Chordify, one of the world’s most prominent online music resources for chords, will be launching its iOS app on September 23, during the NEXT Conference of the Reeperbahn Music Festival in Hamburg, Germany. CEO and cofounder Bas de Haas will demonstrate the features of the new app during the Dutch Digital Impact Session on Friday, and give a presentation about the company’s growth strategy for the coming years.
The Reeperbahn Festival in Hamburg is one of the largest music showcase festivals in Europe, with over 70 different venues and 32,000 visitors. This year’s focuscountry during the festival and industry conference is the Netherlands, and Chordify is part of Creative Holland, a delegation of twelve Dutch companies representing the creative, music, and digital industry.
Chordify has millions of monthly visitors and welcomed its 500,000th registered user this month. Because of increasing popular demand, the company developed an iOS app for mobile users. The new app has many of the same features as its online counterpart and is just as intuitive and easy to use. The app and web version communicate seamlessly, syncing user song libraries and favorites instantly, making them playable on mobile and desktop.
A newly added feature allows users who might not know how to play certain chords, to play along with interactive chord diagrams for piano, guitar and ukulele. Both the chords and chord diagrams are synced to the beat of a song and switching between them is fast and easy, with the press of a finger. From the app, users can search and get chords for the entire catalogue of both YouTube and SoundCloud, and also search the collection of 4.5 million songs that have already been chordified.
Besides demonstrating the features of the new iOS app, cofounder Bas de Haas will also present Chordify’s plans to grow in the coming years. One of the new developments is the recently launched, platform independent Chordify Now Embedded Player, allowing users to get the chords of any song on any music platform and play along with an embedded player, without leaving the website.
With the new embedded player, Chordify aims to be featured on every imaginable online music platform, from band and festival websites and music blogs, to Apple Music, YouTube and Spotify, introducing a much wider audience to online music education and Chordify.
