About this app

The circle of fifths shows the relationship between major and minor parallel keys. Also it can be used for modulation from one key to another.

Ratings and reviews

This is wonderful. In a simple graphical display it shows you the diatonic chord relationships within any major or natural minor scale, and lets you listen to them and play around with them. You can use this app to try out chord progressions and explore modulations from one key to another. It would be better if the circle were larger in diameter, because my biggish fingers sometimes miss the little dots in the innermost circle, but then everyone would need a bigger phone, so I can't really downgrade the app for that. Five stars; if permitted I would give it an extra star for sheer creativity.

An easy, simple app. Convenient reference and pleasing tones! Universal accessibility: kids love experimenting with this app as well, listening to chords and creating chord progressions. The app enables you to temporarily store a chord progression as well so you can hear back and play around with it. Helpful for planning and context. No advertisements either. Just a really nice gift!

Simply amazing. The Circle of Fifths has been brought to life in this interactive and musical app. No ads, and completely free. Whether you're new to music or an advanced composer, this app will forever change the way you see and hear music. It makes music into a fun and easy to understand endeavor, as opposed to a grueling study of a complicated and murky subject. If I had one more, I'd give it three thumbs up.

What’s new

- fixed enharmonic change(there were different signs of alterations in a key at the same time);
- fixed scale degree representation(I II III ... now are I ii iii ...);
- fixed sounding chord(no inversions now).
