### 5/5 — Great Resource

*2025-10-25*

Easy to understand, great piece of software. respect.

### 5/5 — Excelente app

*2025-08-20, version 3.4*

Muy buena para ser gratis, agradezco mucho al desarrollador

### 5/5 — A Keeper

*2025-06-17*

After days of downloading and deleting guitar apps, I finally found one that is worth keeping. 
Thank you

### 4/5 — Excellent app,

*2025-04-30, version 3.2.2*

but I would like the screen not to turn off while we use the app. Please add that option.

### 5/5 — Literally perfect—I could hug the developer

*2025-04-15*

I’ve been searching for something precisely like this for years. I randomly asked ChatGPT if a minimalistic native iOS guitar chord app exists and this is what it recommended. I’m so excited to be able to delete everything else now. I feel like so many developers try so hard to distance their apps from the stock IOS design but it results in an unintuitive clunky interface that feels like a chore to use. This is exactly what I needed to focus on music and just letting my iPhone be a tool in the process instead of a distraction. I instantly bought the app because I want this developer to know their work is appreciated!

### 5/5 — Super

*2025-03-13*

Appli simple et efficace. Parfaite !

### 5/5 — Very Helpful Tool!

*2025-02-21*

Everything is included! Chords, scales, music theory. Create songs. A tuner. And the price is absolutely acceptable. Very good work, keep it up!

### 5/5 — Great Chord App

*2024-12-22*

Fantastic app. It’s easy to use, and just works a treat. Easy to find chords, and also chords in a specific key.

### 4/5 — Macht Bücher überflüssig / Anzahl der Saiten sollten noch auswählbar sein

*2024-12-09*

Top Programm

### 5/5 — Simple Chord Library

*2024-04-08*

I was looking for a tool to help me with triads, alternate chord voicings and dropped root forms and ChordKit does exactly that. It's free but I wanted to support active development and you should too. I'd love to see the collections expanded.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the kind review. I'd love to hear more about how you're using ChordKit and ask you some follow-up questions regarding how you'd like collections to be expanded. If you're interested, please feel free to email me at hello@hdthomas.com.
