It wont change instruments. Crashes and goes back to home page. It wont go to settings. Crashes and goes back to my home page.

WAS a great app

I have always used this for uke, but I recently have been learning to play guitar. Unfortunately, the app crashes when I try to switch instruments. I can still use it for uke, but it will not work for guitar or any of the other instruments. Tap to switch=instant crash. โ˜น๏ธ

Fantastic Simple Perfect App!

I downloaded this app a couple of years ago and love its simple clean interface especially when Iโ€™m looking for some weird chord voicing. I use it all the time. The link to the paid version doesnโ€™t work and I donโ€™t think it prompted me to pay for the ad free version so thought it was fallow unsupported app and was dreading the day it finally broke with an iOS update.

Anyway I was just upgrading an iPad and clicked on the developer to find there is a paid version, which I couldnโ€™t buy for fast enough. There is no option to review the paid app so Iโ€™m leave this one here.

I appreciate the app so much and have used for years. I would happily give it six stars if I could and would have paid twice the price now know how useful it is to me.

My only one little gripe if you Devs read this; there has to be Fsus2 open voicing and alternate odd open chords is usually what I use this app most for. You also might wanna fix that link or put some upgrades prompts in.

Thanks again for a great simple app with a fantastic UI!

No longer allows change of instrument without crashing the app

Well use to be great but now crashes any time you try to select instrumentโ˜น๏ธ

Baritone

I love this app, using it for Ukulele chords.
It would be so good if it had the Baritone Ukulele chords as well.
I have not found a good app for Baritone chords yet.
