Do not pay for this

I have used the app called Chordify and loved it, but my subscription ended, I thought I was subscribing to the same app, but NOPE. Apple refused to allow me to get a refund so I could subscribe to the other app that I was used to, so I got stuck with this… sigh.. very disappointed. Since I can’t get my money back, I have tried time to time to give it another try.. but only end up frustrated and disappointed. I’m sure other may be able to meet there needs, but this just isn’t what I thought I was paying for.

Midis schlecht

Die Midiversionen, die man runterladen kann, sind ein Witz. Ich würde zumindest eine Melodie Linie mit Akkordsymbolen erwarten.
So, ist die APP nicht zu verwenden und zu teuer.

They will rip you off

Be warned, if you forget that you have a subscription and ask for a refund after they charge your account, they will deny you. I sent an email within 4 days of the renewal, and they said my reason wasn’t valid. They clearly intend on ripping you off for as long as they can.

Best app for beginners

Every song perfect fit for this app

Great features in the IPad version but problems on MacOS and in the browser version

The customizability of the display / way chords are presented is great. Not so great: The quality of audio extraction - there is way better products in this respect. It doesn’t recognize more than four instruments in most cases and you still hear other (muted) ones. Music-only playback that does only work with uploaded content and none on my MacOS systems (loads forever, doesn’t start playing). The loop mode does not work in the browser version once you quit the loop setup window (it just loops another sequence than the configured one) but works fine on IPad. With some polishing and bug fixes it could become one of the best tools for musicians to practice, that’s why I support it as a Pro customer.
