### 5/5 — 很棒

*2024-09-28, version 2.1.4*

很棒

### 5/5 — Easy to understand

*2024-06-05, version 2.1.4*

Simple to get the chord you need and an easy visual way of displaying it. I really like the no fills way this is set out. It does give you 3 versions of each chord and lets you change between left and right hand.

Very useful.

### 5/5 — 可以

*2023-08-16*

很好

### 5/5 — Handy app for beginning players

*2020-12-07*

It’s always nice to have an app to refer too when starting out playing the guitar. This is a simply way to have your basic open chords at your fingertips.

### 5/5 — Un incontournable

*2020-03-26, version 2.1.1*

Utilisation facile. Je l'utilise à chaque pratique. Merci !

### 4/5 — FANTASTIC

*2020-03-01, version 2.1*

Sounds, very much like a real life 🎸. So what can I say, except "Put your hand into your pocket, and spend a little for such alot." You'll love it.... , or at least most people will, so it is worth it. X😽❤️X

### 5/5 — Goodbye

*2017-05-14*

I used this app for a long time and loved it. However, since it has not changed to include pop up ads, I'm going to another app. When I'm needing a chord fingering, I don't have the time or the patience to closed ads that cover the screen. Goodbye Guitar Chord. It was fun while you lasted.

### 1/5 — Ads ads ads ads and poor gramma

*2017-01-16, version 1.3*

It's a virtual yellow pages of ads, they are everywhere. Not worth the space. Even poor grammatical errors when they ask you to review it in the app. Useless

### 3/5 — Good, but....

*2015-08-10*

The app appears to do what it's supposed to do however the horizontal orientation only works in a direction.  It otherwise appears to be upside down and will not re-orient 180 degrees when you flip the iPad.

### 3/5 — Lots of Ads, Some Odd Fret Shifts

*2014-12-24*

When I first started lessons, I could not follow the guitar chord positions at all, but now I realize they shift you from the first fret even when it is not necessary to show the chord - just because a string is not pressed in the lower numeric fret.

Once you get accustomed to the shifting positions shown, the ads will still drive you a little crazy

Lastly, the need to hit a Back button to see different versions of the E or F or whatever is clunky.
