1. 5/5One of the best useful apps ever!

   For learning piano this app is indispensable and well worth the $4.99 to have it all. As a visual learner you can quickly see the patterns and make sense of the use of fingering, especially with scales. I can even practice memorizing scales when away from an actual piano. Plus you have everything you need on the screen - if you want to know the musical notation but also want to see where it is on the piano keyboard its all there - plus you can play it back. When practicing scales you can choose whether it's the notes or the finger numbers that appear on keyboard. You would have to spend at least $35 to find a paperback chord book that still wouldn't contain all of this without it being too large of a book. Bravo to the team that took the time to develop this app - thanks for that!!! Edition: I keep discovering new features on this app and I’m so grateful for it! In particular I’ve been utilizing the flashcards, quizzes and what not that are teaching me how to recognize and name all kinds of chord shapes, either by pattern on piano or musical notation!

2. 5/5Fantastic addition to any DAW

   There are a number of apps that allow you to create chord progressions, but not as efficiently and quickly as this app. The interface is slick and wastes no space with extra unnecessary features. Adding a colorful chord within a specified key is one to two taps away. The ability to create chord progressions, set the length of each chord, and export to midi, straight into a folder that can opened in either a mobile or desktop DAW makes this an invaluable addition to any producer’s toolkit. As someone who works primarily on pop music that uses a lot of synthesized sounds, I would much prefer creating chord progressions and patterns on an easy to look at app like this rather than pulling out my computer or manually trying to draw notes into the screen of a mobile daw. I can’t recommend this app enough as it’s inspired me to go more mobile with my production process. The full version is worth the purchase! Coming from a more rhythmic-centric dance-music perspective, there is one feature that would drastically improve my personal workflow: the ability to repeat a chord of a specified length. Currently, when I add a new chord it automatically is set to be 4 beats. It would be helpful for rhythmic chord creation to be able to, for instance, repeat a 16th note length chord multiple times. In the meantime, I will be using this app to build chord progressions that I can further break up in a daw.

3. 2/5Not fully realized

   The most useful feature of this app is the song composer which lets you pick one chord at a time to build your song. With each chord selected, the app will provide a number of chords to choose from for next step, and this is a great tool. Unfortunately there is a number of issues holding the app back and making it unworthy IMO of the $20 full unlock price which I paid. There’s bugs that effect the interface. For example, the keyboard display that shows the selected chords notes often fails to update as you select different chords. Layout issues where text elements get stacked on top of each other making it illegible. When composing, the app is obsessed with filling a 4 beat measure, leading to prompts that are intended to be helpful but really just inhibit workflow. And sometimes the chord you select is not the chord you get added, forcing you to delete the chord and try a couple times again until the app plays along. None of these are show stoppers, but the biggest disappointment is paying $20 to unlock different scales. After paying the scales become available, but there are no chords within those scales available to build songs. For example, I was excited to build a song using chords from a blues scale or Dorian, paid the $20 and found no chords in the composer available for those scales. From what I can see, there is no additional functionality provided in the composer after paying. $20 does indeed unlock features, but I found those to be basic, obvious and of little value. Certainly not worth $20. So there is a ton of potential in the composer part of the app, but not fully tested and a bit misleading in purchasing expectations. My recommendation is to use the free version until you exhaust its potential, then try another app. As it stands, there is no reason to pay for this app.

4. 5/5Amazing tool!

   This app is phenomenal. I have played piano for nearly 15 years and the large library of scales helped me to be able to improvise melodies and to pick out accurate melody from existing songs within minutes. I can now play many intermediate level songs by ear with only a chord structure after only a few minutes of tinkering on the piano. I could tell within 5 minutes of downloading the app that it was very high quality so I quickly upgraded to the full version, and $7 is nothing for the huge library this offers. If you are just learning the keyboard, practicing theory, ear training, or and advanced musician, this is a great app. I was amazed over and over at how this app took me to the next level of playing within minutes. I do not work for the company, this is a legitimate review. I am a huge skeptic and rarely write reviews. I am truly impressed with this app and will recommend it to my friends and any beginning musician. Well worth the up graded price.

5. 5/5Excellent learning tool!

   I almost never write reviews, but I am learning piano and I could not imagine doing so without this app. I am not a complete beginner in music, been playing guitar for 20+ years, but keys were always appealing. I have always been a “by ear” musician. With this app, I can mess around and find something that sounds good on my keyboard, and the interface allows me to find the scale or chord I am playing in seconds. I’m making more connections with actual music theory in a few months, than I have in my whole lifetime playing guitar. This app makes it easy. You get a robust feature set in the free version, so much so, that as a beginner, I haven’t had much need for the rest, but I plan to purchase the full version anyway, because you just can’t help but support the developers of such a useful tool.
