Star Scales Pro For Guitar

authentic rating

A handy scales reference with clear fingering, root notes and all the modes, and many keep it as their go-to for drilling scales. A responsive developer answers questions and fixes quickly. It breaks on aging code, crashing and bouncing to the home screen after iOS updates, the sound sometimes plays only the first note, and the redesign to a 'flat' look put many people off.
