Fretter - Chordfinder Lite app for iPhone and iPad
Tired of all those chordfinder apps that just give you the standard results every app gives you? Fretter is the new kid on the block. And its great. Ugly, but great!
We didnt sit behind our computers typing in all those chord diagrams, no we spent our time better. We came up with a way to give you lots of great correct diagrams, without needing us to do boring stuff: Fretter teaches your iPhone basic musictheory and with that knowledge it has the power to give you every possible diagram there is. Want to see how to play Cmaj7/F# on a Guitar with a Dropped D tuning? Fretter knows how to search for it! (We didnt try, but if its possible to play, it will definitely show up. Yes, were lazy. :) )
Still, Fretter is great. And it does awesome stuff like reverse chord lookup (for the creative geniuses among you), and you can also strum the diagrams to hear how they sound. Easy if you want to find the perfect sounding Dmaj9 or whatever strange chord you need!
So, what are you waiting for? Fretter!

Looking for ways to play all those chords on your guitar, banjo, ukulele or mandolin? Interested in a reverse lookup function? Fretter: the ultimate chordfinder!
Fretter doesnt rely on a database with diagrams, instead it calculates all the possible diagrams for a given chord/instrument/tuning combination. Its algorithm is optimized to only present to you the chords that you can actually play as a human.
Because Fretter is build this way, you can select any tuning and still have all the possible chords presented to you.
You can easily select a basic or advanced chord, optionally with added bassnote, and go to the diagrams. Each diagram has extra information about the chordnotes and the intervals used.
A very nice feature is the audio playback. You can hear how the chord variations sound so you can easily select which variant you like the most.
Also included is a reverse lookup option. Nice if you are a bit adventurous and you are coming up with your own chords on your instrument, but dont know how they are called. Fretter can help you here by providing you with the correct naming.
If you are looking for a chord reference app: this is what you need.
"Where this app stands out though, is not in its vast reference of chords; it is in it’s reverse look up option."

Latest reviews of Fretter - Chordfinder Lite app for iPhone and iPad
I use this for ukulele and guitar and it works great! I dont find any problem with it at all. Very useful.
I honestly cant believe theres no reviews on this yet. A wonderful all in one chord utility for the avid guitarist, ukulele player, and a few other instruments. Very highly recommend.
Yesterday my friend showed me the fretter app for his droid and I thought it was the coolest thing ever. So instinctively I had to search the iOS app store for it, I was excited when I had found it. But my excitement ended once I downloaded the lite version. They didnt have the same interface as the droid version, no scale diagrams, and another that it doesnt have is having a touchable fretboard to figure out chords and such, I was fairly disappointed with this app, though it is useful for looking up chords but then again so is every other guitar app out there, I would have gladly bought the full version if it had been just like the one in the droid market, adjustments on this app need to be made before I pay my hard earned money on it.
I love this app. Its got every chord out there and displays them in a useful way. My only gripe is sometimes it seems to lack versions or variations that I see elsewhere. It always provides a correct right chord, its just confusing for a beginner.
I entered F sharp minor seven, No response. So I tried C major, no response.
