I have gushed about this app, and the developer, this app is the most underrated app on the App Store!
This is not just an app, but a TOOL that has more features than one person could ever need! It is like a school with all the labs theory and tools you could ever want ALL FREE!
*Built in SYNTHESIZER: Monotone synth with touch pad (ribbon type) playing surface.
*Built in METRONOME: Large “FULL SCREEN” silent visual metronome that the whole band could see from a distance, to keep perfect timing. Sliders allow for tempo and beat adjustments.
*Tempo Meter: Don’t know the beats per minute? Just tap the minimal tempo meter pad to the beat and it will calculate the timing for you!
* Tuner: Play, or sing any note to visually see the NOTE you are feeding into the built in mic. Again a very easy and clean screen, with LARGE display big enough for the whole band to use.
CHORD CHARTS like you have NEVER SEEN IN ANY OTHER APP... and here is the brilliant part, each instrument is listed by a picture
PIANO,
GUITAR,
UKULELE,
VIOLIN,
FLUTE
+more
Each one has its own its OWN tuner built in, with CHORDS, Music notation, practice, with lessons for EACH instrument!
Each instrument shows the playing surface in real time.
For example the guitar shows a fret board (the WHOLE FRET BOARD 14 frets) and the notes on that fret board played in real time!
I could go on and on and on... I’m telling you this is a MUST have app!
Updated 10-2-19 Developer took the time to make a great app even more amazing! I’m excited to see what Jianfeng Wu may come up with next!
Updated: I was very happy to see that the song list had not only a LONG list of amazing classical songs, it also had a HUGE list of old gospel songs.
1 thing I would love to see is a way to SLOW the tempo for musicians trying to learn a really difficult part. (That would be amazing!)
***** another amazing addition would be, if notation could be toggled to Tablature for guitarist. Not sure if that would be an easy thing to do?
I wanted to take a minute to write a review, because this dev, has made so many cool apps, and doesn’t have in-app purchases, I mean these apps are well made, and have real life applications. His first app I downloaded was a radio app called RGRadio, and to be honest it had stations that other apps charge for! I am a musician, so having a good radio app on my iPad was pretty much a must. I didn’t want another “Pandora” type radio app or Spotify (there is already too many good ones, those two being top sellers) I wanted a radio app that I could listen to Old Time Radio, as well as stations in London, Germany and RGRadio just nailed it with full features.
Now on to this gem... it’s brilliant ! The developer uses Free Domain classics and lets you LEARN by allowing you to see chords, progressions, and written music... (again ALL for free)
I hope this dev comes up with something that just blows everyone away! Keep making cool apps Jianfeng (by the way I am just an app user, I in no way, know this developer, or promote him other than an HONEST review)
