iHarmony App Reviews

Very helpfull, its quick and easy to look at.

This is a great app and all, but where is the suspended 2 chord? And some others?... In addition, there should be an option where we can hear unarpeggiated chords.. That would make this a great app if that were possible.... Also, this app is very handy and useful. Great work!

I have taught advanced music theory honors to prepare students for college as music major for the past 20 years and got is app on a lark to see if it would be a good tool for students. It is not. Is is inaccurate and misleading in its use of basic theory nomenclature which can make it confusing for theory students. For example - chords are made up of steps of a scale and each note within a chord is called a factor, and is referee to by an Arabic number (1,2,3,4) - not a Roman numeral (I, II, III, etc.) roman numerals should only refer to chords as they function within a given key. For example in C Major the I chord is based on the first step of the scale and is made up of steps 1,3,5 of e scale. (scale steps should also have carrots above them but couldnt type that) To me this is a big problem as students of theory regularly mix this up and get confused by the different numbering systems and their meanings. From the reviews it seems that many users downloading this are also beginners ( btw - the scale that goes with the dominant chord is the mixolydian scale - he major scale with a flat 7) It also just lists chords and scales with no information or association between the scales, chords, etc. This combined with the annoying 5 flat instead of flat 5 - not a great tool.

I think this is a great app. I love the way all of the scales, chords, and harmony is laid out. I would suggest one change though. Please consider showing the link between the scales and the chords that they are used over by placing the chord symbol next to each scale. This would be invaluable for students studying jazz improvisation. Thanks for the great app.

Im very happy with the update. Now you can hear harmony too. Perfect for music students. Love it! Thanks for a great app.

From reading other reviews it seems there are hot opinions on the "right" ways of all this, but this app serves a purpose and is elegantly done. It is being well taken care of.

I have untold volumes of books, online resources and anything I could find with this collection of information. Unbeatable.

Very well done! Nicely laid out and easy to get around. I think this will be a great app for me.

Fantastic app! Well organized. Great review/reference for musicians and composers alike.

I am mostly an improvisational player. Harmonica and sax. - I find this app very useful for checking notes of a scale - especially when I switch to sax without time to warm up into a key.

This app was great. Very helpful with confirming notes in a scale.

This was a useful app when it played back the notes, chords and scales. But ever since its first upgrade, it no longer plays back sound. Is a fix coming? Or is my money wasted?

I recently resumed playing the trumpet, and this app has helped with my study of music theory in scales chords harmony, cant go wrong. Well you can but not here!

He left out the minor major seventh.

This is a basic anchor information source I use when studying my music!

very useful

This would be an awesome way to study up and get my ear in shape but It wont play any of the chords or scales.

I can hear out all the various harmonic combinations, and have access to expert level reference for chords & scales. Thank you so much, Mr. De Bortoli. God bless you. ❤ ♫ ❤ ♫

I use this in my arranging so I dont have to waste time analyzing chords

Clean and simple app, works great on ipad3. My only request would be to add a chord scratch pad similar to GuitarToolkit that could be used to save and export chord sheets.
