### 4/5 — Piano Chord

*2016-10-05*

This app is friendly & easy to use.
Truly one of the best chord apps out there. 
A must have!!! Can use more features.

### 3/5 — 기대하고 받았는데 튕기네요 ㅠㅠ

*2014-09-26, version 2.1*

켜자마자 튕기는데 어떻게 해야 하나요ㅠㅠ

### 4/5 — Great Chord App, but some bugs...

*2014-05-17*

New Review:
Bug in the chord change playback. It resets to major, even with the presets saved to other qualities. 

This is a great chord finding app. I use it all the time to make progression for my pieces. There are some things I wish the app had however. First, the organization of the chords doesn't make much sense to me. For instance the dim7 and half dim7 (named m7-5) are nowhere close to each other. It would be nice if you can move the chord locations manually so each user can have the layout each person prefers. There are also some duplicate chords, like dim and m-5.

It would also be nice if you can create your own chords. One chord I like using is the m-6 or Maj-6, but they are not on the app. A create a custom chord feature would be very helpful.

The last thing I wish to see in this app is a bigger favorites screen. The favorites screen is very helpful. Instead of having a 5x6 screen, something bigger like a 8x12, or 12x20. 

This app it's great for composers and musicians. With these fixes, I think it could be even better!

### 3/5 — 오히려 이전버전이 사용하기 쉬운듯

*2014-01-25, version 2.1*

버전업되면서 사용하기가 더 어려운듯 ㅜ 
글고 사용법이 없으니 배우려고 하는 사람에겐 무용지물

### 3/5 — 코드 입력별 자동재생

*2011-10-15, version 1.4*

코드를 원하는대로 입력하고 재생이 가능했으면 좋겠어요 ㅠㅠ 그게 아쉽네요

### 3/5 — 결재 중복

*2011-09-14, version 1.4*

결재가 두번되엇어요 하루 지나고 또 한번 되네요 확인후 하나는 취소 꼭 부탁드려요

### 3/5 — Pretty good, but

*2011-07-15, version 1.4*

No change of orientation when iPad/pod turned on axis. I always seem to turn it on and it is upside down!  

Plays same notes no matter what note you choose within the chord display, sound doesn't change as root note changed. 

No inversions displayed, or available as option.

### 4/5 — Gutes Nachsclagewerk

*2011-06-08, version 1.4*

Einfach und übersichtlich.

### 4/5 — Awesome.

*2011-01-20, version 1.3*

Nearly perfect. 
Please add abilty to play single keys.
Missing manual.

### 2/5 — 환불요청합니다.

*2011-01-10, version 1.3*

결제 두번되었네요 확인후 환불 부탁드립니다.

### 4/5 — まぁまぁ

*2011-01-05, version 1.3*

意外と使えると思います。ピアノ弾く時に横に置いて見る感じなので、これくらいあればちょうど良いかも！

### 4/5 — *Some important suggestions*

*2010-12-07*

The description says that the app would play the chord for me.  The developers have failed to mention that IT WON'T PLAY THE CHORDS IF THE PHONE IS ON SILENT MODE!! EVEN IF YOU ARE WEARING HEADPHONES!!  This may not look like a big deal, but it is the little things that make a great app.

Also, I took for granted that when you said I would be able to play all the favorite chords for "continuous playing to the end," it would do so automatically.  Guess what?  No.  If you want the "continuous playing" you will have to click chord by chord MANUALLY one after another.  Also, I would love to have a way to REARRANGE MY FAVORITE CHORDS IN 'MY FAVORITES' PAGE.

If there is such a way to do those tasks mentioned above, I wasn't able to figure it out because there was NO TUTORIAL.  Including a tutorial page will help many users figure out what's what, such as what a symbol means and how to use that app in general.  After all, some of these people may very well be beginners, to music or to iphones/ipods.  Not many people would be happy to sit down and figure out how the app works for 15 mins, like I did.

I gave this app 4 stars, despite these flaws, because I think it has tremendous value and potential.  There are literally, hundreds of combinations to find your favorite chords, whether you are writing a song or just have begun to learn music.

You will get my last star when you make those changes.
Thank you, Developers.

