Pros and cons of Jazz Scale app for iPhone and iPad

Jazz Scale app good for

Really nice app to practice Jazz Scales. Dont need to wandering around to find appropriate scale.
I have not used every scales that this app has to offer, and what I have used I have enjoyed. It is great for lessons and the classroom. I love the fact that when you ask for the C#/Db scales it gives you both to look at. I have noticed that on some of the scales where there should be something like an E# it puts an F instead. I also have noticed that it lists the major bebop scale correctly, but doesnt change it for the dominate bebop scale. All-in-all I really enjoy this app. I would love it 5 stars worth if the scales were all correct.

Some bad moments

Well this seems unfinished. clumsy interface. No clue of the degree of each chords in the different scales. strange things : the aeolian & phrigyan mode are not listed under the min7 chord ? (while the are in the min chord). the idea is good but I would not recommand it
I thought this app could play music like an improvisation jazz chords but I was very disappointed. This is just a collection of chords you can find anywhere on the Internet.
I would give it more stars if these scale were playable (I mean audio playing) within the app. Nice but deserves improvement in the interface, terminology and yes, playability.
