A little room to strum. Find your chords, catch a melody, and spend some time with your ukulele, at your own pace. Lazy Lopez: Ukulele is a practice companion that stays out of your way. No streaks to keep, no goals to hit, no account to make. LEARN SONGS 1,052 songs are built in, chords ready, with nothing to download. Tell the library which chords you know and it shows what's ready to play tonight, and what's one or two chords away. Open any chord as a large diagram and hear it ring. Transpose a semitone at a time, simplify the awkward shapes, and get capo hints. Paste in a tab and a cursor follows the notes as they play back. Line songs up in setlists for jam night, and record yourself working one out. TUNE UP Standard high-G, low-G, baritone and D tunings, plus a library of your own: name a tuning and save as many as you have instruments. The tuner works out which string you're on and calls you in tune within ten cents. CHORDS, SCALES AND STRUMS Chords are grouped into eight families, so you pick the sound you want and then the root. 70 scales, every one built for gCEA, laid out across the neck, and you can build your own by tapping the notes you want. Six strumming patterns and four picking patterns count you in and speed up gradually. PLAY WITH A BAND Pick a key and a feel and drums, bass and keys lock in behind you, across nine grooves, from island to blues. Loop it, change it, record over the top. 41 chord progressions come in genre and mood packs, or build your own from the chords that live in your key. PRACTICE, YOUR WAY Three ready-made routines to start from, a metronome from 40 to 240 BPM, twelve backing loops, an ear trainer, and a fretboard note trainer. Run a session with a calm timer. THE WOODSHED Bring in an audio file, loop the bar that keeps beating you, and slow it to half speed without the pitch dropping with it. CAPTURE IDEAS Hum the melody before it floats off. The chords and key are worked out on your device and kept with the idea. IPHONE, IPAD, MAC AND WATCH One app for iPhone and iPad, plus a native Mac app. On iPhone there's also an Apple Watch app with a metronome, tuner and chord diagrams, a home-screen widget for the tuner, metronome and jam, and Live Activities that keep your tempo and timer on the Lock Screen. YOURS, ON YOUR DEVICE Your songs, takes and ideas live on your device. No account, no cloud sync, nothing to sign up for. Back up your practice log, routines, progressions, and saved setups to a file you keep and read it back on a new phone; the log exports as a spreadsheet too. Optional analytics are off unless you turn them on, and they never include your songs, audio or notes. Every feature is free, and the optional tip jar unlocks nothing.

Your songs, ideas, recordings and settings are right where you left them. The one change is the look: the app now has a single Lazy Lopez theme that follows your phone's Light or Dark setting, so a colour theme you picked before is not kept. Made for iPhone Duo: a music stand that keeps time, and a hinge you can strum. On iPhone Duo • Stand it on the table. Open the phone halfway and set it down: the chord sheet, tuner, metronome, loops, Jam, drills and routines put what you read on the upright half and what you tap on the flat half. The sheet keeps scrolling on its own and its text steps up a size. Nothing moves until the phone is actually standing. • Strum with the hinge. Fold the Duo and it strums the chord on screen: closed is a down-strum, open is an up-strum, and how hard you flick is how loud. The strumming trainer gets a Strum Along card, so you can feel the Island Strum in your hand before your right hand can keep up. Down and Up buttons do the same by touch. • Bend a chord. While a chord rings on its page, fold a little further and it bends up to a whole step. A slider under the chord does the same by touch. • Flip cards. Turn Flip on in the fretboard trainer or the ear trainer. A closed phone asks the question, opening it turns the card over, closing it deals the next one. Show answer and Next are still a tap away. • Capture closed, develop open. Record an idea with the phone shut, open it, and the idea is waiting on the big screen with its riff tab and notes beside the waveform. A take in progress also survives the phone opening or closing. • Everywhere else on the Duo, every screen keeps clear of the side strip, the welcome headline fits, and the chord and scale rows stop where the clock begins. The hinge features follow the phone's hinge angle and each has a touch equivalent. On every other iPhone nothing changes. ### 1.4 — 2026-09-07 Find a chord by family — and build scales and tunings of your own. • Chords, grouped the way you'd ask for them — Pick a family (major, minor, dominant, suspended, diminished and the rest), then pick the root. 168 chords across eight families, so Cm and Cm7 finally sit together instead of landing in different filters. • Poke a note to hear it — The NOTES row under a chord or scale looked like buttons and wasn't. Now a chord tone sounds at the pitch it actually holds in the shape on screen and lights that string's dot; a scale degree sounds in the box drawn above it. • Scales you build yourself — Tap the notes you want and the scale is yours, with its own spelling, fretboard box, neck map and playback, exactly like a bundled one. Twelve modes of harmonic and melodic minor come bundled too — 