## Description

Fingering is the most comprehensive fingering charts app for brass and woodwinds, offering instant fingerings (including alternates and trills) for the entire playable range, shown in written or concert pitch, with visual guides to key names and finger positions.

With Fingering, you can touch a note on the staff to reveal its fingering or play a concert pitch on the piano to display the written note. Navigate alternate fingerings, hear playback of notes and trills, mute for silent practice, and explore fingerings for a full set of woodwind and brass instruments. A valuable tool for teachers, students, and music enthusiasts.

## Review summary

Users broadly praise Fingering as a comprehensive, accurate fingering reference that educators rely on. They value its alternate fingerings, trills, chromatic options, and instructional usefulness, plus recent updates (mute button, trombone support). However, recurring issues include incomplete or inconsistent fingerings across ranges and instruments, frequent audio problems (no instrument sounds), and requests for broader coverage (more fingerings, extended ranges, additional instruments). Some note UI and labeling refinements would help, but the core app remains a valued teaching tool when its fingerings and audio work reliably.

### Pros

- Comprehensive fingering reference with alternate fingerings and trill options across many instruments.
- Accurate and highly valued by educators; trusted teaching resource.
- Broad instrument coverage makes it an essential teaching and demonstration tool for band directors and students.
- Ongoing improvements and useful updates, including new features like the mute button and expanded instrument support (e.g., tenor/bass trombone) and chromatic fingerings.
- Good value for money; widely regarded as worth the purchase.

### Cons

- Fingerings are incomplete or inconsistent across instruments and ranges; many notes and alternate fingerings are missing or incorrect (altissimo, sax D-flat, etc.).
- Frequent audio issues: no sound or instrument sounds failing to play on multiple devices.
- Requests for expanded coverage and more fingerings (more instruments, extended range, additional alternate fingerings) to make it truly comprehensive.
