User Reviews

Users consistently praise Chord Tracker for chord recognition and tempo-based practice aids, plus an intuitive learning flow. However, the app suffers from repeat issues with music imports and library access, DRM constraints, and stability across devices, with several reports of black screens, timing drift, and Dropbox-related problems. These reliability and licensing limitations significantly affect its usefulness for broad music transcription and practice.
Pros
  • Accurate chord recognition across a wide range of chords, including tricky ones.
  • Tempo slowing without changing pitch helps practice and learning.
  • Chord display and fingering guidance aids learning and playing along.
  • Intuitive, straightforward way to learn songs.
Cons
  • Limited and inconvenient music import options: supports only iTunes/Music or Dropbox with inconsistent library loading.
  • Copyright/DRM restrictions limit usable tracks (no YouTube/streaming and DRM-protected songs).
  • Reliability and compatibility issues across devices (crashes, black screens, latency/timing drift).
  • Some users experience library/load problems (only a few songs appear, or Dropbox/library access fails).
  • Connectivity and transfer issues (Dropbox connection problems, unclear folders, and inability to access the phone library).
Recent reviews
The previous version of Yamaha Chord Tracker allowed a device’s microphone to listen to music in real-time and identified the notes/chords being heard, even allowing for capo adjustments to see how best to play a song. Their most recent update removed this feature, so now it is only useful to identify songs you own, loaded into the app in MP3/4 format, although some users are reporting they can’t even get this feature to work now. Super disappointing, Yamaha, please bring back the chord identifier/analysis functionality, if you are indeed truly interested in helping guitar players improve their playing skills! Right now, I’m considering deleting this app to make space for better and more useful ones.

I just downloaded this app with some hope to be able to hear the different instruments on selected songs. I understand copyright but the selection of songs that popped up was short of nothing. And those that did pop-up would not even play. Very disappointed in this app. Not even worth it being in the App Store.

I have several audio files on my iPad I wanted to transcribe, but there is no easy way to load them. This app only supports loading from DropBox or Music collection. Other apps support loading local files. In my opinion all Yamaha products have terrible user interface, either hardware or software.
