Description

Chord Reader 2 is an enhanced version of Chord Reader, developed by Nolan Lawson. It's an app that:

  • fetches chord charts and tabulatures for your favorite songs from the Internet,
  • saves them to a local file,
  • displays them in an easy-to-read format with the chords highlighted in an autoscroll view,
  • transposes the identified chords up or down, or you can add a capo,
  • provides common chord variations,
  • provides a setlist mode to play your songs subsequently in a predefined order.
