LOST ITS CHOPS

No shark
Update:After last IOS update to iPhone 6, microphone must be switched back on in for this app in Settings or tuner will not work. Go figure. Original Post:Flimsy version of Planet Waves Guitar Tools which I used for years. Things from PWGT that would make this a 5 star app:Give an option to or just make a dark background especially on the tuner. The strobe is much harder to see in current app. Wood style fretboard was also better for viewing. As other reviews note, chord finder shows "no chord" for many basic and complex grips, and any chord when you X out an open string. Once a fret marker is placed, that string can not be changed back to open. Hope some of function and style issues are soon resolved. PWGT was an awesome little app; this one, not so much yet.

Best free guitar utility app!

PROS: The chord diagrams are a beginner’s best friend! I often time find myself learning new 7, 9, etc chords. The chord finder is a must for experimenting with different triades and can help creativity and writing. Scales are a god send and decently accurate although I can’t find a 3 per string for the major scale that I use. The app is also FREE.Cons: The tuner could use a touch up. It isn’t the most accurate, mic sensitivity can me an issue in a loud room. The metronome shuts off if you close the app which is annoying but you can set it to prevent sleep which keeps the app open during play/performance. If these 2 things could get worked on… I’d be one happy camper.But hey, the app is free so you really can’t complain! I’d recommend Chordify for jamming along chords to songs, Ultimate guitar for tabs, and D’Tools for practice/checking your work.

This is app does a decent job in all its functions. But with the new update it’s requiring me to repurchase the upgrade that includes Buzz Feinten. And there is not “restore previous purchase” button.

Underrated all-in-one app

Was playing around the App Store to check if there’s a d’addario app or smtn then I found this app. Before this app I previously had 3 apps just for guitar tuning and chord finding. Design wise could use a little bit more but from a functionality stand point, it’s really good! I recommend it!
