Poorly designed and implemented. There is no reason for this "game" to exist. For amateurs, there are far better, more fun, and not to mention free resources for learning the major/minor scales ( musictheory.net, check it out!). For pros, it's boring and brings nothing new to the table in terms of scale construction or music learning applications. I bought this on sale for like 50 cents because I am curious about music games since I am a composer but also enjoy games. It's not even worth installing though. There are also so many music theory mistakes in the game, to the point where it could be actually detrimental to someone's learning if they decided to use this as a tool for learning scales. Edit: The developer has left two comments which I'm not even going to bother responding to. It's not my job to reinstall and go through your game again to tell you which mistakes you have made. Not to be impolite, but you would have to pay me to spend time doing that. I do music for a living, ...

User Reviews
This is an important app on Steam. Scale Enchanter introduces users to many basic and important scales. Low memory cost and processing power help in keeping this app helpful and compact. There are also achievements for doing these scales so one can log when a scale was first discovered and completed for personal record-keeping.
I would like to use it to teach my students about basic music theory, but LYDIAN HAS A #4 INSTEAD OF #5 how could this mistake last for nearly one and half a year????? Hope you fix it soon
As a pro, I will say that this game is so cheap that I won't even bother with the refund. I really didn't want to hate this game, but I really can't recommend it. If you know the scales or how to build them, you'll know how to "win", if you don't then you are SOL. There's no logic nor puzzle to this game, unless you already know the answers. It would be nice a little theory section that helps somebody that wants to learn, or if that's not the point, some kind of measurement system so you know if you've improved in recognizing the correct notes, or maybe a way to hear and compare the scale given with the one you have built to hear an error at least. But no, there's no point to this game. Nothing learnt, nothing to improve your skills, nothing that makes you want to go and learn for yourself... nothing but a bunch of scales without context. (They are even in the order of the Circle of fifths, so the devs must know something about music, but then, no context whatsoever) I really hope the...
Well, inexpensive and useful educational devices are hard to dislike.
I don't know anything about sheet music, but I'm evolving by trying to use logic, as I would like to know how to play a musical instrument.
Looks like the game has had some updates since many of the initial reviews were posted. Each level/scale now has an explanation of how the scale works, making it a very logical process to construct the scales. Was surprisingly fun, and took me back to my childhood piano lessons.
Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do
The game revolves around your ability to complete like musical scales, probably one of the most amazing games when it comes to training scales, if you are in this musical learning process you should definitely check out this game!
Perhaps even too minimalistic, because it didn't really teach anything. For those who already know this stuff - this is waste of time. For those wanting to learn scales - look elsewhere. Price is not an issue but this is still not worth your time.
