D'Tools App Reviews

Ever heard’’if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”? …. this is a great example.. the most useful part of guitar tools, chors finder, crashes when i try to use it… I want GUITAR TOOLS back!!!!!!

Firstly appreciating that you have upgraded and that is out of my control. This was my favorite guitar app. Old version Easy to use the layout was great. Time will whether this is a plus

Im having the same problem with the chord finder crashing. The interface is not realistic like the old version, which is a little disappointing.

This is absolutely the worst thing that has ever happened to me as a result of an update. This was my favorite app on my iPhone. In many ways it was the best app I had ever used. It didnt have to go online and it was better than any tuner app I had ever seen. The chord dictionary was exceptional. Now I wouldnt pay a cent for it. I wouldnt install it if it were free. Bring back Planet Waves Guitar Tools or just delete this crap. It isnt worth having anymore.

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.

Ive had this app for a while, and its been very useful....and even though I preferred the layout before the update, I can get used to it. What I cant get used to is that the chord finder doesnt work, it crashes every time I try to open it. Please fix this, and consider changing the layout to something closer to what it was......then this would be a "five-star" music app.

So the Chord Finder works now, but I cant select open strings. Also as a test, I selected a C#m, which was then displayed as "no chord". All said and done, I prefer the Chord Finder of the old version.

Update: they fixed the crash. Should still have a way to contact them outside a review. Just asking for it...... Original: Like the others have said, chord finder crashes the app. Disappointing.

The Good: The app no longer crashes when you use the Chord Finder. The Bad: It doesnt find chords it used to. It doesnt even find basic D minor, major, and major 7 chords. Cant clear a string without exiting and restarting the Finder. Previous versions allowed rolling up & down fretboard, now you have to use arrows.

After update the soft crash on ios 8.1.1 !!! Work with wifi or 4G ,dont start without internet !

Chord Finder now opens without crashing the app, but it has major, serious problems. It won’t recognize a simple open D chord. If you mute the E (6th) string on most chords it return “no chord”. It is basically useless still. Come on Audiofile (app developer), you guys are way better than this. Back to the drawing board. If you need to hire a consultant who plays guitar and understands guitar chords, I’m available. Until Audiofile can make a working Chord Finder please go back to the old Chord Finder algorithm you were using. Or just go back to the old Guitar Tools app. Or release the old (working) Chord Finder as a stand alone app. Here’s hoping for a fix in the next update soon. Please.

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 Im just out of luck. And there is no apparent rhyme or reason. Maybe the recent iOS upgrade will help. Time will tell.

Update: After last IOS update to iPhone 6, microphone must be switched back on in for this app in Settings or tuner will not work. Go figure. Original Post: Flimsy version of Planet Waves Guitar Tools which I used for years. Things from PWGT that would make this a 5 star app: Give an option to or just make a dark background especially on the tuner. The strobe is much harder to see in current app. Wood style fretboard was also better for viewing. As other reviews note, chord finder shows "no chord" for many basic and complex grips, and any chord when you X out an open string. Once a fret marker is placed, that string can not be changed back to open. Hope some of function and style issues are soon resolved. PWGT was an awesome little app; this one, not so much yet.
