Jazz Buddy App Reviews

This could be a SUCH a handy away-from-piano practice tool for the serious student. But there are gross mistakes: the misspelling of chords and scales as mentioned, but also what I see as just wrong scales (i.e., their "diminished whole tone" for playing with dom#9 chords has Maj7--I think its supposed to be the Dim Half/Whole-tone scale). Also, important and current scales and chords are not present: no locrian#2, no Altered Scale, pentatonics, etc. and no Alt13 chords. Please update this potentially GREAT practice resource. Or maybe make it editable?? So that the user can add chords/scales that are at the top of their practice "to do" list.

Also, musical syntaxis errors such as naming the minor third of the Cm chord as D# instead of Eb, which even though being enharmonic, structurally and functionally speaking can be viewed as different notes. Including sounds to the app would be a valuable tool as well.

I liked this back when it worked. Now it doesnt even open on either of my devices.

What i expected! The only thing i miss is the actual sound of the accords.

It was good, but its really hard to find the chord. They should add a search tool.

There really needs to be an update with proper chord spellings...as in now. They are enharmonically correct but NOT spelled the way anyone spells them in the real world.

There needs to be much more in depth thought put into this app. Not only are the scale choices limited there are so many more options and... What about slash chords? Not worth the price, should be free!

I it hard to find chords. Doesnt explain them. Keyborad is terrible. Dont buy this app. I wish I could get my money back!!!!!!! 

For example, spelling a Cmin7 as C-D#-G-A# instead of the correct spelling of C-Eb-G-Bb. Technically, emharmonically correct, but still TOTALLY wrong!!!! And all chords in all keys have these same mistakes. Dont waste your money on this stupid program!!!!!

Should be free. Not that good. Where is flat 9th chord etc. Not complete .

I should have used the $1.99 to buy a cup of coffee. Wrong scale spellings and stupid enharmonic spellings of chords. Read a book.

Ive been using and loving this app for years...now the app will not open I have tried downloading and opening on other devices and got the same result. Very saddened
