### 4/5 — Useful!

*2017-04-27, version 1.3*

I found many chords I was lookin for, some repetitive, but it could be improved.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2016-06-16, version 1.3*

I've tried many other resources and they would never be as complete as this app is without having to make a purchase. 

This is a great app that has many chords and a wide variety of each. 

I definitely would recommend this app.

### 5/5 — Chords

*2016-05-18, version 1.3*

So Easy and so useful. Best app for learning guitar chords Ever!

### 5/5 — A Fine App

*2016-03-06, version 1.3*

This is a great resource for the beginner to intermediate guitarist.

### 5/5 — Hit

*2015-09-23, version 1.3*

Instant results, with the chord progressions..love it..

### 5/5 — JamPlay does it again!

*2015-05-14, version 1.1*

Great app guys. This is really awesome just on my iPhone. Having it work on my Apple Watch is a nice bonus. Thank you!!

### 3/5 — App seems to be missing the D chord

*2015-05-01, version 1.0*

The app is excellent but there is a error the standard D chord is missing xxo232 and its variants.

### 5/5 — Great use for watch!

*2015-04-29, version 1.0*

Finally a great use for my watch! Love to be able to quickly glance down to check out chords!

### 5/5 — Great App

*2015-04-29, version 1.0*

As a novice who is wanting to be able to shred with the best of them, I found this App as a great resource.  All of the chords, accompanied with sound are right at my finger tips.  Now I can strum some chords and impress the ladies, so if my apple watch doesn't do the job (which this app displays perfectly on) or my boyish charm and rugged good looks, then me being able to rock out with the best of them will have to do the trick.  Thanks JamPlay for helping a brother out!! This App is the bees knees

### 5/5 — Great chord app

*2015-04-29*

This is a really solid app. I used it to refresh on a few chords that I needed to practice on. The interface is great and really easy to use.

### 1/5 — Out of date with iOS

*2023-06-03*

Won’t work anymore because developers haven’t updated the app. App Store won’t even let you download this anymore

### 1/5 — doesn’t work with ios 15.2.1

*2022-01-20, version 1.3*

love the app. i updated jamplay and lost access to it. i’d like to go back to previous jamplay app. how can i do that??

### 1/5 — Why won’t my watch connect??

*2019-12-26, version 1.3*

The app won’t let me connect my brand new Apple Watch. Even tried to buy the app thinking I had to pay to unlock the watch “feature”... nope. 3$ down the drain.

### 1/5 — Chords on the watch

*2019-11-16, version 1.3*

I installed the app. It would not connect to the watch. So I bought the premium version in the in app purchasing. It still won’t connect to the watch. There is no way to install it in the watch app. The chords app just says to launch the jam play app on the watch. It’s as clear as mud. The thing doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Premium doesn’t work

*2019-10-05*

I paid to upgrade to Premium using in app purchase but it won’t register. Even tried deleting and tapping RESTORE PURCHASE. Nothing happens. It also won’t install or show up as am app for my watch. IOS 13.2 AW 6. Looks like I wasted $4. Ah well

### 1/5 — App doesn’t show up on Apple Watch

*2019-01-03, version 1.3*

I downloaded this app specifically for use on my Apple Watch 4 and found that it doesn’t show up on my watch and will not pair? Also, I paid for the upgrade but it still will not recognize my Apple Watch and I can’t restore my purchase?? What gives????
Update...have attempted to reach app support but keep getting message “site not available” and when I attempt to get a refund from the App Store, I keep getting referred back to the app support. Feels like I’ve been scammed out of my money for an app that doesn’t work as advertised with no options. Won’t be purchasing any more apps after this experience.

Just got a response from app “support”...basically saying that they have no support for their app for the Apple Watch 4....so hang on to your money folks...because it doesn’t work and you quite literally will have no options from either Apple or the developer to get your money back if you pay for the upgrade.
Nice teamwork!

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2018-11-26, version 1.3*

Frequently crashes when you tap play on a chord.

### 2/5 — Wasn’t What I Expected

*2019-11-21, version 1.3*

I expected a program that showed me all possible positions of chords.  Example:  For E augmented it shows only one position.   Does same thing in many other chords.  I’d like to see chords all over the neck!

### 3/5 — Hummmm??

*2020-01-29*

Love this app paid 2.99 as the idea of cords on your watch is ground breaking. 
Problem is I can’t get it to work no matter what i try( the watch part)
And the contact us option never works.
Feel abit ripped off but on ya phone it ok . 
Just wish someone would help me set up on 5s watch

### 3/5 — App won't run on my iPhone 4

*2015-05-19, version 1.1*

App won't run on my iPhone 4. Fix please

### 5/5 — JamPlay is the BEST!

*2022-01-21, version 1.3*

I have learned so much from this app - it is so easy and convenient to use! very helpful

### 5/5 — Works very well

*2019-11-12, version 1.3*

It wasn’t that long ago that this technology would have cost big bucks and wold not fit in in my shirt pocket. 
I still have several chord books several inches thick.  The price sticker is still visible, $18-34.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2019-05-24, version 1.3*

Easy to use.  Easy to get quick info on chord progressions.

### 5/5 — Great Reference

*2018-11-24, version 1.3*

As an older beginner I like the ability to see just one chord and hear what it should sound like.  If I had an Apple watch I would like the ability to see the chord right there on the wrist. Keep up great work.

### 5/5 — Not impressed

*2017-12-27*

Just downloaded App onto phone and have been trying to get it to work with new Apple Watch series 3 , but getting compatibly issues. It doesn’t connect for long enough and doesn’t function 100%. Not happy...

### 5/5 — It works great for me

*2017-07-17*

Never have any problems loading a video, I generally watch the whole series one after the other so that helps, there's a scene button as well a lesson list button on the bottom of the video screen, before going into full screen mode, both on the LHS, which lists all the sub video in a lesson & the full list of lessons in the series, no, it doesn't remember what you watched or add that info to your profile, but frankly, if you can't remember what you've watched, you have much bigger problems than your apps. performance, no, it doesn’t add to your score either, if you're serious about learning to play, scoring is a non-issue, some of the best guitarists around showing you lessons on a hand-held device anywhere you have a signal? Just sheer players bliss, so, stop with what it can't do, and go with what it can, in buckets - Make you a better musician!  I'm so used to having to sign in with Apples i system, that's never been an issue, enjoy the app, it's 'kin amazing!

### 5/5 — Great helpfull app!!!

*2017-07-03, version 1.3*

For a free it helps a lot, at this moment i have found every single chord that i was looking for.

### 5/5 — Great Resource

*2017-04-30, version 1.3*

App has an extensive chart of chord listings on every fret of the board. Xlnt triads & Reference at your Fingertips.

### 5/5 — Easy to use!

*2016-11-22*

Easy to use, I can go and check many different ways of playing the same chord, the chord progression is helpful and it makes practice time easy. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Great App

*2016-09-06, version 1.3*

This a very, very useful app. It definitely helps with learning new chord variations.
