    Versatile but lacking some practical tools
    1. Needs in-app manual or at least on-demand wizards 2. Needs way to save notes, chords and progressions you play and to output this as midi file 3. Would also be nice to output midi from within app Aside from that, get ready for a voyage of discovery. Show more

    Love the new update
    Glad to be able to use this app again. If you can make an option to have dictionary mode play individual note sounds as we touch/add them that would be handy. Thanks! Show more

    Hooray!!
    I can now upgrade to IOS 11. Was avoiding doing that solely for this app!
  • Coolwatercorey, 30.03.2018
    Even Better sheesh!
    I was so upset when I updated to iOS 11 and couldn’t use this app. :( I was wondering what the heck is taking them so long to update??, My apologies... I’m not even mad anymore. they were simply making things even better. Bravo Team! Freakin Bravo! Show more

    Awesome! Great if interested music theory
    Sound is working just fine people! Not sure why the review says that. EXCELLENT APP exactly what anyone who knows music theory would want if learning piano. Very few people don't learn both together so this app was perfect for me. If you don't already know music theory this app might not help you but if you know it or are learning it you really couldn't ask for much more. I plug in my MIDI iRig iPhone keyboard and chord away! If you want an app that stays out of the way but isn't missing any detail this is it. Show more

    Fix sound.
    Not as useful without sound. Please fix. Should of had read the comments before paying 2.99 for it.

    iOS 7 no sound
    Really loved this app, but sound is broken with iOS7, can't wait for an update. Thanks for your awesome app, it's brought me a lot of inspiration!

    Works fine in iOS 6.1
    As another reviewer wrote, it's "encyclopedic". I certainly have not tried everything, but so far it's an excellent reference tool. Working fine for me in iOS 6.1. I also found the developer to be very responsive. The UI could probably use refinement, but it gets the job done. The About and Help being tucked behind the Scale/Progression/Dictionary button was not obvious, but I found them. For $3 it's a dynamic reference tool for all but the most accomplished music scholar.

    Not functioning in iOS6
    Was a great teaching aide app until most recent OS update. Now, no auto play of sound, rendering it almost useless. Very disappointing; sure wish app companies would keep up. Too often, they're just teases. Show more

    This App is Incredible
    Very Encyclopedic. Whatever I am looking for, Octavian is always there with answers.

    Great aid for a beginner at piano
    This app was just what I was looking for. An amazingly thorough guide to harmony.
  • Astromariner, 28.03.2012
    Excellent composition and ear training aid
    Adding a scratch pad with export and favorites would make 5 stars.
  • Superunderdog, 14.09.2011
    Now playsback?
    4th gen iPod (v4.3.5). Does not auto playback or touch keyboard playback. Very disappointed! Update: Why it started working? I don't know but it is now working. Hope it continues because it seems to be a great program. Show more

    New Interface is Awesome
    This is an extremely useful app that had always performed flawlessly. Past versions were a bit difficult to use because the controls were too small, but today's update contains a great redesign of the interface. I hope the developer responds with quicker updates in the future. Show more

    Not functional, support requests returned as mail demon!
    I'm very disappointed with this purchase. It is faulty right upon opening, and won't even display the full width text pages in the PDF manual. My support request to the developer website was returned as a mail demon... Where was the quality control at the app store? This is half-baked, pre-release, trial version stuff..and should not be charged for! It's a $3.00 scam. GT Show more

    Worth it!
    Never do I ever write a review, but I have bought many apps trying to find exactly what this one does!! I have studied at nocca in new Orleans and lost many of these scales that were written out like this in Katrina , I am so thankful I have found this app!!! This is the type of stuff every musician should be shedding on!! Thanks Octavia !! Show more
  • voline, 02.03.2011
    excellent update.
    Octavian continues to add useful new features. The interface tweaks like keys highlighting as they sound improve clarity. I appreciate being able to play scales both up and down. Five hundred new scales? That must have been a lot of work to add. Well done Bitnotic. Show more

    Perfectly concise!
    This will replace a few apps on my phone, and puts exactly what I want at my finger tips. Thank you!
