FEATURES:
CHORDS Explore a library of more than 7,000 guitar chords by simply tapping and strumming the touch screen. View chords in every position up and down the guitar neck and hear each one played back in pristine audio. There's even a "lefty" mode for the oft-neglected southpaw.

The older version of this app looked way better and it worked great. This version looks terrible and crashes when the chord finder opens. A real step in the wrong direction.
I have been a happy user of the ancestral Guitar Tools for several years, but I recently purchased a new iPod Touch and had to update to this. Sometimes it works fine and other times it crashes almost immediately. The icon starts to expand out to the splash screen and then boom! It crashes. Sometimes trying to open it several times will get it to work, sometimes rebooting the iPad will fix it and sometimes I'm just out of luck. And there is no apparent rhyme or reason. Maybe the recent iOS upgrade will help. Time will tell.
I'm having the same problem with the chord finder crashing. The interface is not realistic like the old version, which is a little disappointing.
Tried to use it today. All strings are 451hz, 1 semitone higher. FIX THIS SOON!!!!!!!!!!!
Just discovered last night that the tuner tunes my guitar slightly flat, although the app shows that it’s in tune.
On the first few uses it seemed great. Chord finder and scales were neat. Felt kinda clunky but worked. I actually really liked the metronome and trainer included. However once my phone rebooted, I got no more sounds. On the metronome and the chord dictionary. No audio. I rebooted, closed, reopened, reinstalled and still sounds don't work. Disappointing because it's otherwise pretty useful.
After update the soft crash on ios 8.1.1 !!! Work with wifi or 4G ,dont start without internet !
