Now my go-to Chord app, covers all the bases for me. I’m finding it stable & easy to use. We’ll done! ### 5/5 — First Class Design & Functionality *2022-08-22* Everything Mathiue creates seems to be designed thoughtfully and developed to a high standard. This is the third app of his I’ve used, and his craftsmanship once again made it a no-brainer decision for me to upgrade to the premium version. Highly recommended. Pro tip: tap on the “Developer” section to explore his other apps if you haven’t already. ### 5/5 — ChordShapes 👍🏼 *2022-04-24* This is a great app. I highly recommend it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App crashes on reverse look up *2024-03-20* App crashes as soon as I try to change the fret number on reverse look up. Please fix. **Developer response:** This issue is now fixed in version 5.5.3, released more than a year ago. Update: Are you happy with the fix? Would you be willing to update your rating? Thanks! ### 2/5 — Application incomplète *2025-06-11* Dommage **Developer response:** Incomplète? Que manque-t-il? Svp détaillez votre commentaire ou contactez le support technique pour en discuter. Merci! :) ### 2/5 — Only Maj&Min *2022-01-16* Chords outside of major and minor, and alternate tunings are only available with a $7.99 purchase. Come on, have a little more to offer. **Developer response:** With the free tier, you have access to major, minor, dominant seventh, minor seventh, major seventh. Most songs use these chord types. If you want to go further, you can unlock all chord types and all advanced features by paying a small fee. ### 3/5 — The app needs to give users a trial period before buying *2024-12-31* I would buy it if it allows me to see if I need it or not before forcing me to buy it for the advanced features. No thanks. Let me know if you can let me try it for a week before I decide. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. The app is free to use – What would you like to try that is not part of the free version? Please contact support so we can discuss this. ### 3/5 — Dark mode *2024-12-01* Turn off dark mode ???? **Developer response:** The app adapts automatically to the color scheme you have selected on your device. Please contact support if you have a question. ### 4/5 — Good, but could be better. *2025-04-13* This is a good looking app, it is easy to operate, and is useful. Unfortunately, after looking up a chord, you have to look through the whole chart, to find the chord you want to play at a specific position. It would be much better if the chords were listed by Chord Name —> Neck Position instead of by Chord Name —> Number of Strings Played…or at least make it a sorting option. Also, it’s about three dollars too expensive. ### 4/5 — Play with modes *2024-02-12* Really worth it. I enjoy it. Allowing me to be able to practice modes for the first time. It would be nice if the notes followed the modes. Some # should be b and vice and versa, in C harmonic minor there is no D # but Eb and some chords are noted with D# for example which is wrong in this context. It would be great to highlight regular chords of the modes those stack with thirds vs chords with 2nd and diminished or augmented fifth, sixth. Also inversions could be a great addition to chord variations and could make this app an extremely power full tool. Thanks ### 4/5 — Pretty Good So Far *2022-11-10* Needs enharmonic option for maintaining appropriate key signatures. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback but I’m not sure I understand. Could you contact support to clarify the issue? Thanks. ### 4/5 — Très complet *2022-06-24* Interface très simple. J’apprécierais de voir les formules d’accords et de visualiser les variations par un seul tap. L’arpège joué à la vitesse du doigt est bien vu. Dommage que Suggester n’interagisse pas simplement (peut-être en payant une option pour cette seule fonction. Ce ne serait pas cool) ### 5/5 — Perfect *2026-06-19* Very well organized. Perfect for me to map out chord progressions of covers/original songs, and the suggestive chord recognition helps me improve and doublecheck my chord identification. Thank you guys for making this. ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — ChordShapes *2026-05-05* You created a great app as a whole and I use it daily! I have created hundreds of chord sheets in a very short period of time. The app is very practical and easy to use. I like the custom chord feature since it would be impossible to have every variation in your library. Keep up the great work. Cheers, LN ### 5/5 — Cool app *2026-02-08* I’m really enjoying this app ### 5/5 — Pretty good *2025-08-28* I wish it covered 12 frets **Developer response:** The application covers up to the 22th fret! :) In reverse lookup, tap the "base fret" indicator to change its value. ### 5/5 — Première expérience *2025-05-26* Application bien pensée.J'aime de pouvoir personnaliser l'instrument à souhait et d'en tirer les diagrammes d'accords correspondants ! Il manquerait que la possibilité que l'application permette la création de gammes en rapport...Là elle serait hyper complète,peut-être un jour ? Déjà bravo pour le travail réalisé.👍 **Developer response:** Merci, c’est un plaisir de lire vos commentaires :). Que voulez vous dire par “la création de gammes en rapport”? Svp écrivez au support technique pour qu’on puisse en discuter davantage. Merci! ### 5/5 — Nice! *2024-12-08* Cool app. I just wish I could do more with the chord lookup. Like save a chord and print to pdf from the lookup page. I’m trying to learn theory and would love to see triad shapes only and have ability to export as pdf for note taking in other apps. Anyway, this is a cool app. Looking forward to using more. **Developer response:** I’m glad you like the app! That’s a good idea, thank you for your feedback :) ### 5/5 — Works but can be better *2024-11-02* The app should allow me to move a chord shape up the neck without having to use a custom chord shape. For example, a D shape chord at the 12th fret is C. All me to move existing D chord to position 12. Also when I draw the D shape chord do not automatically flatten the chord. If I click on the flattened fingering remove and use the dots as expected. All else is very good. ### 5/5 — Incredible! *2024-09-28* Incredible app! I love that I can find chords in alternate tunings. The app itself looks great, runs smooth, and is well organized. I think the full access is worth every penny for the value you get. ### 5/5 — Fantastic app. *2024-04-28* I just came back to Apple and a new iPad. Changed my ukulele tuning to A#/Bb and needed chord charts. This app covers guitar, ukulele. Saved me from an Android meltdown. ### 5/5 — Chords progressions make perfect sense *2024-04-20* If you haven’t tried this app I recommend it!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
