Tap any chord on piano or guitar and instantly get its name, notation and dozens of voicings - plus a fast, mobile-first chord chart editor. No ads.
Chord Analyzer is an interactive reverse chord finder.
Whether you can't identify a chord on a score, are looking for the best notation for a composition, or want to find a new voicing for a chord on the guitar (or any other stringed instrument), Chord Analyzer is the tool for you.
Chord Analyzer bridges the gap between stringed instruments (guitar, banjo, mandolin, ukulele, etc.), the piano, and standard chord notation.
Press the keys on the piano or the frets on the guitar, and the app will instantly identify the chord and suggest its most appropriate notation. You can also browse the built-in chord dictionary to explore every playable position on guitar or banjo.
Powered by a smart algorithm, the app goes far beyond fixed chord shapes - offering many more voicing suggestions than traditional chord dictionaries. Listen to them, play them, tweak them directly in the app, and pick the best fit for your compositions or performances!
The full version extends this intelligent, interactive chord dictionary to less common instruments (7-string guitar, ukulele, mandolin, banjo, violin, and more). It also lets you bookmark your favorite chords to revisit later, and - most importantly - supports open tunings! Retune your instrument freely, knowing you'll always be able to find the right chord shapes.
Also included: a piano-guitar interface designed to make it easy for guitarists and pianists to communicate about complex or original chords.
New: a powerful chord chart editor, with gestures fully designed for mobile. Jot down chord progressions in seconds to capture musical ideas the moment they come to you, or share them with fellow musicians.
Features:
- Intuitive, easy-to-use interface
- Over 3,500 chords recognized, from the simplest to the most complex

Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned musician, Chord Analyzer will help you deepen your understanding of chord notation, expand your playing vocabulary, and compose with confidence.
I have found it very usable in creating cords, I would like to suggest the ability to move the current cord up and down the neck more like a Guitarist would do. Also if the cord type icon could be reduced in size, you would not have to scroll as much to find the type of chord needed.
Easily the best chord app for the iPad

This app is such an immense help in so many ways. If you are looking for a quick way to identify, locate, or hear any chord on your instrument I can’t recommend this enough. Even the free version is way better than the alternatives (paid ones included) but I can sincerely say that the full version of this is the best $1.99 I have ever spent - it is worth 10x that. Both writing and learning is so much easier with this app. The developer was also very kind and responsive when I ran into a minor problem. 5 stars all around.
Great app for musicians of every skill level.

I got this app to use as a reference for learning advanced chords. I haven't seen any other apps, even paid versions, that have anything near the chord dictionary that this one does (in the free version, too!). This app seems to have any viable chord one can think of on stringed instruments and keyboard. It is great for the advanced player looking to expand their chord vocabulary with extended chords and alterations, and it's good for a beginner too! 5/5, would recommend.
Update Needed

Please Update this app, for the upgrade made on the app, there are some features that do not work, such as the chord library dictionary for the piano where it has 1-7 sounds, also for each of the library dictionaries, there is no play or sound button. This app would be a million times better with those fixes.Thanks
Get your purchase back in one tap.
The "Restore Purchase" button did nothing in some cases: new phone or reinstall. That's fixed - and the app now finds your purchase on its own at startup.
Thanks to everyone who reported it!
