This app is very useful and very ergonomic but some suggestions :- You cannot delete one individual note from a shape. Fortunately, most of the time you can find a suitable shape, but it’s a wasting time reviewing all differents shapes before findind the good one. And sometimes I was unable to find a good shape,for fingering purposes, so I have some note positions I cannot remove . The note removal is global where it should be individual.- In addition to the global zoom, a vertical zoom should be implemented to adjust the fretboard heigth, and to display several fretboards , i.e. for rehearsal . - No sound all all ( notes cannot be played ). For training or mobile situations, or without instrument, it can be useful to hear the notes. The final goal is playing music ;-) - May we have a user defined default color set instead of the default white color ? Now, I have to create a default shape with default colors then clone it. Other ideas for future versions: Add MIDI Clock or ReWire sync to automatically switch between groups or scrolling while using a DAW , and playing a song...

This a well thought out and well designed application with all the features, a storage file for all personally created scales and a well designed web page with some good learning material. I am pleasently suprised. I have had 20 guitar apps in three weeks looking for the right one.I consider myself an IT professional since its my career. When I first logged in I did have to get accustomed the interface and the design. When you log in you create your own folder and start storing content there. I was unsure at first but the logic kicked in. I have been looking for an App that has all material required but an app that also me to build the learning scales/content I need and modify as I go. I was also pleased when I was able to adjust the layout of the UI. Everything can be printed and the print layout is a one pager and obviously well thought of. But then I wanted learning material/content to support my study of the guitar and all the voicings. I navigated over the webpage and found a good mix of quality videos, a forum and additional resources. I'm very happy with the App. As an IT professional I have seen people put together an app in 2 days. This is not the case. This is a well configured, developed and functional application for my MacBook.

Crashing. (Edit: not any more)Edit: I'm updating my review because I just saw the developer's response, and I gave the app another try. It's working fine on my old Macbook 2017 with Ventura. I see that the website with the tutorials is active again. I don't know what happened in the last few years, but I see that the app has indeed been updated and it works.I will add more update after I have learned the program better, but I wnt to say now that I kept hope alive for this app because it's simply better in the sense that it's designed how a musician would think. While most scale apps are static pictures that you can look at while you run up and down the notes, this app allows you to visualize useful things, such as being able to overlay chord, arpeggio and scale to see all at once. I understand that there are many ways to think about this stuff, but this is the way I think of it. If I have a series of changes, I can visualize all my options for the chord of the moment. Looking forward to getting back into this app.

Not abandoned at all, we had to rewrite some internal code... Now it works perfectly with Sequoia.

I love this app. Great conception, great learning and teaching tool. Great way to create new ways to practice. I too think it would be so awesome to hear sounds, although I know the developer didn't intend to do this. still, would make an awesome app even more awesome.

Developer Response
We are working to improve the software and today we not exclude the possibility to add the sound feature in the future. Thanks for your feedback
