Capo

Locks Up and Crashes

Great App! Today, tracks began locking up/app crash while running a Line 6 Mobile Pod 2.0 in the background. First time with a problem. Please fix ASAP! Otherwise, love the app. Can't live without!

Great App!

This is a fantastic app for learning new songs!!!!! Thanks SMUG!

I was excited to get this app as my ear isn't the best at picking out odd chords. However, after testing this with various songs, I found that in most of the cases I tried, it was blatantly wrong when compared to published sheet music for the song. It worked for simple 12 bar blues and simple rhythms. With more complex songs, it was effectively useless. I gave it an extra star as slowing down and defining loopable sections in songs are useful features for practicing.

I love playing ukulele & guitar with this App!

This is a fantastic app for those who like to play along with songs on your phone. I have had so much fun using it and it has helped me to play more expressively.

Love Capo

Really motivates me to play guitar every day.

Classic app, but with great new features

This app is great for learning songs and solos, sure, but I love it just for analyzing songs I love—listening to different parts of the stereo field, slowing it to where I hear effects more clearly, and discovering new chord progressions. The iCloud syncing with the Mac version is good, and I highly recommend buying Capo for both iOS and Mac!

Liked the first version of Capo but LOVE the latest. It even gives you chord blocks which helps the newer players.

It's okay

This would be so much better with the isolation methods on the desktop version. I, admittedly, regret this purchase.

Great sound, but incomprehensible

I've had Capo for years. Used to use it a lot, but due to an injury couldn't use recently. Pulled the new version out to learn part of a song, and the interface is completely different and not at ALL discoverable. I will go look on the web for an introduction to this inscrutable layout. Here's an example. You've got a popup control called R+. When you press on it, it pops up more buttons: B+, V+, and C+. No explanation of what R, B, V and C are. And guess what? It's a popup! You could actually use words, they'd take no room except when you had them popped up. The main controls have to be swiped back and forth. There's plenty of vertical room to put everything in the bottom 1/6 of the screen, but instead you have to swipe left and right constantly and look for where options are hidden behind all the controls. You used to be able to loop an arbitrary portion of a song. No more. It "snaps" to measures, even if you don't want it to. Want to fine tune your "A" and "B" points? No more. Press R+ and it creates a region. But the region doesn't start where the cursor it, it goes back to the start of a "measure". Maybe that's accurate in pop music, but it's deplorably bad in classical music with continuous tempo changes. After you've defined a region, you can edit it, sort of. You can move the start of the region, but not the end, if it's at the end of the song. You can't access help while you're still in a project. Want to figure something out? Quit what you're doing! Go all the way out to the main menu to look at the help (which isn't available on the web, so you can't look at it on your computer while you work on your iphone). Then reload your project, and nothing that isn't persisted with the project (button states etc.) is as you left it. My hobby isn't Capo, it's music. I'd bet cash money they didn't test this redesign with a single user who wasn't already a Capo lover. To get around the horrible looping, I guess I'll have to load a song in a waveform editor, then save the section I want and load THAT in Capo. I assume it'll loop the part I want if I've created it as a separate file, though I'm nervous it'll force the repeats to its randomly-selected beat detection instead of just looping the whole thing. I'm fortunate they renamed it, because I can still use the old version. But that horizon is limited - iOS already warns me the app is outdated and may decrease performance...

Just terrific

I mostly use this for repeating and practicing parts, but I have to say the beat detection and pitch modification are quite good -- makes it trivial to practice that annoying Eb song in E without tuning down a half-step. Worth every penny. Occasionally expensive app store apps are worth it, this is one of those times.
