### 4/5 — A great start

*2024-03-01*

The user interface is so intuitive and straightforward that it was easy to start playing with ideas and converting them into their negatives before needing to read any how-to documentation.

The maximum of 8 stored chords is extremely limiting, however, so being able to save many more than that would be terrific. Or being able to save sets of chords together as their own songs that one  could save and load would also be a great improvement.

Also, while it's nice that each saved chord lists out its component notes, an even better approach would be for the chords to be identified by their names. Some of the chords this app spits out in negative are quite unusual and it would be an immense help for the app to let the user know what they are.

Thanks for creating this app and opening the door to exciting musical exploration!

### 5/5 — Perfect for negative harmonies

*2020-10-26, version 1.0*

Great tool for finding negative harmonies quickly, can add an interesting classical or jazz sound to compositions if done right. It’s nice that you can change the axis/ key and hear the resulting chord.
