"Absolutely phenomenal. This is better than any YouTube video, podcast, or music theory book I have read. This truly helps you find an actionable way to put music theory to practice. Within 48 hours using this app I have actually comprehended what is being taught with this app far beyond any previous comprehension for past products. Honestly they could charge more than double the amount and it would be totally worth it." —Artice, May 3, 2022

Awesome work all round" —thatboyswiss, Jan. 8, 2019

"The app is very smooth, and a great resource for learning more about music theory. I found the scale exercises to be very helpful, and I suspect Ill go back to them as a way of keeping those skills sharp." —Sean Garland (iOS MARS)

"I have probably spent thousands of dollars perfecting tone on pedals, instruments, amps and apps, posters, printed media, online courses. The BEST PURCHASE has been your Waay app." —A.P., Apr. 1, 2020

Latest version Waay: Learn music theory: 3.3.1

Heres whats new in this update:
• Exercise Difficulty. Each exercise in Waay has been tweaked: some are now easier, others are more challenging. But overall I think the skill required to get three stars is now much more consistent from exercise to exercise.
• Backspace Button. Anytime a question has a multi-part answer, you get a backspace button!
