Guitarist's Reference App Reviews

Wow!! Ive been playing guitar for a number of years and this app has taught me so much within the one week Ive had it about so many different chords I never would have gotten. To all those who want to buy the app, if youre a serious guitarist or guitar student, youd focus on the great help youre getting and not silly things like landscape view... This is, hands down THE best guitar learning app out there.

Okay as a visual reference, though I prefer Guitar Toolkit, which I find to be a much better reference app even though its not specifically designed for the iPad. But the fatal flaw for Guitarists Reference is the huge delay between touching a string and hearing the sound/note. Makes it unusable. Hope this is fixed in a future update or this was just money wasted.

Very useful but badly needs a landscape support

Good app, but inconvenient interface. I dont use portrait view at all. Your specs out to warn of that shortcoming.

I think this is the best chord / scale reference app out there. I also love the reverse chord finder and custom tuning.

Just fix the play back please, nothing happens when I click play

Ok so far, but have no sound dont really need it but some people might over all not to bad

No sound on the tune!!! Just 6 fret to place your fingers on the reverse chord... And you cannot move the fret to make a barre. At this time the free APP is much better !!!

The chord sounding doesnt !

Sounds work great on my new iphone 5 and ipad iOS6. This is the best app for guitarists. Completely brilliant. The must have app for any one playing a guitar. This app has it all and easy to use. I got the free All Guitar Chords and decide to get this. Well worth the money.

Fantastic app in what it offers but have noticed with the recent update touch sensitivity on this app only is hit or miss. I love using it as a study tool but the loss of touch control can be frustrating because I constantly must restart app. If werent for that I would give this app 5 stars.

Apple should implement new developer policy rules that states all developer must provide timely updates for their apps for a period of 5 years as a condition to receiving approval from apple for their app submittal to the app store. App extremely crash prone on ipad 3 with IOS 6.

..but how can you possibly have an app that touts itself as a complete guitar reference and NOT cover the blues scale is beyond comprehension. The free app covers it so I have to jump in and put of the paid app whenever I want to hit the blues side. You really should fix this oversight. Would have been a 4/5 but for this major miss.

I dont know why there are bad reviews. Ive tried other guitar apps and this app is my go to app for investigating chords. One person says they use Guitar Toolkit and I find Guitarists Reference a better choice. I have several guitar apps and I use this and a few other apps all the time.

The app displays scales in whatever tuning you choose but not chords in the alternate tunings? Please add this!

I have used this on my iPhone 4 for several years and it is great. Recently bought an iPad with retinal display and put the app on it. Can not believe the difference. It still works perfectly on my iPhone. On the iPad, most features work except the reverse chord look up is so slow that it seems the iPad is locked up. I give it 5 stars for the iPhone and 0 stars for the iPad. Hope they fix it soon.

Despite the reviews warnings about no sound on iPads I downloaded the app. I thought, mistakenly, that the issue would have been corrected by now. I was wrong. No sound. Everything else seems to work, so 3 stars for the layout.

App hasnt been updated in quite sometime. No landscape mode, very ssssllllllloooooooowwwwwwwwwww(iPhone5), scales and arpeggios only play 3 notes, alternate tunings lack baritone and chords show in standard tuning only. Waste of good money and my time.

Been using this app for years. It was one of the first of its kind and it shows. The latest version update was in 2011 and its such a shame for such a useful app. The icon is pixely, and so is the app itself. The sounds are very tinny and it lacks the ability to tune (a must for this kind of app).

Please fix the sound feature... It is not working..
