    Piece of crap
    Doesn’t work. And if there’s something I’m doing wrong there’s nothing to help me. Do not waste your money like I did.

    Great App after I learned how to configure
    I have owned this for a long time, and rely on it to find keys to songs I want to learn to play. The best way to get highly precise readings on this app is to be sure your settings are configured correctly. I recommend going the settings tab and turning off all scales except "major". If you do this, most songs will pop up correctly and stay the same during the entire song. HOWEVER, if you have an ability to hear and recognize minor keys, and you are testing a song that you suspect may be in a minor key - turn off the "major" scale and turn on the "melodic minor" scale and give it a try. Also if you know how to recognize a blues tune, you may get good results from setting the scales to "major and minor pentatonic." If you just turn on all scales, the display is going to show multiple options at any given point during a song. It may also be worth noting that some scales are essentially the same but with a different starting place (ie G major Em) so if you have a bit of music theory to help you you will enjoy the app more.

    Good idea
    App does not work! Tried to use it while playing the piano and it couldn't even find the piano note. Hopefully there is a return policy on the App Store!

    Worthless
    This app is a total fail. It never works - not ever.

    What a great idea
    What a disappointment! Hopefully in a near update this will be fixed to where it actually does what it says it does!

    Good idea, but...
    This app is really great in theory and I was super excited to use it, but it won't open. The app crashes before it even gets to a home screen. $3.00 down the drain :/ Show more

    Not happy with this at all. Wish I'd not wasted my money on it

    A useful tool... a remarkable app.
    Recent improvements have really made this tool very useful. Keep in mind that complex music often includes long segments which are essentially in a different key than the composition is written in. The author has done a very remarkable job with this app. My one suggestion is a display mode more suited to "upside down" portrait mode since the tendency is it point the phone's microphone at the source. A remarkable app. Show more

    What happened!
    I loved the old way that it just quickly displayed the major key. Now I see a bunch of graph lines and I'm trying to read what key by the jumping lines. Bummer. Show more

    Dosen't work very well
    It likes to grab onto whatever chord is playing at the moment rather than listing for a period of time and determining the key. It'll lock in for a few seconds, some times. Show more

    Disappointment
    This app isn't worth $2.39. It's a huge let down. I wish I could get a refund.

    It seems to be a good program however I tested it on my Roland Juno g. Keyboard. And found it is a half step to high in it's results. It is ok even great if you know that whatever results are shown is a half step to high and you adjust for it. I still give it four stars Show more
