Star Scales Pro For Guitar Reviews

by Gadlaw

Saw it advertised on Facebook so I bought it on a whim. Turns out it's one of the few like this which make you buy the same thing for your iPad or your iPhone if you bought it once. Nothing different or particularly well done in presenting scales to you. It's done better in free programs. Save your money, try some of the other programs that don't cheat you for two versions of the same thing and which provide 'lite' versions or are outright free.

Good, almost... the scale positions are wrong. Scale pattern 1 is actually pattern 5, every pattern is off like that. why? If you want to reinvent things, whatever, at least give the settings option to label it conventionally.

by Drumgeek

Not bad over all. However, it would be very helpful if the scale patterns could be organized with the notes in the order of the scale, and if the starting and ending notes corresponded with the scale, for example c major would be c d e f g a b c, instead of a jumbled group of notes. Could this possibly be corrected in a future update?

I'm enjoying StarScalesProForGuitar it has easy fingering and shows you your root notes in each scale!! Plus you've all the modes!! I wish I would've found StarScalesProForGuitar when I first started learning guitar! Not everyone who says they can teach can and the same goes for guitarist who write books. Some people are in it for the love of how much money they can make off people! As for those who really love music and teaching guitar my hat goes off too you!!! Just so many dishonest individuals out there making learning guitar harder than it really is!! DOG(DEPEND ON GOD) not men!! Good day mate!!!

I like StarScalesProForGuitar for it's practical approach of separating the fretboard into easily memorizable patterns. This is essential for building muscle memory, speed,and confidence. Other, more traditional approaches map all the notes on the fretboard at once, which can be overwhelming.

I would like to see chords/progressions that can be used with each scale, or the ability to enter chord/progressions and get a list of scales that work.

StarScalesProForGuitar is good & intuitive to use. When I had questions about the numbers (fingers) the developer was very quick to respond. The developer has also responded quickly to suggestions for improvement. The only improvement would be to have the help section be a little more comprehensive to explain the different screen notations.

I have several nice guitar apps and this is the one I use most to practice scales with because it breaks the learning down into manageable chunks. Because of this it goes beyond just a mere reference. It's a unique learning aid!

Great functionality, Update made the apps layout look even better than the previous version. Over all fantastic!

I've used this as a reference guide for writing several progressive metal songs. I recommend this to any and all composers as a quick and easy go to guide.

I am new to guitar and like many other beginners, I know what sounds I want, but don't know my way around the neck. StarScalesProForGuitar acts like a road map for the guitar neck. I wish you didn't have to pay twice for iPhone / iPad, but who cares.

by Sortalucid34

Exactly what I was looking for. Very thorough - worthy of a professional musician. Do not look elsewhere.

App developers - can you please include more 3 note per string scales and a battery of arpeggios in the next update? Thanks

by Bob Bobby Bill

This is a great app! 5 stars, but could u please make an option for numbers instead of roman numerals for the frets. Sometimes it confuses me. Thanks vey much for this amazing and extremely helpful app!

Very convenient app to have when learning scales. I like the fact that it shows you all the patterns for a scale, and lets you save your favorites for quick access. Get StarScalesProForGuitar now, you won't regret it.

by Mr. Man Pumpkin

Lots and lots of scales here. A few bonus features are great - guides that show which finger to use to what each note sounds like.

I think it'd be cool if the iPhone could be turned with the face out like a guitar and you could then practice some of the scales right on your phone.

by Danpg

If you understand how scales actually work you would know that this program does what it says and presents the information much better than any other iphone guitar scale program to date.

by Eric IQ

I been looking for you where have you been all my guitar life App, but seriously I have been looking at scale charts and trying to figure the pentatonic scales out for some time now and this made it happen really great top notch App what I really needed and more worth every bit of what I payed for it.

by Sam Sammy

Great app, does what it's supposed to. I recommend to you, and your mama.

Update on review: I still think its a great app, but I wish they made a version for the Mac App Store. A version for my laptop. I've been looking for something like this for my computer and it exists but none are nearly as great as StarScalesProForGuitar. So please make this for the computer as well. Thanks.

I have paid once for StarScalesProForGuitar and have it on my iPad and iPhone. I purchased on my iPhone. It is confusing but to add to iPad you need to go to purchased apps screen and select not on iPad. On the next screen you will see StarScalesProForGuitar with the little cloud/down arrow icon. Tap boom installs.

Would like a setting to disable screen shutdown while using StarScalesProForGuitar .

If you're into learning scales, StarScalesProForGuitar will play tons of them, show you fingering on the fretboard, and allow you to "pluck" them out manually. Nice graphics and several different approaches to help you become proficient with scales.

by NeXuS951

The only thing keeping it from being 5 stars is that it would be awesome to have 3 note per string fingerings for all of the scales.
