Then you could swipe up and down to reveal the next position. And adding Swiping left to right to change the key of chord. ### 4/5 — Bug on augmented chord *2023-11-01, version 1.0.2* Please fix augmented chord . Augmented chord is 1-3-5#. Your app is displaying 1-3-4# instead ### 4/5 — Excellent app, but could be improved. *2023-02-07, version 1.0.2* Looks great and is intuitive to use. Allows the user to add their own tunings. The creator has made this app completely free and with no advertisements, which is absolutely awesome! My only quibble is that it only has a small selection of scales. I’d like to practice in Phrygian and Locrian among others, but those options aren’t available. ### 4/5 — Great app for intermediate guitarists. *2022-05-14, version 1.0.2* This app is INCREDIBLY well put together. The notes that make up a chord are color coded. That alone is amazing. You can tell which one is your root, minor third, and perfect fifth. Knowing this is extremely important especially if you plan to play leads. The scale variety is limited, but for an app that’s free, it’s amazing. The chords are expansive enough to present you with Sus chords, but limited if you want to delve into slash chords or sixths and all that jazz. It’s definitely a feature I’d be willing to pay for if there was a pro version created. Overall I’d say this is a solid app, especially if you’re an intermediary level player, however, even a seasoned guitarist can utilize this app to create slash chords even if the bass note isn’t present. ### 5/5 — Extremely Useful *2025-11-12, version 1.0.3* This is the best app out there for finding scales and chords in alternative tunings. You can custom set any tuning and then drag the chords up the fret to find anything. Highly recommend to anyone trying to unlock more of the fretboard ### 5/5 — Simple and Excellent *2024-10-07, version 1.0.2* This app does everything it needs to do with no fluff, ads, or in-app purchases. ### 5/5 — No annoying ads or in app purchases *2024-09-02* This app includes many awesome guitar tools and has no annoying ads or in app purchases. It is awesome. Get it. ### 5/5 — Wow. It actually helped me understand the fretboard. *2023-03-18, version 1.0.2* This app made it really easy to understand how the notes relate to one another. Love it. Thank you for making this. The fretboard just ‘clicked’ for me as I dragged the notes around. ## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Gorgeous! *2022-07-14, version 1.0.2* This app is perfect for a beginner player like me. It made learning the notes on the fretboard so easy. I dig the “Hold to change key” feature. Thank you for your hard work. It would probably be nice to have more scales for more advanced players or to have an option to create our own. ### 5/5 — Good looking app *2022-03-13, version 1.0.2* The app looks very good and seems very useful but I can’t figure out how to change to ukulele mode as your features say you support ukulele. How do you do that? ### 5/5 — great app *2021-12-27* looks and feels great and does exactly what its supposed to in a clear and efficient way. ### 5/5 — If you don’t have this, change that *2021-12-27, version 1.0.2* Its amazing the number of things this app can do others can’t (for free even). I’m an experienced guitar player and I haven’t come across anything this useful. 10/10 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
