5/5This app is perfect for songwriters
As a guitar player this is a useful tool for learning. As a songwriter transcribing and trying to do so accurately this is a must have ! I find a lot of chord voicings that fit but I don’t always know the correct name. Having an app that I can put in my fingering and it gives me the chord name and potential other names based on what key you are playing has really helped me when writing the chord charts for new songs out!

5/5Greatest Delight!
I’ve loved this app now for almost 5 years and it never ceases to amaze me, how much it produces for $4.99, or whatever I paid for it. It gives me great joy whenever I may have forgotten that it’s installed on my phone, and what a delight becomes of it after I fire it up and get to work with its range of content. Such an informative and equally inspiring app that I would and will highly recommend to players of all ages and levels!

5/5Tried them all, this is the best
I’m probably what you’d call an intermediate player, not a flashy soloist or anything. Most guitar apps seem to be for beginners or people who want to be shredders. For everyone who needs a great reference tool, this is the one. This has been everything that I need. Switching from playing e standard to c standard made things challenging to me, but this app has helped more than every single other one I’ve tried.

4/5Very good but don’t get rid of your other chord books
This is a very good application but it does have some shortcomings. Here is one I found. A 7♭5 chord is very common in the Latin stuff I play but don’t try to find it in his application because it’s not there. He calls it a 7#11. Take the key of G as an example. When you go into the chord finder and look for a G7♭5 you will find nothing and when you click in the notes in the chord analyzer that chord name does not come up on the list. It should since this is a common chord name. But my trusty Mel Bay chord book has it. Fix this problem. Players will relate to a flatted 5th way more than a sharped 11th

5/5The most important tool for a guitarist possible
This is the smartest tool I’ve ever seen not just in apps, but all across the internet, books, everything. The chord analyzer and chord finder sections compliment and work together fluidly and perfectly. The fact that you can click on strings and build chords that you may have played on the guitar and don’t know what they may be, or why they sound good to you, is a feature that even allows you to understand your own playing, and no tool or website can rival that. In addition, when looking up any chord in the list of chords, you can see it intelligently in every inversion, and you can also turn on arpeggio, and it’ll show the arpeggios relative to the chords your playing, and they are displayed slightly less prominently to the chord. That’s brilliant. It has saved me hundreds of hours of web searching and googling to answer simple questions. The visual design of this app is so simple, streamlined and genius, I don’t think anything rivals it. There’s also a button to sound any chord you create by selecting notes on the fretboard, and this app has even become something I can use to study music when I don’t have a guitar, like on an airplane. This app is so perfect, I honestly hope it never changes and is available for all foreseeable future. I’m blown away. I personally would count it as the best guitar app created to date, and possibly one of the greatest apps created of all time next to Shazam and Juxtaposer. It’s completely in a class of its own, there’s nothing to compare it to. If I had to, I would buy it 100x over. If you’re a guitarist you should have this immediately and it should be where mine is, on my first page of apps on my phone. To the designers and developers, a standing ovation. When I have new students, the first thing I do is make them buy this app, sometimes even before buying a guitar. This little app was birthed from pure brilliance.

Versions

App Store

1.0.2
1.1.0
This version adds the Oolimo guitar chord quizzes to the well-established chord finder and chord analyzer. The Quizzes are a genius way to improve and strengthen your guitar chord knowledge. If you don't feel comfortable to practice guitar in the subway or at work, just do a quiz ;-)
1.1.2
The Oolimo guitar chord quizzes have recently been added to the well-established chord finder and chord analyzer. This Version fixes a possible misbehavior that may have occurred after starting several quizzes and a missing answer in the quiz on slash-chords.
1.1.3
This Version fixes a problem in the menu of the guitar chord quizzes that have recently been added to the well-established chord finder and chord analyzer.
1.1.40
- Modified audio processing. Several methods to choose from (help > problems with audio...) may help in case of problems with audio playback. - Last chord and settings (chord name options, notes/intervals,...) are kept stored now. - Selected key button or chord shape thumbnail are scrolling automatically to center position (as far as scrolling is possible). - Question 2 in quiz "V7, m7 and maj7 chords": right answer was rated as incorrect and a wrong solution was shown. Fixed. - Diminished chord (dim7/dim) in the chord analyzer: now correct indication of the diminished 7th as dim7 instead of 6 on fretboard. Correct/enharmonic notename with "super correct button" (allows bb,##,Cb,Fb,B#,E#). - In the chord finder (on the fretboard) the diminished 7th is consequently and unmistakably indicated as dim7 instead of b7 (that may cause confusion with a minor 7th). - and as always other small fixes, modifications and improvements that can't be mentioned in detail.
1.1.41
Completes the new audio options in version 1.1.40 with wav audio files (now default audio format). In case of problems with audio playback you can change the audio format and method of audio processing (start screen > help > problems with audio playback?).

The chord matrix is a truly innovative tool to find chord progressions and visualizes the main chord types you can use for every possible root (scale degrees and notes in-between) in every single key. Optimized navigation in the help section. The last reading position will be stored now. Mute button on the start screen. Many small fixes and improvements, edits and additions to the content

In the Chord Finder you'll find a description of the chord type as before under the chord summary, while in Chord Analyzer remarks and warnings will help to find the best interpretation / chord name. Improved chord naming algorithm.
1.1.91
