Ratings and Reviews
I really like this app
This app is fantastic for writing and integrating music theory. It is very well thought out and the deeper you go into it the more powerful it becomes. I would like to be able to change chord once per beat in certain instances. The app is restricted to two chords per bar and that can be a little frustrating. However overall it is fantastic value. I would not want to be without it. Unlike some apps it allows you to produce music without being too ‘paint by numbers’. It provides a great starting point and can comprehensively expand your musicality the more you use it. It is my secret weapon and I don’t want to share it. However this app deserves sharing and the developer deserves all the success he can get for this. It is a Labour of love and it shows!. Oh and the recent update has a template feature which is awesome!. I am a fan.

Thank you for your review! Long-term, it's planned to add more than two chords per bar. A workaround, for now, is to set the tempo double in order to have faster chord changes... Not perfect, but it's working 😉
Fantastic app, very well thought out
I came across this app via an advert on Instagram and, while I’m always sceptical about purchasing through a social media ad, this app has blown me away. It’s so well thought out and designed. I’ve been writing film music for a long time but chord sequences are always tricky to get right as there are so many options. This app is going to be very useful in solving that and providing me different ideas to further develop in my DAW. I immediately bought the two add-ons as they will also be useful for practising scales and exporting my songs. Excellent work, congrats to Christian for a brilliantly useful app.

Awesome! Thanks for your feedback!
Just one issue...
I really like this app. It’s beautifully designed with an easy elegant workflow. I’ve tried a bunch of similar apps and this is the stand-out of the bunch.
There’s just one issue that stopped me giving it five stars — and other people might not be bothered by it at all. The issue is this: it comes with a handful of useful scales, but many of the scales you’d probably want to use — common scales like the pentatonic, etc. only come as part of an inter-app purchase.
The add on isn’t expensive and I’d be happy to pay a higher price for an app that included the other scales, but the way it is at the moment I feel like the app is crippled when you buy it, so you’re manipulated into buying the add-on. Just sell the whole thing for one price and it’s a solid five star app.

Hey! Thanks for the feedback! I try to keep the app as clean and easy to use as possible. Most users don’t need that many scales and that is why I’m trying to keep the app price low for the basic features which suit most users of the app. For more experienced user which are hungry for more I’m offering the optional In-App purchase... ✌️
