### 5/5 — Perfect single purpose app

*2024-08-03*

I originally wrote this review on the free app because the write a review wasn’t immediately available. 

I downloaded this app a couple of years ago and love its simple clean interface especially when I’m looking for some weird chord voicing. I use it all the time. The link to the paid version doesn’t work and I don’t think it prompted me to pay for the ad free version so thought it was fallow unsupported app and was dreading the day it finally broke with an iOS update. 

 Anyway I was just upgrading an iPad and clicked on the developer to find there is a paid version, which I couldn’t buy for fast enough. There is no option to review the paid app so I’m leave this one here. 

 I appreciate the app so much and have used for years. I would happily give it six stars if I could and would have paid twice the price now know how useful it is to me. 

My only one little gripe if you Devs read this; there has to be Fsus2 open voicing and alternate odd open chords is usually what I use this app most for. You also might wanna fix that link or put some upgrades prompts in. 

Thanks again for a great simple app with a fantastic UI!

### 1/5 — Repeatedly crashes whenever you try to select an instrument😵‍💫

*2023-10-15*

No longer allows you select an instrument other than the default guitar … crashes repeatedly.

### 4/5 — Basic but mostly good

*2023-05-12*

You can try this for free as the Basichords app, but I wanted no ads so I bought it. It gets 4 stars because the guitar only has standard tuning. Would have been nice to see DADGAD chords.

### 1/5 — Pretty dumb app

*2020-06-16, version 1.5*

I bought this for mandolin. No tuner so you’re expected to tune it elsewhere . Pretty dumb.

### 3/5 — Doesn’t play chords

*2018-09-16*

App says tap on diagram, but no sound.

### 5/5 — Worth he price

*2018-02-03*

Works great. I use it for banjo and mandolin. Clean interface and gives you several options to pick from. Sometimes i build my own variation chords from what the app shows me and it’s easy because the app tells you where the root, 3rd, 5th etc notes are.

### 5/5 — Smart and responsive

*2016-10-18*

This is the easiest and best thought out stringed instrument chord app I have seen. Great job.

### 1/5 — I can no longer change instrument

*2016-10-02, version 1.4*

I made the mistake of switching to another instrument (I play the mandolin) and am now stuck with guitar chords. Can't seem to change back. What was a great app is no use to me anymore.

### 3/5 — Teak chords

*2016-07-14*

Great at showing the chords and the fingering. However, plays only the one chord, regardless of selection in both guitar and ukulele options

### 5/5 — Great App for Mandola

*2015-07-14, version 1.4*

So little mandola info out there. This little app is a great resource, puts all the chord charts for all three of my instruments (guitar, mandola, mandolin) at my fingertips. Simple, easy to use. Great app.
