User Reviews
Pros
- Fast, intuitive one-page layout for quick chord finding
- Shows alternate fingerings and inversions on the side for multiple positions
- Broad chord library including extended chords (dim, aug, sus2/4, 6/9, etc.) across multiple instruments (ukulele, guitar, mandolin, etc.)
- Strongly favored for ukulele chords and broadly useful beyond uke
- Widely regarded by users as a top chord app when it runs smoothly
Cons
- Crashes when switching instruments or after iOS updates, making it unusable at times
- Intrusive ads/banner interruptions (iAd banner) detract from usability
- Some missing chord types/inversions (notably diminished triads) and requests for additional chords like / chord inversions (e.g., d/f#, g/d)
- Stability issues reported across updates, with UI/behavior changes causing user frustration

I have always used this for uke, but I recently have been learning to play guitar. Unfortunately, the app crashes when I try to switch instruments. I can still use it for uke, but it will not work for guitar or any of the other instruments. Tap to switch=instant crash. ☹️
