No bass clef

Apparently this is for “all instruments” but there is no bass clef option (that I can see). This is disappointing and reduced its usefulness to me.

Good app

Woodwind players often have to play scales and arpeggios to the twelfth - it would be amazing if this app was versatile enough to allow this. Otherwise useful as a practice aid for my piano students.

Songster

I thought I had paid 6.99 for the initial app. My apologies if I confused it with another one. So are you saying that after the free 2 key download that to access the rest of the keys it is then 13.99?

This review is for another app ‘Songster’. Please remove it immediately!

Beautiful sounds and great ear training

Hearing the arpeggios and scales in context makes this app a truly musical experience. Recommended.

Update: Been using this about a month now and my ability to hear the degree and quality of a scale or arpeggio has improved a lot. I often just have it playing as it is fun to listen to. No connection to the developer, just a happy customer.

La versione full non funziona,soldi persi

Ho acquistato la versione completa, ho quindi potuto scaricarne tutti i contenuti. Purtroppo il download non è andato a buon fine. Al termine della istallazione l'Ipad si è bloccato. Spento e acceso più volte senza risultato. Ho provato a reistallare l'app. Mi chiede di acquistare la versione full non riconoscendomi l'acquisto già concluso. Ho inviato una mail al servizio di assistenza, ma ad oggi, non ho avuto risposta.

Hello. Please email info@scaletracks.com and we will help you. This is a known issue with a very small number of devices. We have a fix for it and will shortly be releasing a major update to address it. Thanks
