Clustering is a musical practice tool for iOS. It lets you setup a cluster (or any chordal structure) and use it for practice material. By taking the cluster through a series of root movements, you can bring some fun and interesting discoveries into your practicing. I've always found clusters to be very inspiring and challenging. Take an inspiring chord/sound through the cycle of fourths, or chromatically or just repeat it. It's such a great way to enhance your practicing.

These songs in the shop are originally created for use with this app. Currently, the number of songs is small, but we will gradually increase it. * Some MIDI files may not be played well because of too many parts in the file. We assume a midi file contains five to six parts of SATB and accompaniment piano + some more parts. And we recommend MIDI file of format type 1, although you may still use type 0.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Clustering at none against Chorus Lesson's 10. Clustering also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 26.0). Chorus Lesson's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 months) and price ($2.99 vs $5.99). On review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
