Chord Detector is closer to science than just an app. It is an experimental music recognition method that I have made according to my understanding about the mechanics of sound perception. The app is real time chord tracker that uses the microphone of the device. The found chords are displayed with big letters on the screen but you can also see individual music tones with small letters at the bottom. MIDI recording is an experimental feature. I do not know of any 100% successful audio to MIDI converter yet but this one I have made works relatively good for solo instruments. However full songs with drums and noises are not so good :) Audio to MIDI conversion is also real time so some tones may be missed because the CPU may not catch up (depends on the device) At the moment chord detection is limited to major, minor, 5th and 7th chords. ## Key features - Real-time chord detection - Displays individual music tones - Experimental MIDI recording - Supports major, minor, 5th, and 7th chords - Audio to MIDI conversion ## Recent user reviews (6 of 6) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/chord-detector/id1495811175/reviews.md ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work. *2025-11-01* Barely picks up standard chords. ### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht *2024-12-21* Habe es installiert, iphone 15 Pro max, ausser irgendwelche schwachsinnigen Akkorde, die selbst bei stille angezeigt werden, tut sich nix. rückerstattung wurde abgelehnt. Ich fühle mich abgezockt!! ### 2/5 — Good enough.. *2024-11-10* Its good enough, it dosent seem to detect chords like C arg and C dim ### 1/5 — Très limité *2023-01-13* Hello, cet outil est très limité, s'il détecte les accords principaux, il ne reconnait pas les accords complexes comme les accords diminués, suspendus, les 9eme etc ... Une idée d'amélioration pourrait être de reconnaitre un accord un fournissant les notes cad en les tapant sans se servir du micro; ex si je lui donne A#+E+G+C = accord de A#dim.
