Ratings and reviews

looks like a great app but too expensive. 2 bucks a month isn't bad but chordbot does the same stuff for a one time price and there's a chord or lite. I'd like to get this if it were like 5 bucks flat fee. But I'm not paying monthly...

Strumforge has been very helpful learning keys with the key generation. It's been a surprisingly significant addition to my practice routine.

Fantastic for Guitar Songwriting ideas and practicing. Not only has a huge selection of Chord progressions but also metronome and various filters for the types of chords you want in the progression (barre chords, power chords etc). Highly recommended
