Update needed

Would have given 5 stars but this app will soon no longer be compatible with IOS and will slow the operating system. Wish the developers would update.

Excellent

Very accurate. Only have to edit out a couple of chords. The capo facility is very useful as is the tempo change. Only modification I would suggest is to have a loop facility. Five stars

App should be free

Please update the app or make it free. Seriously. Besides, there's a lot of potential here if you improve this thing, make it more accurate, offer more features like bass tabs etc. I don't recommend this app currently. It is inaccurate.

Pointless Waste of Money

Utterly useless. Please do not waste your cash on this. Spend it on a lottery ticket. You have more chance of winning that than if this getting anything close to accurate.

Not what I was expecting

I was expecting to be able to play a chord on my guitar and for the app to be able to detect what chord I was playing. The only reason I wanted to buy it. Plus the songs from my music library won't load.

App not working with Apple Music

Please fix the app so that it works with Apple Music! Love the app it's just not working right now.

Not usefull even on simple pieces

Im a intermediate guitar player and wanted help with picking up some standard tunes. Nothing too exotic. This app tries. But just isnt accurate enough to be useful. Maybe if it gave the key sig. for the song i could fix its errors as i go along but it doesnt.

So maybe if theres a slow recording of a single acoustic guitar track playing very very simple chords no faster than half notes i will open it?

Good idea though.

Student

I'm a beginner (2yrs) and I had a lot of hard time to guess notes of songs. It helped me a lot and I think it can be a useful tool for any beginner who can't guess notes just by listening the song. Thanks for the app!!

App Works great

I use this app to determine the Key and Chords for church songs so I can learn to play along with my Harmonica. Is the app perfect No. But it determines about 90 % of the correct chords. I use it everyday, well worth the price.

Meh

If you have musical knowledge you can sometimes pick out the few real chords that are accurate. But now whatever version this is can't keep up and the videos aren't even converting anymore. It stays stuck on "verifying" even when you cancel and go back.
