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 ### 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. ### 4/5 — Problem in 7.0.2 *2013-10-03* In iOS 7.0.2 When i open it. Its lock in horizontal mode and i cant work with it anymore ### 5/5 — Nice App *2012-11-06* Very helpful app. However, I wish that more variables of each chord were available. ### 5/5 — Lo recomiendo esta aplicacion. *2012-09-18, version 1.08* A must have app. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2012-07-19, version 1.08* Best chord app available ### 5/5 — New version crashes *2012-06-19* About a minute into it, the app crashed. Still five stars for a free app, but needs to be fixed. ### 5/5 — thanks *2012-06-16, version 1.07* good ### 5/5 — Basam ali *2012-05-08, version 1.07* Basam ali ### 5/5 — love it *2012-01-30, version 1.07* love it ### 5/5 — Gutair app *2012-01-16* Never crashed 4 me and is very useful!! ### 5/5 — Good *2012-01-13, version 1.07* Easy to find chords Thanks ### 5/5 — Flipping sweet *2012-01-01, version 1.07* Fantastic.

Otherwise it's very useful. ### 3/5 — Good App some errors *2011-11-29* This is a nice free app with advertising page 2 where you select chord type is incorrect m7(b5) is repeated twice. The first (left to right) should read 7(b5). The chord themselves are correct as far as I can tell. ### 5/5 — Neat App! *2011-11-28* This is a really cool app for its purpose. It shows me all the nice chords I can make on guitar. Of course I'm a beginner so apps like this are really helpfull. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 1/5 — Confused? *2013-11-01, version 1.10* Not sure about this & when clicking on profile everything is in a foreign language. If I am misunderstanding sorry. However I am deleting this app ### 1/5 — 还没玩 *2012-01-25* 刚开始，还不知道怎么玩 ### 1/5 — Poor implementation *2011-08-17, version 1.06* This app is worth every penny you pay for I and not one cent more. It displays on your iPad upside down from how you would be using it with the cover. No...it does not right itself. Also it goes to white screen a lot and for no apparent reason. There are no settings that I could find. I'm deleting it from my iPad. ### 1/5 — Too many crashes *2011-02-01, version 1.04* Fix the crashes and this will be a great app. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2011-01-23, version 1.04* Please fix crashes, then I will make it a 5* rating ### 1/5 — Meh *2011-01-10, version 1.03* Meh ### 1/5 — What is this? *2010-11-04* You navigate past all the banner ads to choose a basic chord, then you're hit with something like 21 variations of that chord to choose from, navigating past more banner ads the whole time. Then you get a chord diagram of that particular diagram with more banner ads. Maybe this app makes some sense to someone far more advanced at guitar playing than me, or maybe it's just ridiculous. ### 2/5 — Crashes *2010-12-31, version 1.02* This would be a really cool app if it didn't shut off all the time and take me to the main screen ### 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. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 ! ### 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. ### 5/5 — Guitar (chord) app *2013-12-19, version 1.11* Perfect or beginners ### 5/5 — Superb *2013-11-02, version 1.10* Best app ever. ### 5/5 — Best *2013-01-02, version 1.08* Best chords app ### 5/5 — Review *2012-11-22, version 1.08* Great app!!! U learn a lot from it!! ;) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
