Awesome app!

This app is amazing! I love how organized and structured my songwriting gets, plus it teaches me about different scales and chord functions which opened a complete new toolbox for me!

One thing that would make it even cooler is if I could change the way the chord is build up, so for example instead of a C chord like C E G, also the possibility of playing it back in E G C (in the piano)

Also for me, as a beginning guitarplayer, these different finger positions for the same chord would be helpful (and cool to add to the songwriting options).

Thank you for this app! It has already inspired me loads!

Thank you for your review! The app creates automated inversions (like C major played as E-G-C). At the moment you cannot specify explicit inversions for certain chords. But this will maybe follow as a feature ✌️

A truly amazing app for harmony but also for lots of other things

I think I have purchased the extra scales three times and they are still locked, so those stars are off again My apologies, I wrote last week that I was getting stuck, in fact the problem was me and the app..... This app is incredible, one of the finest I have used so far, I have just installed extra modes and I am working on not just getting into understanding the modes but applying them to songs and different keys. The circle of 5ths, doesn’t just give you the insights into the different steps but highlights the major and minor chords for each key, this is brilliant for practicing scales. I love writing songs and now I not only have chords choices from the usual groups, but also the chords of other modes, as well as finding unusual ‘fits’ for melodies. Hugely recommended!!

Many moons later, years I mean and nothing has been fixed. Never again

Thanks for the review! Maybe the purchase didn’t went through. You can also try to purchase the scales from the App Store. They are listet on the TONALY product page. If you have purchased the item and it is still unlocked you can make it available by restoring your purchases like this: https://guide.tonaly.app/add-ons/restore-purchases

Great app

Like the app and use it a lot in songwriting and writing solos for on the guitar.

I do want to request and improvement. I play extended range and down tuned guitar a lot. Could this be added to the guitar view? I play sometimes in drop G and 7 string for example. Keep up the good work! Cheers.

Thanks for your review. I’ll keep your suggestions in mind for updates to guitar tunings!
