5 ★ A simple app which does exactly what it says it does! If you are having trouble with the circle of fifths/fourths then this app will help you. It would probably also help you in composition or in deciphering chord progressions. I would like the chord playback to sound a little cleaner and a little less pianoesque, but this is a very good app.
5 ★ A surprisingly useful app, specifically for small a capella ensembles in need of a tuning fork 😁
5 ★ Simply amazing. The Circle of Fifths has been brought to life in this interactive and musical app. No ads, and completely free. Whether you're new to music or an advanced composer, this app will forever change the way you see and hear music. It makes music into a fun and easy to understand endeavor, as opposed to a grueling study of a complicated and murky subject. If I had one more, I'd give it three thumbs up.
5 ★ This is wonderful. In a simple graphical display it shows you the diatonic chord relationships within any major or natural minor scale, and lets you listen to them and play around with them. You can use this app to try out chord progressions and explore modulations from one key to another. It would be better if the circle were larger in diameter, because my biggish fingers sometimes miss the little dots in the innermost circle, but then everyone would need a bigger phone, so I can't really downgrade the app for that. Five stars; if permitted I would give it an extra star for sheer creativity.
5 ★ EDIT- Rated 5 Stars today. Thank you very much Anton Zhvakin for improvisation and record feature. The latency timing has improved a lot. Its almost instant :) OLD - Its been years I have used this app on different devices. It is very useful for therotical purpose. But the audio lag hasn't been corrected yet. Even while using high end phones and tablets. Cannot play live according to metronome because it misses and lags ridiculously. Will change the rating after the issue has been addressed.
5 ★ I have all my students from ages 8-75 use this wonderful app. The only suggestion that I would have is to add a visual staff to show the voicings of these chords. Hearing the notes as well as being able to see where they are on the staff is important. Thank you!!
3 ★ Clean but too simple(?) Still missing basic information that helps learning: Number of #b on key; it's better to display which chord is associated when pressing on a degree I, II, ... just playing a chord sound would suggest that learner should have got a good ear training level then! And why such a simple app take 12 MB as APK in comparison with similar app with only 2 MB? Something more in there?
5 ★ excellent circle of fifth. the only thing i don't get it right is the sound of notes in the app. i dont know what is played when u press a key...sounds like a harmonic but anyway, best I learn the sound of my own instrument :D. i see in description is a chord sound haha. ia that the chord of the 6st degree of the major scale?
5 ★ If you play music, you will love this app! Not for musicians only, but for everyone who wants to learn. By having the sound of the chord played as you look at the circle, you can identify the relationship between them so much better. This is a must have app.
4 ★ By adding optional identical circles that can be rotated against the primary circles you could create a very handy chord transposer. Just duplicate the outer ring as a fourth ring and make it relatable. Or make I stationary and let the inner rings move like they do now.
5 ★ Love the elegance and simplicity of this app, even though it took me some time to figure out exactly what it does. A brief tutorial at first use might be helpful for ignorant people like me. Otherwise, brilliant!
5 ★ Perfection. This app is very basic, and that's not bad. You can use this if you know the chords but not the key, or if you want to quickly change keys. (or if you just want to understand how it all works)
4 ★ Pretty cool. I feel there could be more of a narration or description inside the app but its definitely a circle of fifths.
3 ★ Works great. I'm colour blind and your choice of colours isn't great for me. Would be nice if I could pick my own.
5 ★ 🌶🍄🍒💯Get this if you are a lead guitarist and MEMORIZE IT or you WILL be a flip-phone instead of an iphone. When you play. Yes it does make a differance.
