    Way too much stuff going on from the beginning. Use this only if you know the Bible of music theory cause if you don’t this app blows
  • Changed how I write and learn music

    An amazingly intuitive app for the not so intuitive subject of music theory.
  • Can Only write in Major Aeolian???

    Cmon. I’m confounded. Regardless of the scale you pick (of which there are many), the songwriting section forces a tonal base of major key in Aeolian scale, and that’s it. I don’t get it. Something so incredibly basic. Really?? How about: you pick the key AND scale of the song in the “scale” section and start writing the song in the “songwriting” section in that selected scale?
  • This literally changed the way I write, play, and hear music!

    The circle of fifths always escaped me, or the paper charts I drew were slow and cumbersome. I could figure it out with a piano, but it took time. This lets you variate chords, build sections, and transpose really easily. I recommend it to everyone who makes music or wants to understand it better.
  • if one more feature is added...

    I really like this app. I don’t wanna waste the review to talk about what it can do because Chris’s tutorial videos are pretty informative on that note. But I like the developers to add (or I’d better say to complete) the chord section; When you click on the Chord Symbols under the left menu, it shows lots of great info. I first clicked on the square which contains the chord name thinking it plays the chord but I was wrong. Also, it shows the chord only in the first position on the fretboard. Personally I don’t mind to pay more for the app if these super useful educational improvements are added. So, I hope they add the following features: 1- when you click on the chord name, I like to hear how it sounds as well, 2- I’d also be able to change the chord position on the fretboard to see other inversions or chord options, “interactively”. PS: this can be added as a new option, something titled as Chord, in the menu with Songwriting, Scales, and Modes.
  • Truly great app

    I have owned the app for a while now but hadn’t really taken advantage of all it has to offer until recently. There is so much you can do here and there is an excellent guidebook to help learn to do it. I am using the app as a scale practice tool, to try out new chord progressions and to better understand the circle of fifths. Really well done with great functions and very well designed graphics. Love it.
  • Great developer who cares about feedback

    Please add auv3 support, this would be awesome for playing scales and sending to other plugins. I posted a negative review of v1 and made a comment about colorblind accessibility. The developer took this feedback and in v2 released this feature. This is a gem of an app backed by a first class developer. Great work!
  • More chords please 🙏🏻

    This app is amazing, though I have run into some limitations with composing complex jazz chords such as Dominant7b9. Would love to see an expansion of the chord customization feature to build/edit any intervals desired.
  • Great App!

    I downloaded TONALY on a Friday, prior to traveling because I needed an app that would provide me with the circle of fifths for composition, and I was not disappointed. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised by how full this app is with features that help with composition and songwriting, in addition to the view of the circle of fifths. What’s more, you can change the length of chords a chords measures, and save your work to come back later to it. You can very quickly transpose your compositions to hear what they sound like in other keys. If you’re a musician without a background in music education, and even if you are, I would recommend this app be on your device! I’ve also used it to figure out chords to songs quickly, as I’m still learning to do that by ear. This is a very useful on-the-go composition tool, and easy to use for those who are not yet comfortable with theory or their instrument, yet wish to express themselves.
  • Super glitchy *_*

    Really enjoyed using this app the first day I got it, but now when I load it, only a blank screen shows up and I cant retrieve any of my songs. Beautiful interface,Would love to give this a higher rating but my phone is brand new and this shouldn’t be happening.
