### 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.

### 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 — Update the app!!!

### 5/5 — Rate this app

*2017-11-26, version 1.1.0*

For me this is a great app. 
When, I don’t understand what is going on with some melody and my sons and daughter are confusing because don’t find a perfect chord, with this app we solve the problem.

### 5/5 — Needs updating

*2017-10-17, version 1.1.0*

Doesn’t work with ios11. Was my go to app. Now I lol at it and go :(  :(

### 5/5 — CHORDial -a superb App

*2017-09-21, version 1.1.0*

Easy to use, intuitive and comprehensive. Worth paying a donation to get rid of occasional ads. Kevin
I now find that IOS11 will 'wipe out' this App !! Site owners haven't responded to my concerns...worryingly !!
The App is still great but for how much longer.

### 3/5 — Lots of potential but has wrong chords

*2017-08-17, version 1.1.0*

Great concept but flawed execution. For example, shows one Gm7b5 fingering as a A#m barre chord (which has no G).

This is an awesome app but this app group doesn’t update their products.

### 1/5 — No Longer Works

*2018-01-04, version 1.1.0*

This app is useless now that iOS has been upgraded. It appears that this developer is not keeping up.

### 1/5 — Incorrect chording

*2017-10-12, version 1.1.0*

I found a mistake the first time i used it then quit. AMajorchord arrangements up the neck are incorrect, yu have the first chord at 2nd fret for AMaj, then the next move is to the 5th for A major, on this app it says the 3rd fret for the next AMaj, the audio is correct but the fret location is wrong, then the last A major is on the 9th fret.

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.

### 5/5 — Well done

*2023-02-20, version 1.2.1*

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

### 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.

### 5/5 — Simple. Best I’ve used.

*2021-02-20, version 1.2.1*

Simple interface. Easy to use. Very impressed, both kids and also the wife downloaded when they saw it. Best I’ve used. Will pay for this!

### 5/5 — Very useful

This app is super handy and easy to use. I use this app all the time.

### 5/5 — Bestest app!!!

*2020-11-19*

Easy interface, accurate chord diagrams and It’s beautiful!!

### 5/5 — Love it

*2020-08-12, version 1.2.1*

Great simple app to find chords for ukulele, guitar, etc.  so easy to navigate...so glad it’s back!

### 5/5 — Good one !

*2019-11-09*

Cette app est cool. Simple et design; permet d’avoir les bases pour s’y retrouver avec tous les instruments à cordes pincées.  En plus c’est contribution libre ça permet de voir si ça nous plait avant d’accompagner les developpeurs! 

A quand les accords pour les différentes tunes possibles en banjo (drop d, sawmill etc...)

### 5/5 — It’s Back!!!!

*2019-09-18, version 1.2.0*

Big thanks to Simon at Martian Storm Ltd for getting this back on the store. The app enables me to flip between 6th, 7th, 9th etc. etc. and understand the fingering differences. For a mandolin player this is much more accessible than pages of chord tables (or the dreaded underlying music theory!). 
Once I see that pattern can transfer up and down the neck. Welcome back Chordial!