### 1/5 — 구매목록 삭제해주세요

*2016-04-18, version 2.2*

구매목록 삭제해주세요

### 1/5 — 쓰레기어플

*2015-02-11, version 2.1*

정말 어처구니없는...

### 1/5 — Unacceptable.

*2013-03-30*

Doesn't play without headphones. How can a developer make such a mistake? Would otherwise be worth it.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2011-08-23*

Shows upside down and same chord is repeated over and over.  Sorry I purchased this.

### 1/5 — allso booba

*2011-07-11, version 1.4*

es ist schlecht und sch......

### 1/5 — 음질이 너무

*2011-03-03, version 1.4*

음질이 너무 안좋네요

어쩜 이리도 불쾌한 소리가 나는지..

소리 보완해야할듯하네요

### 1/5 — 짜증나네요.폰을 기절시킵니다.

*2010-09-21, version 0*

Maj13 을 눌러보세요.뎅뎅뎅...딜레이음이 울린후 폰을기절시킵니다.버그같습니다.유용한 어플인데 빨리고쳐지길 바랍니다.

### 1/5 — Not work!

*2009-11-13, version 0*

App does not work in iPhone 3GS.
I hope update right now.

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2016-03-26*

The color codes on the keys don't make any sense. It sounds the chord out but doesn't actually show the movement of the keys. With all of the colors, it's hard to tell what keys are actually being sounded. Very counterintuitive.

### 5/5 — Great and easy to use

*2018-04-06*

The app is great and easy to use...a bargain for the price. Red plus blue keys show the chord in root position...Yellow keys show inversions.
The two play buttons play the chord in root.

### 5/5 — Not as I Remember, but still great.

*2017-02-12*

I just came back to iphone from a 3GS to a 7 plus now. I was looking for this app it looks different now, but still functions the same with added features. For those of you that do not know what the colors mean. The red note is the root note, the blue notes are the other notes within the chord, the lime green notes are alternative ways to play the chord.

### 5/5 — 정말 좋아요~

*2014-03-26, version 2.1*

코드가 쉽게 나오니 참 편하네요 전부 다나오고 코드 진행 작곡 등 할때 편해요

### 5/5 — Favorite chord app

*2013-11-29*

If you're still learning or a pro this app will either help you learn the chords ( or reinforce them.) Pros will like to use this for chord progression. Great app

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2013-11-02*

I use this app when I need to look up chords! It's easy an very handy

### 5/5 — 결제

*2012-07-07, version 1.4*

결제가 2번 됐다고 뜨는데 확인해주세요~

### 5/5 — Mist! ...zumindest auf dem iPad

*2011-07-16, version 1.4*

Ich hatte eine App gesucht, um - die für die Nutzung meines AKAI-Chord-Finders zwingend notwendige - Lesebrille weglegen zu können...

... und wurde bitter enttäuscht.

- iPhone-Layout x 2 = Krümelk... auf dem Display.
- Bei Verwendung des SmartCovers (liegend) steht die Anzeige auf dem Kopf
- Bunte Punkte auf den Tasten ohne Erklärung (ich habe zumindest keine gefunden...)
- Umkehrungen werden nicht sinnvoll angezeigt, da Tastatur zu kurz / nicht verschiebbar

Insgesamt ein ziemlicher Pfusch - entweder spielt der Programmierer kein Keyboard oder er beherrscht ohnehin alles...

... bei mir bleibts (leider) beim alten treuen Chord-Finder für die Hosentasche - schade, man hätte was draus machen können...

### 5/5 — Great!

*2010-12-26*

Awesome app. I've learned so many chords from this! I'm just a beginner and this has helped me a lot! Highly recommended!

### 5/5 — Pianotastic

*2010-11-07, version 0*

Very handy app.Much better than using a chord book (especially when you find the chord and the book closes when you put it down).highly recommended and a real bargain.

### 5/5 — 좋네요..

*2010-10-05, version 0*

제가 생각했엇던 어플인데 좋균요... 
그 그런것도 됐으면 좋겠어요
사용자가 주법을 선택해서 노래의 코드만 알면 반주를 넣을수있게..
다양한 주법이 있어야겟죠.. 그리고 템포설정도 가능해야겟죠.. 어렵겟지만 부탁드료봅니다
