There are loads of free chord finder apps for Android & iOS that will help you learn new chords easy as pie. All these apps are different — some let you learn chords, some provide chord arrangements for songs, but all of them are equally useful, especially for beginners. And if you’re just starting your way in playing music, you’ll need to learn how to read the notes first.

We’ve gathered together the 10 best free apps in that category you may try. Take a look!

Chord Tracker

Let’s start with an app that lets you find the chords to all your fave songs in a blink of an eye.

The main goal of this app is to let you get the chords of any song and help you learn how to play it. The mechanics are quite simple — the app analyses any song stored on your devices and shows you the cord symbols for it. Thus, you’ll be able to practice your performance for whatever long till you’re fully satisfied.

Herewith, the app won’t work with a streaming service, so you’ll need to download the song first. It needs to be said, the app does a good job in classifying the chords, and it will surely match the mood of the song closely. However, sometimes you may not get the exact match — which is not that big of a deal, but you’d better be warned.

The good news is you get t to customize the tempo and the key of the song o it would match your playing style more. Plus, the app only covers the arrangements for guitar and a piano, so keep that in mind. Another thing you need to consider is that the songs protected by DRM can not be analyzed by the app.

ChordBank

This is an app that will help you to learn loads of guitar accords.

This app is two-in-one — a chord finder and a virtual tutor. Herewith, apart from the previous app, this one doesn’t look up for songs — just chords and audio samples. In other words, this app is more for beginners trying to learn new chords, and it’s pretty useless for professionals.

As it was already mentioned, the app covers loads of chords — from monitor to major, 7th, and so on. Herewith, the free version only allows you to access the basic harmonies, and you need to pay to unlock all the others. The app comes with minimalistic UI and simple navigation, so you’ll quickly figure out how to use it properly.

Speaking of a tutoring part of this app, the instructions are detailed, so you’ll be able to learn chords effortlessly. All the strings are visible, and the app shows you where to put each of your fingers to play a chord. The bars are clearly labeled as well, so you’ll get to know when to get up and down the fretboard. The app also has full left-handed support if needed.

Chord! Free

If you’re looking for the simplest and the fullest accord finder app — you’ve found one.

One of the best things about this app is the fact that it supports plenty of fretted instruments along with the guitar. To be more precise, the app covers the chords, for the ukulele, bass, banjo, and more. What is more, this app is not based on a chart database — it analyses all the possible fingerings instead which makes it great for beginners.

Beyond that, you may go to the settings and customize your playing level, so the app could adapt to your skills. Plus, the app gives you the ability to search for any chord, split, or else. You may rather pick a chord from the list or use a virtual keyboard to enter the chord as it is written.

The app also covers plenty of scales, but the free version only comes with five. Additionally, the app lets you add custom tuning to any instrument if needed. It can also be quite helpful if you’ve been given an instrument you’re not familiar with and want to know how to turn it correctly.
