Songwriting, scales & music theory — built around the circle of fifths.

** #1 Music App in over 20 countries **

WRITE SONGS THAT WORK
Pick chords from the circle of fifths and combine them into songs that sound great. See how chords connect, change keys instantly, and export your ideas as MIDI to Ableton, Logic, or GarageBand.
LEARN SCALES VISUALLY
Master scales on guitar, piano, bass, ukulele, violin, viola, or cello — with left-hand mode. From major and minor to Dorian, Mixolydian, and 80+ additional scales.
UNDERSTAND MUSIC THEORY
See how keys, chords, and scales connect — instead of memorizing rules. Roman numerals, Nashville numbers, intervals, and chord structures, all explained visually.

Hello There. It’s a great app, but it requires me to pay for unlocking 80+ scales even though I’ve done that before. The deal is, it is shown as ’Purchased’ in the app store, but not in app itself. It directs you to the window that you make the purchase again. Would you mind helping me with that? Thank you.

Developer Response
Thank you for your review! The app is more for finding fundamentals rather than to "produce" a song with it. That is why the sounds are quite basic. Nevertheless I'm planning to update and improve them! Stay tuned!
