Minimal with Real Design & Usability Issues
MAKuch
App looks and operates as if there was zero thought given to aesthetics and user experience. It does basically what it promises but... Chord selections are made above the chord display so you can’t easily see the before and after switch. Guitar fret changer violates basic app design rules in that swiping the fret display doesn’t slide the display as expected. You have to touch the actual dots. Selections are everywhere crammed together inviting fat-finger mistakes. Where are scales for the stringed instruments? Barely OK for free.
Minimalist MAGNIFICENCE

This App is the Cleanest, Most Concise and Easiest Interface for Guitar Chords that I have EVER seen! Some GUI suggestions (I am only reviewing the Guitar interface.) 1. Center the whole face! On my iPhone it is tagged to the Top with way too much Empty space at the Bottom. Also make the Interface able to turn 180 degrees. 2. Add the Sound of each chord! 3. Provide Color Schemes for Users to choose from. This could evolve into the Absolute BEST Chording App on the App Store!!!!!!
Some severe problems

Context: I’m only interested in ukulele chords. The first chord variation shown is quite often not a common, easy fingering. I wonder if the different inversions were chosen by algorithm, and not by a uke player. Take a look at D minor, for example - there are seven variations; the very last one is the common one. This will be bewildering for the beginning player. I don’t know if this problem affects the banjo or guitar chords. In the iPad version, I can’t get any but the first chord variation to display. The series of dots in iOS apps typically indicates that swiping left or right will show different information; in this app, swiping does nothing. In the iPhone version, I found by frustrating trial and error that tapping on the left or right of the dots works. Even setting aside this bizarre user interface choice, at least it works on the iPhone. Not so on the iPad. I tapped away like a lunatic on every square centimeter of the screen, and I can’t get the app to show any but the first uke chord variation. This bug doesn’t affect banjo or guitar chords. I do like the appearance, but the interface is weird and un-idiomatic; in the case of the iPad, it’s unusable. It doesn’t support split screen mode, which absolutely should be fixed, but not before those other problems.
Needs work

It's cool in a minimal way perhaps the simplest way to quickly access chords I've seen although they don't always seem to be the most practical voicings. The biggest problem I have with the app is that the options screen is completely non functional the only 2 things you can set are name length and show note options and neither works at all.
STOP ASKING ME TO RATE THE APP

I was enjoying the app, but it started asking me to rate it every 30 seconds. My enjoyment turned to pure hate. Not a good strategy for getting good ratings.
