Awesome app!

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

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

One of the best guitar apps.

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!

Thank you! So happy to hear you’re enjoying it 🙏

Playing in position

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.

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!

Amazing guitar app!

Thank you! We have some awesome new upgrades coming so stay tuned!

Love it But…

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

Our new update has this feature! :D

Cool App

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

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

As simple or comprehensive as you want

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!

The ability to save your favorite chords is now available as of version 3.0!

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.

Great UX, comprehensive library

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!

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. 🙏

Paid to unlock, still waiting

Paid to unlock the frets, almost a week ago. Hasn’t unlocked, hasn’t posted my previous review, hasn’t contacted me about a refund, or solving the problem.
DON’T SPEND ANY NONEY ON THIS APP!!!!!!!!

Just what I needed!

Super helpful and really beautiful app! Who knew there were so many ways to play a C chord?

Thank you! We didn't even know there were that many ways until we made this app. The research that's gone into coding it has revealed many amazing statistics about what is possible on the guitar, resulting in the most comprehensive and systematic dictionary of guitar chords ever created.

SCAM! Beware!

This app is a complete and total rip off. It charges you 10 bucks to "unlock" 9th chords etc..Ok, overpriced but OK. THEN After that, you try to move the chord up the neck and I don't know that's another $7.99 to "unlock the neck." this is absolute highway robbery. Absolutely ridiculous no reason to do it whatsoever. Just stay away from this ripoff!!

Hello, we've worked really hard to bring this incredible learning tool to the world, personally investing a lot of resources to make it available. The free version of this app already offers far more chord voicings than any of our competitors, and any guitar education book on the market will retail for over $10 and offer a fraction of what this app includes. We made it clear what the free version of the app includes, and what the paid features offer (over 100,000 chords, more than any guitar chord dictionary every created), so I'm sorry you feel it's a scam, but we can assure you we are trying to offer people high quality educational resources at a very affordable price because we care passionately about music education. The knowledge required to create this comes from many years of collegiate level research and professional experience. Thank you for giving us a try, and we hope you can appreciate where we're coming from. All the best!

Guitar chord dictionary tool box is amazing

This is awesome. Shows the different inversions of chords. One drawback is that it does not show the fingering for chords, but it is relatively easy to figure out the fingering. Getting the additional feature of seeing extensions is pretty costly, it with any good software, there is a price associated with quality. Everything considered, it is worth it and if the cost of buying the extensions is too much, a google search should produce the same results.

Thank you! We've worked hard to bring what is easily the most comprehensive dictionary of guitar chords ever created to the world, and we're confident that this does not exist anywhere else, including a Google search. We chose not to include fingerings as there are often multiple solutions and we didn't want to impose a logic on people. Thank you for your support!

Simply the Best

This is by far the best guitarist’s chord dictionary out there. It’s so comprehensive that’s it’s truly mind boggling. It is the ideal companion for everyone, beginner to seasoned master. Congrats!

Thank you for your support! We really appreciate the kind words.

It’s not $2.99

If you want to see all the chords it forces you to pay much more, too expensive, $2.99 should be total.

How do I get the free version ?

Response from developer

Hello, the app is currently free (there was a delay from the previous version sorry about that!). This means that thousands of chords are available for free. The in-app purchases are optional. We've worked really hard to make this the most comprehensive chord dictionary available anywhere and believe that this is a great value for the content. Books with far fewer voicings easily retail for twice the cost. Thank you for expressing your perspective and I hope you find Guitar Chords Dictionary to be a valuable resource.
