User reviews

Minor scales incorrect

On my app, for example, Bm scale doesn’t contain a C#. Am I missing something?

Nice app otherwise.

awesome app but 5 string would be amazing!!!

i love this app it is very informative and i love Talkingbass. i think one thing to make this app perfect would be a 5 string bass option! just an idea

A great app

This is a great app which I use all the time. It would be even better if it had the option to select all the notes in a scale across at least the first 12 frets - so you could visualise all the notes in one view. Great app though. Five stars.

Response from developer

v1.20 has just been released which adds a left handed option in the new settings page. Let us know if it does what you want.

Don’t waste your money like me

Scales are not in all frets, they need to put scales complete in all mástil like other apps does (scales pro app)

Fantastic app

Brilliant tool for learning and practicing your scales and all of the various modes. Even has the music theory for each of them. As a lefty it would be nice if you could flip the display so I don’t have to reverse it in my head 🙂

UPDATE: So a couple of days later and there’s a new version with support for Lefty’s, totally awesome.

I continue to be impressed with this app, if you play or are learning bass there really is no reason not to get.

Update 2: still using and enjoying this app. Would like the ability to adjust the volume mix levels for the click and the scale when it plays through the scale. So I can adjust it to just have the scale sound so I can learn what a particular scale sounds like or move it to more click for practicing with.
Thanks.
