Great app! It's so useful to have a collection of tools like this in one place. I really like the ability to flip between viewing notes/chords on a staff, piano, and guitar fretboard. And as a lefty, being able to flip the guitar fretboard around is super helpful. One thing that would make it even better is to somehow integrate chord inversions and different chord voicings, w/ ability to hear & see them visually represented on staff/piano/fretboard. I'll add a plus to my 5* for that 😄.

Thank you for your amazing 5-star review! Chord inversions and different voicings with visual/audio representation is in our future roadmap. If you have more ideas, please reach out at [email protected]. Enjoy making music! Please recommend the app to your musician friends. Thanks.

I don't get it. tried the "modulation" but it doesn't have progressions, it just repeats the last chord you selected. no target chord, no way to select "a progression"... on second thought I'm lowering my rating. I don't know why I gave it so many stars in the first place.

I have no clue what I am doing yet this app is very useful to understand concepts and YouTube lessons on my own. I can see how this (the free version) can be an invaluable tool to anyone dabbling especially with some background of music theory.
