Thank you. ### 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. ### 4/5 — Good chord reference tool *2017-08-22, version 4.3.3* Also useful as a tuner. Good job on fixing problems with recent upgrade. Thanks! ### 4/5 — I t I am zzz witheewu n *2017-06-18, version 3.2.0* EtcI'm sorry I was I DZ the app we way you at caned the way the word of godeer was A reward either s ar we be ### 3/5 — I Call A Bb. Give me the choice. *2016-06-18, version 3.2.0* Seems like this would be a simple option. Please add it, and then I'll pay to remove the ads. ### 2/5 — constantly crashing or something *2016-04-18, version 3.2.0* has this app been forgotten? it's not working for me anymore. won't play the notes to let me tune or the chords and no metronome. nothing. soundless. useless. big bummer. ### 2/5 — Disappointing *2015-06-04* The app fee app only buys you the starter shell for most of the features listed for the app you have to buy, buy, buy... It is not a complete app... Only a little taste of what it could be and frankly, there are other apps that do the same thing without pestering you for more money (nickel and dime you to death). I would not recommend his app. ### 4/5 — Excellent chord reference *2015-03-07, version 3.2.0* This is a very handy app. It has all the Uke chords you will need and more. I want to try different turnings so I purchased all turnings for something like $4.99. I then got the ad free version for a similar amount. You can then purchase drum rhythms if you want but I have another app that will cover that. My only criticism is that there is no indication in the turnings as to if they are re entrant or not or numbers to show which octaves to tune to. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2015-02-19* This app gives every version of every chord in every key: it makes chord charts obsolete. And it gives fingerings, too. This app has definitely improved my ukulele experience. I'm still using it more than a year after I downloaded it! ### 2/5 — This app WILL ask for more $$$ *2015-02-09* This app costs a small amount up front but will continually remind you to give more money for the full version. There are also other apps they will attempt to sell you. If this were a free app it would be one thing but you wind up paying 1.99 for a barrage of ads....bad form. ### 5/5 — Great! *2015-01-15, version 3.2.0* I use this app a lot because it is such a good reference. ### 3/5 — Remove ads for me *2014-12-01, version 3.2.0* Why I still has ads in IPad while purchased in iPhone already? ### 5/5 — 30 year guitar player *2014-11-01* Great app! Ease of use is 5 star and I think the .99 metronome beat packs are great for playing along to. Play to the metronome and you will be a much more accomplished player. The optional beat packs also integrate with the metronome where they can be slowed down or sped up. Great functionality for a free app. Buy it! ### 3/5 — Touch control iffy *2014-10-01, version 3.2.0* Has soon good functionality but I find it very difficult to get most of the touch contra to work without poking the icon 3-5 times. Chord wheels work well but everything else is very balky. ### 2/5 — Doesn't show flat chords *2014-07-31, version 3.2.0* Meh, pretty cool but I was disappointed and ultimately decided to delete the app I. Favor of another because it doesn't show flat chords ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not for beginner *2019-05-11, version 4.3.3* Difficult to use. ### 1/5 — 👎 *2015-06-23, version 3.2.0* Have to buy add ons ### 1/5 — Can someone please tell me how to select lefty chords? *2014-09-26, version 3.2.0* Please ### 1/5 — Not the best game *2014-07-04, version 3.2.0* In my opinion this game is not one of my favourite games as it won't let me play anything or any songs and is annoying !!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Don't buy this *2014-01-23, version 3.2.0* The interface doesn't work ### 1/5 — Terrible *2013-12-15, version 3.2.0* This app is the worst app I've ever downloaded!! I thought it would be like a realistic ukulele but you can't do anything on it! Don't waste your time and don't download it! ### 1/5 — Don't buy the skins! *2013-06-25* I bought a colored skin for my son and thought it would be compatible across all companions, but it's not. If you buy the green skin for the Ukulele you'll have to buy the green skin for the guitar separately. What's even more disheartening is my son deleted the ukulele and though I just had to reinstall it, it didn't bring the green skin over and is asking for me to buy it again! ### 1/5 — awful *2012-11-14, version 3.1.2* I don't know what happened to this app, but it does not work properly on ios 6. Scales do not display properly. ### 1/5 — Bummer *2012-09-28, version 3.1.1* Every time I open the app, it goes to the "Tuning Up" screen and then crashes. Too bad, it looks like a fun app and I'm picking up uke for the very first time. ### 1/5 — It's Broken!? *2012-09-25, version 3.1* This used to be a nice little app, but now unfortunately locks up on the title screen. Frowning Face. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 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 !! ### 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! ### 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. ### 5/5 — Baritone Uke *2017-04-11* This app has everything I need. The tuning for the baritone uke was $0.99 which I did. Im a beginner and may upgrade later with a rhythm pack for only $0.99. Nice look and functionality. ### 5/5 — Good app *2016-01-26, version 3.2.0* Great app for chords and scales. ### 5/5 — Nice! *2015-10-03, version 3.2.0* You can see all of the chords in one place. Learn all the chords you that are hard to find online! Great job! ### 5/5 — This app is GREAT! *2015-05-17* I love this app to death!!! I am a beginner UKE player and this app comes in handy. It shows me the sounds of the chords and how to play them. This app is amazing and it makes everything easier ! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
