### 3/5 — Cluttered new look

*2024-05-14, version 7.1.0*

A lovely app that isn’t really usable to me anymore as the interface is less easy to see with older eyes. It’s cluttered. Shame.
Horrible flashing adds too are very distracting but not worth removing now. Was a good app

### 4/5 — Latest Update

*2024-04-29*

Latest update has made an already good app, even better.

### 4/5 — 4 stars

*2019-05-06*

To be perfect, it would be necessary to add customizable tuning and allow up to 8 strings. Ex.D, G, C, F, C, F, Bb, d.

### 2/5 — Плохо

*2019-03-21*

Функционал неплохой, но пользоваться им из-за УЖАСНОГО интерфейса оооочень тяжело. Автор, явно, не имеет представления о юзабилити. Две звезды за старание и бесплатность.

### 2/5 — Misleading

*2016-01-25*

App is a great idea but it really should be marked with 'in app purchases'

You only get scales/chords for C in default, other notes require purchase.

### 5/5 — Very useful

*2016-01-02*

It's a very good app, especially for a free one. The reverse chord finder is very useful for figuring out more complicated jazz chords such as dominant 9s and 11s, and the database is the largest I've seen out of all the free chord-find applications           .

### 5/5 — Great

*2015-11-10*

It's great. Has all the chords, I just wish that it had an option to sound each chord you have selected.

### 5/5 — The standard by which all guitar chord/scale apps should be judged

*2015-07-27*

This has been the best chord/scale app I've found in the App Store, from the chord finder feature to the ease of use and plethora of chords this is a great investment and well worth purchasing the full version.

### 4/5 — Great app, but..

*2015-07-24, version 2.1.0*

Great app for all guitar players. But I was surprised that there's no drop C in alternate tunings, it's very popular in modern rock/metal music. Of course there's possibility to set custom tuning, the only problem is that if you do this, pages chords, triads and quiz still show everything in standard E tuning. If they fix it I will upgrade to full version and give it 5 stars:)

### 5/5 — Extremely useful tool to have around!

*2015-06-15*

It has a user interface that takes some getting used to but when you learn how to use it this app can become you're best friend! Every chord possible and you can alter the chord to whatever tuning you like to use! 5/5

### 5/5 — Get This

*2015-06-13*

I am thrilled to have found this app.  I no longer have to search around for chord variations, it shows chord progressions for writing and experimenting,and much more I haven't explored yet.  There's no annoying ads and no up-selling - just one clean and honest app!

### 5/5 — Great looking  guitar chords app 

*2015-03-01, version 2.1.0*

Useful app  There r many chords for u to learn, it's accurate. Best free guitar chords app for sure . Love the fact there is no banner ads 

### 5/5 — Really great app

*2015-02-26*

I can't say enough good things about this app. Its  a complete reference guide and its pretty easy to understand. ( i would say im an intermediate guitar player that understands very basic music theory.)

### 5/5 — Complete tool box for guitare player

*2015-02-01*

Must have

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — was great , not anymore

*2025-09-08*

was really great before the latest upgrade were they underhandedly changed the User interface and removed a lot of things just to push you to buy additional stuff. Now the app is just a mean to make money. I switched to another App a much better one.Bye bye.

### 1/5 — No Longer Great

*2024-08-21*

Was a great app for a long time, but after the overhaul it’s become almost useless. Can’t identify anything beyond the most basic chords. Chords that it once had no problem naming now come up blank.

### 1/5 — Ruined the app

*2024-06-09*

Idk what this new update was but it’s super clunky, tons of popups and it also doesn’t recognize chords that have commonly omitted notes. Used to love this app but it’s nearly unusable now.

### 1/5 — No longer a “long-time” user

*2024-04-24*

I have used this app occasionally for many years. It comes in handy from time to time. I have even suggested it to students. 
Not any longer. 
There has been a recent update or “overhaul”. It is a completely different, add-driven app. 
I understand the need to sell the product. Add revenue in the free version is just too much. It is worse than the add-driven games. 
I only use it on occasion. It really isn’t worth it to me.

### 1/5 — Where's the music

*2015-08-04, version 2.1.0*

Great reference but, no sound. Music is about sound so, where is it?

