Launched "Cadence: Guitar Theory" ( https://cadenceguitar.com/ ) a guitar learning app with a focus on music theory in September. Currently right above that $500/month when including lifetime purchases. Had a s

I'm no expert on this subject but I don't think this is how trademark law works. If you type "Cadence" (or any other common name really) in a trademark database you will literally get hundreds of result from various coun

You're the third one to ask for it since this post so it will definitely be in the next update (in a week or so) as it should be quite easy to implement

You definitely can yes :) I'm using RevenueCat for purchases and it also handles all the cross platform stuff Hence why it could also technically work on the web with the same credentials but as I said, that's a story for another

Thanks for the info, definitely not an older device then ;) I'll see what I can do to fix that but can't reproduce at the moment I'm affraid (using iphone 12), maybe simulator will help. Will also add some better handling of

Technically the framework I'm using (flutter) is cross platform so I guess it could be possible but I'm affraid a few of the libs I use such as the ones for the audio are not and either way it would still need some adaptation to w

Thank you for the feedback There is supposed to be a short transition window when playing a new sound to prevent the popping issue. Is it on the "Note names" lesson recap? Also if you don't mind sharing your version of iPhone

If by proposed practice you mean the tidy bits of guidelines at the end of some lessons, those are mostly just general tips for beginners more than a clear plan to follow. I believe the value of the app is in learning how all those musical

Funny I've always found the technicality of the guitar to be the easier part on the contrary. Don't get me wrong, playing a piece like this cleanly and with such feel takes great skill and is probably not something I will ever be

Gut feeling I suppose ? Pricing less felt like selling it short considering I still have quite a few features and content I want to add to the app, pricing more felt too much considering it's missing aforementioned features (: I might

The intented meaning was more something like "Music theory applied for guitar" indeed but I can see the confusion

Good luck with your endeavours! Not too great, my practice time has been severely impacted by the making of this app ironically

Thanks, good ol' wordpress still does the job

No clear methodology, I just tried for every lesson to bring the topic to its bare minimum for the easy difficulty, then add one layer for normal and one more for hard when possible, if not just adding more possible answers which is not ide

Thanks ! Flutter for front-end and PocketBase on a €5/month VPS for the backend (which is not even breaking a sweat despite the blow up of this post so really happy with that) + RevenueCat for purchase handling and Sentry for error rep

Thanks, I'm not gonna lie it's probably not the best or at least should not be your only resource. It can be pretty useful if you're someone that likes understanding how things work but for pure playing skills learning to pla

I don't think the app alone will directly make you better at improvisation as this comes only from playing imo but it might make you better at practicing improvisation. Personally I find when practicing alone I often get stuck on playi

Thanks for the feedback Not sure how those app works but as others have said apps alone will probably not be enough to entirely translate to the instrument and actually practicing picking up songs or transcribing them will be needed. I can

Thanks for the feedback I'm not sure if it's allowed to post an email here so I'll refer you to the app itself: there is a "Support and contact" button on the settings page. I'm definitely interested in seeing

Thanks for the feedback Have you tried the light mode? I find it has better contrast than dark one but I might need to add an accessibility setting too The fourth icon is a head with a gear inside, it represents your progress on the pure th

Thanks, I too have subscription-itus hence the lifetime option. The subscription is mostly here for people who aren't sure and because you can't offer free trials on lifetime purchases

As the "other Tom" has said you can use the app without an account there is just a warning message telling you that if you do your progress is not backed up online. I actually shipped without this message at first and realized by

All but english and french (my native language) are machine generated yes sorry about that but there is quite a bit of text with all the lessons so I can't afford man made translations at my scale. Maybe I will find a middle ground and

Thanks a lot The app is made with flutter with mostly just the default widgets that I customized a bit. I'm not really that versed into UI/UX so I just tried to keep things simple design wise. As for performance, I didn't eve
