Frequently asked questions

Tap the upload button on the Analyze tab, select an audio file from your device, and EasyKeys will begin analysing it. Timing depends on song length, backend load, and your internet connection.

EasyKeys supports MP3 and common iOS-supported audio files. For best results, use clear audio where the main harmony is easy to hear. Very low bitrate files may reduce detection accuracy.

No — EasyKeys works great for learning and exploration even without a guitar. The chord diagrams and strumming patterns help you understand song structure. Of course, playing along on a guitar gives the best learning experience.

Absolutely. EasyKeys is designed to be approachable for beginners — chord diagrams show exactly where to place your fingers, and strumming patterns are displayed visually. No music theory knowledge is required.

You can explore parts of EasyKeys as a guest, but an account is required for reliable sync, progress tracking, and full library history. Guest uploads are limited.

EasyKeys uses audio analysis to estimate likely chords. Results are best on recordings with clear guitar, piano, or strong harmonic content. Complex orchestral arrangements or heavily produced tracks may occasionally have inaccuracies.

Many songs analyse in under a minute, but timing can vary based on song length, connection speed, and backend availability. EasyKeys requires an internet connection to use the app.

Some chords (like extended jazz voicings or unusual inversions) don't have a standard guitar fingering. EasyKeys will show a simplified equivalent chord that sounds musically similar and is playable on guitar.

EasyKeys can analyse many genres, including pop, rock, folk, country, K-pop, classical, and more. Detection accuracy is highest for songs with prominent harmonic content. Heavy electronic or experimental music may yield less accurate results.

Uploaded audio is transmitted to the EasyKeys analysis backend so the app can return chord and beat guidance. Analysis results may be stored locally on your device for app operation, but EasyKeys still requires internet access. See the Privacy Policy for current processing and retention details.

When you use record-attempt lesson features, microphone audio is used to provide feedback and comparison where supported. See the Privacy Policy for current processing and retention details.

Open EasyKeys, go to Profile → Settings → Delete Account, and confirm the deletion prompt. This permanently deletes your account and associated EasyKeys data from active systems. The app also clears local chord analysis cache as part of the deletion flow.

We do not sell your data to advertisers. We use Supabase for account storage and sync, and EasyKeys/ChordMini backend services for audio analysis. Some features may use additional processors or lyric providers where enabled. See our Privacy Policy for full details.

Open Settings in EasyKeys and turn off Data sharing. Audio analysis and account sync features may stop working until you turn it back on.

Microphone access is used for guitar practice and lesson recording features, such as recording chord attempts for feedback. You can manage microphone permission in iOS Settings.

Use EasyKeys notification settings for practice reminders and quiet hours, or manage EasyKeys notifications from iOS Settings.

First check your internet connection and try again. If the issue persists, try with a different audio file to rule out a file format issue. If analysis consistently fails, contact us at craftedlabswork@gmail.com.

Chord detection uses ML audio analysis and is not 100% perfect. Results can vary based on recording quality, key, and instrumentation. EasyKeys is intended as a learning aid — always use your musical ear alongside the app's suggestions.

Check that your device is not in silent mode and that volume is turned up. If the issue persists, try force-quitting and reopening the app. If the problem continues, contact us and we'll help troubleshoot.

No. EasyKeys requires an internet connection to work. Audio analysis, account access, progress sync, and cloud-backed app content depend on online services.
