5/5THE BEST GUITAR APP AVAILABLE
I have been studying and playing guitar for many years. I play blues and other styles and I use many alternate tunings. I have been looking for something like this and am grateful I found it. This app is outstanding for understanding music theory, scales and chords, in any tuning. It allows the user to print out in color all possible scales and chords for any tuning. Even if you only use standard tuning this is a wonderful learning app. I think the developer is a genius for taking such complex data and making it so usable. And the app is free with no additional charges - very unusual. I recommend this for any guitar player no matter the experience level. Thank you Thomas Gunther! Wolfie

5/5Well Designed, Very Useful App
I’ve had this app for a few years now. It’s one of a few apps I use every day. It was useful to me as an absolute beginner, and has become more useful as an early intermediate. I’m using this on an iPad Pro 12.9. It is a ‘horizontal’ only app on iPad, but works in both horizontal positions, so is OK for us left-handers. Would be nice if it worked in all orientations like the iPhone version. Their privacy policy is decent. I’ve been deleting a lot of apps now that Apple requires them to disclose their spyware policies. This app is staying on my device, but I would prefer they gathered no data at all. I have forgotten how much I paid for the app, but whatever it was, I’ve gotten my money’s worth. I’m really glad this is a paid app, and not a subscription, as I never subscribe to any apps.

5/5I like the layout and options
This app does what no other guitar scales app in this app store can do; it displays a full scale, scale position, and chord info at the same time. I love this. I also like that I can orient the fretboards horizontally. Good common sense options and settings available too. That being said, the app cold use a refresh on the look/design. As of writing this, the app has not been updated in a year, a little concerning.

5/5Quite useful
I have used this a lot for learning chords and scales and music theory. Very intuitive - user friendly. Can display by individual patterns across the fretboard or all the patterns at once for the entire fretboard. Can show by intervals, note names, or finger pattern. Currently, I'm learning Mixolydian scale patterns and dominant 7 chords and arpeggio patterns. I'd definitely purchase again cuz it's inexpensive for what you get compared with subscription based apps.

5/5Genius!
This may be the only app that many people may need for practicing scales and arpeggios. Take a couple minutes to learn how it’s laid out and that will convince you. I have several apps for my iPad and Mac for creating scales and fingerboard patterns that overlap in functionality but none compare to this one in terms of functionality and simplicity for learning scales and chords. Kudos to the developer for providing relevant functionality without adding complicating features!
