Otherwise, I was liking the app. ### 3/5 — Dommage *2013-03-22* Qu il ne reconnaisse pas les accords joués et nous donner le nom... Maj svp ### 3/5 — Coollll *2013-02-11* Intéressant sans plus!!!!!!!comment utiliser le 3ème menu déroulant?!!!!!!! ### 4/5 — It's a keyboard dictionary *2013-01-03* The app is meant to be a keyboard dictionary, not a music theory app. If you want a music app get Tenuto. I love this app because it has so many scales that you could never run out of ideas. ### 2/5 — Eh *2013-01-02* Not worth paying for. There are better apps for free. This one is very basic, which is usually a good thing but not this time. It is difficult to navigate through the different chords. The GUI is poorly designed too. Good idea but poor execution. ### 2/5 — 不具合あり *2012-11-06* 設定を開くと閉じることができません。また7th等の表記がわかりにくく、どれが3rd7thなのか分かりません。テンションは別で選べると良し！ ### 4/5 — Oups.... *2012-09-30* Ah...... Enfin des bons accords ! Et plein en plus... Impec. Ce qu il faut .... ### 5/5 — Excelente *2012-09-30* Muito bom! Vale a pena para quem quer aprender piano. ### 3/5 — Brauchbar *2012-09-15* Ich habe mir den App heute probiert.....läuft stabil...wer ein paar neue Akkorde und Ideen braucht dem kann ich nur empfehlen....spiele selbst seit Jahren Klavier ### 5/5 — Very good! *2012-08-28* Has all chords imaginable and sounds great. ### 3/5 — Перевод плохой *2012-08-14* Приложение неплохое, но сыровато, и перевод совершенно никуда не годится. Как можно было "мажор" перевести как "большой", а "минор" — как "малый"?! Откуда взялись root-прима-секунда, когда это, если брать обращение трезвучия, секст и квартсекст? Ну и так далее. Или дайте хотя бы возможность на международные обозначения переключиться, раз с переводом такая катастрофа. Кнопка настроек при открытой верхней панели выбора тональностей и ладов уезжает под сами настройки, так что ее не с первого раза сообразишь, как найти, чтоб закрыть. ### 4/5 — Simple But useful app *2012-08-09* I really just wanted a simple tool for dialing in various chords to see what dominant, augmented and diminished versions of each looked like. It does all of this and I think is worth the .99 I spent on it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Aucun intérêt *2020-10-07* Ne donne que la gamme de base de chaque tonalité. N'apporte rien. ### 1/5 — Please update! *2018-04-03* Great app, but it no longer works. Needs to be updated. ### 1/5 — Crashes on and on *2016-02-06* It keeps on crashing and won't open on an old iPad. The free version worked fine, but when I installed the paid version, all I get is crashes ...... Wasted a dollar!!! ### 1/5 — App startet nicht... *2015-01-19* ... und somit nicht mal einen Stern wert. ### 1/5 — accords et gammes pour piano *2014-09-04* Le descriptif n’étant pas très claire, je m’attendais à une app qui donne une multitude d’accords, surtout les farfelus (genre fa#9..), mais non, seulement les accords (et gammes) basiques des gammes majeures sont donnés. Bref: n’apporte rien ### 1/5 — Ios 5 *2014-05-16* Nach Update startet die App nicht mehr unter ios 5. ### 1/5 — Nicht so begeistert.... *2013-10-15* Wer sich komplexere Akkorde darstellen lassen oder wieder in Erinnerung rufen will (z.B. Cmmaj7(B5), Amaj7(#5) usw.) ist mit der APP eher schlechter beraten. An Akkorden finde ich die App sehr schwach ausgelegt. Hier würde ich eher die APP PChord empfehlen. Diese ist zunächst kostenlos und kann über einen APP-IN Kauf (leider 3,59 EUR) erweitert werden. Lohnt sich aber denke ich wirklich, wenn man alle Akkorde angezeigt bekommen möchte. ### 1/5 — Do not buy *2012-11-04* Just bought this app. It is terrible. Just simple stupid chords. ### 1/5 — Poor *2012-07-27, version 2.0* Only has major chords! ### 1/5 — I can't believe I spent $$ on this thing.... *2012-07-20* Users should be able to turn off the red color on the keyboard, and randomize the chord, and have test or something. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Update? *2019-01-21* You can update The app please for iOS 12? ### 5/5 — Please update! *2017-11-29* Please update the app! It’s something I check every once in a while to freshen up on my scales! ### 5/5 — Update Me! *2017-11-04* I use this app everyday. Please update it!!!! Thanks ### 5/5 — Update *2017-10-25* I love this app. I paid money for the upgrade. Please update it to operate with the latest update for Apple. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2014-09-21* I use this app all the time. Love it! In future versions, would love to see recommended fingerings in the scale section. ### 5/5 — Excellent! *2014-01-22* I have learnt more about music in five minutes using this app than in years of half-hearted attempts with using tutorials in books. I can now play a C minor blues progression with relative ease which was worth the purchase price alone. Finding chord variations is easy - once you find the tab that reveals the selection wheels. ### 5/5 — Great app *2013-12-08* Works great and very handy for on the run chords and scales and it also plays the chords and scales in sounds. ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2013-09-23* This app is perfect for anybody learning piano or keyboard and an excellent tool that can used for people who write electronic music through a MIDI keyboard. I've have yet to have any issues with this product. 5/5 ### 5/5 — Fabulous piano chord tool *2012-11-07* I am THRILLED with this app. I already can read music, but am trying to learn chords so I can play "fake" books, which have the melody and chord identified. I found a PC program like this sold by an online piano teacher for $39, and am not even sure it would work with my Mac or iPad. Instead I downloaded this. The graphics are clear. You can choose seemingly any possible, imaginable chord, and find out how to play it. The piano keys are clearly shown, and the chord plays either as a chord or arpeggio so you can heat it. FABULOUS! I am an adult student at the Jazz School in Berkeley, and chords they teach in class are scribbled on the board, so I worry about getting it written down correctly. here it is! Just put the iPad in the music holder on the piano and the mystery is gone. I would give it more than 5 stars if I could. ### 5/5 — This is the one you want *2012-11-07, version 2.1* Perfect simple quick little reference for keyboard scales and chords. Choose your scale or chord. Choose your root note. Highlights the relevant keys and also gives you an opportunity to listen to how it sounds. Im gona use this as a reference tool for when i play my MIDI keyboard in the studio. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
