About Chord! (Guitar Chord Finder) APK
Table Of Contents
Description
Chord! is your next chords and scales app for guitar or any fretted instrument like bass, ukulele, banjo, etc.Unlike other chord charts app, the app doesn't rely on a database of charts. Instead, it computes and analyses all the possible fingerings.
You don't even have to know music theory to use it: behind its brute force, the app knows how to handle by itself some subtleties of music in order to give meaningful results.
If you don't have to be an advanced player to use the app, you can however take a look under the hood and tweak the parameters if you like! Whatever is your level or your instrument, Chord! will adapt and give you the most precise answer.
You can search for any chord, split (like D/F#) or not. If you're a beginner, you can choose the chord from a list, but you can also use the intelligent keyboard to enter the chord as it is written. If this keyboard is a great way to enter chords, it is also very useful to discover and understand how the chords are formed. You can also enter some notes on a neck to find which chords it can be. You can hear how each fingering sounds. Chord arpeggios are also supported, as well as drop voicings (drop 2, drop3, etc.).
Chords are not all and the app is also shipped with the biggest list of named scales (and you can create your own scales). It analyses and presents them with nice interactive views (scale, score and keyboard). Of course it can also lay down these scales on a neck (with sound) and compute their fingerings. Like for chords, you can even search for a scale from its fingering!
Each scale can be harmonized (decomposed into chords). You can also enter a sequence of chords to find which scale you can use to improvise onto.
You can use one of the hundred tunings shipped with the app, or you can add you own ones, for any instrument, with or without a capo, even with broken strings if you want!
The app uses custom and unique algorithms to generate charts, easily input complex harmonic structures, extract chords from fingerings, determine fingers positions, compute keys of scales, generate chords from scales and find scales that go well with some chords.
For example, Chord! is the right tool in these situations:
• You're a beginner and you want to know how to play easily a D/F# chord;
• One gave you an ukulele and you want to know how to tune it and how to play the G Hawaiian scale;
• You want to know on what scale you can improvise for some chord sequence (and the answer can be different than the Pentatonic minor!);
• You want to experiment this nice open tuning, moreover with a bottleneck;
• Your little sister can't make bar chords and you want to show her how she can do without bars, with three (little) fingers only;
• You want to impress your little sister by showing her how you can play the same chords with two bars!
• You want to understand how this fingering for C13 is actually a fingering for C13;
• You broke a string and want to know how to play some chords without;
• You want to know how Django managed to play with two and a half fingers.
The app fully support left-handed instruments.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

1 ★Arter UI redesign I almost stop using the app 'cos UI became confusing. Otherwise it was a great app Update: after more updates it became even worse from usability perspective, too bad :(
3 ★So counter intuitive, so many weird choices. Why does a GUITAR app show you piano keys by default (unchangeable?) when looking at scales and require extra clicks to get to the GUITAR part. Add the piano, fine, but not as the FIRST thing it shows. Dumb...
5 ★I am writing a new review for this. I searched for another guitar app, have smart chord too, that one is not as good even with extra content. This one is easily the best guitar app. An amazing tool for android users, and worth it for Mac as well. The amount of scales alone is great. I like to put some reverb on, a little overdrive and play some exotic scales. Very sexy. I hope people find this one and GET RID OF any other music apps, guitar ones at least. The different ways it shows you, and sounds out the scales and notes so you know if you are playing it right, are what sets this one at the top of a long list of guitar apps. Plus it shows notes on piano, making it awesome for keyboard or piano work. Flawless victory
5 ★Love this App, I've played guitar for over 20years and I'm amazed at how much work was put into this App. Broken down into chords scales etc. Easy to use and i simply can't say enough good things about this App. Great job guys, giving you 5 stars only because I can't give you 10 stars!
5 ★No other app is as complete as this app. Maybe the only thing it is missing is a simple Circle of 5ths, but the otherwise, invaluable. Every scale, every mode. Search for a chord and see the fingerings. Need to know the chord progression? It'll tell you. Glad I paid for full version.
4 ★New interface is still a little off for me, would be nice to have the option of hearing the chords when you select them in simple or normal mode harmonizer for song building.
5 ★Great app! I've used four or five chord finding apps, and three reverse chord functionality. This one is the best by far. This could be more accurately called a voicing and harmonization app, with various methods of chord entry. Either the standard chord builder or the reverse chord finder can be used as an entry into the "fingerings" or "harmonization" section. Fingerings allows you to browse the various voicings Chord! generates. "Harmonization" suggests scales that work over the chords you've entered. Great app!
5 ★Great app, using it to supplement my mandolin studies. Incredibly well designed and highly useful. The only problem I've found is that the mandolin standard tuning is an octave lower than the instrument, which was easily fixed in the app - I had forgotten until I installed the app on a second device.
5 ★I use this app a lot as a guitar teacher and find it very useful. No ads, fairly easy to use - excellent all round.
5 ★I rarely write reviews, but this app is worth every penny. Best tool a musician can have in their workshop. All the features it provides will easily help accelerate your skills. Can not recommend enough.
4 ★I paid for this app a while ago and just loaded it on a new phone. Now I get popup ads all over the place, not just in the app. I deleted it and the ads went away.
2 ★When this app first came out, for years it was my ALL-TIME favorite app. I introduced it to Vai, Jason Becker, Vernon Reid. It was a privilege to help the dev with music theory regarding enharmonic equivalents for a previous CHORD! update (for free, because I loved the app so much and wanted people to learn music correctly; no flats nor sharps are arbitrary in music, not by a longshot). Since he got rid of those enharmonic equivalents changes, I want my name in no way related to this app. The current version of CHORD! is so profoundly inaccurate with regard to the correct enharmonic equivalent names of the notes in scales / modes / and chords, it renders the app flawed because if you're not offering the correct notes listed in the scales/ modes/ chords/ and families, the most fundamental building block of music, why offer them at all? (Note there is a button to show the correct "enharmonic equivalents" for B/C and E/F notes only! That is absurd, as EVERY scale/ mode outside of the C Major [and relative Am] deals with enharmonic equivalents.) I looked up D Harmonic minor to see if the correct enharmonic notes were showing: No. D Harmonic minor consists of the notes D, E, F, G, A, Bb, C#, (D). There's no such thing as a scale with D, E, F, G, A, Bb, Dd, (D). [With these notes, the Faug chord in the harmonized D Harmonic minor scale would have a FLAT sixth (Db) instead of an augmented 5th (C#), and that's just sloppy and incorrect]. This app COULD be brilliant. But the developer's admitted lack of music theory knowledge, now coupled with his lack of giving a hoot to the theory that has enabled those of us who play by ear, and those who read or do both, respectively, is unfortunate, ESPECIALLY to the beginners. When this app was simple, it was brilliant. Especially when the enharmonic equivalents were fixed. I just looked up three basic scales, modes, chords, respectively, and they all contained incorrect note values. That's just a shame. I played by ear the first 29 years I played, but at least I was taught the correct names of the notes in the pentatonic scales and modes, respectively, and chord families. This made learning music theory in my 30s-- in order to deconstruct/ understand what Zappa was doing-- that much easier, as I had a solid foundation to begin with. Disabled the past 13 years, I read and write everything in my head. I used this app years ago to help pick the chord voicings I wanted. Now, it's just easier for me to visualize the guitar neck with the correct notes in my head and transpose them into my tiny My Piano app on my phone. Grateful for the years this was app was king.
