Fix the metronome
This WAS a great app. However the metronome no longer works and it’s been broken for a while. No updates in two years! Fix this!!
I was all about purchasing Tonal Harmony Pro until I saw that it’s from the same company. Tonal Harmony Pro seems like a game changer, even if it seems a bit “”non-intuitative.”” I can handle non-intuitive with time and patience, but when parts of an app simply stop working there’s nothing I can do on my end.
I wanted to leave a one star review but I can’t in good conscience since the app was so great before it stopped working. Please fix this.
Sincerely,
A previously very satisfied and now a severely irritated customer.

Perfection
App no longer works now that the metronome won’t provide audible clicks except for the very first beat of the first measure. Other reviewers are experiencing the same problem. I’ve sent an email to the developer but haven’t heard a response yet. This problem is on all platforms - iPhone, iPad and Mac laptops (where I also have the desktop version installed). Likely caused by Apple operating system updates. Please fix!!! I love the app, but can’t use it without the metronome.

Very good but...
Hello, I’m Santiago Di Cristófano (Santi Dicri), I’m a cruise ship orchestra guitar player, and I have been using this app to practice sight reading, but the metronome suddenly stopped working. I can see the metronome going but it doesn’t sound anymore, even if I change the sounds of the metronome, only the first beat of the first bar is making the sound and not the others.
I have been practicing with the app sight reading machine before, and I think you can get some ideas of improvements from that app. I think see music has some better stuff like the recording option, and the option of choosing in between triadic or steps music, but the other app has some features that this one doesn’t have as well. In the other app you can choose exactly the type of notes you want to read, and the key signature you want to read. In the other app you can add dynamics to the music. In the other app you don’t have the visible tempo mark always there and you have an option to play only with the metronome and not with the music going on.
Unfortunately they are not making updates in the other app, so I decided to buy this one and suggest you some changes to make it better.
And this ones are my ideas...
Option to sight read more than 8 bars
A + and a - to change the tempo accurately
An option to read more than one note at the time
An option to record myself and be able to listen to it after

Metronome does not click on iOS devices
I recently bought this app for iOS devices, I installed it in my iPad Air and on my iPhone 6 but when using the app for sight reading the metronome stops clicking just the visual indicator works which makes the practice less accurate and more difficult. I hope there is a fix for it, that’s the only reason I’m giving it 4 instead of five stars. I will test the midi as well I hope it works.

Does amazing things, but glitchy
I’ve not seen another app that fills this need—generates endless exercises but also grades performance on a number of factors (pitch/rhythm)!
However, it is rough around the edges and the app’s performance has degraded over the past month—perhaps due to OS changes?: 1) The awards page does not save the averages for the day anymore (never did save for the week) 2) The metronome sound now only plays the first beat and some times start of 5th measure. 3) Sometimes metronome stops altogether and/ or the app crashes.
I would so love for this to work as intended. I have tried re-installing the app and contacting developer via email, but awaiting response. I have an iPhone 8 with no other programs running.
Other comments:
Sometimes the Correct % seems more reliable than others. (Is it most reliable at the default tempo? Just tell me if that is a known issue, so I’m not trying to figure out whether I am actually getting worse at slower tempos?)
The progression is not transparent (does it give harder/easier exercises based on your performance?—if yes, what actions start you back at the beginning? Reopening? Changing a design parameter? Tempo? Not discussed in video tutorial.)
The navigation is needlessly clumsy on iPhone. (Move the “conductor” away from mic/start icon or put it under Settings for those that want it. I keep accidentally turning it on and it’s annoying. Eyes need to be looking ahead of current note anyway. Always have icon for something in same place — e.g. designer at bottom left, create excecise bottom right etc.)
As other reviewers say, I really would like to be able to pick key(s), similar to setting a user-defined range. See Tenuto for picking keys.
The See Music score/graphic means what? Explain.
