1. ★★★★★too many ads

   Ad Frequency. Hate it, adds take up whole screen every time I open the app. Takes too long to look up chords clearing them away

2. ★★★★★too many ads

   Way too many ads. I have to click through at least 2 ads any time I switch back to this app. Makes it impossible to use with a separate browser or tab app.

3. ★★★★★too many ads

   Doesn’t work after upgrading. I just upgraded to the latest version which promised fewer adds. Now when I launch this app I am greeted with an alert headed with “Help us keep this app free.” The “Continue” button is not responsive to anything. The app is stuck at this point. So now this app is essentially useless.

4. ★★★★★too many ads

   complete unusable garbage. mystified by the high rating of this app. advertisements every five seconds, literally almost every time you click on something. no indication visible that you can pay to remove them - not that i would for such a simple app. don’t download

5. ★★★★★too many ads

   Would be a 5 star but….. So many adds that it is almost unusable.

6. ★★★★★comprehensive free chord library

   misleading on being comprehensive and free. doesn’t have add9s, does have ads

7. ★★★★★too many ads

   Forced access to advertising companies. I had this installed and was okay with it until I opened it up recently and it would not allow me to open the app unless I agreed to consent to the numerous advertising organisations, of which their are many, to have access to my details which you cannot opt out of. Not happening, so uninstalled.

8. ★★★★★too many ads

   Ad dumpster fire. Too many ads at screaming volume with hard to find close mechanics. Ridiculous

9. ★★★★★too many ads

   good library but..... library is handy for looking hearing melody chords but every time you leave you get an ad.

10. ★★★★★unplayable computer-generated chord shapes

    Know your chords!. Way too many missed chords and many errors with actual placements. Looks like a poor attempt to use something other than music knowledge to document chords.

11. ★★★★★unplayable computer-generated chord shapes

    Computer generated chords. Looks like a computer generated these chords. Most of them would be best played by a computer, not necessarily a real person.

12. ★★★★★unplayable computer-generated chord shapes

    Useful app.. This is a good app as it plays the sounds of the chords. Only thing I don’t like is the chords are six note voicing or open chords. I find four note jazz style chords sound so much better even for buskers.

13. ★★★★★too many ads

    Okayest…mostly. The library is packed! Except for slash chords. I can Google those. The functional issue is that the app only sometimes plays the chord when selected.

14. ★★★★★too many ads

    Ads. Miserable amount of ads. Every time you switch out to a different app, and then return, you have to sit through ads.

15. ★★★★★too many ads

    Ads with sprinkling of chords. You will spend more time looking at ads than looking at chords. It's terrible.

16. ★★★★★comprehensive free chord library

    Nice. Good

17. ★★★★★feature requests and minor gaps

    No bar chords. This app is very good at giving lots of different variations of the same chord but there were no bar chords available on the app making some chords way more difficult than they need to be. It also often showed variations of a chord that are impossible to play. It’s a good idea for beginners but it’s not very practical in reality.

18. ★★★★★feature requests and minor gaps

    Has the basics but... Most of the harder chord shapes the app suggests like C9, D9 etc are not really playable. It feels like this was all generated by a computer instead of a guitar player who gives chord shapes that are actually possible to play.

19. ★★★★★other

    Gartthecan. How do I get the app

20. ★★★★★feature requests and minor gaps

    Good app, missing a few. Good app love the format but its missing a few common voicings, such as d9 as an example, which doesnt have the common voicing with the root on the A string, however it has many other ways to voice the chord, but would have thought the most common one would be in there

21. ★★★★★simple and easy to navigate

    Guitar tabs for Maggie. This is a great guide that will show you the basic shapes and progressions.

22. ★★★★★too many ads

    Ads. I get an ad every time I open the app and search up a new chord, and none of the other reviews for this app I’ve seen have said anything about them. 😭😭😭💔💔💔

23. ★★★★★simple and easy to navigate

    Easy & helpful. Simple and easy to understand

24. ★★★★★unplayable computer-generated chord shapes

    Awesome app.. The only thing i don’t like is that once you get i to CM9 or DM9/A you get chord shapes that are impossible to play. Maybe less open chord variations for 5th fret and above.

25. ★★★★★comprehensive free chord library

    Favorite Chord App. Great app! I just got it, and it’s really easy to use and all the chords I’m looking for are there. I looked through the App Store for a very long time and downloaded several chord apps, but none of them worked out for me. This is by far the best one. This app really deserves much more attention. I have a quick suggestion though, and that is why I only gave 4 stars: You should definitely be able to save certain chords. I like how simple the app is, but it’s one quick adjustment. This is because it come in handy if you have only a few specific chords your practicing and you want to get to them quickly. Thank you! I hope you take this review into consideration. It would be much appreciated!

26. ★★★★★simple and easy to navigate

    Almost Perfect (for me). Only thing I would like to see is an option to view the notes and/or scale degrees of chords so as to better understand chord construction. Otherwise, great app.

27. ★★★★★simple and easy to navigate

    Great chord library. Easy to read and navigate. So many chords and common chord and chord progression collections make it easier to learn about guitar chords

28. ★★★★★simple and easy to navigate

    Chords learning and playing a big help. I like this app because I get to play chords different ways and make it sound varied and interesting

29. ★★★★★comprehensive free chord library

    Great app. Every chord you could think of in a simple to use and accessible format

30. ★★★★★comprehensive free chord library

    A very comprehensive range of guitar chords. This app has a very wide and comprehensive range of guitar chords that can be easily viewed and heard. What I was hoping to get from this app was chord recognition quizzes (where you’re shown a picture of a chord and you’ve to press the correct letter to accurately name the chord shown in the picture, and variations where you hear the chord and have to select the correct chord name and / or picture based on the chord you heard being played), as I find that quizzes where you’ve to think of the answer help you to learn each note and chord quicker than if you’re just shown the full details of the chord. So if quizzes like this could be added to either this app or your music tutor app, it’d be 5 stars from me!
