Features & Capabilities

Piano Companion is a music theory app which helps songwriters, producers, teachers and their students. It’s a flexible piano chords and scales dictionary with user libraries, reverse mode, the circle of 5ths, chord progression builder with common patterns. If you can’t remember the name of a piano chord or scale, this app helps you to find it by keys or using your external MIDI keyboard. For example, just press C, G and you will get C Major as the first piano chord in the search result. If you don’t see a piano chord or a specific scale, you can create a custom piano chord or scale and use it for chord charts or your user library.

User Reviews

App is a standout reference for music theory, especially scales and chords, with reverse lookup and circle of fifths; praised for learning support and frequent updates. The most persistent issue is instability in the chord progression feature, which disrupts usage for many users.
Pros
  • Comprehensive reference for scales and chords with broad coverage and fingerings.
  • Excellent reverse lookup feature for chords/scales.
  • Great learning tool; supports practice, composition, and idea generation.
  • Strong circle of fifths and well-organized theory; supports favorites.
  • Responsive developers with frequent updates and good support; worth the upgrade.
Cons
  • Chord progression feature is frequently unstable and often kicks you out of the progression window or disrupts playback.

I enjoy the app but chord progression feature is unusable because the app randomly kick you out of the chord progression window into the menu, even if I don’t press anything. I wish the developer can fix this and I would re-rate
