Review summary

Users widely praise the app for its simple interface and usefulness in identifying chords and notating music, with value for players using multiple tunings. However, reviews note reliability gaps for complex chords and occasional misidentifications; some wish for audio playback and deeper chord coverage beyond beginner levels. Overall, What Chord? is a helpful, beginner-friendly tool that could improve with broader chord support and greater robustness.

Pros

Easy, inviting interface.
Very helpful for identifying chords and notating songs.
Works across tunings (guitar/ukulele) and helps reference the correct chord.
Encourages exploration with fingerboard plotting and chord-finding features.

Cons

Limited to basic chords; not reliable for more complex chords.
Not always IDs chords correctly; accuracy can vary.

2024-11-23	An*****	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.

2024-09-28	He*****	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.

2024-09-24	us*****	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!

2021-12-24	Gr*****	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.
