The tool that teaches

Like other reviewers here, I used this online regularly and was thrilled to see it as a stand-alone app. It’s great because you can approach a chord from seeing/hearing inversions on the fly, or from forming your own and having its “tonal makeup” appear as you create it (where is the root, is there a lower 3rd or raised 5 etc) so it teaches you. In that regard you can go deep into the “description” field to really break out what’s happening. To top it off, the UX is one of my favorites, very intuitive and organized for the guitarist. My one gripe is that I could not get the app to show an 7aug or a m9b5? I think that probably falls into enharmonic equivalents, but I wish I could ask the developer what I’m missing?

Super impressed, excited to learn!

(Edited below)
Extremely informative, great ui, and makes theory kinda fun! I’m always creating chords and wondering what they are and how they relate to each other, and this app helps me understand. My only request is for features of chord progressions to be added, as the web version already has. Other than that, amazing work!

Edit: PLEASE add a chord library/option to save progressions to the app! Only 9 slots to save chords are available, but if we were able to save different progressions into folders to access later and/or save specific fingerings for chords we like, it would take this app to the next level!!!

BUY. THIS. APP. NOW.

I have been using the webpage Oolimo for years and have been waiting on the app for just as long. As a songwriter, it has helped me identify chords I “made up” or find chords I’ve been looking for. It is hands down the best application for guitar chords, bar none. There is so much I love about Oolimo that I can’t list it all here.

The price for this app is an absolute steal and I would gladly pay 50 times the price for what this app can do. No question.

If you play guitar, you NEED this app.
