★★★★★I'm a music teacher with 25+ years exp
I LOVE THIS APP and I encourage every student I teach to buy it. Even the non guitarists! Every musician should have a working knowledge of modes and this app is concise, linear, and very well done. Is it a complete fix for everything? Of course not but it is a fantastic starting point to get your students to start listening for chord changes. Before you run, you crawl. I'm looking forward to more keys in the future.
★★★★★Modal Buddy
I think they really did a great job creating this app. The theory was explained in a very simplified way. I usually don't have time to studying music theory, but I did read through every section in the "Learn" part of the app. I am also spending a lot of time practicing with their backing tracks using the"Practice" feature. I actually think I'm becoming a better guitarist. All in all I would recommend this app to everyone.
★★★★★Refreshing my studies
I like the app it makes me think again & is helping with improvising solos.Just wish it would rotate to horizontal on my iPad.Looking forward to the updates.Thanks again for hard work & asking for my input.Michael
★★★★☆Great learning tool!
Highly recommended. It's helping me out a lot. However I'd love to see more than one jam track per mode and more than just having the modes in G.
★★★☆☆Decent, but overpriced
The backing tracks and the modal diagrams are helpful, don't get me wrong - but what you're really paying for is the time you'd spend finding them for free online. This is a $2 app, and even that is pushing it. Don't buy this app at full price. If I could go back and smack my past self before hitting "buy" I definitely would. Otherwise, it's a solid introduction to modal theory and I've found it helpful for identifying and fixing places where I need to improve.
