Love it!

Works great and love having different octaves available.

Great app but...

Love this app but I would also love to see an addition for minor chords and even possibly diminished triads - It works great for traditional scales but when doing any minor scale variants or playing through modes I find the chord options to be lacking

Thank you!

Simple, efficient, a great tool for practicing fretless string instruments.
