ChordAid for Android

I have just purchased and opened this app. I do see some nice aspects in the ideas and somewhat in the layout. However, I am looking at the ukulele chords and the simplest chords are missing! F, G, and Am in particular, which are important chords to learn to play in their simplest versions… Am has only one finger placement, for example. F has a two-finger placement and G has a three- finger placement. Each of these are in a tight formation , near the C chord in the first fret. In other words, it seems to be missing the BASIC chords in the key of C! I will re-visit after I play with it for a while Perhaps I am missing something? The two stars are for the idea of the app. There are nice features, it appears. But that does not matter if it is incomprehensive. Please work on the uke chords!!

I needed an application that allowed me to copy chord diagrams to documents. ChordAid does that and a lot more. If you enter the chord progression for a piece of music, the application will show all the possibilities for each chord in the progression. When the “Show Chords in Any Inversion” option is selected, it will also give you all the inversions for each of the chords in question. I find myself using my printed “chord bibles” less and less and relying on ChordAid to discover what to me is an unfamiliar chord fingering. Tech support is also great. When I first started using ChordAid, I discovered the chord name didn’t come over with the drag and drop. I emailed ChordAid Support and had the update which supported inclusion of the chord name within three weeks. All in all, a great application.

This is my first hour of working with this app and I love it. The only reason right now I’m not giving it 5 stars is I need to use it more before. But wanted to give a quick heads up. If you need a good app to grab chord diagrams and paste into a document this works very well! Much easier than trying to create your own chords in Pages. I gave that up after an hour of dedicated trying. In the first few minutes with this app I’m finally on the right track. Note: There is another chord diagram maker out there and it’s listed as ‘Free’ — But if you want to print from that one it requires a subscription of 9.99 each year! Go with this one as it has tons more features.

Not worth 20 dollars, was hoping to use it with my harmony course but you only have the chord options given to you and it's lacking inversions amongst other chordal options. Should have just bought a 5 dollar chord chart poster.
