HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (9.4 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

Store description

ScaleBank puts scales in your pocket. Major, minor, pentatonic. Play guitar better, design new riffs and practice anywhere. Includes acoustic and electric guitars, plus full support for left-handed players. Scroll up and down a full 24-fret fretboard, while you play crisp, clear audio samples of dozens of scales and patterns. Support for Major, Minor, Melodic Minor, Melodic Major, Whole Tone, Pentatonic Major, Hexatonic Blues (you might call it "Pentatonic Blues", or just "Blues", but there are six notes, so it's "Hexatonic"), Pentatonic Minor, major modes like Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Locrian. Exotic scales like Egyptian, Persian, Hirajoshi, and more. Many of ScaleBank's features are free but, for just $4.49 per month or $35.99 per year, a ScaleBank All Access subscription provides full access to all scales, patterns, and drills. If you decide to purchase a subscription to ScaleBank All Access, an initial payment will be charged to your iTunes account. Your subscription will automatically renew unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current subscription period. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of each subscription period, at a rate of $4.49 per month or $35.99 per year. You can turn off auto-renewal at any time via your iTunes Account Settings. You can find our privacy policy at https://chordbank.com/privacy, and our terms of service at https://chordbank.com/terms-of-service. We hope ScaleBank helps you play your best, learn, practice, and play guitar the way you've always wanted to.
