Please fix! *2025-04-18* Crashes at every opening ### 1/5 — Needs in-app instructions. *2020-01-30, version 3.0* This looks interesting but I can’t figure out how it works. There is a reference to a “store” but how do I get there and what is there to buy? Crashes every time I tap the write icon. What is that supposed to do? How to I get to the minor pentatonic scale? There is a start here to something interesting. Now go back and finish it. ### 1/5 — Was this app developped as a grade 1 summer school project? *2019-01-08, version 3.0* Useless ### 1/5 — Fix please- won't launch *2014-06-08, version 2.1* Looks really useful but always crashes. Please fix this. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2014-05-18, version 2.1* The first time I download this, it doesn't even open...all it does is crash which means it needs to be fixed ### 1/5 — Crashes on iphone 5s *2014-04-03* Deleting now. ### 1/5 — Won't load, pretty hopeless *2014-03-25, version 2.1* Used to work now doesn't. Apple needs a mechanism to remove apps like this, what is the point in having it available. Damages reputation of the App Store. No stars but has to have at least one to post review... ### 1/5 — No stars - useless - won't start *2014-03-16, version 2.1* App crashes every time it is asked to open. Apple is this a bona fide app? It is so bad I am concerned that it has even been loaded on to my iPad. Having said this, the concept promised is great and if it worked, I would consider paying money for this app. ### 1/5 — crashes when launched *2014-02-06* i loved this app. it totally worked at first. now it crashes when launched. not sure if this is incompatibility with iOS 7 or??? what a shame. ### 1/5 — Don't bother *2014-01-12, version 2.1* App crashes EVERY TIME would not load up so deleted ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Works with OS 8 *2014-12-05* This is working fine with the latest OS for iPhone 4S. Thank you. ### 4/5 — Transruler *2012-08-23* I find this app useful to understand the relationship between scales and to memorize how the chords are constructed from them. The scale editor is simple to deal with and for me it was useful to manually add chords to my library. The cloud update between ipad and iphone works well. I couldn't find a Restore purchases button, so you have to blindly trust that the buy button will not charge you 2 times (it didn't). I would give it 5 stars IF: 1) the top and bottom scales could be overlapped in the same guitar fretboard (now you have them separated one at the top and one at the bottom); 2) if the scale note numbers could be presented not only as I-II-III-IV..., but based on their relation to the major scale intervals (i.e. 1-b3-5-b7-...). ### 3/5 — Great...... when it works. *2014-03-18, version 2.1* Like all other reviewers I had trouble launching this app, but actually it works brilliantly on my old iPhone and its great. Not updating this app to ios7 is a serious oversight as i would willingly pay for this to work on an Ipad. Original review follows. Won't start up. Crashes every launch. ### 2/5 — Useful, but . . . *2012-12-14* . . . It'd be far better for transposing were the Roman scale intervals on the middle band with the note scales on the sliding top and bottom bands. That way they all three line up together vertically. I made a slide-rule-type transposer like that--it's far easier to read without errors. ### 2/5 — Free has to entice. *2012-12-07* Unable to get touch screen to respond well. Finger gestures sends the program into aux features. I suspect that your compatability with the ad strip is causing conflicts... --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