### 1/5 — slow and useless after update

*2015-01-15, version 2.0*

Landscape mode is a waste of space. It's slower and the selecting chord UI is unintuitive. If you haven't updated yet, don't

### 1/5 — Just hangs

*2014-11-04, version 1.0*

Rubbish  app. After opening it does nothing, doesn't react to any touch input. Uninstalled.

### 1/5 — This is a teaser app

*2013-01-05*

Only sounds the strings if you pgrade.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2012-12-20, version 1.0*

Very few chords and difficult to navigate.

### 1/5 — Ridiculously outdated app

*2012-10-24*

Apple should put in place app store policy that removes all apps 
that have not been update in the last 5 months or more to address ios compatability issues and failure to support ios devices features.  

Apps like these are littering the apps store and dont even work with the current version of ios or are extremely buggy. By apple failing to police these bad developers it's basically admitting it condones these type of practices by these bad developers.

### 5/5 — Highly reccomend

*2026-05-09, version 7.0.1*

Really helpful tabs, chords, scales, and even has a quiz for your chord knowledge! Has no ads- Even though there’s a premium option, you still get a wide range of free choices- which I love. Very underrated app.

### 5/5 — Супер

*2026-02-07*

Удобно находить аккорды

### 5/5 — A must-have for any guitarist!

*2024-04-24*

All Guitar Chords is a must-have for any guitarist! With a vast chord library, intuitive features like a chord finder and virtual guitar, and a user-friendly interface, this app has revolutionized my practice sessions. Whether you're a beginner or advanced player, it's an invaluable tool for improving your skills and expanding your musical horizons. Highly recommended! Plus, if you're serious about your craft, consider upgrading to the pro version—it's worth every penny for the extra features and enhancements it offers.

### 5/5 — Super appli

*2021-03-01*

Tous les accords tous les modes dorien,ionien Lydien,phrygien myxolidien,éolien,locrien et dans toutes les tonalités en plus de tous les accords majeurs,mineurs suspendus et tout et tout.C’est vraiment la meilleure application que j.ai jamais vue,il y même les renversements d’accords.Topissime.

### 5/5 — AMAZING for songwriting. Ad-free, free, everything you need.

*2020-06-01*

This app is absolutely AMAZING! Download it now! The interface is not that user friendly, but for all the pros, I really can't complain. It offers everything the other apps make you pay for, for free, and WITHOUT ADS. Very, very complete. You have tons of chord diagrams (diminished, augmented, power chords, sus6 and even more weird stuff) available in different variations along the fretboard. You have suggested scales for each of these chords and all info about them (root note and so on). Scales and their chords plus their number (I, ii, iii etc). You have a reverse chord finder ("I played this weird chord and it sounded good how's it called?") that works beautifully. You can save favorite chords. You have access to many, many different tunings and can even save custom ones. And a lot more. Let me say it again - all this for free, without ads. Developers, thank you so much. You guys are incredibly generous. Practicing songwriting is a hundred times easier thanks to you. ❤️

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2017-09-11, version 2.1.0*

Had it for ages , just started using it. It's already helped me suggest scales to go with a given key. 

Not complaints but opinions here:
Not so keen on the colour scheme , the 'Submit ' button would look nicer if a bit more towards a corner. 

But as the app goes i shall be upgrading for 'even more' scales! 

Fantastic free app! Couldn't wish for a better one!

### 5/5 — All Chords is all you need!!

*2017-04-19, version 2.1.0*

All Chords is an amazing app, hands down. It contains all you need to learn guitar legitly. From Chords to triads to scales, arpeggios all that good stuff. I really love the tuning feature and how it gives you the actual chords and scales for different tunings. Other apps don't offer that and trust me I've searched. The best part is that it's free. I've also never had trouble with the app. Once you get the hang of it, you can be on your way to great learning and with that great playing. I fkn love this app I've been using it for years and I will continue to do so for as long as I can play guitar. Get this app ASAP!!!!!!

### 5/5 — The robust chord app for professionals

*2016-07-20*

This is the full featured guitar chord app you have been looking for.

### 5/5 — Excelente!

*2016-06-19*

Procurei e fiz o download de vários programas do tipo é esse é sem dúvidas o mais completo dos que eu experimente. E ainda por cima é grátis, não poderia ser melhor.

### 5/5 — Отлично

*2016-05-09*

Все нашёл или почти все нашел
