I just randomly came across this by downloading synthesizers. It’s like jumping into an audio history book of ancient tones mixed with the future tones. In my opinion, I think this app is outstanding, but if I had three wishes, this app would be absolutely perfect if: One, I wish there was a way to draw up our own geometric shapes to see what tone they create. Two, I wish we could type in the specific number frequency in the customize section. For example, having middle C be at 267.45. And lastly, three, I wish there was a way we can play the notes with our midi keyboard. I know there’s a way to transfer the scale and frequency to the D1 or Synth One synthesizers, but I love the tone of the bell in this app. If this app has those 3 other details, I wish I could rate this 10 stars lol. Please consider adding these features. ### 5/5 — Unbearably beautiful UI *2020-05-16, version 1.8.5* This software has an amazing user interface, presenting wha could otherwise be quite tough to follow. ### 5/5 — Works with AudioKit Synths! *2019-01-10, version 1.8.1* The update to Wilsonic allows you to add your favorite scales to either of the AudioKit synths which greatly expands the usefulness of the app. In addition there are apps like Gestrument Pro which can import Wilsonic scales directly into them and can be used to play a multitude of iOS or hardware synths. This is a great app for exploring Wilson's scale work. Add this to an IAA or Audiobus chain to inject new life into your tracks and go beyond the traditional 12 tone western scale. Export favorite scales into ScaleGen to play synths via MIDI. There are also a multitude of Indian scales. ### 5/5 — wow *2018-09-10, version 1.7.91* Profound knowledge behind this app. amazing ### 5/5 — Very Cool *2018-08-24, version 1.7.91* An interesting and unique way of looking at music. The graphics are well done and are completely user-friendly. ### 5/5 — I like it *2018-07-06, version 1.7.91* The app functions very well. Several of the features make it very easy to play music in just intonation by making it much easier to visualize just relationships than on a tempered keyboard, where you have to remember what ratio you tuned each interval to (although I'm used to that). I love being able to play compositions I wrote in JI without the intervals being completely out-of-tune and homogenized to one of only 12 irrational intervals. This app is mostly designed to demonstrate musical concepts that Erv Wilson studied, but it ended being a helpful tool for sampling music in just intonation as well. ### 5/5 — Wow!!!!! *2018-07-02, version 1.7.91* Just discovered this app am blown away. Needs a manual and an introduction. But wow what beautiful fun. ### 5/5 — Yes! Yes! YEESSS! *2018-05-13, version 1.7.91* Please up the connective properties of Wilsonic. Please do an IAP for an AU feature to use with a DAW or at minimum IAA or Midi out/in. Wilsonic is amazing! Thank you! ### 5/5 — Opens up new horizons for music *2018-02-19, version 1.7.91* thank you for this. I'm glad I don't have to break the bank on a microtonal keyboard to make this great music ### 5/5 — An iOS microtonal gem! *2017-11-26, version 1.7.91* I love Wilsonic! So inspiring for writing little tunes for later insertion into Logic. Please keep adding scales and keep up the joyous work! ### 5/5 — Fantastic app *2017-08-02, version 1.7.91* Really easy to use and engages users really well with micro tuning techniques. Its great that one can design and export/email Scala files too. Top! ### 5/5 — Very creative application! *2017-07-13, version 1.7.91* I have spent hours exploring the unique scales and love it! ### 5/5 — Unreal *2017-02-02, version 1.7.8* Heard this on kpfk here in LA and decided I must have it! I've always been curious about microtonal music and found this app incredibly helpful and fun to use! ### 5/5 — Gateway to the future of music! *2016-05-14, version 1.7.3* This is a truly incredible app for anyone interested in the future of music. Lifetimes of creative possibilities contained within! ### 5/5 — inspiring *2016-04-06, version 1.7.3* this thing is so fresh sounding,would become extremely useful if it sent midi!! thanks,outstanding work ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Guess it needs update *2022-11-25, version 1.8.5* I get null errors. Also the export options are all greyed out. ### 3/5 — Crash on edit *2021-01-11, version 1.8.5* Cool app but changing note number values crashes the app. Thanks and hope you can fix ### 4/5 — This app is so good but there is