### 5/5 — Cool app

*2023-12-04*

I’m really enjoying this app

### 1/5 — Freeze up on my iPhone

*2023-05-30*

Freeze after 5 seconds. Why would you put a piece of software in the App Store and it doesn’t work correctly?

### 1/5 — ChordsMaestroBase

*2021-04-22*

I had this on my old iPad and bought the pro version sadly I have it on my new iPad but I only have the basic version if I want to go pro I will have to pay again

### 1/5 — Terrible!

*2020-11-03*

The guitar chords finger chart is super weird and not the standard one.  Even beginners know how to play a D chord but when you look at their chart, it has the black dots on the 1, 2, 3 stings instead of strings 4,5,6.  It also does not tell you which fret.  Your only hope is literaly the hand images which don't match the fret chart.

### 1/5 — CHORDS MAESTRO

*2020-11-01*

NO 7th chords, diminished, inverted etc.

### 1/5 — rediculous

*2020-05-28*

what on earth would you want just the major chords for? And how do I get it off of my computor.

### 5/5 — piano
