Chord! App Reviews

I love using this app. For a beginner guitarist its great. I wish it had a ukulele function or version. In any case, I love it. Very nice.

This is one of the rare apps a professional can use; and the developer is very responsive.

After having this app for a few years now, Ive noticed some drawbacks that hindered the use of what could have been an awesome app. This update addresses basically all of those drawbacks from before and is now a near perfect app. The addition of fingerings for scales and arpeggios are the ones Im most excited about. Great job devs and keep up the outstanding work.

At last this app is living up to the promise of a truly professional tool. For example, trying to find the correct chords in DADGAD to accurately store Kashmir was just about impossible, now doable and fairly easily. Keep up the good work, there is still progress to be made in simplifying the user interface, and I know you are up to the challenge! Im giving five stars to express the wide scope of improvements represented in this update, the program is moving much closer to becoming my only transcribing tool. I have been playing Guitar and programming and working in the computer industry for about the same length of time, since 1982, and am still amazed when I see something I never dreamed would come during my lifetime suddenly arrive on my iPad!

Please bring back the old version of "Reverse Search" for Chords!!!!! The update has made it far less helpful. I loved how you could tap a note and hear it immediately and then swipe to play the full chord. That was such an awesome feature! Now, I have to input the note and press a button to play the chord... Please, please, please - bring back the original Reverse Chord Search!

History really doesnt work at all for chords, tunings too. Always just shows empty list and "search for something" - and for scales, that do show history, I have to favorite them for them to show up. Reverse chord lookup pls come back! And would be better with a feature to find scales by inputting a chord progression. No other app can do this except Octavian (kind of)

Just needs integration with other song banks for easier importing. This app had potential to be a one stop shop for chords, sheet music, and even some music theory lessons. Thanks developer, this app is definitely $5 well spent.

I say groovy since Im a drummer keeping the beat, but Ive got song ideas in my head! This app helps me get those tunes outta my head and to the rest of my band mates! I dont know guitar that well, this app really helps me communicate my ideas in a way guitar players understand ...thats really groovy!

I cant wait to use this more but it is definitely the most full-featured. I would love a desktop app or web interface to use for working on the .CRD files, but Ill manage! Thank you!

An awesome, indispensable and powerful app. that’s perfect for finding obscure chords for jazz chord melody arranging. Must have!

First rate app. Deep and clever.

Not only is it far and away the best guitar/stringed instrument chord and scale app on the App Store, it is one of the best apps in the App Store, period. It is obvious that hundreds of hours of work went into it and the attention to detail is very impressive.

try it guys youll never lose your money with it..

Falling more in love with this app the longer I use it. So much depth to it, I keep stumbling across powerful tools I didnt even realize were there! Fantastic app, top quality, very useful. Worth the purchase without a doubt.

Great app but I wish it had the Nashville Numeric System. A lot of great apps are missing this. Please put it in on the next update :)

The pictures dont quite show it, but there is no other app quite like this. This is the only truly modular chord finder. You do not pick from a preset list of chords, you build your own with the harmonic qualities YOU want. You can build and find chords that other apps dont even consider. The results are dynamically generated. This is the only chord app that thinks for itself. Beautiful interface and excellent features.

This is money well spent. It’s incredible how much the app provides. Be ready for a bit of a learning curve. That is not a criticism. The app is incredibly full. I had a question on accessing something on the iPad. The developer responded with the answer in under 20 minutes. YMMV - but so many apps have no support. This isn’t one of them.

I paid good money for this based on the reviews and I find it totally useless. Yes it has every possible chord you can dream of, but its way too difficult to get to them, list them or use them in a song. When you finally do manage to put them in a list it may show as note relationships rather than a chord. Huh. It has a myriad of useless features and none of them are easy to do. It requires way too many steps to do anything. Way too many menus and different kinds of lists. Overkill on menus and very lacking in ease of use. I just spent 20 minutes pressing buttons to put a small group of chords in a pallet. Then I look and its not even chord symbols in the pallet - its note relationships. Oh thats probably another needless setting I didnt know about and Im not going to waste my time doing it again! Its super difficult to add chords to a song or do anything relating to actually making music. Every thing this app does requires way too many steps. Not intuitive. Not easy to do anything. If you want to spend hours geeking out on your phone to chord symbols, youll love it. If you want something the will help you actually play the guitar, this isnt going to help. Actually after trying about every chord app available, they are all terrible and this one is probably better than the others. Great on details, terrible on usability.

Great app. Take any song with the chords in it, cut and paste, clean up with edit and the fingerize. Bam, your done. You are able to get any fingering of any chord you want, change one chord or change them all. This is one app I would never be without.

This app is very deep, which would get it a solid 5 stars if it were more intuitive to navigate. But the Byzantine nature of its design makes it "frustratingly deep" rather than "simply incredible." So while I reluctantly recommend it, its not for those looking for a fast easy reference tool.