some issues. *2023-04-12, version 1.8.5* For some reason, this app keeps freezing when i put some notes on 0 and 1. and the sensytivity of the keys is kinda off. And i only wish this had MIDI Input. Imagine If you used MIDI On willsonic. That would be amazing ### 4/5 — So cool but notes hang *2019-06-03, version 1.8.5* They hang when you play the keyboard. Hanging notes on keyboard please fix ### 4/5 — Wonderful...but *2017-10-08, version 1.7.91* Any chance you could add basic midi key mapping? That would make it a playable instrument. It would raise it to another level. Thank you very much ### 4/5 — very great however, no MIDI *2015-12-07, version 1.6* how can this not have MIDI out? It pains me. MIDI would free this app to become an extremely useful musical composition tool and instrument. ### 4/5 — A thing of beauty *2015-05-08, version 1.4* This is clearly a labor of love and it's great to see more microtonal apps cropping up these days. I really love how Wilson's drawings have been rendered into incredibly playable musical instruments. The ability to add one's own values and create custom scales as scala files is pretty sweet as well. The addition of MIDI would transform this wonderful app into a powerful tool and one that I would use often as a playing surface. These scales become quite unwieldy when attempting to play them with a standard keyboard. I'll reserve that fifth star for midi implementation. If midi isn't in the offing, then perhaps a better synth engine in order to play with timbre and adjust envelopes. The three waveforms provided aren't terrible, but certainly could be improved upon and expanded. As it stands, this is an invaluable tool for anyone with an interest in micro tonality and Just Intonation. Don't hesitate - Get it! ### 5/5 — Scale, hexany, everything you need *2025-07-08, version 1.8.5* Inter-App Audio and super easy to use (no midi tho) ### 5/5 — Thank you! *2025-03-26, version 1.8.5* I love Wilsonic. Such a positive way of expanding the scope and depth with understanding the larger cosmology of music theory. Music and Math are revealed well in your logical layout of interface. ### 5/5 — Please do v1.8.6 *2024-11-11, version 1.8.5* I want a heptagon octagon nonagon decagon and more shapes! ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Phenomenal! *2023-09-08, version 1.8.5* Unlike any other mobile app on the market. A brilliant addition to the exploration of new original music. ### 5/5 — How do I connect to SynthOne? *2023-02-14, version 1.8.5* I have both installed but hitting the "TuneUp" button doesn't seem to do anything. Anyhow, it's nice for what it is! ### 5/5 — Love it! This combined with a basic sampler could be heaven *2022-04-21, version 1.8.5* An ability to play a simple wine glass sample with these scales could be total heaven! Either the ability to create a one shot sample within Wilsonic, or the ability to export these scales to an app like Koala Sampler would take Wilsonic from a 5/5 to an 11/5 rating! ### 5/5 — So dope *2022-01-30, version 1.8.5* Phenomenal app, just wish the keys were a bit bigger or adjustable in height ### 5/5 — Wow *2021-08-21, version 1.8.5* As someone who has learned a lot about theory in the past, I'm confused by a lot of this. However, It's very easy to use. It didn't take long to understand that the notes are spaced out in a series depending on the mode selected on the top left portion of the screen. The layout could stand to be a little more visually compelling, but it's self explanatory as far as playing a note goes. Some of the text is too small to be read. It would be nice if there was information about each of the different modes, whether that be the historical context, some sort of description explaining the structure, or something else to help a user wrap their minds around what exactly is going on here. I can tell by my ear that a lot of these structures are distinguishable from the 12 tone series, but it would be nice to know how they're different and what I could do to replicate some of these scales outside the app. ### 5/5 — Great tool for music! *2021-04-15, version 1.8.5* My one wish/suggestion would be that it can be used with my synths and pianos. It would be interesting to check out other frequency possibilities using this app and other piano apps. ### 5/5 — Interesting Weirdness Available *2021-04-05, version 1.8.5* Love the integration with the fantastic Audiokit apps. Thank you Mr Wilson for being bothered to map these out. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
