About this app

40 great tools for learning, composing and playing for students or professional musicians. Everything works equally well for guitar, ukulele, bass or many other stringed instruments. Expect THE reference for chords, scales and picking patterns for any tuning. Or THE songbook with access to the world's largest catalogs of lyrics, chords and TABs.

Only the best should be good enough. Expect a best-integrated set of tools. Basics like tuner, metronome or circle of fifths. But just better. The tuner has e.g. an extra string change mode or the metronome a speed trainer.

The ultimate chord library knows every chord and fingering for every instrument and tuning. Without exception! Conversely, there is a chord name for any fingering.

A songbook that is second to none. It finds every song imaginable with chords for any tuning and instrument. Without registration and account. It converts songs for guitar independently for ukulele, bass or banjo. Or vice versa from ukulele to guitar, etc. Of course with the corresponding chords and favorite fingerings. Incredibly functional: Intelligent line break, auto scroll, zoom, audio and video player, drum machine, YouTube integration, pedal support, online editor and viewer, and much more.

Scales galore. Play the scales with all kinds of patterns. Like the pros. And also sometimes different from what you are used to. Provides the diatonic chords for every scale and vice versa.

Expect extraordinary tools like a fingerpicking trainer, a transposer or a tone generator. Or a drum machine for songbook accompaniment or as a rhythm trainer. Or the innovative scale circle. It applies the principle of the circle of fifths to hundreds of scales and modes.

smartChord for:
- Teachers as well as students. Exchange your exercises or songs

- No matter which key: smartChord transposes

I bloody well love this app, I must do, I have paid for unlimited 3 times. Warning don't get locked out of and not able to recover account that you used when you paid for the subscription. If that happens you loose your subscription and you can't get it redeemed. This is the one app that I really want unlimited but I'm not paying $40 Au for 4 th time. 👍🧑‍🎤🎸🤘⚡ I recommend highly to all musos this app is a must have wether you are a beginner just about to play there first note to the Clapton'

Hands down the best android app for musicians, with all features, song books, chord finding, scales, tuner with extensive alternative tuning lists as options, etc. ALL the bells and whistles. The song book feature lets you look up chords on the web, and save the page, so you can store all your online song chords in one place.

A very useful, comprehensive, richly-featured app—but man the UI is EXTREMELY counterintuitive. Gouges with in-app purchases. The hyped Songbook feature sucks; I was very unsatisfied with the purchase but my refund request was denied. You're better off manually googling tabs. Edit: There has been improvements to the UI and they were quick to fix a bug I found. I use this app a lot.

Hello, thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately we can not find an email with your name. Could you please write us again? We would like to understand, what does not work in the songbook, and also know about what could be improved with the UI: info@smartchord.de. That would be great. Thanks in advance. Best regards, Heidi, s.mart Music Lab
