## What is E?

This app displays guitar chord finger positions.
They are computationally-displayed, so they are also compatible with things such as alternate tunings and fraction chords, and they have overwhelming search capabilities even when compared to our company's G-Chord.

In-App Purchase(unlock all):
■ Disables ads
■ Browse all chords available

This chord app is distinctive for the fact that it doesn't use a premade database of finger positions; rather it takes the selected chord and calculates correct finger positionings, with the relative difficulty of each classified by color. You can do reverse lookups from any of the 24 frets, and the program can also handle "fraction" chords (D/C, C/E, etc.). The app can also display finger positions for alternate tunings.

The application accommodates left-handed players as well.

The program can save finger positions matching the tuning you are using at that time.

It is also possible to take a saved chord image and e-mail it as an attachment.

There is no limit to the amount of chords you can save. (iCloud saves are limited to about 1MB.)

Chords are color-coded by difficulty on the lookup and reverse lookup screens. You can indicate whether you want fingers positionings to be limited to three frets or to four frets. (Positions requiring five or more frets are avoided.)

The chord buttons displayed on the top page can be customized. Results from all designated string lookups can be added to the top page as a button. Also, it is possible to delete or rearrange buttons on the top page, or to reset it completely to its original state.

The application in its original state can currently add a minimum of roughly 1.2 million different chord buttons (including finger position variants of the same chord name) to the top page. With the addition of alternate tunings and "fraction" chords the number of finger positionings which can be looked up is 10 times higher still.

In the same way, chord names can be determined from finger position (reverse lookup). Please try it out!

Your saved data can be backed up in iCloud. To do so, you must enable iCloud use in your device's settings.

iCloud Settings for iOS8 and iOS9:
Device Settings -> iCloud -> iCloud Drive: -> E-Chord: On

iCloud Settings for iOS7 and Below:
Device Settings -> iCloud -> Documents&Data -> On

IMPORTANT: If your device is in silent mode (with the switch on the side set to the off position), no sound will be produced. If sound isn't working for some other reason in the free version, the problem will remain even after purchasing the unlocked version. Please be sure to verify correct sound output before purchasing the full version.

After purchase, if you uninstall the product or switch to another device, you can reinstall it by downloading with the same Apple ID you used at the time of the original purchase, then pressing the "restore purchase" or "unlock all" button. So long as you are using the same Apple ID, even if you press the purchase button a second time, no money will be deducted from your account.

### 5/5 — Soo convenient

*2021-04-21, version 2.4*

Better than fumbling thru pages of a chord dictionary and still not finding the chord I need. A very quick reference. Load out in
Logical manner. Recommended for learning and pros alike. 

Tho one thing that may help song writers is relationships of chord progressions and scale suggestions.

### 1/5 — Pretty well useless

*2016-10-03, version 2.3*

Pretty much everything you might want to use this for is locked and requires an in-app purchase. Don't waste the bandwidth downloading it.

### 5/5 — Great

*2015-09-29, version 2.1*

Excellent for building new chord formations, especially jazz. Well worth the cost.

### 1/5 — Stupid!

*2015-08-09, version 2.1*

App is free, but chords are locked. You have to pay to unlock EACH CHORD!!!
