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?

Response from developer

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.

Response from developer

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

I like it

But is there really no tablature, just notation??

Response from developer

Hello. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We intend to include tablature in a future release of the app. In the meantime, have you checked out our other app ScaleTracks JAM? This has full guitar tab included and it is design to improve knowledge and enjoyment of scales through improvisation, with epic Jam tracks like you have never heard before. Thanks again

Super👍🏼

🙌🏼love this app

Great idea.

Great idea but appears to be designed for piano. What about other instruments and the ability to choose clefs? Would make a great app perfect and make a purchase a no brainier.

Brilliant

What a wonderful idea this is! This app actually brings fun into learning scales, and with such a big variety of musical styles. I even enjoy practising scales with musical accompaniment in styles that I wouldn’t normally listen to. One thing is certain: introducing the element of joy to scale practice will quickly develop musical prowess. Your speed, accuracy and confidence will rapidly grow by using this app.

Good!

Really good, but takes up a LOT of space

Almost perfect

Love it- just PLEASE consider facilitating much higher tempo than the maximum available now!
Well worth buying the full version. My more advanced students love it too, but the blah tempo is disappointing for them. Let's give those hard-working advanced pupils some fun too!!

Very good practice aid

I really like this app. It's great to give some variety to practice.
I believe they are going to provide a feature of just the piano part playing, and that will then make it perfect for practicing my violin intonation.

When that happens, it will be a 5-star app.

My previous review was one-star. If you happen to have seen that, the fault was with Apple, and not with this app, and the issue is now resolved.

Excellent!

My daughter loves this app. It makes learning scales a lot more fun!

Like the previous reviewer, I was annoyed that a supposedly "free" program cost $5 for the additional music files. The extra files ate up enough space on my iPad Mini that I had to remove some other apps so that this new program would run. Once installed, it is useful; I and my students (especially those at homes without a piano) can play scales and arpeggios and see if they are in tune. As a violist, I'd like to see this app with the ability to read and play alto clef; cellists would desire bass clef. This app is a little buggy, but it has great potential; I look forward to later versions.

Can't download all tracks

Paid my five bucks but now I can't get all twelve keys. It's locked on the "content downloading" screen. Deleted app and downloaded again with the same issue. Lots of promise here but I wish it friggin worked

Response from developer

Hi sph520, I'm sorry you're having problems. Please contact support@scaletracks.com and we'll help you get this working.

Awesome App

This app is so cool and makes scales and arpeggios so much more enjoyable! Thank you!!

Wow!

My daughter loves this new app and has been practicing her scales for the first time in ages. This is a great demo version and she can't wait to try out more keys!

Good concept but only 2 scales

I like this app but will have limited use since it only has the key of C major and A minor!

Response from developer

Dear IvoryLeague, We have a version available now that enables all keys, and is usable on the iPhone. Many Thanks
