Chosen by BestEducationalApps as one of the Top 5 Music Theory Apps for iPad - "For music teachers wondering how to get their students to practice chord progressions and new theory topics at home, Music Tool could be the solution. This app is a simple dashboard of notes and chords that make those elements sound out when you tap them. For example, you can tap the C on the keyboard or in the list of notes, and hear the C. You can also tap the C sus4 chord and hear that chord. In addition to the Major scales dashboard, there is a list of modes that allows you to change the dashboard into a list of notes and chords used in the different modes."

Latest reviews of Music Tool app for iPhone and iPad
you changed the icon without even updating the app to refina display? why???? Im waiting for an update on graphics since when I first downloaded the app one year ago! :( Ill never buy anything from you guys!
Music tool rockz!!!! It is a really good app!!!!!!!
I was looking for an app that would help with scales and chords; this is perfect. I used the free app for a while and just updated to the full version. My favorite music theory type app.
Great for those that want know theory better. Easy to use. I use this app for guitar and its amazing, I already learned a couple of exotic scales, people are surprised when they hear such exotic sounds come from a guitar, surely gives a better more sophisticated sound than a pentatonic!! The best part of this app has to be, the fact that it shows you which scale goes with what chord visa versa. Get it! Could be 1.99 though
I just downloaded the update and the app is working beautifully . I recommend this app to all musicians/composers/arrangers
