Review summary

Users praise Oolimo for teaching chords and theory, its intuitive UI, accurate/playable chord shapes, and good value/offline use. Repeated complaints ask for alternate-tuning chord diagrams, the ability to save favorites/progressions, device-tied purchases, and better support for high frets and extra-string instruments.

Pros

Excellent for learning chords, guitar theory and songwriting (useful chord analyzer).
Intuitive, visually pleasing and easy-to-use interface; faithful to the web version.
Provides accurate, playable chord shapes and multiple positions (better than many competitors).
Good value: reliable, lightweight, offline, ad-free app with responsive developer support.

Cons

Doesn't show chord diagrams in alternate tunings from the chord finder (Drop D, DADGAD, etc.).
No easy way to save favorite chords or entire chord progressions within the app.
Purchases appear tied to each device—users report needing to repurchase on new phones/tablets.
Limited support for extended setups: configuring chords above the 15th fret and for 7+ string guitars is restricted.

2025-01-02	Jo*****	Great app, I used to use the web version, but as soon as I found out about the mobile version, I bought it. I just found that would be nice to have an option to save the favorite chords.

2024-12-27	JA*****	I absolutely love this! But why can't I configure a chord above the 15th fret?🤔

2024-12-07	An*****	Multiple Purchases required. Beware you pay for the app per device. Not mentioned anywhere. At least when I bought it. I guess if you purchase a new phone or tablet they'll require you to purchase it again. Good app but that would have stopped me from purchasing it.

2024-11-22	Ma*****	Amazing app, has really helped me learn chords and different ways to play them. I just wish there was the option for 7 strings and higher.

2024-11-20	Ch*****	love the app but as others have said it would be perfect if you could change the tuning from a standard EADGBE too something like DADGAD or DADGBE

2024-09-09	Be*****	An indespensible tool for songwriters who aren't theory experts. I've been using Oolimo for nearly a decade and I can't believe I didn't have to pay for it. Download this app.

2024-08-15	Re*****	Best Self Guided Guitar Theory, Ever! How fun to play around on the fretboard experimenting making up chords then having the ability to map it out to find what you created or, how to play a chord in 5 positions on the fly. I leave this tab open all the time on my desktop.

2024-01-25	Ch*****	Incredible app. Superior to anything else out there. One suggestion i would like to make: it would be nice to key in a chord, and then see other shapes of that same chord. Em9/D, or D(add9,add11), for examples.
