Thanks for the continuing support. We’re set to hit 100,000 downloads any day now. The good news is that you can now download a new version of GuitarChords. Here’s a list of the new features:
1. Now supports 50 different types of chords. In earlier versions, you could only display basic major and minor chords but now there is support for 7th chords, Minor 13th chords, even things like Minor Major 7th add 11. I don’t know what half of these chords are, but hey, you asked for them, so you got ‘em.
2. Improved chord calculator to use a fret range based on linear distance. This means that if you scroll up high on the neck, it will display chords with a range of five to six frets whereas lower on the neck the fret range is three to four frets.
3. Added support to display alternative chord fingerings. When a chord is displayed, if there are alternate fingerings it will display a row of grey circles just above the fretboard. Click on the circle to display the alternate fingering.
So quit listening to me yap, and download the latest version. Also, in case some of you haven’t noticed, I’ve also released a widget called Upcoming Birthdays. It reads your Address Book and tells you when you have birthdays coming up. I’ll be making updates to that pretty soon too.

Hi. Love the widget. It’d be even better with fret numbers when scrolling up the neck, perhaps note letters hovering over (A-G), and finger numbers (1-4). Otherwise pretty damn good.

Is there any change of choosing your own colour for the design? The yellow doesn’t colour wiht the rest of my dashboard…:)
