An editorial reading of the saved reviews
A strong tool for memorizing the fretboard and working with scales: it shows one scale and one position at a time, colors the scale degrees, and keeps a beginner from drowning in notes, and many use it daily for years. It breaks on two things: musicians are angry that a former lifetime purchase now asks for a monthly subscription again, and the app writes flats in scales where the key signature calls for sharps, which makes it unfit as a teaching reference.
