### 3/5 — Some flaws

*2024-01-06*

1. No instructions or tour of the app.
2. When you’ve correctly identified a chord, you don’t receive verification until you’ve moved on to the next one. So you’re looking at a smiley face (or frown) on a chord that you have not yet spelled and can’t go back to see what you got wrong or right.
3. Almost impossible to enter notes accurately on the miniature piano keyboard — correcting mistakes makes for rather slow going.

### 5/5 — Doesn’t support MIDI input

*2022-01-06*

I bought this hoping to practice on an actual keyboard and this feature isn’t supported. Still 5 stars since it doesn’t pretend to do this, but do not buy if that is what you are looking for.

### 5/5 — 真是不咋地！

*2019-04-22*

界面十分垃圾

### 1/5 — 太烂了

*2018-04-30*

这是我第一次写评论，真的是太烂了，白花我45块，这真是我用过最烂最烂的东西了

**Developer response:** 请列出您不满意的地方，我们一定改进。谢谢！

### 5/5 — Exactly What I Was Looking For

*2017-08-27*

I use this app to pop up chord symbols to which I enter the corresponding notes in order to develop fluency in recognizing chord symbols. I made a couple of suggestions to the developer for improvements. These were not trivial suggestions. I'm sure they involved significant work to implement. I'm very pleased to say the developer very quickly and effectively implemented my suggestions making the app ideal for my purposes.

### 2/5 — Аккорды

*2016-11-08*

Что-то не грузится :(

**Developer response:** Не могли бы вы предоставить более подробную информацию? Спасибо
