Great but not perfect - yet
Like Robbo 99, it would be good to have other tunings available on Chordfinder.
I also used to have another great app, which has been discontinued which covered other instruments such as Ukulele and Mandolin. Add these and Cigar Box Guitar and it would be perfect.
Best out there!
I downloaded several chord library apps before finding Oolimo and it really is the best out there!
Great app
Every guitar player needs this for reference and education. Reached out to Oliver to add open tuning change to chord finder as well as analyser ( I can’t find it, maybe I’m missing something), great app nonetheless.
Very impressive
This app looks fantastic and works wonderfully.
Brilliant and very useful
Absolutely fab app. I’ve been playing over 30 years and love this. Dead easy to use abs super handy to work out chords and intervals. Well done!
Fantastic tool
I used to use this app all the time then switch to others as I’m left handed but with the new update I can now use this app exclusively!
Keep up the amazing work!
Alternate tunings
Thanks very much for updating the app with alternate tunings, huge improvement and very helpful.
Simple yet powerful
I’ve been using the web based version for a while as I learn the guitar, and for reference. This app makes that functionality available on the phone in a very elegant little app. It doesn’t overburden you with options or a clunky interface like some other apps, but puts what you need right in front of you. I will be using this all the time, both when practicing and when I want to test my knowledge away from the guitar. Easy five stars!
Great Guitar App
This is an excellent app which covers every note on the guitar fretboard.It has the reverse finder, which means you can insert your own notes and find what they are.It covers intervals and other areas of music theory.I have learnt a lot on its functions.
