User reviews

Tolle App - aber…

Ich nutze diese App schon sehr lange und bin auch sehr zufrieden damit. Tolle Features, alles was ich so benötige. Mein Problem: in hellen Umgebungen ist der Kontrast leider sehr schlecht, da die Pads doch sehr dunkel sind.
Könnte man die Farbgebung der Pads evtl verbessern ?

Absolutely Awesome

ChordPolyPad is awesome!

I use it since a few years now, mostly on my iPad and every time it lets me dive deep into the harmonies. Especially the random chord generation is so inspirational.

Also the UI is really unique. I like it!

The recent update which added chord moods to the randomizer makes it even better!
One of the best app on all my devices!

Keep up the good work!

Would be even greater with a simple chord sequencer.
