This is an important app on Steam. Scale Enchanter introduces users to many basic and important scales. Low memory cost and processing power help in keeping this app helpful and compact. There are also achievements for doing these scales so one can log when a scale was first discovered and completed for personal record-keeping.

As a pro, I will say that this game is so cheap that I won't even bother with the refund.
I really didn't want to hate this game, but I really can't recommend it. If you know the scales or how to build them, you'll know how to "win", if you don't then you are SOL. There's no logic nor puzzle to this game, unless you already know the answers. It would be nice a little theory section that helps somebody that wants to learn, or if that's not the point, some kind of measurement system so you know if you've improved in recognizing the correct notes, or maybe a way to hear and compare the scale given with the one you have built to hear an error at least.
But no, there's no point to this game. Nothing learnt, nothing to improve your skills, nothing that makes you want to go and learn for yourself... nothing but a bunch of scales without context.
(They are even in the order of the Circle of fifths, so the devs must know something about music, but then, no context whatsoever)
I really hope the devs improve and expand this game.
Will keep playing for a bit to see if I missed something but I highly doubt it.
Edit 1: I'm changing my mind and recommending this, even a direct approach as this, is better than no game.
Edit 2: No, sorry, I can't some scales are written incorrectly... I don't stand by this anymore. <-- Edit: this is supposedly fixed by the dev since (haven't checked, didn't bother to reinstall, but good on the dev on maintaining the game after release)

The game revolves around your ability to complete like musical scales, probably one of the most amazing games when it comes to training scales, if you are in this musical learning process you should definitely check out this game!

Looks like the game has had some updates since many of the initial reviews were posted. Each level/scale now has an explanation of how the scale works, making it a very logical process to construct the scales. Was surprisingly fun, and took me back to my childhood piano lessons.

I played through all the major and minor scales, and then part of the harmonic minor. It's fine.
Probably good for students trying to learn the patterns in musical scales, but it's not great for professional musicians.
One thing I wish it'd let you do is skip around. If I were a student, I'd like to learn what "major melodic" is without having to rehash learning all of major, minor, harmonic minor, and melodic minor. Especially if I already have learned it.
7/10, overall good, but some things left to be desired.

I don't know anything about sheet music, but I'm evolving by trying to use logic, as I would like to know how to play a musical instrument.

Well, inexpensive and useful educational devices are hard to dislike.
