It’s been improved but would still like M m dim on the scales wheel. The chord wheel is not readable where note degrees overlap chord names ### 4/5 — Not bad *2026-01-17, version 2.8.7* Could really be levelled up if the Circle showed minor and diminished chords for each scale. ### 3/5 — Keyboard is off. *2020-12-01, version 2.4.1* When I start the G scale the keyboard shows a C note as a start. This is not good. ### 2/5 — Excessive ads *2020-05-14, version 1.0* Hit a key, ad pops up, I close it. Hit one key, ad pops back up again. Close it. Hit one note again, AD. After that, it didn’t do every single note, but randomly every 5 or 10. But every once in a while, it gives you an ad every note. A bit overboard. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2026-02-08, version 3.1.0* I had bought the app in 2024 for a one time fee just for them to lock pretty much all scales behind a subscription. Don’t help fund these people. Every thing was available before they changed it to be subscription based. Now I paid money to not get the product I was promised. Such a scam ### 1/5 — App said it was 2.99 charged me $19.24?! *2024-02-16, version 2.8.6* Not sure that is going on there, but I’ve not looked at the app 2 seconds and already not liking what just happened. ### 1/5 — Pour débutant *2023-04-30* Pour débutant only ### 1/5 — Unusable on iPad. *2020-12-03, version 2.4.1* Downloaded and tried to use it several times, but whenever I try to change root notes the screen goes blank. At least it was free, so...there’s that. Update: Developer asked for a response with no obvious way of doing it without joining LinkedIn, so hopefully this will do. My current iOS version is 13.6.1 ### 1/5 — Does not work on ipad *2020-08-04, version 2.2* App crashes with each button press on my ipad ### 2/5 — The piano version too limited *2025-01-26, version 2.8.7* The app has good features, but the images in the App Store only show the guitar view. The piano view is way more limited. Only a few scale options, but the guitar view has way more. If the same interface & features were in the piano section would have given 5 stars ### 2/5 — Beautiful interface but very limited *2023-07-24, version 2.8.6* Unsure why you had to limit the chords for piano, but not guitar or bass. Could have been a good teaching tool and resource. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t actually use the power of the circle. What a waste *2023-03-12, version 2.8.6* Why not expand the circle and show the relationships of the notes? Cool UI but falls b…(flat) ### 2/5 — Only major scales??? *2021-12-11* Where are minor scales shown? Very strange… **Developer response:** hello, you can change the scales by clicking on the scales menu. regards ### 2/5 — Musically wrong *2020-12-01, version 2.4.1* B Major does not have D flat, or any flats for that matter. Identify notes by their correct names, and call them that. As a music educator this hurts my soul. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — So helpful! *2026-03-05, version 3.4* It’s great to have such a helpful tool with a clear interface. At my request, the developer just added scalar numbers to the wheel. Thanks!! ### 5/5 — Best app for writing music! *2023-03-03, version 2.8.6* Best app for writing music, or even just following proper chord progressions and all ### 5/5 — Please add melodic minor! *2023-02-21, version 2.8.6* I love this and its teaching me to see melodies within the construct of the circle, but i really need melodic minor. If there were a major update to this app, it would be amazing if that could include the modes of harmonic minor and melodic minor as well. ### 5/5 — Pretty great app *2023-01-30, version 2.8.6* Love this app but I wish there was a print option ### 5/5 — That fix the sound issue :) *2021-03-28, version 2.8.1* This is one of the best devs I have ever dealt with. Literally responded to me within minutes. The sound issue has been fixed, thank you very much for that. And thank you for reaching out to me on here I’m sorry I missed your previous message. Have a great day, and thanks for the amazing scales app. ### 5/5 — Sehr ansprechende App. *2020-12-03* Die Pro-Version war heute in 'AppsGoneFree' ein Angebot. Für Anfänger, die wissen möchten welche Töne zueinander passen eine perfekte App (da auch jede Note bei Berührung angespielt wird). Empfehlung! ### 5/5 — Works very well *2020-11-20, version 2.4.1* This is a nicely designed app with a clean layout. It shows scales and modes in every key with the circle of fifths on top and a fretboard or keyboard below showing scales and modes. Works great for me. There are no ads at this time, which is appreciated. ### 5/5 — App crashes if you try to do anything *2020-09-15, version 2.4* I initially gave this 1 star because you Couldn’t do anything other than look at the initial screen. App would close out as soon as you touched anything. After upgrading it works great and does what it’s supposed to. ### 5/5 — Хорошее приложение *2020-08-25* Удобное бесплатное приложение, я бы добавил возможность выбирать блюзовые аккорды для пианино, а не только для баса. Поддержал автора ₽₽₽. ### 5/5 — Great app, can’t wait for updates *2020-08-07, version 2.2* Very cool app! The clean design makes me want to pay a buck for no ads, which I’m gonna probably do. I do hope that your guys’ next step is to add the modes for guitar! Maybe increase the amount of scales, that would be dope!😁 Edit: They added modes, I’m very impressed!
