want to hear

### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2026-02-08, version 2.1.6*

Excellent App! Can you make the choice to buy the app for life? Or annually?

### 2/5 — $20 per month

*2025-05-04*

You apparently can’t use unless you pay. Hard to evaluate that way.  Hard to find apps that suit my need as intermediate to advanced player.  So many apps don’t work for me.  I deleted this one as unusable. I wonder how they got such a high rating with this business model.

### 1/5 — It’s not free.

*2025-03-26*

You get one scale (major) and the rest will cost you $20, so it’s another cheap app - crude and ugly interface - seekkng to trap you with a subscription. Also, there’s maybe six scales. Pathetic. You people should be ashamed of yourselves.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2025-02-09*

The non-subscription version of this app does NOTHING.  Literally everything I clicked on brought me to a subscription page.  How am I supposed to know if I want to subscribe if I can’t even get a taste of what this does before buying?  Don’t waste your time.

### 1/5 — PAY TO PLAY!

*2025-01-28*

You can do almost next to nothing without paying $20 a month to subscribe! Terrible! Some of the tracks should be free to use. I can’t demo any to see if I would like the way it functions!

### 1/5 — Trash

*2025-01-28, version 2.1.2*

Literally doesn’t work. Nothing is free.

### 5/5 — Fantastic!!

*2021-02-01*

Truly the BEST app for making scale practice FUN again.
If you want to practice scales and make it sound musical then this app is for you...
Boring scale practice gone forever!

### 5/5 — Genius!

*2020-09-23*

Finally, practicing scales can be fun!

### 5/5 — Alléluia

*2020-08-31*

Such a Great idea. Glory to the Lord for this app. Be blessed. I downloaded here due to a commercial on Instagram. 
Im from France.

Check my grandfather artist song’s : Marcel Boungou

Be blessed.

### 5/5 — A must download!

*2020-06-23*

I’m a beginner at learning how to play the piano and hands down this is the best app to utilize while learning how to play scales I did not know there were so many ways to play a scale such as 8th notes etc... Great Job CDub 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
