Chordology is the cleanest, most colourful way to explore chords and scales across all your favourite instruments. Whether you're a beginner learning your first shapes or a seasoned player digging into theory, Chordology turns abstract music concepts into something you can see, hear, and feel. EVERY INSTRUMENT, ONE APP Browse chords and scales for: - Piano - Guitar - Bass Guitar - Banjo - Ukulele BUILT FOR THE WAY YOU ACTUALLY PLAY - Custom tunings: set up any tuning on your stringed instruments and see every shape update instantly. - Capo support: dial in your capo position and view chords exactly as they'll sound. - Multiple finger positions: for guitar, bass, ukulele, and banjo, swipe through every voicing up and down the neck to find the one that fits. - Hear it instantly: tap play to hear any chord or scale rendered authentically on your chosen instrument. GO DEEPER THAN SHAPES Every chord comes with rich musical insight. Explore qualities like brightness, darkness, and consonance to understand not just how a chord is played, but why it sounds the way it does, and how to use it in your own music. AN INTERFACE AS BEAUTIFUL AS IT IS USEFUL Chordology's signature colour system gives every note its own identity, so patterns leap off the fretboard and keyboard. The clean, bright design keeps the music front and centre: no clutter, no noise, just clarity. Pick an instrument. Choose a chord or scale. Press play. Start exploring. Download Chordology and see your music in a whole new light.

Transitioning from piano to guitar requires a different mindet, and to speed things along I chose this app to help with chord shapes etc. It works pretty well, easy to use but a few annoyances with the interface that could be fixed easily. 1] When selecting a chord, you have to scroll through to the fingering you require, it plays each selection once and when you stop there is no way (or not blindingly obvious) how to repeat the hearing of the chord. Some way of playing and repeating the chord would be appreciated.2] When you scroll to a chord shape you require, then say select a min or dominant flavour, when you return back to the chord you had previous, it takes you back to chord number 1. Madly annoying if your chord is say 9 of 16. It beaks concentration having to constantly navigate back to your preferred chord position. Could you not make it so the numbered chord is remembered when you leave and return to it's group?3] The ability to store a series of chords would be a great addition. I'm working through the ii-V-i major 7s right now so having them lined up and being able to quickly select them would be mind blowing. Right now i have to dial them in, hear the chord once, badly play it on my guitar, then have to navigate to the next note, dial in the next chord, hop to the desired position, hear it once,, play it badly, rinse repeat. I think you get the idea. Could be slicker.I think with these and a few more features this would be an app I would pay for. I'd even be happy to make a paypal donation as I appreciate the hard work that goes into making an app. This is a good app, clean interface, no nonsense, no adverts, but the effort to take it from good to excellent is a small step and hope it's something the developer will consider.

Love the design!

Been using this for a while as it has way more variants than most websites and is much faster. Some of them are quite hard to play so it’s maybe not the best for beginners, but they’re all there!My only criticism is that it doesn’t let you change the tuning besides the preset ones (and being able to add a capo position as well would be really useful).

Thanks for the review! I’m planning on adding some more tunings and instruments, email me if there’s any you’d like in particular.

Just what I needed, better interface than the other ones and doesn't crash every 2 seconds like the other one I bought.

Learning banjo so this is pretty useful, like the interface, pretty simple. Could maybe have more tunings though?
