Quite good!
Navichord is a fun and elegant way to save and play chord progressions. It includes tutorials and examples that demonstrate what can be done, but seem to only scratch the surface of what is possible. I’m having fun! Excellent value, great features, and fun to use; intuitive too.
Good app but buggy
I like the app a lot, very clean layout and intuitive to use, but it's been really buggy for me. The dials for setting chords and timing seem to often not line up with what's labeled (like I'll select 3 beats but it will give me 4 instead), and at one point it just stopped letting me edit chords altogether, even after closing the app and restarting my device. I ended up having to reinstall it to get it to work. But if it weren't for those issues I'd give it a 4 or 5.

Super, aber:
Super Konzept, UI leider ziemlich umständlich.
Skalen umschalten sollte z.B. im Main Fenster möglich sein, nicht mit 4 Klicks, die man JEDES MAL wieder drücken muss.
Sequenzer auch zu viel hin und her, ausserdem wären hier verschiedene Pattern schön.

ok
warum kann ich das nicht im AUM nutzen? einbinden?
One off the Best piano/midi control
This is by far one of the best apps on IOS!

Amazing chord symmetry
Better than the circle of fifths! this is a really powerful tool. I like the ability to play chords with one finger. There’s a helpful diagram to show how to play different chords although this could be expanded. It sure would be great to have the chords translated on a guitar fretboard as an option. I think the functionality of the app could be improved say if you move your finger in a designated space and the notes shifted upwards in pitch or downward expanding the notes of the cord. Also it would be great to have some sort of velocity control. It would be really great to have an actual playable instrument. Something similar to GeoShred complete with some really great sounds. It also would be great to be able to change the orientation of the notes to mirror image or rotate the sequence. So I could match my other isotonic. One thing that’s a little annoying is that it’s easy for your finger just to veer off a little bit and play a bunch of notes that you did not intend to play. Geo shred seems to handle this with some sort of curve so it keeps you within the boundaries. It seemed like it would be a great feature to have more notes on the screen and actually have a playable instrument. So far this app helps me with understanding intervallic theory and constructing chords. Overall I think this app is very helpful.

语言使用不方便，希望快解决
I downloaded it when I saw Chinese on it. It didn't. It was very difficult to use
Smart layout but no touch sensitivity
Really well laid out for creating inspiring combinations of chords and notes. The problem is that that there’s no touch sensitivity, so every chord or every note you play comes out at the same velocity as the last one, which prevents this from being a performance or recording tool. It forces you to take the chords and such you come up with here and then play them in another MIDI controller app.
There is a setting for adjusting the velocity, but it only moves the velocity of every chord you play up or down to to that velocity.

Wonderful for live performances, but…
The app is the best for what I am doing (see title of review), but I do have a couple items that would put it over the top. I truly believe if it had at least one of these two suggestions it would be truly amazing. 1. MIDI assignable presets
or
2. AUv3 compliance
The reason- I use it to manually progress through the chords during live performances. Having MIDI assignable presets and/or AUv3 integration would make calling up different song presets with one button on my MIDI controller a breeze.
But this thing is great.

Time for an update ?
Just found this app and am really enjoying it’s capabilities. The user guide page says coming soon. lol
Some actual documentation and new features would be useful. Cheers

Wunderschöne App mit vielen Möglichkeiten.
Als Musikneuling habe ich zunächst die Lite Version “gekauft”, immer mal wieder damit rumgespielt und dann wieder beiseite gelegt, da ich weder die Bedienung noch das System verstanden habe.
Gestern hat es dann endlich “Klick” gemacht und ich verstehe zumindest schon mal einen Teil. Wie genial dieses Konzept ist, hätte ich nicht erahnt. Wer über mehr Kenntnisse verfügt, hat damit sicherlich ungeahnte Möglichkeiten. Ich jedenfalls bin auf die Vollversion umgestiegen und freue mich auf das, was da kommt.

AMAZING.
Thanks a lot for this marvel! It takes musical smartness to another level.

Super useful
Love this app, well thought out and functions perfectly, well done
No Manual
Should have a manual to show you how to use all the option instead of just a couple videos especially controlling other apps and setting up controllers
Great, but with one missing feature
Navichord is fantastic for guitarists playing live who want to use a MIDI foot controller to trigger synth sounds. Navichord’s MIDI learn capabilities are very well thought out. You can assign a variety of Navichord’s functions to MIDI CC numbers to be sent by your MIDI foot controller, such as triggering specific pads, playing the next chord in a chord progression, playing the previous chord, etc. You can also save for different songs, each having the chord progression(s) you need.
The only functionality that I believe is missing is being able to assign presets to MIDI PC values so they can be recalled with your foot controller. Currently, you have to load the preset manually on your iPad or iPhone screen.

NAVICHORD
EXTREMELY VERSATILE
Beautiful
Great app, music theory made easy. Chords and scales made easy to understand and chord progressions fun
The awesome feature Navichord does that the others do not.
After a chord progression has been set up, and external midi device like a foot controller with buttons can click forward through a progression one click/cord at a time, and also configure a different button to step back in like one cord at a time in the progression. This feature is not found in other cord sequence or apps, except one old one. I play bass in a three-piece band that does not have any keyboards, just a guitar singer and drummer. With Navichord one can set up a cord progression for songs in a set list, choose the keyboard sounds to play for each song then play keyboard chords with 1 foot. This is also a fantastic feature because it allows the band to be spontaneous and stretch out songs, play faster slower, pause, hold, stop or whatever. Having to follow a metered sequence where things can run off the rails and the band loses some authenticity and that live feel. Also the developer is available if needed. It would be really cool if he continue to evolve Navichord with new features, not complaining, but…
