### 1/5 — Die App liest alle Daten vom iPad /iPhone aus, es sei denn

*2024-07-20*

man schaltet ca 100!!! Einwilligungen aus. Da ist der Nutzen d.d. Verkauf deiner Daten für Werbung für die Entwickler klar im Vordergrund.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2023-12-21*

Must have for uke players showing all the cords and different places to play them. Also showing how they should sound. Fabulous

### 5/5 — Absolutely the most comprehensive ukulele chord App

*2023-05-02*

Great App because it has the most chord options, and also shows each note/string’s function within each chord (i.e., Root, 3rd, 5th, 7th, b7th, etc.), which is super helpful.  
   Two suggested improvements:

1) give us the option to always show all the available chords without having to press the “+ More” button all the time.  That’s a hassle. 

2) besides showing each note/string’s function (R,3,5,b7), show the note name, too, e.g. Ab,C,D#, under the note’s function.

With those 2 changes, it would be the best chord App ever!

### 2/5 — Previous version was better

*2023-01-02*

The newest version is more cluttered, and hard to read.  Can I go back to the old version?  I gave that one 5 stars.

### 5/5 — Great app - my go-to chord library!

*2022-12-15*

Extensive chord library and a simple easy to follow format. The pro version is very modestly priced and highly recommended.

### 2/5 — Stopped working on iOS 16.1.1

*2022-11-21*

The app crashes when the “settings” icon is selected.

### 5/5 — The best

*2022-10-06*

This is the best app I have found to use as a comprehensive chord shape source. However it needs to be updated for use with iPhone 14 and the latest iOS operating system. It still works on the iPad but not on the latest iPhone operating system.

### 5/5 — Great App, I wouldn’t be without it.

*2022-04-10*

I’ve made full use of this app. So far, I have not been disappointed.
I upgraded straight away to the paid version, it’s so convenient to use, and has always come up with the goods when I’m stuck.
Cheaper than any of the chord books I’ve bought, and always in my pocket.

### 4/5 — Good app

*2021-01-26*

This is a good app if you just want the chords. Free version really doesn’t offer a good enough selection for anyone with a bit of musical ability but 3.99 seemed reasonable to have the full range at my fingertips. I don’t need a tuner built in and there are plenty of tunes available online - if you just want a large range of chords in multiple positions, this is excellent.

### 5/5 — 10 out of 5 Stars!

*2020-06-12*

This is an amazing resource for uke players, from beginners to pro’s. So many chords!
Thanks!
