    Great musical tool! Plus two suggestions
    Tonaly has been the perfect tool for me to start messing around with chords. I’m fairly new to music theory but this app makes it really simple and quick to navigate. The UI is really clean and works perfectly. For anyone wondering if the price is worth it, in my opinion absolutely. If you are looking for a quick and easy way to make chord progressions, or a more advanced tool to help you write your song, Tonaly can definitely help! My only two suggestions are an option to have the chords play in different octaves (without auto inversions having to be on). When I want to listen to a higher octave I have to turn on auto inversions, which is a feature I love but I don’t always want to use it. My other suggestions is for the chords outside the current key to still have a Roman numeral to show how they relate to the original key. (For example showing Cm as i, when the project is in a key of C. Or C# showing as bII, at least I think that’s how it would be written. I’m still learning! ? Show more

    Good app, unless you're a ukulele player
    I don't want to hear a guitar when I choose ukulele. COMPLETELY DIFFERENT tone and sound. Thanks. The sooner the better.

    It’s ok
    I think the app would be best for someone who has more experience writing songs, but in that case they probably wouldn’t need an app to memorize there circle of fifths. There are many online tools for the circle of fifths, which is what this app is basically about. If the app was more user friendly, and more beginner based, and had drum tracks and more, it would be worth the 7 dollars, app should be free based on its value. I haven’t used it once. Beginner at songwriting, been playing for a few years, just learning to improvise and write my own songs and sing. Show more

    This is the app for 5 string players/learners
    I searched unsuccessfully to find an app that included 5 string scales, modes, etc. This app is well worth the money. I wish I’d have found it sooner!!

    Nailed it
    This app was designed by someone who is obviously a genius who somehow understands intuitive usability and the needs of a songwriter. It’s mind blowing how great this app is for creating the form of a song. Chord progressions that you can play in different instruments, arrangement, and more. I’m happy to write this review. I am genuinely obsessed with this app and I can’t think of anyway it could be better but perhaps it could add Abelton link support? It’s basically perfect though. I think it’s my new favorite app. It’s useful and fun, It’s a musical secret weapon. If this is over the top it’s because this app has triggered a manic episode and I’m just super excited in general. But it doesn’t mean my rambling is full of bull. Show more
