Please: • Increase the size of the control buttons; • Add more time options; • Add metronome; • More strings options; • More tuning options; **Developer response:** Hi NODE Try this steps: 1. check your volume on iPhone device 2. check your silence button on iPhone device 3. bring the app to background and then to foreground again 4. restart your iPhone device (depends on your device): hold your home button until “turn off button” appear - then turn off and start your device again
 Best regards Zoltan ### 3/5 — Good app but with limited tuning settings *2019-01-30, version 3.6.6* Overall, good and useful App. Unfortunately, it lacks of alternative tunings (e.g. p4). ### 4/5 — Perfect *2018-12-18, version 3.6.6* Great for practice and reminders. It’s a good way to help get to know the fretboard and individual notes as well. ### 5/5 — Thanks for making the best scale app to date *2015-03-26, version 3.6.1* Messed around with so many scale apps. This is by far the best. Lots of options, great format. I'm deleting all my others ### 5/5 — Best of its kind *2015-01-28, version 3.5.3* I can't imagine how any other app could surpass this one in presenting guitar scales. ### 5/5 — Great resource *2014-12-10, version 3.5.3* A must have for any guitarist. ### 5/5 — Best app *2014-12-10, version 3.5.3* I don't understand why this isn't the number one music app. I use it all the time and I've never had any problems with it. ### 5/5 — Musician *2014-11-17, version 3.5.1* It is the best app that I have seen for practicing guitar ear training. --A couple weeks ago I was on a 3 hour flight to LA and I devoted that flight to reading through a book about guitar theory. I was looking at images of the different scales presented in the book and reading about them while I tried to hear what each note of the scales sounded like in my head. It was tough. With the Star Scales app though, in a similar situation, I am able to picture the scales easily on the fret board and also tap the notes to hear what the scale sounds like with each note in succession to one another. For me, that helps me hear the scale succession as if I were playing a guitar solo. I do not read music well and I am a self taught guitar player, so for me it is most important to play guitar from ear. I believe that practicing those scales on your app would easily translate into memorization of scales on a real guitar neck. Which is awesome. The ear training aspect of this app is unmatched. One thing that would be cool to help guitar players understand the sonic characteristics of each scale could be to have a recorded song that exemplifies each guitar scale. So for example, if I were to click on a Dorian minor scale in C, I could hear a recording of somebody playing that scale over a rhythm section in that key. Overall, I think this app is the best tool out there for guitar players who already have a basic understanding of what scales are, and what they are used for. When a guitarist needs to practice their ear training on an airplane or something, your app will help people learn effectively. Thanks for turning me on to it, I will definitely keep using it! ### 5/5 — Powerful app *2014-10-29, version 3.5.1* Add this to your arsenal of guitar training tools. Feature packed and easy to use. ### 2/5 — Crashing constantly *2014-10-22, version 3.5.0* Ran for a day, now just crashes, starts for about one second then….? not impressed as had to pay for this one. am running on iPhone 5S with 64gb, IOS8.02 is there a fix for this on the way? ### 5/5 — Excelente *2014-07-23* Uso diariamente para meus estudos ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Want my money back *2022-08-12* Want my money back ### 1/5 — Caution *2021-02-14, version 3.8.1* Was checking battery performance and this app consumed 55% of my entire charge on its own from whatever it was doing in the background. A bit suspicious. I’d only used the app for a minute. Will be removing. ### 1/5 — Extremely Lame - Better Ones for Free *2016-04-05, version 3.6.4* Saw it advertised on Facebook so I bought it on a whim. Turns out it's one of the few like this which make you buy the same thing for your iPad or your iPhone if you bought it once. Nothing different or particularly well done in presenting scales to you. It's done better in free programs. Save your money, try some of the other programs that don't cheat you for two versions of the same thing and which provide 'lite' versions or are outright free. ### 1/5 — Don't buy. No sound *2015-12-06, version 3.6.2* A music app with no sound. Don't buy. Waste of $. If I could award no stars I would. ### 1/5 — Can't believe this. DO NOT UPDATE PPL *2014-10-27, version 3.5.0* Right after I updated this app. It immediately crashes. Fix it please!!! ### 1/5 — Doesn't work crashes *2014-10-21, version 3.5.0* " ### 1/5 — New update does not operate *2014-10-21, version 3.5.0* I recently updated star scales for iOS 8 and the application will open but then immediately redirect me to the home screen. The application is open, if I double click the home button and select star scales it will then, again, immediately redirect me to the home screen. Please fix this! ### 1/5 — Чмище *2012-01-19* Что за хуетаааа ### 2/5 — S/W *2021-02-09* 09.02.2021 (iPhone 11 pro Max / iOS 14.4) Die App an sich scheint sehr gut zu sein. Möchte ich allerdings die Pentatonic ausdrucken oder als Bild speichern, geschieht dies generell nur in schwarz-weiß. Sehr schade, zumal laut Hilfebeschreibung Ausdruck und speichern auch in Farbe möglich sein soll. Daher scheint es wohl ein Bugfix zu sein. Bitte beheben, dann kann ich auch fünf Sterne vergeben. **Developer response:** Dear Hubble63 sharing is only possible in Black & White - it is a mistake in the help Thank You for understanding best regards, Zoltan ### 2/5 — Wrong positions *2018-01-08, version 3.6.6* Good, almost... the scale positions are wrong. Scale pattern 1 is actually pattern 5, every pattern is off like that. why? If you want to reinvent things, whatever, at least give the settings option to label it conventionally. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Useful tool to have around *2026-08-07, version 3.8.2* Nicely laid out app that contains nearly everything I’ve ever need to look up. ### 5/5 — Great App *2023-07-06, version 3.8.2* This is probably the best App that I have used thus far. I’m going to give it five stars, but the “tap a star to Rate” will not work when I Tap it? I would like to know if you will be coming out with a MacBook Pro version any time soon? Also, once I purchase the App, can I send it to my other devices for free or do I have to purchase it all over again? Keep up the good work, thank you guys!! ### 5/5 — Great app *2023-04-16, version 3.8.2* This is my go-to for learning scales ### 5/5 — Needs drop tunings *2021-11-24, version 3.8.2* Needs the drop tunings too ### 5/5 — Tghj *2021-01-31, version 3.8.1* Be think ### 5/5 — Much good use *2019-05-13, version 3.6.6* An invaluable asset to any and all musicians. Thanks. ### 5/5 — Verdadeiramente útil *2019-01-16* O aplicativo funciona muito bem e de fácil manuseio ### 5/5 — I like this app but... *2017-02-10, version 3.6.4* Could you update it so it fits the iPad screen, the screen looks really weird on iPad Air 2 😔 I still use this app. ### 5/5 — Brilliant tool! *2016-04-16, version 3.6.4* I really enjoy using this app, it's a must have for any guitar students. My only small issue is that there isn't a setting for drop tunings. Great tool for guitar tuition overall. Thank you and Keep up the good work! ### 5/5 — Well executed app *2016-04-08, version 3.6.4* I have paid once for the app and have it on my iPad and iPhone. I purchased on my iPhone. It is confusing but to add to iPad you need to go to purchased apps screen and select not on iPad. On the next screen you will see the app with the little cloud/down arrow icon. Tap boom installs. Would like a setting to disable screen shutdown while using the app. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
