It would be awesome if it wasn't. It's missing all D major first position chords, all G major first position chords, all A major first position chords, all E minor first position chords, all F# minor first position chords, all B minor first position chords. It's probably missing more. Not like I don't know these chords, but I WANT THEM so I can use them for printing the chords on sheet music. Can you please fix this? I made a comment on your website but I got no response. 1 YEAR later, STILL NO RESPONSE ### 2/5 — Needs better categories *2022-12-16* The graphics are fine. But the app is missing an entire category of chord from the drop down list - “Dominant”. And the chords that are shown when “Maj” is selected the chords shown are not Maj 7th but Dom 7th. There’s a big difference, for example, between a C7 and a CMaj7 chord but when I select "C | Maj | 7" - what I get is pictures of a C dominant 7 (C7). This also applies to the 9th chords. It might be easy to remedy for the developers so I look forward to future versions. But for someone wanting the correct chord - it’s not so good. ### 2/5 — All Strings Only *2022-02-01* There's no way to silence strings or choose what string the root starts on. I'll be returning this soon. ### 3/5 — Good Idea But Limited Usefulness *2018-06-03* No problem with the graphics. Like the idea of being able to resize and copy and paste to my editor, but cannot edit a chord to add or delete notes to show only the notes to be played. Also, the chord options do not include split chords, which would be a plus. These two improvements would definitely move my rating higher. ### 3/5 — Seems ok *2018-04-08, version 1.8* Will update my review once I use it a little more. ### 1/5 — Not worth $5 *2016-11-06* Graphics look really bad and pixelated, interface is not intuitive and there is a bunch of advertising for other apps. To me it’s not worth the $5 I paid for it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Enttäuschend *2025-02-15* Hatte die Lite Version die hat funktioniert, leider nur limitiert. Hab daraufhin das Upgrade gekauft und jetzt hängen sich beide Versionen auf wenn man aus Menu irgend eine Auswahl trifft . Schade, ich hoffe da wird nachgebessert, dann gibts auch mehr Sterne ### 1/5 — I can not believe how horrible this app is *2024-09-03* I can not believe how horrible this app is ### 1/5 — Not very user-friendly *2024-04-21* I feel this is a waste of money nothing works ### 1/5 — App freezes and becomes unusable *2024-01-25* this application, as well as it's free version are absolutely unusable when the user navigate to various screens to application, freezes up and becomes unusable. Buyer beware! ### 1/5 — Bought It Only Freezes *2024-01-18* Bought this app. All it does is freeze up. iPad Pro ### 1/5 — Scam *2023-08-25* Doesnt work and took my money ### 1/5 — It’s worthless *2022-12-27* It’s worthless- freezes and not functional ### 1/5 — Guitar Chord Compass *2022-03-20* Touch the tool bar at top and the app freezes. Not recommended to try. ### 1/5 — App freezes *2021-12-17* App freezes when I try to change-tuning I Am running on iPad mini any fixes? ### 1/5 — Should have looked closer. *2021-02-11* No open chords. No barre chords. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Extremely useful to have on any guitarist's desktop *2020-11-15* Love it - had it for 12 months but only just found it and it is really great. TRY IT ! ### 5/5 — super *2020-02-02* es ist genau das was ich gesucht habe. ### 5/5 — super hilfreich *2019-09-27* Genau, wonach ich lange gesucht hab: eine App mit wirklich brauchbaren Akkorden! Nicht einfach nur Barré hoch und runter, sondern für jeden Bund passend neue Griffmöglichkeiten! Open Chords inklusive. Macht Laune! ### 5/5 — Great app *2019-09-15* I love this app it so handy for transferring chord diagrams to my music that are new to me. ### 5/5 — Intshontsho *2019-05-29* I like this app. Especially ability to drop chords into Garage Band and then manipulate as you like. ### 5/5 — Snook *2018-08-28* Great app ### 5/5 — Better than expected *2017-04-25* True it’s a bit pixilated, but who cares when you’re looking for a playable chord in a particular position. I’d been looking for weeks for such a usuable chord in a difficult spot for a jazz standard solo. Opened the program, entered the chord, clicked on the fret I needed—presto!—I was able to add another composition to my repertoire. When you don’t have time to try every conceivable combination of the notes of a chord you need, this app will do the job for you. Worth the five-buck price (regardless of somewhat poor pixelation) in my book. ### 4/5 — Some stuff is weird *2022-11-24* So some stuff is presented weird. Like the open chords use the 2nd fret rather than the nut to reference fingering. I’ve never seen that before, so it takes some getting used to. ### 4/5 — Ok *2019-01-11* Please This Printable With Drop And Drag Cords ### 3/5 — Basic *2019-03-15* Rather Basic,no root note id just a red dot would do, no inversion settings or shell shape names. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
