Description

The Interactive Chord Wheel is an implementation of one of the most basic and significant music theory, 'Circle of fifths' on Android. This app is uniquely designed to represent the relationship between a scale and a chord.
In the screen of this app, the Circle is made up of several concentric rings, which provides various information. By rotating the 2 rings, inner and outer, the needed information can be got easily.
The outer most ring shows information on the scale such as a tonic, a dominant, a sub-dominant, a relative minor, a relative major, and a progression of the degree. The next outer ring shows a series of note's name ordered by the progression of 5th, and the root note of a scale can be set by rotationg this ring. When rotating the outer ring, the inner ring rotates also. The next ring shows a degree of a note and a diatonic chord in that scale. By rotaing the next ring, a chord can be set. If a note name of the outer ring is touched, then a diatonic chord, of which the root note is the note, is set. Instead of the inner chord ring, a key progression ring can be displayed which is very useful when transposing a song to another key. At the center of the concentric rings, a signiture of the scale is displayed.

The direction of the key progression on a circle can be set to a CW or a CCW direction by a user.

Switchable Inner Wheel

Scale

Colors / Marks
The tones of a scale and a chord are associated with the 7 colors of the rainbow. For example, the 1st note is red, and the 7th note is violet.
Also, marks such as ●, △, ★, ◎ represent that it's 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th note.

5 ★ I am a professional musician, I also give lessons to children to introduce them to music. This helps the kids understand the circle of fifths and I'd wonderful for reference!

5 ★ Great tool, one you start figuring out how to use it. The one in this app is clean easy to tag, easy to use, customizable, and has some great addons ;chord voicings, scales etc

4 ★ Very useful app, but would love to see it done to an A432 scale. It would be more healing that way.

3 ★ I am just not a theory wizard right now, so I can not see all the uses of this; therefore, I say that it is okay because I do not understand it.

1 ★ Sorry, launching my browser into a pop-up infested website every 5 taps gets this app permanently removed from my device.

1 ★ I downloaded but trial is pointless and I'm not going to pay £5 for an app I have not tried...

5 ★ I have finally found a transposing wheels that is easy and clear to understand and to use! It is mine I tell you, ALL MINE!

1 ★ I never once opened this app, I just downloaded it to give it a bad review when I realized what a scumbag the dev is . To dev, thanks for being so trash and responding to everyone's problems like a smarta**. Not everyone is a developer. 5 star pr work

1 ★ Dear developer, the thinly veiled hostility behind the "use pretty words" rubbish you've been posting as a stock response to negative feedback is very unprofessional and disappointing to see here. The existence of rude disrespectful people is not a sufficient excuse for rudeness and disrespect. Even though we're all ultimately free to behave like jerks, remember: doing so also means you're a jerk.

5 ★ I lost my chord wheel book that had a circle of fifths. This app is a great replacement that I would've never found had I not lost my book

5 ★ It is an excellent app for understand and practice harmony, is a great tool for to learn and for to teach. I love it. Good job.

1 ★ YOU can remove the banner that John was talking about. If we BUY the app, the "Paid" banner is useless.

5 ★ Has everything a music maker needs in a chord wheel! Great for the expert or beginner! Wouldn't change a thing!

5 ★ as far I can tell. Bought full version to support development.

5 ★ Great work devlopers, i like it very much. It is very creative. Thank you very much.
