Search the web for guitar chord charts to your favorite songs. Then, Chord Reader will automatically analyze the chords and allow you to transpose, add a capo, etc. It's great for guys like me with a limited vocal range.
You can also click a chord to see the suggested guitar fingering. Multiple fingerings are shown, with the most common one first.
Additionally, you can import your own chord charts into Chord Reader. Simply copy the files you want (in plain text format) from your computer to the "/sdcard/chord_reader" folder.
This is free and open-source software, so any bug reports or contributions are appreciated.
Rock on, fellow Android guitarists!

This app works well on my GS3, but on my Asus Infinity Tablet, nothing loads after the initial search results. I click a result and it just remains at a blank page. Bummer.

Note that the version as at Mon11feb13 does not work with Nexus 7 and Nexus 10. When you a choose chord you always get back a Blank Screen. It appears to work on Android 2.3.5 phone. Pity. Gave 2 stars as probably its quite good from other comments.

I had high hopes for this app. What a complete let down. Wouldn't open anything. The search function worked wonderfully, but clicking on links? Nope. Opening chords? Nope. Complete fail. Uninstall. In less than two minutes... That's got to be a record...
