### 2/5 — No midi out

*2024-01-07*

Could be seriously indispensable with midi out. Without it, not so much…

### 5/5 — Cool app

*2023-07-19*

I am enjoying this app

### 1/5 — Paid for ProVersion, but no MIDI options anywhere… No contact info for help…

*2023-04-08*

This is easy 5 star app, but I can’t see any midi options in app, does not appear as a midi device, etc.
If the dev will help, I’ll change review…

Please help!

### 5/5 — Great Tool!

*2021-09-26, version 4.1*

Perfect for musicians of all experience levels.  An excellent tool for jamming & composing.

### 4/5 — Great for Chords! MIDI Out maybe not?

*2021-02-17, version 4.1*

Pro:
Love using this app with Audiobus to connect with other apps on my device. Allows for quick access to chords and works wonderfully. Happily paid for pro version to support the app. 

Con:
When I try to use a cable to connect to other devices or my computer the MIDI out does not seem to work. The original MIDI out icon as show in the product mock up seems to be missing from the app. Would love to know how to get this to work.

### 4/5 — How to unsubscribe from pro

*2020-12-22, version 4.1*

It’s a pretty good app. Let’s just say I wanted to cancel the pro subscription, how do I do that? I don’t see anything that says settings or anything

### 5/5 — Great App but some advice

*2020-08-08, version 4.1*

Bought the pro version it’s great but it would be nice if you guys added more chord progressions and more genres please that would take it to the next level overall very satisfied!!

### 5/5 — Clear, Fast, and Easy! Love it!

*2020-07-05, version 4.1*

I just got this five minutes ago but I already love it! So efficient and quick to find just the cords I need! Thank you, developers!!!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2020-04-24, version 4.0*

I upgraded to Pro — but can’t find any additional features — but happy to support this product.

**Developer response:** Many scales, voicings and progressions are only available in the Pro version.
Thank you for your support!

### 4/5 — E augmented bug in the matrix

*2020-04-22*

Any time I choose an E augmented chord without a base line in the matrix it gives me base line.

**Developer response:** Thank you for reporting the problem!
