About Chord Wheel: Circle of 5ths LE

The Interactive Chord Wheel is an implementation of one of the most basic and significant music theory, 'Circle of fifths' on Android. This app is uniquely designed to represent the relationship between a scale and a chord.
In the screen of this app, the Circle is made up of several concentric rings, which provides various information. By rotating the 2 rings, inner and outer, the needed information can be got easily.
The outer most ring shows information on the scale such as a tonic, a dominant, a sub-dominant, a relative minor, a relative major, and a progression of the degree. The next outer ring shows a series of note's name ordered by the progression of 5th, and the root note of a scale can be set by rotationg this ring. When rotating the outer ring, the inner ring rotates also. The next ring shows a degree of a note and a diatonic chord in that scale. By rotaing the next ring, a chord can be set. If a note name of the outer ring is touched, then a diatonic chord, of which the root note is the note, is set. Instead of the inner chord ring, a key progression ring can be displayed which is very useful when transposing a song to another key. At the center of the concentric rings, a signiture of the scale is displayed.

The direction of the circle
The direction of the key progression on a circle can be set to a CW or a CCW direction by a user.

Switchable Inner Wheel
The inner wheel can be switched when it is needed. A chord wheel, a transpose wheel, and a interval wheel are avalable.

I am just not a theory wizard right now, so I can not see all the uses of this; therefore, I say that it is okay because I do not understand it.

by C####:

Dear developer, the thinly veiled hostility behind the "use pretty words" rubbish you've been posting as a stock response to negative feedback is very unprofessional and disappointing to see here. The existence of rude disrespectful people is not a sufficient excuse for rudeness and disrespect. Even though we're all ultimately free to behave like jerks, remember: doing so also means you're a jerk.

There are other free apps out there that work just as well if not better than this one and if you have a problem with the developer they won't talk trash to you like this one does. Just go ahead and read some of the responses this developer has made to people leaving reviews. Totally classless.

While the app seems pretty useful, my phone runs buggy and slow now that it is installed. I have tried to uninstall through google play and my phones task manager several times. Half way through the uninstall my phone resets and the icon is still there. Very frustrating. ELEX, do I need to BUY the PAID version so I can UNINSTALL it?
