Oolimo Guitar Chords

(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!!!

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?

This is the smartest tool I’ve ever seen not just in apps, but all across the internet, books, everything. The chord analyzer and chord finder sections compliment and work together fluidly and perfectly. The fact that you can click on strings and build chords that you may have played on the guitar and don’t know what they may be, or why they sound good to you, is a feature that even allows you to understand your own playing, and no tool or website can rival that. In addition, when looking up any chord in the list of chords, you can see it intelligently in every inversion, and you can also turn on arpeggio, and it’ll show the arpeggios relative to the chords your playing, and they are displayed slightly less prominently to the chord. That’s brilliant. It has saved me hundreds of hours of web searching and googling to answer simple questions. The visual design of this app is so simple, streamlined and genius, I don’t think anything rivals it. There’s also a button to sound any chord you create by selecting notes on the fretboard, and this app has even become something I can use to study music when I don’t have a guitar, like on an airplane. This app is so perfect, I honestly hope it never changes and is available for all foreseeable future. I’m blown away. I personally would count it as the best guitar app created to date, and possibly one of the greatest apps created of all time next to Shazam and Juxtaposer. It’s completely in a class of its own, there’s nothing to compare it to. If I had to, I would buy it 100x over. If you’re a guitarist you should have this immediately and it should be where mine is, on my first page of apps on my phone. To the designers and developers, a standing ovation. When I have new students, the first thing I do is make them buy this app, sometimes even before buying a guitar. This little app was birthed from pure brilliance.
