Tremendous start!
By bill.george (Pcmac user)
Read about this app in The Strad, tried the free version and bought an advanced package.
The app is beautifully laid out and realized: easy, intuitive, attractive and comprehensive. It does all the basics and then, with add-ons, quite a bit more: scales in all their variations, covering two and three octaves, with appropriate fingering options. I had a question, wrote support, and within an hour received a helpful response!
I plan to use this every time I practice--daily!

Good start
By Chumbucket Treacle (Pcmac user)
I've tested this with a few students. However they intuitively were trying to be in sync with the timeline bar rather than the audio (perhaps as the iPad speaker was not loud enough in studio)-but I've discovered if they follow when the bar passes the note they will be behind the beat. It would also help scanning purposes if the note heads could highlight or change color when they should be played. It would be cool to have option to add fingerlings or display pitches, or make new rhythm patterns that wouldn't require changing the accompaniment, or more than the 2 note slur option (3,4,6,8). All the other features are great.

Good work, keep working!
By Alpalzalchule (Pcmac user)
As a professional designer and a professional string player / teacher, I appreciate the simplicity both In aesthetics function.
The music that can play along is a little absurd, it might be fun for kids tho. I will test it out on my students. What I would love would be a drone, either chord or just one tone. And I probably won't use it until it includes all three and four scale octaves.
Please keep up the good work!!!

Brass Instruments?
By a rubber band (Pcmac user)
I feel like this app would be perfect for everyone including me, but there is one small problem… I play the tuba.
