Circle o Fifths: Music Theory

Polishing a few things.

Make Circle o Fifths yours — this update is all about personalization and polish: • 21 color themes — tap the palette to redress the entire app; a few are suspiciously reminiscent of your favorite films, albums, and bands. • Themed chord charts — the guitar and piano chord diagrams match your chosen theme and look crisper than ever. • New key badge — the center of the wheel now shows your current major and relative-minor key, plus its key signature, at a glance.

A smoother, more polished Circle o Fifths: • Your key now stays in sync everywhere — pick a key on the Chords or Progressions tab and the wheel follows right along. • Tap the 1–7 scale-degree badges on the circle to hear each chord in the current key. • A revamped tutorial now covers Piano mode and Progressions — and only appears on your first launch. • Smoother animations, refined haptics, and new glass-style touches throughout. • Plus a handful of small fixes to make everything feel just right. Enjoying the app? A quick rating means the world to a small indie developer.

• Progressions tab redesign — cleaner one-row controls (Play, BPM, Key, Loop, Metronome, Pattern) • Pick a key once — it now follows you across the Circle, Chords, and Progressions tabs • Bars per chord — tap any chord chip to hold it for 1, 2, 3, or 4 bars • Tap the BPM number to type an exact tempo • Smoother chord progression playback — chord and metronome stay locked together • Reliability fixes for iOS 17 and newer

2.0 is here, and it's got a piano and a chord progression builder! • Toggle between Guitar and Piano — sounds, diagrams, the whole shebang • New Progressions tab: build a chord progression, hit play, pretend you have a band • Strum patterns from Whole all the way to Folk and Rock, plus a built-in metronome to keep you honest • Piano chord diagrams (you know, with actual piano keys) • iPad layout glow-up • Squashed an embarrassing stereo audio bug — both speakers now invited to the party
