Try it and you will see the difference ### 5/5 — 五星 *2017-04-16, version 1.22* 非常好！若按下音符後能顯示簡譜更好（即 F♭, G♭, A♭, B)幫助記下音符，若能增加看指法猜是哪個音就十分好！！幫助記下音符 ### 5/5 — Good! *2016-09-28, version 1.20* Good! ### 5/5 — Great! *2016-07-12* I have used similar apps before but this one really hits the nail on the head ### 5/5 — Great *2016-07-05* More interactive than traditional books and CDs ### 4/5 — Nice *2016-07-04* Demo is easy to follow. Only two instruments though- violin and flute **Developer response:** Hello, Apple has enabled the reply function and we can contact you now.

Thanks! ### 4/5 — 唔錯 *2016-07-04, version 1.12* 有無大提琴version? ### 5/5 — Good app *2016-06-22* Really helps with my intonation ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Subscription fake 1 month trial *2023-05-03, version 2.05* Content still locked subscribed tho ### 1/5 — No more strings *2018-09-18* It’s bothersome that you have a whole section called “Strings,” yet it’s only violin. I’m a cellist and thought this app would be cool, but I can’t use it, because I don’t play violin. :/ ### 2/5 — Is this to bad?!!? *2022-10-15, version 2.03* This thingy needs to buy, You can add advertisements! You can even add Piano version to support many people that don’t want to buy the ABRSM piano scales app! I am doing a PIANO exam at school, and I need to practice! ### 2/5 — Sudden quit app *2020-07-21, version 1.41* The app always sudden quit. Same problem after reinstall and upgrade iOS. Disappointed, it is not worth for the money I paid. ### 2/5 — Won’t allow me to purchase *2018-12-22, version 1.41* I’ve tested the app and like it but now want to purchase it. I’m presented with the 3 options it can’t select any of them for some reason? ### 2/5 — Not enough instruments *2018-08-08, version 1.41* No cello vision ### 2/5 — Good idea *2018-06-24, version 1.41* I got this so that I could practise my piano scales and do a mock exam. However, there is not a piano option which will disappoint many people. Also it is rather expensive at £6 a month just to get feedback. If there was a piano option then perhaps I'd give this 4 or 5 stars depending on how the month went and whether it was worth the money. ### 3/5 — Why, oh why? *2016-10-01, version 1.20* Is there no version for recorder? Tons of children study the recorder. ### 4/5 — Cello Version *2019-06-20, version 1.41* Pls. add Cello Version, thanks. ### 4/5 — Great idea! *2018-05-25, version 1.41* Brilliant idea, could do with a how to use guide for less confident maybe. Also, where are the piano and keyboard scales?! I need those too!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 幫到手 *2019-06-14, version 1.41* 買俾個仔用，因為用書佢成日賴唔記得d指法唔肯練，我又唔識教... miss都話佢進步左！ ### 5/5 — 幾好用 *2019-06-14, version 1.41* 用左一段時間，都唔錯，希望之後會出埋6-8級。 ### 5/5 — Nice to have *2019-06-14, version 1.41* Good to have some guidiance to practice with, esp the exam mode which helps me to get prepared for the real one! ### 5/5 — nice... *2019-06-14, version 1.41* like the app idea! i can quickly check the fingering of a specific scale, and it gives feedbacks on my performance ### 5/5 — Good app for self learner *2019-06-14, version 1.41* I'm prepraring the Grade 3 violin exam on my own, liked the aual app therefore subscribed for this scale one. LIke the instant feedback and corrections. I hope they will continue to build the grade 6-8 parts. ### 5/5 — Surprisingly good *2019-06-14, version 1.41* Was looking for some interactive tool to help my daughter with her violin practice, this app serves its purpose well and my daughter seems to enjoy practice more now. ### 5/5 — Better Than I Expected *2019-06-14, version 1.41* I was skeptical about using an app to practice music, but it turns out to be a good experience. It gives feedback immediately, and keep records on my performance, so that i know which scales i need to focus on more ### 5/5 — Great *2019-06-14, version 1.41* Didn't expect practicing scale could be fun ### 5/5 — Good but hope there's more *2019-06-14, version 1.41* This is a great app, i work for a youth orchestra and saw many of our young musicians improved their skills with it, just hope they cover more instruments. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2019-06-06, version 1.41* my daughter is learning flute and she likes to practice with this app! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
