Only reason I bought this was to use it while traveling. But you can’t read the book without internet access. Completely defeats the purpose of a “book”. Which makes this app worthless.

Ça pourrait être bien si c’était traduit en français ou en d’autres langue. Vu le prix des bouquins et l’IA aujourd’hui qui permet de traduire qualitativement n’importe quel texte. Il semble que ça serait le minimum de propose une traduction

Would love if the song database was available within the app instead of having to redirect to the browser. Simple web view inside the app with a search bar would do

Ich habe jetzt Hooktheory 1 durch. Und werde gleich mit dem 2. Teil starten. Vorher aber schon mal diese Bewertung. Es hat mich um ein vielfaches weiter gebracht im Songwriting und allgemein Musiktheorie. Ich hatte ein Problem dieses Buch auf meinen Mac zu öffnen. Nach eine email an dem Support bekam ich sehr schnell eine Antwort und meine Probleme wurden gelöst. Gesamt: 5/5 Sehr gut ! Verbesserungsvorschlag: Vielleicht könnte man in der Zukunft noch einzelne erweiterte Teile herausbringen, welche sich speziell auf verschiedene Genres richten wie Hip Hop; Rock; Techno. Das würde mich extrem freuen. Mit freundlichen Grüßen

The audio works fine when first being played. But there’s no sound comes out if wait for some time and play again. I have to restart the app to get the sound to work.

If you want to learn music theory in a great and simple way, this is the best buy you can make. I have a lot of books about it but this is the best !

Chapter 3.3 “…notes on weak beats are less prominant.” in which “prominant” should be “prominent” Just reporting a spelling mistake. The book itself is fascinating! Great job!

This is basically a $25 book with nice images and some videos. It is composed of 20 chapters of 2 pages (1 if you remove images) , that is high price for a book. Content is not maintained for the last 3 years, keeping typos in the little text it contains. The author takes shortcuts in the theory to an end goal that basically give the student the impression of understanding music without having to know the why, being able to play with chords, but this is very short term.
