What else can you expect from an app? I’m not exaggerating. Kudos to the developers for creating an app that helps to deepen my creativity.

I was almost swayed by the negative reviews. I’m glad I wasn’t! Outstanding in every way! This is an amazing musical study tool written by musical geniuses!

Been a while.

I give this two stars because it does have a ton of information that is useful. Or COULD be useful were it not so difficult to use. I am extremely well versed in musical terminology so that’s not the problem. The problem is the interface. It makes absolutely no sense how you get from one page to another. You have to actually study the app in order to study the music. Not worth it to me. Show more

There’s an ungodly amount of great information in this app, but with such a terrible interface, no learning tools, or introductory information to help understanding exactly what you’re looking at, the app can’t be said to be worth the price. Only buy if you have a solid foundation of music theory already held in mind. Show more

Impressive but not very practical, it is a chore to use. At this stage I don’t see the benefit of having an app for things that should probably just be learned in your head. Cool Swiss Army knife though... Show more

I am so excited. These mdecks apps seem to be about the most powerful tools for learning music that I have ever encountered. All for a few bucks. My only regret is that I didn’t have these resources 30 years ago. Show more

Not a very intuitive interface at all. Absolutely watch the tutorial videos.

This app has a lot of potential but in my opinion there are a couple things that make this mostly something that I won't use very much. First, when choosing a scale as a main structure it does not show you all the triads available. You first have to choose what type of triad you are searching for, then it will show you only that triad. It seems like a miss to not see all the minor and major triads listed without going to the browser. Second thing is melodic patterns. There is no option to force chord tones on beat 1, or beats 1&3, etc. this makes patterns sound ambiguous instead of outlining a chord. Show more

I’ve always wanted to make an app to explain music via color and geometry. It’s just so mind numbingly brilliant how music can explain everything in life and this app is a direct interface for the means visualize it Show more

The app provides lots of content, just the interface is clumsy and not intuitive. It feels like a chore to use. For example.. first glance at the guitar neck view and you get the idea. An needed improvement... if the user could customize a workspace ..or create several to guide the scope of what you they want tot work on. For example. Show a scale mode in whatever key and the chord triads that go with it.. Show more

The interface is not very intuitive, but once I watched the tutorial videos, I could finally start to see the tremendous potential this app has as a practice tool. Seems strange that you can only set the screen orientation when you first open the app - it would be nice to be able to switch between portrait/landscape while it is open. As a jazz trombone player, I also wish the range for bass clef practice patterns could go up higher than a G4. I would typically practice patterns up to F5 or so. Other than that, it's fantastic. An extrememly useful resource for anybody studying music theory or composition as well as an excellent practice tool. Show more

The world of scales and modes may look like a jungle to a Jazz improvising beginner: intimidating, hard to navigate, and frustrating to the point where it may cause one to give up. This application has converted that jazzy jungle into a playground, with near limitless opportunities for the aspiring jazz musician. It includes all possible modes and chords per scale/pattern that you may be analyzing in the app, and gives you information about what modes/scales/triads sound best over what chords. The app gives exactly what it advertises, and I would recommend this to a music educator to pass down to his students in a heartbeat. The only reason I give it a 4 star rating out of 5 is due to the apps formatting. It appears to be on the right track to achieving a simplistic navigational system that is also aesthetically pleasing to the eye, but there are still a few things that need to be adjusted to make this a 5 star music educational tool. (Note: they do have their own tutorial video channel on youtube on how to navigate the app, but if it can get to a point where it is more simplistic and eye appealing without sacrificing functionality and user freedom, it will be a music education super tool.) I'll be using this app for a long time. excellent job Tessitura app developers! Show more

This is an extensive app, great for theory and practice. Watch the tutorials and demos to see all the that it does. Simply endless and brilliant. The simple yet effective graphing of the scales and how you get all the related modes by just rotating the graph around the circle is brilliant. I've been looking for an app like this for a long time. If you want to understand and practice scales this is the app. I can practice any scale in any mode, even scales I did not know existed. The circle of fifths with the scales in it is awesome. And the patterns are really useful. The fact that this app does not have thousands of reviews, puzzles me. I guess people just want to play games on their phones It is among the best apps for scales and modes I've seen. Show more

The app is very well thought out and informative but, the layout and design can be very easily confusing for first timers. Great work. You should make a chord progressions app also. Show more

I like the layout, You could really benefit greatly from this app if it would stop crashing, geez!!...UPDATE: Seems to be working fine now. Loads of fun and very helpful!

Great app. The only problem is that the limit for the note range on the bass clef is only up to a G above the staff. I've had to use the treble clef feature in order for the scale patterns to extend to the top of my range. Show more

I don't even know where to start to use the app and start learning anything... it's too complicated and yea it's for the "advanced" user but to figure out how to use the app is a whole lesson in itself already Show more

The app has all the information you need. However, its design is just awful. I recommend a complete rework of the design. Otherwise 1 star for you.

This app is really nice for what I do, but it crashes far too often
