If you are ever looking for a way to play a chord that is different from what you might see in a table or a book, this program could be for you.

This is a program for all string instruments, not just a uke, but it covers the uke world completely. It shows all the chord possibilities in the selected uke tuning -- C, both high and low G, D, G, both high and low D, Bb and gives you the option of doing your own thing, such as a Cautro or slack key tuning.
It shows the chord possibilities over the complete neck.
I find it useful when I might be looking for another way to finger a chord. For example, there are several ways to pay an Em in the top 5 frets, but the easiest is just a 2 finger version, 0302. And there are 12 ways to finger a C7 chord in the top 5 frets. So the program gives you a lot of options.
One nice feature is the ability to show finger placement on a provided graphic and the program will tell you the name of the chord, if it is a chord. 0323 is not a chord, but 2323 is a diminished chord, so you cannot cheat by leaving out the first string -- it isn't a chord.
There is an audible feature -- the program gives you the sound of the selected chord.
So if you want to delve into chord options, this could be for you.
