Guitarist's Reference App Reviews

Dont be fooled by the questionable design,-) This is a great little app for the serious guitar Player. Freshen up and extend your practical and theoretical knowledge of chords, scales, arpeggios, keys and harmony in general. Well worth more than 99 cent.

I have purchased the application mainly because the publisher advertises a feature that I wanted to make use of: alternate tuning. However, I was very disappointed to find out that there are no chords available when using an alternate (e.g. open) tuning! On the web site they do not mention this important information. If there was a way to return the app and get my money back I would do so.

I own this app since it appeared on the scene and it got better all the time! Now it provides nearly everything I expect from this kind of tool. Definitey worth the money!

Please add circle theory :-) Program is really fine and getting better with each update.

Super app. I have a few suggestions. It would be very nice if the pictured scales could be exported as a picture or an PDF-file and if the option: set position, includes the possibility to set 1, 2, or more positions and could be export as well. Thanks Butch

A great source of information. Very useful if you are in any way serious about learning your fretboard and music theory. But it is way too slow. Id ease up on the graphics to make it faster. Also, the buttons are too small to use in any quick way. A great start, though.

Much better with this latest update and one of the best guitar reference apps there is. Much of the problem with being slow has been addressed. Highly recommended.

I Love it! Absolutely fantastic! So many new updates! It gets better and better! Good job guys!

Looks a little cheesy, but LOADED with info. Ive downloaded many chord/scale apps but this one is much more complete. Definantly my favorite.

It dosent even work! You could get better sound from an elastic band!

There is a great deal of info here for the serious player and it IS very handy. Problem is the interface and the sounds. There are no scrolling by thumb lists. You have to press arrow keys one "page" at a time. You should be able to "slide" the page to the next function. Instead you close one page to open another. Worst part us that to hear a chord it opens quick time and plays a (wav?) file. Very slow and cheesy. Just play a midi file! Does it give you info that no other iPhone app does? Yes. Is it Iphone user friendly? No. Not by a long shot.

This is a great app. It has pretty much has all of references a guitarist needs (minus a tuner, which would be quite helpful). Besides that, this app is well worth the money!

this is my most used app when it comes to guitar. its great for understanding chords better, and just learning no voicings.

Everything about it is perfect except for when I try to play individual notes it is very slow. Sometimes it doesnt even work. Otherwise very good and has everything I would need.

I like this app but I would like to hear the sound of the strings open when I choose an alternate tuning. It would be helpful to hear chords set in that tuning as well. You only hear the chords in standard tuning, it would be very cool to be able to change this feature. Not having this option forces me to rate this app at 4 stars. If Im doing something wrong however please post and let me know how to do this !

This used to be a nice app - not perfect but cool. But the new interface is ugly and counter-intuitive, the screen is cluttered and if you are colorblind you can forget this app... This one is leaving my iPhone now.

Its now works great in iOS4 but the "play" feature still doesnt work.. As in playing individual chords..etc. Please fix soon.

Thank you for fixing! Love this app!

Like ap, dont like hidden ads. I pushed the star on the main page wondering what it did and it opened to a link to an adult ap complete with full size pics. Not impressed.

Dont bother with the free app. Doesnt do anything. This app is perfect. Even works for LEFTYS!
