i got the app recently, and it’s very well organised and polished, and has many great tools that will definitely come in handy while playing guitar. a properly really good tuner, which i’ve struggled to find in other apps that gives me an exact perfect tune, a metronome that helps to keep you in time, tuning presets, a fun song maker, and a huge chord library. no searching through books to find chords again. the deeper you get into it the more u find and you notice little things that makes the tools even better. i noticed it was missing a particular tuning preset, so i emailed the developer, and they got back super quickly and added it the following day. great app and great customer service, well deserved 5 stars

Charlie, “pocket guitar buddy” is such a perfect way to describe what I hoped Guitar Wiz would feel like.I still remember that tuning preset request. Adding it quickly was one of those small updates that felt immediately worth doing, because it made the app better for a real guitarist with a real need.Thank you for noticing the little details, and for taking the time to write such a generous review. This one means a lot.
GrrWiz App is a little surprise packet.

This is a very useful app but even better is the rate at which it is improving. Good to see a decent guitarist app with ongoing development. Really enjoy the jamming functions.
Developer Response
Apologies for the confusion! 🙏You’re right - in earlier versions, the feature was called “Tracks” in the app and “Song Maker” elsewhere. In the latest version, I’ve updated it so it’s consistently called “Song Maker” everywhere. Thanks for pointing it out! -BT

I love the filtering of chord grids as you enter notes on a fretboard. As an experienced guitarist, I feel this app nails what I want without any fluff. Great job!
Developer Response
Thank you so much for this thoughtful review. It means a lot coming from an experienced guitarist. I’m really glad you liked the reverse chord finder interface that it feels useful without getting in the way. Thanks again for taking the time to share this.
This update expands the Guitar Wiz chord library with new chords, giving you more voicings to explore, learn, and practice.
Guitar Wiz now makes it easier to find chord links and Guitar Wiz content shared with you in Messages, so you can quickly come back to useful chords and practice ideas later.
I’ve also included improvements to the user interface, stability, performance, and minor fixes across the app for a smoother daily practice experience.
