Best couple of bucks I've ever spent on an app. I bought it mainly to identify and find chords but I ended up having a lot of fun with the quizzes, which surprised me. I wish there were more or perhaps have them randomly generated somehow. One nice addition would be some tools to help learn notes on the fretboard. As it stands is a very slick and usable app and we'll with the low asking price.

Amazing app, have nothing negative to say. Have you ever thought of adding a feature where you can create and save chord progressions, I'm aware of the ability to save chords I'm more so thinking progressions as a whole. I often use Oolimo to create different chords/inversions and I would love to be able to create unique progressions on the go.

Thanks for giving Oolimo a great rating although you're missing a feature you'd like to have. There are many things I want to add in the future. I'm currently working to implement the quiz with the next update in august. Then some interactive theory and for sure also Chord progressions! I'm giving my best but have to ask for patience! Oliver

I love this app, its great for finding your way around the fretboard and all its hidden chords. I'd love if you could implement the changing of your tuning in the chord finder too, as it would really help to learn other tunings. For example playing around with drop d it can be a bit confusing working out the change in your bass note (2 semitones down) without a clear picture.
