### 2/5 — Severe technical issues here

*2025-03-22*

I heard this months ago and have come back to see that nothing has changed. Whenever you tap on a cord, about every fourth one you hear four fast distortion sounds. Then on many of the first position chords, the a string on the ukulele when it is not pressed, it sounds like the string is muted and doesn’t ring out. If I were to buy this app, I would need it to be fixed. App developers – 
Do you have plans to fix these issues? I suspect not, since nothing got fixed in five months.

### 1/5 — Unpleasant surprise

*2021-07-06*

I bought the App, love it.  But for the second time, I am locked out of the paid for information.  Unlock and you get a 5 star rating from me.  But why do you lock me out?

### 5/5 — A nice surprise

*2021-04-07*

I was searching for a baritone ukulele app and couldn’t find a good one but this one was a nice surprise. It has all the thing/chords I am looking. The free version with the commercials is very good. I will recommend this to any baritone ukulele chord seeker. 
This app does not teach you how to play baritone ukulele, though.

### 5/5 — Incredible App

This has amazing versatility and range of chords for Baritone Uke, even with a reverse chord finder. The ability to toggle between fingering, note name and scale number is terrific too!

### 5/5 — Easy fast baritone ukulele chords
