  • Extremely hard to use

    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.
  • Great knowledge Terrible interface

    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.

    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...
  • Best thing ever

    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.
  • Unintuitive

    Not a very intuitive interface at all. Absolutely watch the tutorial videos.
  • Could be so much better

    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.
  • Greatest Conceptual Music Tool

    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

    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..
  • Impressive!

    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.
