Only useful for money

The reverse chord lookup was free, and now its not. This app could be useful but you guys are greedy

Bogus

This app ChordBank does not have a secure connection . Would not recommend at all .. STOP THE MADNESS

Is there a manual

I get how to use most of the features but when it comes to tuning, I’m list on what “cents” mean. It’s located below the tuner. I understand the plus and minus but cents? Does it mean centre? A manual would be nice or someplace to find answers.

Uses AI to listen to you no thanks

Uses AI to listen to you no thanks I don’t need to be monitored from my guitar app as an artist this is really disappointing to see from an app that is supposed to support musicians given the climate of how artists are treated and their art is stolen by AI.

Bad listening AI

Would be great if it worked. Instead it will piss you off and rarely work well enough to be fun. Try for free for a little while then try something else but don’t waist your money.

It just sucked

It would not let me tune my guitar and when I could the stick thing would not move

Subscription slop

This use to be a useful app now they want you to pay so you can learn chord variations. Disgusting.

Not free

Subscription model slop

Took my money and ran

I bought 4 of your apps in 2012. Full access.
I had to download your apps again today.
I found that I have no access to full features and your app says that there is no record of my purchase. So I ask, why did you rip me off?
Do I have to go through Apple to get the older version of the app back?

Subscription

One star for going subscription. Bye bye. I’d rather pay one time.

バージョンアップ前のほうが良かった

以前はコードと音階がありましたが 今は音階を見るものがなくなりました 残念です

Thank for you !!!

Thank you for your prompt response !!! And thank you for addition of the other apps !!! Great company and app seller looking out for the customer !!! This is my favorite app for guitar !!! Thanks again !!!

Shame on you, ChordBank

This app used to be great, then all of a sudden they removed the scales section over to a different app and are trying to charge a yearly subscription.

What happened to the scales section?!!!

The scale section disappeared!!! What is going on?!!! When I first purchased this app it was for a lifetime membership and now the scales section is gone!!! This is very wrong and frustrating!!! I directed many friends to your app; I guess I won’t anymore!!! This is unacceptable and sneaky!!! Bad business practice!!! I certainly hope you put back the scales section!!! Extremely disappointed!!!

It was Great Until Today 7-2025

Used this for years for occasional chord reference; I guess it updated because today it was trying to make me sign up for free trial lessons (money later of course - no option to opt out - so I deleted the app and Will go elsewhere!!! I don’t mind ads but don’t want to be forced into lessons (that might or might not fit my paradigm) when I’m already taking lessons.

Best guitar app ever

Helps me learn and memorize chords and practice switching between them, the guitar tuner isn’t the greatest put everything else is perfect!

Now have to pay for a free feature with latest update

The reverse chord lookup was handy and was free, but now you have to pay for it. So I have deleted the app.

Bravo

Un grand bravo aux dev c’est du genie

The tools are fine but Subscribe with caution…

I have been using these tools (ChordBank, ScaleBank) at a premium level for almost three years. When I posed a question about access to the “All in” subscription model I have been ghosted by the Better Notes support team. Three messages over the last two months without reply. Contact support before subscribing.

Nope

This app is pay to play on any features you need to add. It’s a money grab to access all the normal things you would want to use on an app like this. By the time you add it all up you are paying over ten buck a month. Give me a break, if you want to play and learn, this app holds hostage the features that should be part of the discovery process. The reverse chord feature seemed nice until I typed in a chord and it said it couldn’t name it. It also completely freezes on my iPad Pro 2023. Don’t waist your money.
