13 Positive User Reviews for Scales & Modes

Hello Smappsoft!

Love the app!! I have a suggestion: Can you add in an option to start each scale on a random pitch during the quiz? This would be better aural training since it would keep our mind from having the same tonal memory for two or more scales in a row. Thanks!!

Perfect to memorize scales

This app is awesome. It's perfect for beginners to learn and memorize the notes of violin scales and it's sound.

Useful App, some suggestions for updates

The explanations regarding music theory or easy to understand. I am a guitar player of 12 years that is currently learning the violin. Since there are no frets, playing along with the audio for scales is amazingly helpful. One major improvement that would help: add scales that have 2 and 3 full octaves so that we can utilize the entire range of the music bar and our instrument.

Learn scales for piano and guitar

Heard about this app on the MTJC podcast. Switching from guitar to bass on worship team, and finding that I need to learn scales in order to play something other than root notes. This app is a nice tool for practicing these scales.

It's ok..

The octave should be lower for the sheet notes on guitar. Also, you should be able to switch between showing sharps and flats. I don't like using flats and if say I want to use sharps, my only option is to select the key of E# which doesn't even exist in theory. This scale actually has an F## in it which is a G, why, just why...

Add more scales?

Awesome app! Can you add more scales, like melodic minor? Thanks!

Highly recommended

I'm a casual learner, I work this into my spare time whenever my computer's busy with a rendering task. Given my novice status, this app is simple with a high volume of information - the same as a Big Gag Book of Scales, but phone-sized. The interface is easy to read and condensed. I love this app, and I wish they continued to make it for iPad Pro and iPhone6. Very handy.

Great

I’ve downloaded tons of piano/music theory apps and this is one of my top 3. So simple yet very educational.

Great app for learning modes

This app is a simple yet effective way of learning modes. They have piano and guitar notation for easy playing. The only thing that is annoying is that sometimes the app crashes but hopefully that can get patched up sooner or later.

Cool app I’ve used for years

This is a unique and useful musical app. It has helped a lot In my understanding of the scales and modes.

I really like the app, could you add more scales?

I really like this app, would you be able to add the octatonic scale, and Messiaen‘s modes of limited transposition. Or maybe a feature to create and quiz your own custom scales too. Otherwise, it’s a very helpful app!

This app is overlooked...

I deleted all my other scale apps. The interface is simple & straight forward. The layout is well thought out. I like how this app has info about the scale. I’m happy to say this app hasn’t crashed at all. My only issue with this app is the trivial (different font choice maybe). Hopefully, the developer will add more features. 11/6/20 update: I use this app daily & hope the developer adds more scales. Fantastic app. Easy to use & clean UI.

I regret the purchase

It doesn’t have good instructions, I have no idea what to do. If someone could explain it to me, I’ll give a better rating. Sorry but I don’t like it.
