### 1/5 — App is just crashing

*2026-08-12, version 1.2.1*

Just gets a black screen and straight back to the iPad dashboard

### 2/5 — Banjo tunings not supported.

*2026-07-12, version 1.2.1*

Chords are given for banjo, but different tunings (eg. double C) aren’t supported. Not much use. Sorry.

### 1/5 — Nullos

*2025-11-11*

App nulle

### 5/5 — The Best

*2024-01-25, version 1.2.1*

The best go to chord app. Simple and easy to use and plays the chords you choose. Lovely.

### 5/5 — Mandolin player

*2023-09-03, version 1.2.1*

I keep this app open on my iPhone next to my iPad when playing tabs. So easy to do a quick lookup when I run across a chord I don’t know.

### 1/5 — Fatal chrash

*2023-02-21, version 1.2.1*

Crashes when attempting to open.

### 5/5 — Well done

*2023-02-20, version 1.2.1*

This app is very functional, and has a great design.

### 3/5 — I almost like this app

*2022-11-12, version 1.2.1*

This app would be good except for one thing: you are giving enharmonically incorrect names for chords and keys. For example you are calling B flat A sharp and so on. Nobody plays in A sharp, or C sharp, or D sharp. That’s how you get weird chords with multiple sharps. While technically you are correct, this is very confusing. Let’s call these chords/keys the names that people actually use, which is their enharmonic flats. Thanks.

### 5/5 — Simple & Well designed

*2022-07-07, version 1.2.1*

My bros and I want to play some music together but we’ve got a Uke a Banjo a Guitar and Mandolin this app is simply perfect and extremely underrated. It’s like black magic.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work in IOS 14

*2021-09-19, version 1.2.1*

This is not working iOS 14 on iPhones anymore, too bad
