BAS

Great app. Easy to
Understand instructions and the exercises are outstanding. I can’t believe how much I have learnt in a month even though I am take very slowly. Very helpful and fun.

Amazing, but I need a thing

Your app is incredibly useful, very simple and clear. I liked a lot the way it pushed me to practice and revise and do it fast. But why this app is not in Google play, I swear there were 4-5 people to who I advised to buy this app but they didn’t have Iphones and they couldn’t. There is literally no analogy in PlayMarket. Please do it and I will be able to give this app to my students

Easiest way to learn

This is a fantastic way to learn music theory. I have attempted learning theory in the past but it didn’t stick. Staying on top of what you have learned with daily exercises is finally causing the information to stick and I can recall it easily when I need it. Use the app and put the work in. It actually works.

Peak app

Extremely useful

This is the most useful theory app I’ve used, functional theory to help you connect the dots and understand scales, chords and keys

Great way to explore 🎼theory. Helps beyond measure 🤣

Great tutorials, fun and challenging practice exercises, ways to track your progress, this is an exceptional app. The developers really thought this through. I’m super impressed at music theory content.

Violin player

Love program, I learned it all over the world. When ever I had spare time I would continue with the program. I also kept notes as well, so I could look back quickly, if I got stuck.

Theory Simplified and Exercises Abundant

I tried to teach myself music theory a couple years back through YouTube tutorials and other free online resources, but didn’t get very far. All that to say, I wasn’t very optimistic downloading another app, but thought it’d give it a try.

I sure am glad I did! On the Waay app, the theory is explained, and there are computer generated exercises to memorize the various applications of each concept once you learn it. It has helped me increase my rate of learning guitar by tenfold.

The trial is free and the relatively low price tag for a monthly subscription can be cancelled anytime, once I get to the place I want to be.

Thanks Waay!

The Best

Best app I’ve ever used. Simple great explanations. Very thorough. Recommend to anyone.

This app really does work

I’ve tried studying music theory, I’ve purchased college textbooks. This has all the information the college textbook has, except for it has little activities you can do over and over again to really learn music theory. It has the same information as a college course would have really good at teaching you and much cheaper than college.

Sounds?

I was surprised that the notes in the early exercises don’t play sounds. Wouldn’t it be helpful to start to hear these patterns as well as see them? Seems like an obvious and easy fix. Maybe I just missed something.

Old dog can learn new tricks!

So I have played the drums since I was 12 years old but never learned any proper music theory. And yet, I’ve been pounding away at a piano for most of my life without any foundational music theory knowledge. This app is really talking my language and helping me understand my way around these concepts that have weirdly intimidated me my whole life. Thank you for helping me understand music better! I can’t wait to continue learning more.

Intuitive, fun and informative!

I use Waay on my commute and found it really helpful in developing my theory knowledge. I’ve played sax for a while, mainly using sheet music. Waay put theory in approachable language and then helped me use them for song writing and jamming.

Thanks Waay!

Excellent app!

I’ve been running into walls in learning this kind of music theory for DECADES. This app has made it make sense to me and provides the practice exercises I’ve been looking for. Thank you!!

No free content

I downloaded Waay to see what it’s like before committing to pay the quite expensive subscription fee. Unfortunately there isn’t a single content lesson (there is a “welcome lesson” that says hello) where you can view what the actual design and formatting of the learning looks like. In music the mode of instruction is really important so I was hoping that I could at least get a sense of that before committing quite a high subscription fee. Waay might be a good app- but it’s not transparent and I’m always suspicious of places that want your money but don’t show you what you are buying ahead of time. Please just add some example lessons at a couple of different levels!

Is it cheating to use your notes for the quiz?

Genuinely very good

I was skeptical of the reviews because they’re all super positive but I get why. Great app, simple, effective, easy to use, and makes theory very clear. I don’t work there and I’m not a bot, I just want to support the developer for making such a good app with such an extensive free version!

Too expensive

Content is nice, if not a bit dry. Subscription is waay too expensive though. I’d subscribe if it was a bit more reasonable.

Game-changer for songwriting, worth it

TL;DR: I am always hesitant to subscribe to anything, but this is well-worth the cost.

Up until now, my music theory education has been sparse and patchy (and also ended 29 years ago). When I picked up guitar and songwriting, I tried a few different apps to work through music theory. Gave myself a headache laboriously counting leger lines, and visualising piano keys against frets to count through scales. It took so long to figure anything out.

Waay is amazing. It is structured for songwriters and it has quick and easy drills to help you internalise the lessons without having to memorise anything. It makes it so much faster to figure out key and structure.

It’s clear how much planning, work and design has gone into this program. I’m looking forward to the next installment, and can’t recommend Waay highly enough.

Incredible music learning tool

I’ve used so many apps and programs to try to learn music theory and this changed everything for me. The lessons are clear and concise and enjoyable. The developer Alex has a great calming voice. The practice tools are incredibly useful and helpful. This is the perfect tool for songwriters who want to understand the foundation of music theory without any of the extra fluff that you don’t really need. There is so much content in here and the best part is it not a monthly subscription. I personally wrote to the developer and asked for more content even and that I would gladly pay more money for it.
