Thanks for the update!

Underrated app! Thanks for the ‘fix’ to the more standard swipe direction, it feels much more natural. Such a great tool for learning/teaching 🤘🏻

Great app

Plays all tef files flawlessly. Can change tempo for learning

Free??

Amazing we live in a world where people give wonderful arrangements out for the love of music. Thank you! <3

Brilliant for MIDI to Notation

I have had this app for many many years and I have only just started using it, I can mixdown a single MIDI track and save it into the TEFview folder in Files all in around 1 minute, fantastic for learning new parts quickly. Definitely worth 10 stars in my opinion.

The Answer

It does it all and it does it simply, easily and well. May take a minute to get used to the hot keys but from there this has been my greatest tool for the comprehension of what I am actually doing. Filling in the gaps of the theory and actualizing those theories together. This app is super appreciated and far too underrated.

Thank you for all the hard work so it could be easy for the rest of us.
