User reviews

Useful and intuitive app

I wish there were more chord types listed, and perhaps that the chord names conformed to the naming conventions that I know. However, the user interface is great, and I like being able to play the chords from my phone. Very good job!!

Great for scales

Complete fretboard knowledge in any key

Great tool for beginner Guitar and Ukulele player

Would give it 5 stars if you can fix the alternate ADGCEA tuning you call โ€œbaritoneโ€ in your App which is not linear so it can be effectively be used for the guitalele. The C jumps one octave higher while the other notes are a properly ascending. Or maybe add an alternate tuning for the gutarlele/ guilele which are becoming more and more popular now. I upgraded to โ€œall accessโ€ on both the guitar and ukulele apps.

These are really amazing apps and potentially the only one needs for the guitar or ukulele with the built in tuners, chord and scale charts, a decent metronome with rhythm patterns.

Crashes

App just exits when in favorites and edit mode

Infinautโ€™s fix please!

So far Iโ€™ve found the d7 and bm are missing a note at the top of the neck and when I display all cord notes in settings there is a floating ghost note or two to the left of the headstock.

This app is really awesome for learning guitar, really brilliant but needs a small update.
