Clear chord diagrams with fingering and individual notes. Store favourite chords for quick look-up. Some UI fixes required: the text contrast on the key selector dial is low, so it’s difficult to read; for chords on the 10th fret the number 10 is only partially visible. Slash chords are only available in the key of C, please add for other keys too. ### 5/5 — Great guitar app *2013-07-18, version 1.6* Very handy reference for guitarists. ### 5/5 — Five star app *2013-07-02, version 1.6* I use this guitar app all the time. It not only help me finding difficult or seldom used chords but helps me use chords in different positions on the fret board expanding my vocabulary. This is a perfect app if you are like me and play at a novice level. Great job! ### 3/5 — Good UI but crashes a lot *2013-06-24, version 1.6* crashes way too often but nice simple clean UI ### 5/5 — No brainer *2013-06-17, version 1.6* It's cheap, it works and is a life save for non-guitarist. Buy it. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2013-06-12, version 1.6* Very helpful tool (especially for a rookie guitarist) to learn fret and finger positions. ### 5/5 — Outstanding *2013-05-18, version 1.6* Does just what you need it to do, has multiple voicings. Love it! ### 5/5 — Awesome App *2013-05-04, version 1.6* Love it!! Use it all the time, probably used it 2nd to my tuner!!! ### 5/5 — Xxzx *2013-04-16, version 1.6* Super complete I compared all no better one out there very find job I love it thanks! ### 4/5 — Great app *2013-04-14, version 1.6* Very helpful ### 5/5 — Awesome -a must have *2013-04-13, version 1.6* I have it installed on all my devices-as a newbie to guitar but an old school bass player-I never leave home without-$.99 or even at $4.99 a steal ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — What? *2026-02-06, version 1.9* Please have it updated. I like this up but not like this. It’s not working at all. ### 1/5 — Not functioning?? *2025-12-23, version 1.9* Went to open today. App opens but basically blank graphics. ### 1/5 — Just a Blank White Screen. Does not work. *2023-12-01* This app does not work. It displays a blank white screen with a yellow star. It won’t do anything else. It is completely worthless. Save your money. This is a complete dud! ### 1/5 — Screen *2022-07-05* Please update the screen. Having white letters on a white background makes it look like the app isn’t working. Just used this for the first time in years and took me 20 minutes and a google search to figure out why it wasn’t working. ### 1/5 — Not up to date *2022-03-12* This app used to be one of my favorites, but the developers have not kept it updated. It will not open on my iPhone 13 pro or my iPad Pro. Too bad… they had a good app at one time. ### 1/5 — Alex *2021-12-14* Nothing shows up and crashes each time I click anywhere on the screen ### 1/5 — It seems like this app doesn’t work anymore *2021-08-14* I used to use this App all the time, it was one of the original apps that I purchased with my original iPhone 3. My last iPhone went for a swim in the river, and I can’t get the app to work on any of my new phones…does it still work? ### 1/5 — Absolute crap *2009-01-04, version 0* Either I'm doing something wrong or this application is a waste of money. Compared the chords to a chord bible and most of them were wrong. Some had the right fretting but the wrong strings and others were just nonsense ### 2/5 — iOS 14 *2021-06-07* Quit working on my iPhone 8 bummer! ### 2/5 — Incomplete *2011-01-02, version 1.4* I just got this app hoping it would include at least the most popular chord splits, say, E/G, D/G, G/A, etc. It only has chord split combination for C/! I don't understand why apparently there aren't any guitar chords apps out there that include all split chord combinations. I own Guitartool (full version), which lacks the same split chord features. Disappointing. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — My Fav guitar app *2023-02-07* Simple to use. Covers beginners to pro level chords and voicings in all keys, and multiple fingerings for each. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2021-11-29* When I bow loaded app and opened it I didn’t see anything. There are actually white letters under star. ### 5/5 — Handy *2014-12-10, version 1.6* When I come across a chord I do not know, within seconds I have multiple variations of it. Very handy tool. ### 5/5 — Best app I own! *2013-12-04, version 1.6* Awesome chord app! I find myself referring to this app often. Makes learning to play a bit easier! ### 5/5 — Handy Dandy *2013-11-01, version 1.6* Great app with enough chord variations to keep you jamming for a long time. Your hands will hurt too much to keep playing before you use them all up. ### 5/5 — 7 chords app *2013-10-20, version 1.6* Great app. Always works, shows many inversions of the chord in different fret locations, included the theory information like the name of the notes and the number position of the note, fingering and it plays each chord in arpeggios so you can hear each note of the chord. Get it great reference. ### 5/5 — Top app *2013-09-21, version 1.6* As Tina said "simply the best" easy to use and shows most of the common chords and even plays them ### 5/5 — Works. *2013-08-22, version 1.6* Works for me very well. ### 5/5 — Super! *2013-08-15, version 1.6* Love it. Easy to use and works great on iPhone and iPad. I use it in the classroom as well. ### 5/5 — Use it. It's great *2013-07-29, version 1.6* I use this all the time to review different ways to get to same chord.
