1.0.20
Mar 30, 2023
We are proud to introduce a new exercise type: The Continuous Chord Trainer will train you to switch between chords in time without stressing you too much. It offers three modes that first stop you if you don't manage to play the chord in time, giving you the time you need to finger the chord. Later, it challenges you to remember the chord shape on your own. But don't worry. If you forget how to play it, it will show you the diagram again.
Give it a try and feel free to send us your feedback at support@uberchord.com.

1.0.13
Dec 7, 2022
We fixed a problem with chord recognition that occurred when practicing faster songs (e.g. All Of Me). Now all correctly played chords should be counted as correct again.
We also fixed a bug in the strumming exercises that was causing artificially long exercises. Although because they say "practice makes perfect", exercises can't be too long, right ;-)
Finally, we have implemented a version check to ensure that you are always up to date.
