### 1/5 — Bugs

*2025-10-27*

Basically the title

### 5/5 — Incredible no nonsense guitar tool

*2022-05-16*

Don’t let the utilitarian UI dissuade you, this little piece of software is a powerful app that can help increase your understanding of the fretboard and music theory at large. Also recommend getting the chord pack dlc if only for your convenience.

### 5/5 — Best chord finder

*2019-03-13*

This is my favourite chord finder bar none,because you can hear it instantly and it enables you to decide for yourself if that tone sounds right for you.

### 5/5 — Well Done!

*2016-01-17*

This App teaches all you need to know for a strong foundation in music progressions. I'm impressed!

### 5/5 — アレンジ時に重宝してます。

*2015-10-23*

友人から依頼されるギタートラックのアレンジを考える時に重宝しています。

知らないコードネームが譜面にあった時や、知ってるコードでも違うフォームやポジションを探せます。

欲を言えば、現在4つの異なるフォームが表示できますが、カッティングに適した、ベース音を省略したフォームや、トップノートを指定して検索ができるなどのバリエーションが増えれば、より便利に効率的にアレンジが進みます。

こらからも期待しています！
