### 5/5 — So many helpful tools inside

*2025-01-17, version 4.3.3*

This app is great for both beginner and the seasoned player. Explore many chord variations and in different positions up the neck, scales, metronome, tunings…Ya some paid add ons but very affordable.

### 4/5 — Works for me

*2019-12-27, version 4.3.3*

Very nice little app. Free version does everything I need. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Excellente appli

*2019-07-05, version 4.3.3*

La meilleure disponible, je l’ai depuis plusieurs années déjà, pas de pub, et tout est là, pas besoin de recourir à quoi que ce soit d’autre ! Et gratuite en plus !!

### 1/5 — Not for beginner

*2019-05-11, version 4.3.3*

Difficult to use.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2019-05-06, version 4.3.3*

This is a very very useful bit of kit for finding those obscure chords and also for learning to play chords up the finger board. If you haven't got it my advice is get it.

### 5/5 — Easy to use, and has a wealth of information

*2019-01-11*

This is a very easy to use app! AND has all the notes, chords and scales for the BARITONE ukulele - which is tuned like a guitar! Thank you, as there is so little instruction and info on this tuning and instrument!

### 4/5 — Teaching

*2018-07-13, version 4.3.3*

I teach Ukulele and I find this app very useful especially tracking down obscure chords well worth the investment for the ad free version.

### 4/5 — Great on iPad but clunky on iPhone

*2018-04-14, version 4.3.3*

I like this app on my iPad and I also have it on my iPhone .... it is a bit clunky on the phone, mainly when using the up and down arrows. It does omit a couple of fairly obvious inversions but is still useful none the less.

### 5/5 — Amazing to use and enjoy

*2017-10-18*

I love how easy it is, not only to find chords, but to modify them and find them anywhere on the fretboard. I use this app all the time to learn how to transition to some chords easily and how to make them more interesting than the regular chord shapes. 

Now if they update the bass companion to ios11, that would rock my world!!!!

### 5/5 — Ukulele companion

*2017-09-11, version 4.3.3*

Excellent app for practicing with.
