### 5/5 — Best Piano Chord App!

*2026-04-09*

I was just telling a friend about this app yesterday and couldn't find it anywhere. I was bummed because it has been a great resource to me.

But this morning I saw an update and behold it was back on the App Store!! I am recommending it right away to my keyboard friends. Thank you for making such a great app that skips all the fuss and is VERY useful!!

### 5/5 — Great help

*2022-07-18, version 1.2.5*

Thanks for this.

### 3/5 — Good but faulty

*2022-03-20*

Smart idea for app. One thing that happens for me constantly is that there won’t be any sound coming through, and to fix it I have to exit the app and refresh then come back in, and it works. It happens every time I come into the app when it was open before, quite frustrating.

### 4/5 — needs work

*2022-02-07, version 1.2.5*

it would be nice if i can remove progretions and save audio files

### 5/5 — 作为音乐专业的大学生我觉得相见恨晚。

*2020-12-25*

一款很好的练习和弦的软件，他有和弦模式和分解模式。也有自定义模式，在我们身边没有钢琴的时候，它是绝佳选择。不清楚评分为什么这么低，但是我真心推荐音乐生使用这个软件。

### 3/5 — My Progression

*2020-11-07*

Try to delete the many mistakes, then also how can you change the inversions.  Locked up tried to name a progression.

### 5/5 — I can’t add some jazz chords to make my own progression

*2020-08-17*

Hi I really like this app but find that if I want to add a chord  — I cannot add it in the area where I can create my own progressions. It seems there are only limited chords to choose from here. I want to create 2-5-1 jazz progressions and add them. Can you fix this thanks!

### 5/5 — Wonderful

*2020-04-15*

I have been using this app since 8 months. A great app. Helps me find out the perfect chord and the variations during my work for short films and songs.

### 3/5 — Great, but what about iPhone X support?

*2019-11-25*

Love this app but would be great if the developer would add support for iPhone X type of display. It has been around for a while ;)

### 4/5 — Love the app, but..

*2019-11-13*

Hey! 

Love this app it’s really useful and has a nice design too which is really pleasant to use! One thing I wish I could do is when I’m editing personalised progressions I want to do for example Fmaj7 to Gmin7b5 But I can’t take chords from another key, something that would be extremely useful!
