## What is chord Finder?

What is that chord? Enter the notes in any order and find out what the chord is and any close matching chords. A complete tool for songwriters / musicians. 

FEATURES 
  Keyboard & guitar interface for easy note entry.
* Get close matching chord alternatives. 
* Offers a variety of chord sequences that go with your chosen chord.
* Includes Chord Calculator; enter the name of a chord (e.g. Fm9) and see what notes it comprises.   
* Get all possible scales that work with your chord. 
* Hear each chord and scales.
* VoiceOver supported.
* Supports just about any chord; 7ths, 6ths, sharpened and flattened 9ths, diminished and augmented etc, etc... 

HOW IT WORKS
You tap in the notes in any order E.g. f#, a, d and e. The analyzer will tell you that these are the notes of D9 and that f# is the third, a is the fifth and e is the ninth note for the chord. It will also tell you that these are the same notes that comprise the more unusual chord of A6 sus4. Incidentally, you will be able to tell which is your chord by context for example if it has the d note in the bass it is almost certainly the chord of D9.

The analyzer will also indicate any near matches so in the above example it will indicate that if you play a c bass note alongside your notes you get the jazzy sounding C6.9 with a flattened 5th. 

Once you have your chord you can tap 'Play' to hear it or tap 'Related' to see scales and chord progressions that include this chord.

The Chord calculator works in the reverse way. You tell it a chord and it will show you the notes that make up that chord.

### 1/5 — Jazz pianist

*2012-12-17, version 1.0*

This app is the worst. You can only enter 5 notes and bass notes are not supported so identifying a 7 note chord wont happen. A waste of money. Most of us already know triads!

### 1/5 — Waste

*2012-01-22, version 1.0*

I really want an ap that can do what this promises. But this one can't even recognize a sus2 chord.
