Contact FourChords Guitar Songbook Support

As a beginner, this apps makes learning new songs fun. I highly recommend it for beginners and maybe intermediate players. It’s easier to learn the song with the beat and melody going with you. Worth the money to me.

Update. It’s been a year since last update. Still using and liking the app but have some improvements it needs. The major one is editing the play list. Adding and removing is all good but you have to move each song line by line to change the order. I.E. if I add a new song, it’s at the bottom of playlist. If your list is 40 songs long, and you want it at the top, you have to hit the move button 40 times.

2nd update. 2 years since the last update. It’s looking like what you see is all they’ll be. Still liking and using the app but it could be so much more.

3rd update. Still no app updates or bug fixes. It’s been several months since they’ve added any new songs and customer support has quit responding. Looks like they are abandoning it. I won’t be renewing my subscription

I use to love this app. I purchased hundreds is songs before they went to subscription service. Ever time they upgrade I lost all my songs. I was told to “restore purchases” the first time and I got back most of my purchase but there were still a lot missing. This last time I was asked for receipts for songs I purchased years ago. Who keeps receipts that long? I understand move to subscription due to licensing but not to lose what I paid for. 4 Chords should keep that record.

You can look at the other reviews for what is likable about the app, so I won’t duplicate those praises.

The biggest problem with this app is that it glitches on a regular basis. One of the most important thing as a beginner needs to work on is their timing. But this Apple often mess up on the downbeat advancing about a half a bar which will totally messed with your time. This is very frustrating and should easily be fixed by the developers.

The other major shortcoming is trying to figure out strumming patterns that go with songs. You can easily start to think that you’re a better player than you really are because of the backing tracks.

The interface is pretty sluggish changing from one Menya to another. Also the songs should remember what tempo you’ve been playing out. So for example knocking on heavens door is 74 BPM, but if you’re learning it at 59 BPM, the app won’t save what speed you’re trying to master. It resets to 74 ppm every time. Likewise there’s no tracking of your progress at any particular BPM. That would be a super simple feature to implement.

There’s a microphone icon which I guess is supposed to allow you to record, but it doesn’t work.
