### 5/5 — 🔥🔥🔥

*2022-02-08, version 1.0.7*

Спасибо!

### 5/5 — Big help

*2021-12-24, version 1.0.7*

My brain can not name some of the weird chords I create or hear in some covers we do. This tool is excellent for that or just keeping the basics in your head. I use it a lot.

### 5/5 — Simple yet handy

*2021-11-03, version 1.0.7*

Good app, does exactly what it says and looks pretty nice too

### 5/5 — Nice

### 5/5 — Пиу)

*2020-06-14, version 1.0.6*

Спасибо,очень полезная программа!

### 5/5 — Guitar Chords

*2019-08-14, version 1.0.6*

I love it.

### 5/5 — Very useful tool

*2019-07-14*

This is a great app for anyone looking to decipher chords and get the names and a better understanding of why they are named as such, and how they are made up. You know the situation where you may play a chord, and just slide your finger up a fret on one string, or take another finger off and think how nice the chord sounds and wonder what on earth the chord has now become? Well this app will tell you  exactly which chord you are playing, so it is a great learning tool.

I would have given 5 stars, but to me, when you open the app up, the fretboard seems to be upside down, which means I have to rotate my phone 180 degrees.

A great feature to add if the developers can manage it, would be to make it possible to hear the chords as you build them on the app.

Thoroughly recommend the app to all guitarists as a great little pocket reference tool.

**Developer response:** Thank you for you feedback. 
Please check new updated version 1.0.7 with possibility to lock orientation as you like.
Maybe now it deserves 5 stars?

### 5/5 — То что надо

*2019-05-13, version 1.0.6*

Именно то, что я и искал. Простое, понятное и точное. Прикольно, что даже переключатель названий нот B/H предусмотрен)) И радует, что разраб быстро отвечает если спросить прямо в приложении.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2019-05-12, version 1.0.6*

Awesome, perfect. Found all the chords I was looking for. Thanks :)

### 5/5 — Simple And Accurate

*2019-01-24, version 1.0.4*

Thanks for this simple, yet accurate and easy to use app!

### 5/5 — At last!

*2018-11-20, version 1.0.4*

I’ve been looking for an app like this for ages. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Great App!!!

*2018-07-24, version 1.0.4*

A lot of times I’m guessing what chord I am playing. I thought the other day of making an app called chord calculator and lo and behold here it is, done exactly as I imagined, thanks a lot to the creators, an invaluable tool. No excuse for not learning chords anymore. Simple and easy to find out whatever is you are playing.

### 5/5 — AWESOME

*2018-06-24, version 1.0.4*

I don’t know why this app isn’t popular it’s very helpful.

### 5/5 — Drop D

*2018-05-14, version 1.0.4*

Would easily rate this 5 stars if the drop D option was functional.

Edited to make 5 star because of the latest update!

### 2/5 — Need ukulele version

*2024-09-28, version 1.0.8*

This is great, but I have to translate from ukulele to guitar each time. I don’t want to look up a cord and it’s not easy.

### 2/5 — Chord Names are Wrong

*2018-10-25, version 1.0.4*

This can only name basic chords that anyone beyond a beginner would already know. Anything else it cannot name correctly. It can’t even name major and minor triads. I guess it’s fine for beginners, but for more complicated chords, like what you would actually need a chord naming tool for, it spits out some nonsense or nothing at all.

### 3/5 — App won’t close

*2026-02-13, version 1.0.8*

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

### 3/5 — Audio

*2022-01-05, version 1.0.7*

Not a terrible app but it doesn’t always ID the chord and there is no audio of the chord which would be helpful

### 4/5 — Promising App

*2018-05-17, version 1.0.4*

The inviting interface makes figuring out
what mystery chord my fingers happened to find a lot simpler.
It also invites some fun exploration with the opportunity to plot points along the fingerboard and see what pops up.  Recommend for anyone who finds themselves lucking into interesting chords or wants a fun way to explore the guitar.

### 4/5 — Есть замечания

*2018-04-29, version 1.0.3*

Программа хорошая, но есть замечания:
самый простой Am в первой позиции, обозначает основным как Esus4#5. И неплохо было бы добавить в кружочки названия нот.

### 5/5 — Awesome App!

*2026-07-13, version 1.0.8*

I love it and use it often. Many thanks to the dev for making such a helpful app. I’m 100% satisfied.

### 5/5 — God Send

*2025-11-13, version 1.0.8*

I am trying to get a grip on Music Theory for Guitar and How to Form Chords & Identify Them Correctly. What Chord? Is a God Send, Exactly What I Was Looking For, So I Give You A 5-Star Plus Rating 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟+ Thank You! 🔥 🎸🔥

### 5/5 — Me encanta

*2025-07-03, version 1.0.8*

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

### 5/5 — Wanted this my whole life

*2024-11-23, version 1.0.8*

I am awful at reading music and can’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.

### 5/5 — straight to the point

*2024-11-15, version 1.0.8*

Extremely useful If you're just looking to learn the chords across the fretboard In a sea of apps that are designed for cowboy chord aficionados

### 5/5 — I love this app

*2024-09-24, version 1.0.8*

I cannot tell you how helpful this app has been in my love. As a songwriter I’ve found that I often discover new chords for my music as I’m writing, but I don’t know exactly what the chord may be. Which causes issues for notation! With the help of this app I can perfectly notate every song I write!

### 5/5 — Брак

*2024-05-15, version 1.0.7*

Ре минор определяет как фа maj 13 , удалил. Автор исправьте. Извиняюсь писал не разобравшись. Открыл снова. Все окей. Автору спасибо

### 5/5 — So useful

*2022-12-10, version 1.0.7*

This is actually a GREAT app! I’m surprise I am just now finding it.

### 5/5 — Идеальное приложение

*2022-12-04, version 1.0.7*

Ничего лишнего, удобно пользоваться. Тыкаешь в ноты на грифе - показывается название аккорда
