### 4/5 — Pretty good

*2024-12-21, version 2.15*

Pretty good overall. It would be nice if the chord names were displayed in the way they are typically written on real music, e.g. C7, C+, Cmaj7 which would help learning recognition.

### 1/5 — Not much to it. Wasted

*2023-09-20, version 2.15*

Wasted. Not attractive enough and not worth for the money the content

### 5/5 — Must have for piano chord drills

*2021-02-03*

Best I found anywhere. Use it daily.

### 5/5 — Love app

*2018-10-25*

Add 9ths. Not uncommon chords particularly Xmas music

### 5/5 — Very happy with purchase!

*2017-06-23*

I was searching for a long time for an app where I could simply drill all of my chords and improve my sight recognition of them. Most of the apps out there would not display the chords with the bass and treble clef separately, or they were too expensive to buy for the simple chord drill I wanted. I was excited when this app had exactly what I wanted for a great price. On top of that, after purchase, I emailed the developer with a wish for the app, and he responded within a day and implemented my wish in the next version! It's nice to find a great app with a developer who cares about his customers!

### 5/5 — Master chords!

*2017-05-03*

Perfect app if you want to improve reading and playing chords (root and inversions)!  I looked at many, but on a whim chose this one and could not be more pleased.  So worth the price.  Additionally, I asked the developer for a small tweak; one week later, it's done!   That all by itself is mighty impressive!  If you are serious about chords, I cannot imagine how you could possibly dislike this great tool.

### 4/5 — Piano Chord Flas Cards

*2017-03-12*

The chord picker is a bit confusing, but the app does the best and most of any app I've seen for learning chords.

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2017-03-03*

I can use Airplay, an Apple  TV and this app to flash chords on a monitor while sitting at my piano.
Really speeds up chord recognition skills.
As a beginner, I love this app.

### 3/5 — Good start. Extensions?

*2017-02-22*

This app is getting good discussion at our jazz piano discussion group so I bought immediately. Great start! For jazz piano it's critical to have chord extensions, so could we see an update that reflects jazz chords like A7b13, Db7alt, Cmi11, G#7b9, etc?

### 5/5 — Great app for practicing chords

*2017-02-21*

Great update. The ability to only show the front of the card allows me to use the app at the piano in autoplay mode to practice playing chords in a random sequence. This allows me to go beyond circle of fourths/fifths practice, where muscle memory can take over and you only learn to play the chords in that particular order. By randomizing the sequence, you learn to jump to a particular chord from anywhere on the piano.
