About this app

Piano Companion is a flexible piano chords and scales dictionary with user libraries and reverse mode with a flexible chord progression builder. If you can’t remember the name of a chord or scale, this app helps you to find it by keys. For example, just press C, G and you will get C Major as the first chord in the search result. If you don’t see a chord, you can create a custom chord and use it for chord charts or your user library.

The Piano Companion app shows chord and scale notes, degrees, fingering for both hands in major and minor scales – and you can contribute your own custom fingering too. Additionally, you can listen how a scale or chord sounds in the loop or arpeggiated. You can see the list of compatible chords in the selected scale or list of compatible scales for a selected chord.

The app helps you to experiment with different chord progressions using our Chord Progression Builder using relative or common chords.

Ratings and reviews

I'm a beginner in music and I find this loaded with USEFUL info. I'm using the Pro version and it's worth every penny (it wasn't a lot). I'm not sure what an experienced musician that knows music theory already would say. But it's a great reference I think for folks of any level. Would make a great teaching aid! Fairly easy to use and understand.

I have liked this app a lot but lately it does not show the degrees of the scale as before in the chord dictionary. Example Major = 1 3 5. That section is just gone. Hope it comes back!! They have made this change and others that pretty much make this app perfect. When it shows the notes in a chord you can tap a note and it will toggle between intervals and number value (1, b3 etc). I am jazz player and use this app a lot to double check my chords and to try different modes in the scales section. For music theory this thing is better than many books and always there for a quick lookup. The only thing I might add is an Interval section where you could select a note and then ask it to find the note up or down a desired interval. Anyway kudos to the developer of this.

Please, please fix the audio issues. I love this so much that even though I can't hear it right now, I still gave 4 stars. I think it might have to do with my various Bluetooth headphones. It hasn't made any audio for two days now. It usually comes back by now. It's NOT the headphones or speaker... Because the cursor doesn't move... I hit PLAY and the button changes to PAUSE button, but cursor doesn't move so it's NOT playing. There's no audio because it won't actually play anymore. HELP! FIX IT! I BOUGHT THE PRO PACKAGE, NOW FIX IT. Update: Okay, apparently I put a check mark in something in the SETTINGS that made it not play. Why would you out something that would do that in the settings? New thing I want you to fix... When I delete ONE row... It jumps all the way to the beginning... So, if I have multiple rows to delete... I have to figure out where I was... again and again. VERY, VERY ANNOYING. Fix that part, please. Number the rows or if you could give me an option to put a flag to note different sections. Also, make it so you could choose multiple rows to move them, copy/paste or delete them. I need an UNDO button... That would be very helpful, too. I will give you more money to fix these things because this app is excellent, fix these things. Another update: It still freezes up. I have to close it, reopen it and figure out where I was until it does it again. It usually does it when I'm in the middle of the song and I stop it to change something.
