Piano Companion PRO: chords App Reviews

This has been a helpful app. Thanks!

Ive seen other apps like Piano Companion, but never with everything in one place like this! Really convenient and helpful, especially as a college student studying music.

This has proved to be a very useful app, especially for learning chords and harmonic principles. I am not a piano player, but that doesnt prevent me from getting a lot out of this app. It saves me lots of time because all the info on chords, scales, and harmony I need is at my fingertips. Makes learning so much faster!

Learn, play, inspire and all you want to try with chords. 2 thumbs up!

Such a fun app to use when your in need of anything to do with playing the Piano! This app has so many features its crazy! Keep up the amazing work : )

Mind blowing! The amount of content in this fantastic reference tool is staggering.

Wont load!

Even better with iPhone 6 support! If the dev could shorten the app name so that it looks good on iPhone home screen it would be perfect!

All in all this app rocks. I can make chord progressions and export them to midi, i have access to a ton of chords, and its really helping me learn. One thing I think could improve is the navigation between menus is a bit cumbersome. Fix that and itd be perfect.

This app has everything you need to learn basic to complex chords, scales, circle of 5ths, and so much more. The chord dictionary is huge and each chord can be played. There is also a large scale dictionary. Very satisfied. Now I just need time to practice...

Helps with all your scales in every key along with all the chords that correspond with it. Its very comprehensive and is easy to use and it even has a neat chord progression feature. I recommend it for piano players of all skill levels because it packs powerful music information that could assist anyone, and for 3.99 you cant go wrong.

Could you please fix (or add) the ability to move chords around in Chord Progression interface? At this point you can only delete but cannot switch the chords from place to place. Thank you!

This is the most powerful piano learning app Ive seen yet. The only thing missing is a way to actually record song ideas. But this is BY FAR the most complex detailed piano app Ive ever used. Great buy !

I wish I found this before buying a few other piano related apps.

This is a great app for piano players.

Love this app! Very useful. I especially like the user library where I can store the chords for each song Im learning without having to look them up again. Thanks much!

I downloaded the “lite” version of this app and it was pretty useless so I decided to try the “pro” version of the app. After an hour of trying to use this I find it to be buggy. The reverse chord lookup doesn’t tell you what chord you played it just lists those that are “near” what you played. The root note won’t change and when I change it it just goes back to “C”. Want an Ab chord in the progression tool ? no you can’t select that and even if you do find a way to change it, it reverts to something else when you go back to the progression screen. I think a progression tool should be, pick the chords I want and the duration, tempo and bam ! there it is. Not with this app. Nice idea but so far a big waste of time.

I learned more in one night about playing chords on a piano than I have with anything else Ive ever tried to use. I play guitar and needed to figure out some basic stuff for a back track. By far, exceeded my hopes and did it quickly. Thanks!

I had high hopes for this app, but unfortunately I am regretting my purchase. Like the review titled, first impressions, I tried the free version first, but decided to get the app for full functionality. Now I wish I hadnt because it really isnt that helpful, easy to use, or intuitive. I agree with everything written in the first impressions review. The app leads you to believe that you are choosing a root other than C but in actuality, the root chord is always C. Chord progressions are predetermined with some standard selections, but if you wish to choose something other than what is preselected, it is not possible to, for example, choose Ab7 while you have Db as the root chord. There is also no help menu to help you along. I would return this if possible, and can only hope the developers will improve on this.

This app is amazing if you are learning scales and chords. It would be nice to have better jazz names and voicings though. Its impossible to make an E7alt. However, the chord lookup function has always made up for this when trying to find chord scales.
