You need this app if you play or write music.

I have no idea what is going on here. No explications of how to use the information. Developer provided me with helpful instructions so I upgraded my review. Learning music theory with no background is challenging. Show more

Btw, if the AUV3 version of this app don’t show up in AUM, just delete Tonality and reinstall and it should appear.

This is a great app and totally worth the money. On sale it’s a steal. One of the most used apps I own because of the several AU’s packed inside and the wealth of knowledge included. It’s Been updated and improved so many times . It’s very versatile and packed with tons of features. One of the best iOS music apps I own. No joke. Developer is very responsive as well. 10 Stars.

Well… It’s just got a certain look about it and I’m not saying it was my first thought but like a pal looked at my phone and it was like immediately jumping out to them, “is that a b…” and then it was like impossible to not see. Maybe it’s just me but yeah - otherwise this app is immensely helpful and worth the price. Bravo to the developers and “wink” to the graphics folks Show more

Love this app! Got so many well crafted features! The chord pad is my favorite. Allows me to quickly put together a progression by to jam over with

Couldn't agree more. Anyone that is serious about learning to play a variety of musical instruments can be assured that there is clear numerous streamlined benefits included with being able to utilize something with this simple, clean, intuitive, and user friendly of a layout. Honestly probably haven't been interested in a paid-for app for a few years now, But... when I saw this one.... "I never downloaded an app so fast in my life" XD Show more

I was looking for a midi-mappable velocity sensitive chord trigger and I found one wrapped in an interactive musical encyclopedia I didn’t know I needed.

Wanted to update my review. Previously, as a Garageband user, I didn’t feel I could get a lot out of the app. I appreciated it for what it could do, it just couldn’t do much for me. Now, I feel like I have access to an infinite midi pack. :) While the learning curve is still a little over my head, being able to hear audio from the app via Soundfonts is a game changer for me and the midi export means I can create a progression using chords that SOUND like I want and bring those into Garageband. I’m probably not making full use of the app as I don’t use AUM and I don’t perform, but I just created my first beat in Garageband using chords from the app and I’m happy! Show more

I have many guitar, piano and theory books and apps. This one covers much of the material in a single app making it easy to look up information without having to dig through references. I highly recommend any guitarist or pianist to consider getting this app as well as bedroom producers without deep music theory chops. It will help you learn. The UI is nicely laid out as well, looks great on my iPad. Show more

Out of all of the thousands of books, online tutorials, paid PDFs, cheat sheets, chord posters, etc, nothing has managed to package as much useful information, as concisely, as this app. From scales, to the circle of fifths, to tools like reverse guitar chord look up, this app is packed! Coming from piano and learning guitar, as well as my taking my music theory understanding more seriously, this app has been an invaluable tool in my learning experience. Couple this quality app and musically understanding with a proactive and passionate developer makes it all the better. Every time I think of a suggestion there’s already a setting for it in some menu. Bugs don’t stay around long and new features and tweaks come often. With ear training, I am given one less excuse to not practice music before bed, even if I can’t be bothered to get up and sit with my instrument. Overall, I can highly recommend this app. Considering one crappy music theory pdf from your favorite YouTube instructor is almost always $20, this app is a steal. Take your time, it can be overwhelming, but honestly music is overwhelming so that just makes sense. Ps, if you think it’s good on iPhone, try it on iPad. Show more

This app does it all! It’s worth more than it cost. The developer listens to advice and ideas and executes them to continue improving this wonderful tool. I use it in BeatMaker 3, Cubasis 3, AUM, and on my phone to write chord ideas and store them. Don’t no how to play…no problem….it’s super intuitive workflow is easy to get use too. I start ideas on this app and then use it to lay-down chords. The chord pad feature is spectacular. You can custom the colors and the editing of chords is a breeze. From standard to inverted it can do them all. Save custom chords too. Want to know what chord your playing? It can detect that. Need help with Circle of Fifths? Gotcha! Unbelievable!!!!!! Show more

Seeing how I got this app early on, the transformations it has gone through and the ingenuity in those transformations really has me impressed. All without losing focus of its main functions! Does what it says. Has a few AU devices which is wonderful. I love the clipboard. Main feature request: wish strummer had an omnichord type function where it can be set to do a range of octaves of a chord rather than just one. Would open a lot of potential for effortlessly doing inversions etc. Long shot feature request: have the ability to play back sequences of chords as progressions, with some progressions already available to select. Of course, this is way beyond the primary scope of this app haha Anyway, yes, I have feature requests. But this app is already complete. It’s just learning more tricks ?. That’s why it’s a no-brainer 5 out of 5 stars. Thank you for the time you’ve put into making this! Show more

Amazing amazing amazing!!! Can’t say enough good things about this. Not only is this a writing and learning tool it is also an instrument.

This app fits perfectly into a few of my workflows. Keep it open on my phone next to the keyboard when I’m writing songs; the chord ID is so useful! I’m a guitar player but have been enjoying trying to write on piano. Often will accidentally stumble on a few keys that sound nice together and now I can get the name of the chord and if it’s 7th, sus, add 4...etc along with variation or inversions and a very straightforward diagram showing the combination of keys to play for each. It’s already helped so many times. And all has been a bonus, something I didn’t even know I needed. The main features I bought it for were chord pads I can customize and use in AUM and all the music theory info is right there so I can learn what I’m doing and experiment without stopping the jam. Lots more but I’m still learning what this app can do. The Developer seems to keep adding features to make MIDI setup smooth which shows me he’s got his finger on the pulse and this will be an app that continues to be excellent! Show more

What can I say. This app is really good, in my book the best. I have Suggester, chord poly pad, ultimate circle of fifths and more, almost any app that deals with music theory but this one beats all of them. It is really that good. Not that the others are not good but this one is by far the best. The developer reads all our suggestions to improve the app. Check the audiobus forum so can read more about it Show more

I use this primarily for chord pads. Which works pretty good but please add. - sustain hold i often want chords held an indefinite amount of time as they are triggering arps and long pads. - there is no octave up or down per chord. Or easy invert. - i cant trigger the pads from an external midi keyboard ie atom piano roll inside aum really handy to rearrange chord changes just by using single notes - please have presets full of chords - i think the done button should be on the same page as chord selection in addition to the edit chord window. Itd be a lot faster to dial up a bunch of chords. Thanks! Show more

This app is amazing. I bought it for the AU chord detection, but the developer just keeps on adding new features. It's now a fantastic chord and scale reference that includes both keys and stringed instruments, a fully customizable AU chord pad tool for triggering chords in other apps, a AU grand staff viewer, an interactive Circle of Fifths reference that is super useful for experimenting with different chord progressions, and even an ear trainer! This is one of the most versatile and useful music apps I own, and the developer is very active and responsive on the Audiobus forums. Super easy recommendation. Show more

Update: Wow, that update was fast! ?? —- I didn’t even get through their list of features before I bought it! This is going on both my iPad and my iPhone. My only complaint is that the sound fonts sound cheesy but that’s what I got it for. The acoustic piano sound font could be better. Show more

I love this app! Its organization makes it super easy to find chords/scales, especially with reverse searches. The chord identification is especially cool (basically you can play chords and the app will identify them). I loved making some of my own chords and I love the graphics. 10/10 would recommend.
