## What is SWIFTSCALES Vocal Trainer?

SWIFTSCALES was created by singers, for singers, and is the first app to simulate sitting at the piano with a vocal coach. Unlike other apps & audio lessons, SWIFTSCALES moves with you, as high or low, fast or slow as needed. You control every session in real time or passively, the only limits being the 88 keys of the piano and your imagination. No musical knowledge required! In fact, vocal coaches themselves can use SWIFTSCALES on the go to train and warm up students with exercises they already teach thanks to the app's endless flexibility, customization, and cloud sharing capabilities.

### 1/5 — Junk

*2026-01-20, version 3.0.0*

Buried in ads, trapped in “you’re on MUTE!” I’m not on mute, y’all. Never worked once. Deleted.

### 5/5 — You may need new phone

*2025-09-23, version 3.0.0*

I had it for years and loved the app. Updated a few months ago and it stopped working. Was very sad. Turns out I just needed a new phone, it was too old.

### 5/5 — App Won’t Open

*2025-09-20, version 3.0.0*

Having issues where this beautiful app won’t open. Any possible solutions it just opens black page then crashes?

### 1/5 — Was great when it worked

*2025-09-11, version 3.0.0*

Loved this app until it recently stopped working entirely

### 5/5 — Excellent Training Program

*2025-06-27, version 3.0.0*

I have been using Swift Scales diligently since 2019 and have found it to be very beneficial and highly convenient to train anywhere.

Unfortunately, since the automatic update to version 3.0.0, it is no longer opening on my phone. Each time I attempt to open the app, it immediately crashes. This happens before the splash screen even appears.

MY SPECS:
iPhone X
iOS 16
Swift Scales v3.0.0

Thanks to the team for creating this valuable tool. Hopefully the issue I am experiencing can be troubleshooted effectively and resolved swiftly.

### 4/5 — SwiftScales

*2025-06-18, version 2.3.0*

It’s a good app other than the adds and I love the breathing exercises and that u can costumize the scales great for beiginers 🎼🤪😎 Jesus loves u also google up John 3:16

### 5/5 — I found the free version unusable, but love the paid

*2025-03-03, version 2.3.0*

At four dollars for add free use, don’t waste your time trying to deal with the add one like I did. After just a  day I felt like I got my money’s worth. Unlike another scales app I used, this one goes about as low as most guys can go and way out of my range on the top. With a few months use my range has expanded by almost a whole octave. There are a lot of features I’d like to add, like making it landscape usable, having sustain on the piano sound, adjusting speed as the scales are running, have a hold button to do the same scale over and over, but this wish list doesn’t take away from what value this app has. I use it at least once a day. Probably the best four bucks I’ve ever spent.

### 1/5 — No sound.

*2025-02-12, version 2.3.0*

I downloaded this with the intention of paying for the full version but there is zero sound. I’ve gone through all of the demos, ensured that my phone isn’t accidentally connected to a Bluetooth devise, but it won’t play any sounds.

### 5/5 — Most Useful Singing App

*2024-10-18, version 2.3.0*

This app should be in every would-be singer (and experienced singer’s) toolbox. The free version has it all, but for four bucks you can get rid of the ads and you’ve got your daily practice routine available to you everywhere your phone goes. Excellent. Now if I just had a better voice…

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2024-08-28, version 2.3.0*

Clunky design, plagued with seedy ads, muted/no sound.
