If you want to improve your playing, this Oolimo app is a fundamental tool. If you have a guitar and fingers, the next essential thing you’ll want is this app. Oolimo on YouTube also has great guitar teaching content unlike anything else I’ve seen. Thanks to you Oliver Mochmann not only for this priceless app but for everything you do on YouTube and on the internet to help your fellow guitarist. Brovo! Show more

I am a new user of Oolimo. This has been unbelievably helpful in finding chords at the positions of my melody. This app makes it possible for me to build my chord vocabulary as I work. 50 stars! Show more

As a tool for learning the music theory behind guitar tabs, this is exactly what I was looking for. Wanna know what that weird chord you’re playing is? This all will tell you. Show more

Long time musician and music theory nerd - like many of you no doubt——-I have tried countless apps like this and it has replaced all my other ones. The Analyzer is maybe my fav tool. I also use the website version in my studio. I would love it to evolve into more of a harmonic/progression/substitution/modulator/builder/recommender (yes, I am asking a lot) for which I would happily pay more. Show more

I found this app while looking for a way to know what chord I actually was playing. I began playing about two years ago, on and off, so really not good. But I love playing and began like composing I guess you could call it. Now by having this app I can actually write down my notes! It helps a lot to understand music. This app has amazing features and I recommend it to anyone who play the guitar! Show more

This app looks great and is very informative. It is extremely useful, highly recommend it.

(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!!!

Great app. Best app for looking up chords and learning new ones. Only recommendation is that more chords are added to the “Chord Finder”. It would also be awesome if a piano version was made!! Show more

Firstly oolima is just the best as far as the chord analysis.I play in FACGAe,DADF#Ae,DADGAD,DAC#F#Ae and several other tunings.I LOOOOVE that you can put custom tunings and save them So that you can then figure out complex chords. I play alternative, math rock and progressive.(Polyphia,Covet,Toe,Dream theater) but i also can play all the classics. I am an experimental guitarist,and having this app gives me everything i need!ONE THING (ADD A CAPO FEATURE AS I TAP ALOT)PLEASEEE Show more

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? Show more

This may be the best $2.99 I have ever spent! Fantastic.

The app is great for many of the simpler and more complex chords used in many types of music. Oliver, thank you for your thoughtful response and the education.

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. Show more

I can’t put into words how great this is. Very well made and very helpful

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. Show more

This is a very good application but it does have some shortcomings. Here is one I found. A 7♭5 chord is very common in the Latin stuff I play but don’t try to find it in his application because it’s not there. He calls it a 7#11. Take the key of G as an example. When you go into the chord finder and look for a G7♭5 you will find nothing and when you click in the notes in the chord analyzer that chord name does not come up on the list. It should since this is a common chord name. But my trusty Mel Bay chord book has it. Fix this problem. Players will relate to a flatted 5th way more than a sharped 11th Show more

I have been using the PC version for some time and it works great; just found the app and immediately purchased it. Highly recommend! I have been playing guitar for 50 years - in bands, not just at home - and the app will be an awesome help when I’m away from my computer. Even the theory explanations are helpful and succinct! Show more

UPDATE: I upgraded my iPhone and the app started to work. An update broke the app and I’m back to no sound. The developer has kept in contact with me trying to resolve the issue and has been just great. It works on my ipad pro perfectly. Still no sound even with update Show more

Happened upon the website version and was blown away at how easy it was to use. It suggests every chord it might be when finding random note groupings on the neck which helps me write and suggest chords instead of having slapping obvious music. The chord book is phenomenal too. A price worth the treasure! Show more

I just get a green square. And nothing else. How can I fix this?
