### 5/5 — Great app!

*2012-01-20*

Amazing app! I don't know what I did without it.

### 1/5 — Don't buy it for scales

*2016-09-22*

Bought it because the free scales apps are hard to interpret and the interface here looked good. Picked a g major and an e minor and it showed me the same scale. Two thumbs down Siskel

### 3/5 — Root notes aren’t highlighted

*2019-03-13*

This would be a great app if the root notes on scales were indicated with a different color. I’ve never seen scale charts where they aren’t. Can you add that in an update?

### 3/5 — Pretty Good

*2014-08-23*

Not a bad app. Nice design. Not sure why open strings aren't signified though.

### 4/5 — Good but

*2013-01-09*

I really like this app, but, it says that Amin is on the 10th fret and it is not it is on the 9th fret you need to check some of the chords and fix them.

### 5/5 — Simple but does the job

*2016-10-03*

Is the review complaining about scales a joke? Em and G *are* the same scale; same notes, just different starting points.

Anyway, the app is nothing fancy but it does exactly what it says without bugs or annoying trendy UX. For $2, it beats flipping through a book or website.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2012-06-19*

Simple, nicely laid out with good graphics. Exactly what I was looking for.  Only thing missing is several more versions for other instruments.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2012-06-17*

It really is ;)

### 5/5 — Good looking app

I don't play the mandolin, but this app is pretty attractive.

### 5/5 — This just got me laid

Wish that this existed for my other instruments, like banjo
