I think ChordIQ is helping me overcome the anxiety and I am beginning to understand the names of the lines and spaces of the stave. With more practice I think I will be able to get better at reading. Thank you team ChordIQ! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-07-06* Love it ❤️💛💚 ### 2/5 — Rip off *2025-09-03* I paid a lifetime membership years ago. It was very useful in college. It’s now asking me to pay again. ### 2/5 — Dead end *2025-02-04* If I switch to the note name instead of the piano keys there’s no way to switch back. It’s a dead end. ### 5/5 — Одно из немногих ☝️ *2024-10-21* Отличное приложение! Редкий случай удачного баланса между игрой с элементом соревнования и получением настоящих знаний. Возможность играть бесплатно, ну а цена в $0.99 / месяц. Разработчики определенно альтруисты, большое Вам человеческое Спасибо! PS Мне очень интересно, реальны-ли данные из таблицы лидеров? Возможны-ли такие результаты? :)))) **Developer response:** Большое спасибо за ваши теплые слова! Да, данные из таблицы лидеров реальные, и результаты зависят от активности игроков – удачи в ваших игровых достижениях! Если у вас есть дополнительные вопросы, не стесняйтесь обращаться в поддержку. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2024-04-22* Moi qui galère pour lire les partitions maintenant j’apprends vite et facilement. Bravo pour cette appli ! Je la conseille aux débutants ++ en solfège. **Developer response:** Merci beaucoup pour votre retour positif, DeeNee ! Nous sommes ravis d'apprendre que notre application vous aide à progresser en solfège et qu'elle est utile pour les débutants. Continuez à jouer et à apprendre ! ### 1/5 — Horrible app *2023-10-06* It makes learning music stressful, and makes kids not want to practice. I do not recommend this app. **Developer response:** I'm sorry to hear that you and your child are having a stressful experience with the app. Your feedback is valuable, and I'd love to understand more about specific features that are causing frustration so we can improve your experience. ### 4/5 — Sharp App *2023-06-21* Picked up the bagpipes recently and wanted to shake the rust off my sight reading. I’d have given it a 5 but I’d like the option to remove sharps and flats. Not a huge deal but with the pipes, sharps and flats are not a thing. ### 5/5 — Très bonne application *2023-05-16* Très pratique et complet … ### 5/5 — Ноты *2023-04-05* Скажите, есть ли возможность тренировать ноты третьей октавы, ноты малой октавы в скрипичном ключе? ## Frequently asked questions about ChordIQ ### What does ChordIQ do?
