Games are great time-killers, but since none of us really have all that much time to waste, it could be a better use of a time to play a game that might actually teach us a skill we’ve always wanted to learn. Maybe something like reading music…

That’s the basis behind ChordIQ Pro, the mobile game so cool it might just turn you into a musician. Right now, you can check out ChordIQ for yourself with a lifetime subscription offer at half off the regular price.
