Why did you decide to launch with macOS Catalina?
Florian Lettner
@nadine_klaffenbock, for us it is a great opportunity to reach users that prefer the Mac setup over mobile. In addition, a bigger screen will allow the app to display more content.

?makers What are the challenges of switching from a smartphone device to the macOS Catalina?
Florian Lettner
@miriam_luisa, the user interaction moves from touching a screen to using pointer and keyboard. Additionally, the screen size is significantly bigger.

?makers, it's quite interesting to see that your app works both on mobile devices and Mac. How did you handle the interaction from touch screen to a desktop environment?
Wolfgang Damm
@markushi We needed to adapt some of the UI concepts for the desktop experience. E.g. swiping left/right is easy on a touchscreen, for desktop we added additional elements to reveal content to the left and right. Other parts were more straight forward to translate to the desktop's point and click interactions.

Do you plan to make this available for other instruments too? I'm playing piano.
Florian Lettner
@charlybr0wn Definitely. As a first step we will take this forward to bass and other string instruments first.

Does it work with other instruments. Say anything form a Drum to Percussion instrument? If no are there any plans of introducing the same anytime soon?
Florian Lettner
@naimil_shah We currently support acoustic and electric guitars. Our technology is desined in a way that it works with any instrument. We will bring the app to other instruments soon.
