Super useful for learning scales. It's nice that you can set custom tunings and even mandolin or banjo as well - it makes learning those instruments easier if you're a guitar person. The test mode is great for quizzing yourself and the full mode is really good for studying and looking for patterns. Overall a great tool that anyone serious about learning scales on guitar/bass/etc could find great use from.
