Unlike most of the other apps, it generates itself chords diagrams, so it supports any chord (even slash ones like D/F#) in any tuning, with any number of strings (guitar, banjo, ukulele, bass, mandolin, etc.). You can fine tune to your needs the chord search algorithm, like specifying the maximal number of fingers or fret span for example.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You can hear how each diagram sounds by sweeping your finger across the strings. The diagrams are displayed in color and you can view stats about the current fingering.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You can also reverse search chords: Entering on a neck the fingering will give you instantaneously the possible names of the chord and you will then be able to explore possible variations.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Furthermore, it embeds a database of 400 scales that you can plot on a neck in any tuning, or reverse search. It means that you can find the scales corresponding to the notes you enter on a neck.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You can also harmonize each scale with a total freedom on the parameters.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The database is shipped with a hundred of tunings for various instruments and you can add you own ones. You can also add a capo or forbid some strings (for example if you broke some).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The app fully supports left handed instruments.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Please see my website www.rabugentom.com for more informations.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Translated in: English, German, French, Italian, Portuguese (Brazilian), Romanian, .&lt;br&gt;(Translation are temporary disabled in the V3 since the translated strings have changed)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Chord has been featured app in the android market and was presented at Google IO 2011! &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Note: The app tries to detect if your device is a tablet or a phone. For intermediate devices like big phones or small tablets it is not straightforward, and you can override the layout in the settings, advanced section.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Note: Some Archos devices may no be able to reproduce sound.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Recent Changelog Archive:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Version 3.0&lt;br&gt;&amp;bull;App completely rewritten, compatible with phone and tablets;&lt;br&gt;&amp;bull;Enhanced Chord module, with fast previsualization, and with a new &amp;quot;Simple&amp;quot; input mode;&lt;br&gt;&amp;bull;Enhanced Scales module, with now 400 scales (from 60), and new visualizations (Scale, Staff and Keyboard);&lt;br&gt;&amp;bull;Tunings can now have capo, straight or partial;&lt;br&gt;&amp;bull;Fingerings, Chords, Scales and Tunings can now be favorited (will be more useful in a future version);&lt;br&gt;&amp;bull;Reverse Harmonization is available for phones;&lt;br&gt;&amp;bull;Possibility to choose notes naming convention;&lt;br&gt;&amp;bull;Integration with Google's Cloud Backup service (if enabled on device);&lt;br&gt;&amp;bull;Added a feedback module where you can send messages to the dev directly from the app.&lt;br&gt;&amp;bull;Added a in app (not pushed) notification module where you can get infos about the app (bugs reported, new version available,...)&lt;br&gt;&amp;bull;Added &amp;quot;Access Internet&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Check Network Access&amp;quot; permissions to match the free version ones and allow the feedback and notification module to work.&lt;br&gt;&amp;bull;Since the app is completely new, a lot of new strings are not translated. This does not reflect the hard work of translators and this will be improved in a future version!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;(...) Full Changelog in the app&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Recent changes:&lt;br&gt;Chords notes are now showing the correct enharmonic equivalent.&lt;br&gt;Added an option to engage full enharmonic differentiation for chord notes (can use Cb instead of B if needed, etc.)&lt;br&gt;Fixed octaves of ukulele's standard tuning&lt;br&gt;Added a few more ukulele tunings in the factory list&lt;br&gt;Fixed some typos&lt;br&gt;Bug fixed for application crashing in reverse harmonization module&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Important note for Galaxy S4 Users:&lt;br&gt;A bug is disabling sound in the full version on some devices. It's been investigated.</description></item><item><title>Italian&lt;-&gt;Russian dictionary</title><link>http://www.appbrain.com/app/italian%3C-%3Erussian-dictionary/com.slovoed.noreg.italian_russian.deluxe</link><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.appbrain.com/app/italian%3C-%3Erussian-dictionary/com.slovoed.noreg.italian_russian.deluxe</guid><comments>http://www.appbrain.com/app/italian%3C-%3Erussian-dictionary/com.slovoed.noreg.italian_russian.deluxe#comments</comments><pubDate>Thu, 17 Dec 2009 14:05:06 +0000</pubDate><description>#1 DICTIONARY TECHNOLOGY IN THE WORLD &lt;br&gt;Talking Slovoed Deluxe Italian-Russian and Russian-Italian dictionary includes 88,000 entries and 101,000 audio pronunciations recorded by native speakers. &lt;br&gt;The most reliable dictionary content from the world&amp;rsquo;s leading lexicographers.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;--------------&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Convenient search methods allow you to find any word in a number of different ways:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;∙ General search&lt;br&gt;∙ Full Text Search &lt;br&gt;∙ Search for anagrams (bat-tab)&lt;br&gt;∙ Search within entries to narrow down and quickly navigate larger entries&lt;br&gt;∙ Wildcard search to find the word even if you don&amp;rsquo;t know its exact spelling&lt;br&gt;∙ Similar words search in case of misspelling&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Translate features: &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;bull; Full text search feature allows you to look up words more efficiently throughout the whole dictionary content, including headwords and usage examples.&lt;br&gt;&amp;bull; Three input methods make dictionary word look-ups more convenient than ever.
