Read full descriptionHide full description
Tap the notes to play the drum. There are no wrong notes here. Anyone can play. Even if you have never played music in your life. Or if you've been playing for years and want to explore the scales. 26 SCALES A scale is a set of notes with its own feeling. One is happy. One is dreamy. One is sad and sweet. Tap the arrow to try the next one. There are 26 to explore. A DRUM ON YOUR SCREEN The drum fills your screen. Each scale gives it a new colour. It is lovely to look at. FEELS REAL The notes are warm and ring like bells. Press a few tongues together to make a chord. Tap a ringing note again to make it quiet. Slide your finger up to bend a note. PLAY ANYWHERE No internet needed. No ads. No account. Just open it and play. At the Airport. In bed. In the park. PLAY WITH THE SOUND Turn the dials to add echo, space and shimmer. Each dial has a little picture that moves. Find a sound you love and save it. PIANO, GUITAR AND BASS Open a piano, guitar or bass on the screen. See which keys light up as you play. Then play the same thing on your own instrument. LEARN AS YOU GO Turn on chord mode and see which notes go together. Every scale has a short story. A little tour shows you around the first time. A real instrument in your pocket. Come and play.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Scale Tale at Free against Timbales's $0.99. Timbales's advantage is chart position (#187 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (11.1 vs 16.4). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
