  • No hold function

    This is an otherwise lovely app that is missing a key function: a hold, or “organ” mode for chords. Implementing that would make the difference between this being a gimmick and an actually useable instrument. Right now it’s the former, unfortunately.
  • Excellent

    Drums sound like your playing your great-grandmother’s 1980’s home organ (my experience being a Lowrey M-375 Parade organ). Separate reverb mix knobs for chord section and drums gives that Beach House feel. The underlying tones are pretty similar to the basic saw/square wave tones of Reverb Machine’s RM-20 (or better yet, the original Yamaha PS-20 (or PS-30)). Plenty of tone-shaping capabilities to change the chord section and the solo sections. And YES you can smoothly go between a major chord and a minor chord (and a metric crap-ton of other chords) ...it’s all in how you “press” and choose to “release” your fingers from the chording buttons. I really like that the solo key-buttons change notes to the chords that are being played (allows you to hit more correct notes more often than not). But if you want wrong notes just record the chords and then record your solo part on another track in the DAW or whatever you use.

  • Simple but good

    I’m a songwriter and musician, and yes I get what another reviewer means by circle of fifths, but if your looking for a simple and cheap sounding Omnichord app, then this is it. Have wanted to use one as Matt Johnson of The The has for years without the high cost of actually buying a real one, and this has enabled me to incorporate the sound into my recordings. There is my only gripe though, it would be so useful if it was inter app enabled so you could use it within such as GarageBand. I’m having to go an old fashioned way around this and either mike up or direct into a daw.

  • The strum strip doesn’t work like an omnichord

    Notes should be mapped in circle of fifths to make sense of transposition. The omnichord layout makes much more sense of music. The strum strip isn’t a simple scale on an omnichord the steps are different. The drums aren’t consistent and the timing jumps and it feels glitchy. The sounds are just awful. It’s the only good thing about it ;/) Suzuki must be turning in his grave! Actually, I really need a refund ..

  • Useleaa

    This doesn't work at all as you'd expect. There's no smooth way to do chord changes if you have to push a key and then a chord button while each makes a noise, so it's essentially useless. Also no hold function. Looks nice though.
  • Just ok. Not very usable

    The reason there isn't a trial is because you wouldn't buy it. No locking function, can't smoothly transition from major/minor chords, drums are crap. You won't be playing any songs on this : (
  • Limited way behind it's time.

    For a product that cost 5 dollars. I honestly expected more. No midi connectivity. This would have been acceptable in the early days of iOS. So I say it is a certainly a waste of money folks. There are so many other great apps worth your time by big names too. Unfair review because this is purely based on price. I will rate this again if they make it free or they completely update the features but for now. Trash.

  • Mr

    This app is awesome! I've wanted an omnichord for years and this one is perfect. Easy to use, literally open and play. Rhythm machine is great too, so you can jam on it by yourself or with others for hours. Can be used both recreationally and professionally. Can't wait to compose and record with it!

  • Great chord app!

    I love this app! It's really fun and easy to play. I don't know how to play a keyboard irl but with this I can make music that actually sounds good right away. It's cool for jamming with friends too because they can tell me which chords are in a song and I can play along improvisationally. It's pretty similar to the omnichord if you've seen that.
