### 5/5 — Awesome app!

*2025-09-27*

This is hands down the best chord app out there. I love the built in metronome feature, super helpful.

**Developer response:** Thank you! We put a lot of thought and care into it and really appreciate the feedback 🙏

### 5/5 — One of the best guitar apps.

*2025-06-29*

Amazing app! Looks and sounds great. Very interactive and has very special features. You can save your favorite chords and the built-in metronome/chord progression feature is pretty awesome, I haven’t seen that in any of the other apps.

It’s worth the in-app purchase to get all of the chords, but even the free version has way more options than other apps. 

Thanks so much for making this available to the world!

**Developer response:** Thank you! So happy to hear you’re enjoying it 🙏

### 2/5 — Playing in position

*2025-01-29*

I thought this app was going to be my saving grace to help me find and play chords in a single position to get better at playing the chord changes at one position of the fret board but it moves you all around the fret board when you change the chord.

**Developer response:** Hello, if you look for the chord in question (C Major for example) it will show you all of the closest available chords in one position before moving on to the next position. It does goes across the fretboard, but it does so systematically from one position to the next. Check the settings page to enable all inversions and strings skips for more option. If you download the full version, there are literally hundreds of variations provided for chords like C Major and many others. Hope this helps!

### 5/5 — Amazing guitar app!

Keep it up! 🤙🎸

### 5/5 — 5 stars for this app

*2022-11-12*

So far this is the best app I used, keep up the good work and upgrades .

**Developer response:** Thank you! We have some awesome new upgrades coming so stay tuned!

### 5/5 — Love it But…

*2022-05-18*

I would really appreciate being able to “like” certain chord voicings so that I may reference them more quickly as there are so many to go through. this is not a complaint but a suggestion in hopes of a feature I would find very helpful. Thank you

**Developer response:** Our new update has this feature! :D

### 5/5 — Cool App

*2021-12-15*

Great tool for voice leading. Make your progression and then start scrolling thru inversions or root positions until you find the one that sounds good. Teaches you new voicing at the same time. Very useful

**Developer response:** Thank you! We’re always happy to hear that players and composers are finding new sounds to be creative with.

### 5/5 — As simple or comprehensive as you want

*2021-08-15*

Fantastic app!! I really like the ability to set it up as simple as possible, particularly when starting out, but then have the option to widen the chord options to an amazing 100k!

My only wish is that there was a way to “bookmark” chords that become our go-to chords for quick access. Somehow be able to filter out only the ones we’ve selected for practice and such would be a home run. 

Otherwise, excellent job!

**Developer response:** The ability to save your favorite chords is now available as of version 3.0!

### 5/5 — Mike

*2021-07-18*

This app is very practical and a great reference! I used to have this huge book that wasn’t even as thorough and comprehensive. I highly recommend this app.

**Developer response:** Thank you!

### 5/5 — Great UX, comprehensive library

*2021-04-23*

I have only used the free version of this app so far, and I am impressed. For free, you get many voicing of all the chords you will commonly find in music of most genres. The interface is deceptively simple in the way you only see when the developer has put a lot of work into clarifying it. You can see the notes of the chords as frets, pitches, or intervals. You can hear the notes as a chord or an arpeggio. You can cycle through chord variants in a very logical way. It’s really nice. 

Some reviews have commented on the price of upgrades, but seriously :) You get a very useful app for free, and the devs deserve to be paid for their work. They aren’t going to make nearly as many sales as a “$0.99 gem pack” in a freemium game would, so they have to charge more. Make your own cost / benefit decision.

Time for the crazy wish list part of the review! Support for alternate tunings and capos would be nice. It would be amazing to be able to pick a key and see the notes of a given chord as intervals relative to the key. Scales and arpeggios would be amazing, but might need a new app. Another killer feature would be finding chords that are easy to move between. Something like, “What is the G variant most similar to this particular C variant?” Another idea is to pick chords into a progression, and then play them in a loop, or with a metronome.

Thanks for the great app!

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback! We really appreciate your support and ideas for the future of the app. We would love to create a separate scales app in the future and your idea for a chord progression/metronome sequencer is high on our wish list too. We hope to provide all that and more as soon as possible. 🙏