70 scale shapes in all. • A library of your own tunings — Name a tuning and keep it. As many as you have instruments, each with its own strings, instead of one unnamed slot the next save quietly wiped. • Your theory library — Heart any chord, scale, or progression and it waits under a Saved pill, with recents beside it. Chords show where they want to resolve, and every scale unrolls across the whole neck, in your tuning. • A copy you keep — Settings can write your practice log, routines, progressions, and the scales and tunings you built to one file, and read it back on a new phone. The log also exports as a spreadsheet. It all stays on your device: no account, nothing uploaded. • The screen stays awake while the mic is live — A take no longer ends with you unlocking the phone to reach Stop. • Squashed — B9 has a voicing at last; Bdim is no longer "simplified" to B major; a scale's notes row and its neck agree on spelling; the tuner picks up a tuning chosen in Settings without a relaunch; every Ear Trainer round actually plays; long tabs keep every system when imported; reordering a setlist can't scramble it; and turning analytics off really turns it off. • A quiet note in Settings about the rest of the family: Guitar, Bass and Drum Buddha. Thanks for playing — and for writing in. — Ukulele Buddha ### 1.3 — 2026-08-09 Somewhere to start — and an app that remembers how you play. • Practice sessions, ready to run — Routines now opens with three you can start straight away: a first session that walks you from tuning to a song, ten quiet minutes for a thin day, and one for when two chords have stopped being hard. Duplicate any of them to make it yours. • It remembers how you practise — Count-in, the gradual speed-up, the metronome's accent, simplified chords, the scale you like seeing: set them once and they're still set next time. • Speeding up works while you play — "Speed up gradually" used to need a stop and a restart before it did anything. It now takes effect mid-loop. • Tell me what's broken — A Send feedback row in Settings writes the mail for you, with your version and device already filled in. It comes straight to me, and it's how most of this update happened. • The tip jar recovers — After a tip goes through, or doesn't, the jar opens normally again instead of staying stuck on the last attempt. • Tidier on the Mac — The app installs under its real name, and the User Guide opens in your browser where it belongs. • A quiet note in Settings about the rest of the family: Guitar, Bass and Drum Buddha. Thanks for playing — and for writing in. — Ukulele Buddha ### 1.2 — 2026-07-25 Build your own progressions — and keep the chords in front of you. • Progression builder — Stack your own chord progressions and let the band play them back. The palette leads with the chords in your key, plus borrowed chords and secondary dominants, each labeled as you go — and any chord can hang for a bar or four. • Progressions by the pack — Dozens of new progressions grouped into genre and mood packs (pop, blues, folk, dreamy, and more), each with a strum to match. • Same chords, new groove — Pick a groove on any progression and the whole band re-feels it: island, half-time, reggae. • Keep the chords in view — A song's chord diagrams now pin to the bottom of the screen, so they stay with you while you scroll the song. Tap one to hear it, or tuck the bar away. • A tutorial for every song — Each song links straight to a ukulele tutorial made for learners, alongside the full performance. • A nudge when there's more — Ukulele Buddha now lets you know when a new version is waiting in the App Store. Thanks for playing. — Ukulele Buddha ### 1.0 — 2026-07-14 No release notes. ## Apps similar to Lazy Lopez | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Ear Training Mandala](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/ear-training-mandala/id6760268842) | 5.0 (9) | Free | Music | | [Soloist Ukulele: Chords & Tabs](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/soloist-ukulele-chords-and-tabs/id6779970794) | — | Free | Music | | [Riddiments — Drum Practice](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/riddiments-drum-practice/id6782253188) | 5.0 (1) | Free | Music | | [PocketChop](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/pocketchop/id6770474050) | — | Free | Music | | [Ukulalala - Learn Ukulele](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/ukulalala-learn-ukulele/id6760819688) | 4.3 (4) | Free | Music | | [Leaf Light](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/leaf-light/id6787166960) | 5.0 (2) | Free | Music | ## More apps by Lazy Lopez Productions - [Lazy Lopez: Guitar](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/lazy-lopez-guitar/id6778687475) - [Lazy Lopez: Drums](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/lazy-lopez-drums/id6789965956) - [Lazy Lopez: Bass](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/lazy-lopez-bass/id6789966674) - [Plant Buddha](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/plant-buddha/id6823655017) All apps by Lazy Lopez Productions: https://appshunter.io/developer/405581486 ## Related topics [ukulele songs](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/ukulele-songs) · [baritone ukulele](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/baritone-ukulele) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
