App wonโ€™t close

Works pretty well to identify chords but gets stuck open. I have to completely shut down my phone to get it to close. Itโ€™s happened on multiple occasions l.

Me encanta

Sencilla, fรกcil de usar y muy util para principiantes como yo que a veces no identificamos bien los acordes

Love this app!!!!

Great app been looking for something like this for a while. The interface is easy and very simple.

Wanted this my whole life

I am awful at reading music and canโ€™t transpose to save my life, but I love to play and have been for 20 yrs now. I play in many different tunings, so it was impossible for me to say what chord I was actually playing, and I would just reference the chord shape to remember. But now I can actually refer to the correct chord, which will make playing with others much easier. Thank you so much for making such a useful app! I love it.
