Scales & Modes App Reviews

App is useful, but the text could be clearer and darker. The other instruments shown in the app like Bass and Violin require an additional purchase of 99 cents.

Nice to have a reference in your pocket

Excellent reference for a musician on the go!

Simple, with a high fidelity of information. I love this app!

Good-looking simple interface and great information about each scale. Overall very helpful and informative, with a nice quiz feature as well. Only improvements I can see needed would be a higher maximum tempo when playing the scales and a few UI tweaks (perhaps some additional button states and such) to make it feel a bit more responsive.

Very useful, perfect!!! I love it!!

I have always had trouble understanding scales and modes. I literally know every mode of every scale after working with this app about 8 hours. And Im not that smart. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Great app. However there is a hidden cost for violin and bass uses. $0.99 they should just include that in the original price tag

First the app just looks gorgeous. Next it does something that really sets it apart: you can play notes by directly tapping on the scales. If you are trying to write music especially in any key other than C Major get this app and try it, see if it doesnt simplify your work.

I love this app. Simple and works great.

Great app!!! Ive played guitar for 15 years, had many lessons and this app really made so much click! Its clean, comprehensive and includes notation, intervals and clear explanations. I have a screen full of scale apps and this is by far the best and most accurate. Thank you thank you!!!!

Loads better with all the latest updates. I left because in the beginning this app needed improvements. And now its so fun! Keep the updates coming please!

All the right info in one place. I was really happy to see there was an add-on for bass. I also love that you can play the notes in the scale so you can explore the sound of the mode by yourself. I love the change in layout from the keyboard to the guitar neck. I will recommend for sure. Great job!

Absolutely wonderful. Teaches tonality and modality in expert fashion, and I recommend for any guitar player with any amount of experience.

Must have app for any musician, from beginner to expert! A valuable app indeed.

This app. is really exceptional, especially as an educational tool. I will recommend this to any aspiring musician or music teacher that use Mac platforms. The additional fee for more instruments should made clear before purchasing but its a very small fee and well worth it. This app. is a huge time saver in trying to explain difficult music theory subjects and concepts through a well designed user interface. It is very easy to use and understand. The graphics are smooth, with nice script type that gives it a classical feel. A job well done by Smappsoft programmers!

Is there any way this app could have the option of picking between different clefs?

This app is by far the best app Ive ever had to learn scales with. They perfectly show the construction, formula, and intervals of the notes of the main scales with all their modes included as well. Id love to see more by smappsoft in music theory.

I Play both piano and guitar and this a big help to me when i make covers of songs and when i transpose them as well.

Good concept but other programs have substantially more scales. Where are the octatonic, diminished, and whole tone scales? Where are the exotic scales from hungary and asia? Until this gets more content I cant rate this higher. Get the planet waves scale app instead.
