  • Meilleure application d’accordeur jamais créée

    MaddProfessor

    “J’ai téléchargé de nombreuses applications d’accordeur auparavant et celle-ci est de loin l’une des meilleures. Facile à utiliser, très conviviale, il y a beaucoup d’accords et de chansons fun pour vous aider à apprendre de nouvelles musiques. Je recommande vivement.”

  • Application bien conçue

    Rose the Black Cat

    “J’utilise principalement cette application pour accorder ma guitare, ce qui est incroyablement facile. Elle propose également une large sélection de chansons pour jouer en accompagnement et montre quels accords jouer ainsi que comment former les formes avec les doigts.”

  • M’a redonné envie de jouer

    Tuliketsune

    “J’ai téléchargé cette application pour accorder une vieille guitare, et j’ai remarqué qu’elle a une fonction qui fait défiler automatiquement pendant que je joue des accords de chansons célèbres. Pour une certaine raison, cela m’a donné beaucoup plus de motivation que toute autre méthode pour pratiquer la guitare. Maintenant, je pratique vraiment et je me souviens des noms des accords 🙂”

  • Arme secrète

    Brad

    “Non seulement c’est un accordeur (la meilleure application pour accorder une guitare ou autre que j’ai utilisée personnellement), mais il y a aussi un métronome, des jeux, des accords et une multitude d’instruments à choisir, et c’est SUPER facile à naviguer. J’adore ! Merci d’avoir créé une application géniale. D’un musicien à un autre, MERCI !!!”

  • Accordeur très fiable

    theNewPaul

    “C’est une excellente application ! Très facile à utiliser et très fiable, si vous débutez, vous pouvez vous soulager d’un grand souci en vous accordant rapidement et facilement avec cette application. Fortement recommandée !”

  • C’est le meilleur accordeur de guitare jamais conçu.

    Caleb Schafli

    “Ça accorde votre guitare avec précision pour qu’on puisse obtenir le meilleur son. J’aime aussi tous les autres petits jeux, car on peut apprendre à jouer différents accords et à identifier les accords en les écoutant, et tout cela est hors ligne.”

  • Idéale pour accorder et jouer

    Lynae T

    “J’adore la facilité avec laquelle je peux accorder, trouver et jouer mes chansons préférées.”
