About Chord! (Guitar Chord Finder)
Chord! is your next chords and scales app for guitar or any fretted instrument like bass, ukulele, banjo, etc.
Unlike other chord charts app, the app doesn't rely on a database of charts. Instead, it computes and analyses all the possible fingerings.
You don't even have to know music theory to use it: behind its brute force, the app knows how to handle by itself some subtleties of music in order to give meaningful results.
If you don't have to be an advanced player to use the app, you can however take a look under the hood and tweak the parameters if you like! Whatever is your level or your instrument, Chord! will adapt and give you the most precise answer.
You can search for any chord, split (like D/F#) or not. If you're a beginner, you can choose the chord from a list, but you can also use the intelligent keyboard to enter the chord as it is written. If this keyboard is a great way to enter chords, it is also very useful to discover and understand how the chords are formed. You can also enter some notes on a neck to find which chords it can be. You can hear how each fingering sounds. Chord arpeggios are also supported, as well as drop voicings (drop 2, drop3, etc.).
Chords are not all and the app is also shipped with the biggest list of named scales (and you can create your own scales). It analyses and presents them with nice interactive views (scale, score and keyboard). Of course it can also lay down these scales on a neck (with sound) and compute their fingerings. Like for chords, you can even search for a scale from its fingering!
Each scale can be harmonized (decomposed into chords). You can also enter a sequence of chords to find which scale you can use to improvise onto.
You can use one of the hundred tunings shipped with the app, or you can add you own ones, for any instrument, with or without a capo, even with broken strings if you want!
The app uses custom and unique algorithms to generate charts, easily input complex harmonic structures, extract chords from fingerings, determine fingers positions, compute keys of scales, generate chords from scales and find scales that go well with some chords.
For example, Chord! is the right tool in these situations:
• You're a beginner and you want to know how to play easily a D/F# chord;
• One gave you an ukulele and you want to know how to tune it and how to play the G Hawaiian scale;
• You want to know on what scale you can improvise for some chord sequence (and the answer can be different than the Pentatonic minor!);
• You want to experiment this nice open tuning, moreover with a bottleneck;
• Your little sister can't make bar chords and you want to show her how she can do without bars, with three (little) fingers only;
• You want to impress your little sister by showing her how you can play the same chords with two bars!
• You want to understand how this fingering for C13 is actually a fingering for C13;
• You broke a string and want to know how to play some chords without;
• You want to know how Django managed to play with two and a half fingers.
The app fully support left-handed instruments.

Awesome app! The UI changed a lot since I began using it, and some of the tablet display mode seems missing on mobile, but it works the same. My only concern is that your favorites/preferences etc are saved locally and so, if you don't have any mean to backup app data you will have to restart everything again (happended to me twice).

This is probably one of the greatest guitar apps out there hands down. It has every chord and scale you could ever need, I use it daily to learn more guitar scales. The developers respond the same day if you have issues. It was definitely worth the price!

I loved the previous version, it was easy to use and fit my phone screen nicely. This new version is clunky and hard to navigate. When I want to switch keys it takes too many clicks. The view didn't fit my phone screen. I used to use this app all the time but since the interface update I never use it. Too bad.

I am writing a new review for this. I searched for another guitar app, have smart chord too, that one is not as good even with extra content. This one is easily the best guitar app. An amazing tool for android users, and worth it for Mac as well. The amount of scales alone is great. I like to put some reverb on, a little overdrive and play some exotic scales. Very sexy. I hope people find this one and GET RID OF any other music apps, guitar ones at least. The different ways it shows you, and sounds out the scales and notes so you know if you are playing it right, are what sets this one at the top of a long list of guitar apps. Plus it shows notes on piano, making it awesome for keyboard or piano work. Flawless victory

So counter intuitive, so many weird choices. Why does a GUITAR app show you piano keys by default (unchangeable?) when looking at scales and require extra clicks to get to the GUITAR part. Add the piano, fine, but not as the FIRST thing it shows. Dumb...

Love this App, I've played guitar for over 20years and I'm amazed at how much work was put into this App. Broken down into chords scales etc. Easy to use and i simply can't say enough good things about this App. Great job guys, giving you 5 stars only because I can't give you 10 stars!

New interface is still a little off for me, would be nice to have the option of hearing the chords when you select them in simple or normal mode harmonizer for song building.

Great app! I've used four or five chord finding apps, and three reverse chord functionality. This one is the best by far. This could be more accurately called a voicing and harmonization app, with various methods of chord entry. Either the standard chord builder or the reverse chord finder can be used as an entry into the "fingerings" or "harmonization" section. Fingerings allows you to browse the various voicings Chord! generates. "Harmonization" suggests scales that work over the chords you've entered. Great app!

Great app, using it to supplement my mandolin studies. Incredibly well designed and highly useful. The only problem I've found is that the mandolin standard tuning is an octave lower than the instrument, which was easily fixed in the app - I had forgotten until I installed the app on a second device.

This used to be my ALL-TIME favorite app. It was a privilege to help Tom with music theory regarding enharmonic equivalents for a previous CHORD! update. I started playing guitar in 1977. Now disabled, I use the CHORD! app virtually every day for choosing inversions while writing compositions. The beauty of CHORD! was its simplicity. The new UI is counterintuitive. Must be confusing for those who don't know theory. Less is more. PLEASE go back to previous interface. I need this app! DONNA "BHAKTI" BROPHY

My apologies to the developer for leaving a comment in regards to ads. BTW Google description does says this app contains ads! My comment was meant for a different app. Error on my part! The app developer should however listen to all the paying customers begging to return to the older UI

Loved the old interface and functions and now it seems the annoyingly irreversible update looks more basic as with some its features. These also seem limited as if my previously paid-for version is now a tacky demo. Shame guys, id advise checking out one of the many alternatives.

I'm not fond of the new interface, but the biggest problem is that this ap is a battery killer. It keeps the CPU awake even when you think it's just there doing nothing in the background, and quickly runs down the battery to nothing. Using it on a Nexus 5x.
