Chord! App Reviews

Awesome app. Best of its kind for any device. Much better than GuitarToolkit, recommend it to every musician I play with. Great developer support too, love that this is one of the first apps to be updated for my 6+!!

I am not a stringed instrument player, they have confounded me for decades (honestly its a cognitive disconnect). But with this tool I finally feel in command. I tell it what I want to play and how I want to play it and it shows me how to accomplish that goal. I tell it that I want to see what that song would look like on a completely different instrument or tuning and it shows me... Fantastic. The app itself is deep and complex and could benefit from some simplification in the UI. If I had not been someone who has been using computers for music since the 80s I might have been a bit more lost. As it turned out, I still found it challenging. The developer needs better documentation and a good set of how to movies right away. To avoid people getting frustrated. I did have a problem with the app not showing me common fingerings of basic mandolin and ukulele chords but I emailed the developer and got a response that was honest and clear the same day. I am confident he is actively working on this project and dedicated to making it better. Good thing too, because it is great. If this had been available 30 years ago I would be calling myself a string player today.

This app is truly incredible. I still cant believe how much information and how many features it has, and youll be able to learn as much or as little about music theory as you want. Great for writing and covering songs! If youre a musician, you need this app!

Ive been playing guitar for 30 years, self taught. This is the best reference for stringed instrument chords Ive come across. Any chord that is possible, and some that almost arent, can be found here. Its amazing. I could live without the songbook aspect of it. For that I would prefer Songbook pro or onSong.

Also has some problems when generating chords for ukulele. The accuracy can be a bit off - Am for example

This is an amazing update to an already amazing app. I especially love the new songwriter feature, iPad compatibility, and iCloud sync! This is the best reference app I have ever used for guitar and many other stringed instruments! It is packed with features and beautifully designed and executed. The way the app calculates chords and scales instead of storing an image for each one opens it up to so many possibilities, from quick chord analysis to reverse searches (inputting the notes youre playing to find out what chord it is). I just love this app!

This is a fantastic app that just got much better with the latest update. Not only were great new features added, but some minor save and backup bugs were fixed by a very responsive developer. Outstanding app. Indispensable for a guitar player/songwriter.

My favorite guitar instruction tool. Has almost everything this will keep u busy. The dev is very helpful and assures what the app is missing such as arpeggios is coming. Cant replace this

This app is a great resource for learning scales and chords and for visualizing music theory. Interface is clean. Reverse lookup that allows you to input noted on the fretboard to find chords/scales is amazing.

So complicated to use, the UI is so frustrating to navigate and reverse chord function does not work.

Well they just took $5 out of my pocket.. Good job you ripped me off... Dont make the same mistake I did.. There arent many songs and the app is anything but intuitive. I dont even know what Im going to do with this junk now. Even the sound is bad..

Great job! All you need in box! Special thanks for the best SongBook at AppStore!

Very good app but there are a couple things I wish it had. For writing songs I wish it had a tab style document. Also the reverse chord lookup does not work as well as I thought it would. Then lastly, I wish it had more descriptions on what makes a key of a song and what 5, 7, and 9 mean. This is not the greatest for beginners/mediocre players. Overall great app for reference and more advanced players.

Just Buy, It Really Works.

I am sure this is a great APP if you can figure out the UI. I just gave up after a few hours to f tinkering. If you are a beginner like me, there are cheaper and easier methods to learn Chords.

This is a very deep and powerful app, especially for the price. The interface can be tricky at times, but eventually I always figured out how to do what I wanted.

I have been playing guitar for about 8 years and I use this app all of the time. It makes for an exceptional reference tool and is worth every penny I paid for it. The app has a great flow and feel to it and the interface is very pleasing visually and functionally. There really isnt anything quite like this app on the App Store. Though this app may not be the greatest for beginners, I still say that this app is a MUST HAVE for ANY guitar player, regardless of skill level, mostly because of its ability to generate tons of chord voicings in whatever tuning youre using. Plus, you can have 10 string tunings for maximum dj0nt. 666/10.

If youre searching for an app to keep track of your music in, stop. You found what youre looking for. This is one of the most well thought out apps Ive ever come across. You will definitely not be disappointed in this app. Five stars all day. Easy decision.

This app is very customizable, and it looks good too! I mostly just use it to look up chords, and its worth it to me just for that feature, but it has a lot of other features to. I really like to play with the different voices that it generates. It always throws me chord shapes Id never considered! I especially like that the chords are generated based on your tuning, so no matter what crazy tuning you are in, you can still find the chord you need right away. Most other chord resources are E standard or s.o.l. Also, the developer is constantly improving little things to make it all the more easy to use.

As a long time player, I was looking for something that could help my theory understanding expand as well as provide reference for modes over squirrelly chords. The app is brilliant in its simplicity, controls, presentation and logic. Im rarely deeply impressed, but this is truly a world class treasure that is now on all my iOS devices. While it does not offer any deep treatise on theory, the linkages between the cords, their harmonics and scalar modes, provides all the necessary substance with no filler. No long winded blathering, just the facts (all easy to find, thoughtfully related and cross referenced) Thank you for offering such a fantastic, easy to use, artistically thoughtful app!
